I HEART MAKEUP BLUSHING HEARTS TRIPLE BAKED BLUSHER REVIEW

Today I'll be reviewing I heart makeup blushing hearts triple baked blusher. I have wanted to try some of I heart makeups products for a while, as I really like Makeup Revolution's products and I believe they are made by the same people. I have really wanted to try their boxed powders and chocolate bar palette (both Two Faced dupes) for a while but they never have them in stock. I heart makeup has quite a few boxed powders but I chose this one because I thought It had a few rose gold shades which I think suit me best. The blusher is not matte which I didn't think I would like but I think its quite pretty, especially for the summer, Also I find I don't need to use highlighter if I don't want to because the blusher gives the same effect. I find the blushers last for the majority of the day but Its difficult to tell because my cheeks go naturally red throughout the day!

 

The product is split into three sections. The smallest segment is a bright pink, with blue undertones, I personally don't like this shade as much as the others because it is so bright, but I find when I mix the three shades together it creates a really pretty colour on my cheeks. The second colour is a lot more peachy, It is quite similar to the last shade but lighter. I often just mix these two shades and apply it to my cheeks with a stippling brush, as it doesn't apply much product.  

 

Here are the swatches;  The top one is a mix of all three, and the shade next to it is the brightest pink,

MAKEUP REVOLUTION ICONIC SMOKEY PALETTE

I think this palette has been out for quite a while but I only got it recently. The palette is an amazing dupe for the Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette, I didn't think I was going to like the palette that much as it contains a lot of cool shades but I actually really like it. It contains twelve shades and only four of them are matte and the majority of the shades are grey so if you don't like grey tones on your eyes this palette may not be for you. The formulation of the eyeshadows are the same as all makeup revolution eyeshadows. This palette is £6 which is obviously a lot cheaper then Urban Decays shadows. The palette also comes with a double sided brush, which is quite good.

 

I should have a tutorial using this palette going up next week, thankyou for reading!

 

 

WARM PURPLE & GOLD MAKEUP TUTORIAL

Today, Ill be showing you how to recreate this look. I really wanted to create a look using purple eyeshadow, so this is what I came up with! Again, I'm sorry for not posting on Wednesday, I just have a lot to do for school. I think I'm going to have to schedule posts for the next 6-7 weeks because I'll be very busy. However, after that I should be back to posting two times a week, hopefully even more. Im planning on doing what's in my makeup bag, as I have been doing the same look basically everyday. Also, I want to do some more wearable eye looks!

After applying primer and filling in my brows I applied the second shade from the Clinique All About Shadow Quads in 'Going Steady' into the crease of my eye and the outer third of my lid.

I then applied the shade 'glow' from Makeup Revolutions Smokey Palette . I used my finger to do this, too get the best pigmentation out of the eyeshadow.

I then applied the darkest eyeshadow from the Clinique quad, on the outer third of my eye and brought the second shade in Clinique's quad under my eye. I also applied BECCA champagne pop in my inner corner, to open my eyes up.

Lastly, I cleaned up the edge of my eyeshadow, and applied eyeliner, mascara and individual lashes

ROSE GOLD LINER EYE MAKEUP TUTORIAL

I recently saw a picture on Anastaia Beverly Hills instagram account of a makeup look someone has created (you can see it here), I thought it was so pretty and had to recreate it. My recreation was nowhere near as good as her's but I think that was due to the rose gold foiled eyeshadow I used, I think the girl used Dirty Talk by Colour Pop, a crème gel colour pot. But in England you cannot buy Colour Pop so I could only use what I had.

 Firstly I applied the Urban Decay primer potion for my base.

I then applied Kiko's Infinity shadows in the shade 210, into the crease of my eye and the outer third of my eyelid.

I then applied my black liner, I used the Maybelline master precise.

Lastly I applied the rose gold eyeshadow just above the black liner. I found this difficult to do because the chunks of glitter in the eyeshadow were quite big and it was difficult to have a smooth line. I also applied mascara to my top and bottom lashes, I used the telescopic mascara by Loreal. I used eyelure's individual lashes to finish the look.

Thankyou for reading, It wasn't a very difficult tutorial but I thought it was a really pretty look that I wanted to recreate.

 

 

 

 

 

ROSE GOLD EYES | MAKEUP REVOLUTION ICONIC 3 PALETTE

Last week I did a comparison of the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette and the Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 Palette and today I created a look using that Makeup Revolution Palette. The look I created is quite subtle even though in person it definitely wasn't but I'm still getting used to my camera and I find it difficult to get the colours to actually show up but I hope you can get the general idea. As the Iconic 3 palette is so similar to the Naked 3 palette I will refer to the shades I use as their names in the Naked 3 palette as the shades in the Iconic 3 palette haven't been named.

-Firstly, I applied my Urban Decay Primer potion but you can use the primer of your choice, alternatively you could just use some concealer and set it with powder.  Im then applying the shade 'Limit' to set the primer in place.

-Then, I blended the shade 'Nooner' into the crease of my eye too help all the shadows blend better. I then added a little bit of an orange shade to my crease, unfourtunatley the Iconic 3 palette didn't have a matte orange so I used one from another palette ('New Rule' from Freedom Makeup)

-To darken the outer half of my eye I mixed both 'Darkside' and 'Moonheart'. Making sure it was very blended.

-I then added 'Dust' all over the lid but I wanted something more noticeable so I then went in with the Makeup Revolution Awseome Metals Eye Foil in the shade 'Rose Gold', this comes with a mixing medium but I find it's pigmented enough by itself.

-Lastly, I added the shade 'Strange' onto my brow bone and inner corner to make my eyes appear bigger.

-To finish the look I used my Yves Saint Laurent Eye Pencil in my waterline to make my eyelashes look thicker and the Rimmel Scandaleyes micro for a thin line along my lash line and used my Lancome Grandiose Mascara but you could use fake Eyelashes for a prettier look.

URBAN DECAY NAKED 3 DUPE!?

Urban Decay's naked 3 is almost identical to Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 palette. Both contain twelve shadows except one is £38.50, and the other is just £4.00. Both palettes contain both matte and shimmer, pink tone eye shadow's.

I know not everyone loves the look of pink tone shadows but I think they look really pretty especially for people with brown eyes. I think Urban Decay's Naked 3 palette was one of the first eyeshadow palettes solely pink based as before palettes tended to consist of Golds and Browns. I think Makeup Revolution's shadows are some of the best ones that you can find at the drugstore and hardly anyone knows about it. I find the shadows are very pigmented and can easily be built up to give the desired look. They are especially good when you wet the brush using some form of setting spray, I like the MAC 'Prep & Prime' Fix+. I think this palette is definitely worth the buy especially for the price you can't really go wrong. Just by looking at these swatches Its easy to see how good these eye shadows are. I have done a post using this palette which will go up next Sunday.

You can get Makeup Revolution products from their website which ships worldwide and if you are in the UK you can get it from selected Superdrug stores. Here are a list of stores stocking Makeup Revolution.
