"showing out those party eyes "

"showing out those party eyes"

I've been wanting to test out makeup revolution for such a long time, but i couldn't find a superdrug store that stocked them. Untill i came home to london and the store in located 5 minutes from my house happened to sell them, so i treated my self to 2 of the gift boxes they had.

I am so happy with the items i received within the boxes and after almost a month of testing them out im extremely happy to say THIS BRAND IS INCREDIBLE. 



This review is all about the makeup revolution "showing out" eyeshadow pallet, on the back of the gift set this pallete came in it says "the exclusive eyeshadow pallete" so according to my box its a exclusive pallet.
The pallete comes in quite standard packaging which i prefer, if the packaging is too bold it takes your attention away from the actual products inside.
The packaging is a black plastic container, a see through lid and the writing "make up revolution" in gold.

yes the packaging is dirty I like to test products
before reviewing and I'm not a photo hoarder
Within the packaging you have a double sided eyeshadow brush with 2 pads on either side, the brush is also black and contains the writing makeup revolution in gold.
 

You have 12 eye shadow within the packaging, the colours are absolutely stunning and incredibly pigmented.

Most of the eyeshadows are crazily pigmented, but a few of them are very light and doesn't have much pigment within, so when applying you hace to use a bit more then normal to make it noticeable.
The colours which are NOT very pigmented are white, off white baby pink, baby pink, and metallic silver. Its only 4 out of the 12 that have low pigmentation.

this pallet is amazing I'm so glad I brought this pallet as my first, my favourite colour in this pallet is the gold its just so pretty and shiny it just looks incredible on with a pair of beautiful false lashes to compliment the colour of eye shadow.

I don't know if anyone else has tried this out but OMG you need to I've fallen in love with this pallet so would you.

technic eyelashes.

the technic eyelashes

I've always been a huge fan of fake eye lashes ever since I discovered they make my tiny little eyes look a lot bigger and defined, you see my eyes with out eyelashes are the tiniest things, the curse of the small faces.
 
usually I wear the eylure lashes as they do a pair of lashes called petite which fit absolutely perfect on people with smaller eyes, or the even the Nadine girls aloud ones as they make the lashes look longer on tiny eyes.
 
A few weeks ago I went into a store called savers (for those who don't know savers is a discount store located in England all around the country) and they had a pair of eyelashes in there that was absolutely amazing they fit so perfectly on my eyes, they wasn't itchy, they was just amazing, but silly me didn't save the packet, as I have a eyelash box to hold them, so when I left them at my parents house when I went to visit I couldn't remember what they was called to buy a new pair.
I went into a store called body care its very similar to savers, and hey had a few lashes in the store so I thought oh why not you cant really go wrong for £1.00 and £1.79.

*all of my photos are my own and all my eyelashes are on my own eyes with no makeup*
 
technic fancy lashes £1.00 //  Original starting price £2.99
 
 
the technic eyelashes come in a large white box and blue writing, these eyelashes are made with a black strip which I personally would apply black eyeliner on my eye before applying my lashes also I would apply my mascara before placing they eyelashes on my eyes, this just stops the eyelashes becoming clumpy and it makes them last a lot longer.
now im more use to having more real feeling eyelashes as I find that plastic ones irritate my eyes a great amount.
they look beautiful on, but for something called fancy lashes and they don't look very fancy they look a lot more natural to me.
 
 
technic natural lashes £1.79 // Original starting price £2.99

these eye lashes are called natural, they look absolutely stunning on as you can seen in the  image above.
these eyelashes have a clear band as you can see so you haven't got to apply eyeliner if you don't wish to but I would suggest applying mascara so you can blend the natural lashes with the fake ones.
in my personal thoughts I would have had these lashes as the fancy ones as they are very dramatic and large and just look more glamorous compared to the fancy lashes which look more natural.

Botanics by boots

Botanics by boots 

As everyone knows big brands such as boots, Superdrugs, Sainsbury's, Tesco etc. All have something called in house branding, this is were the company create their own formula of something and sell it cheaper. etc. Tescos finest tea bags  and Superdrug have B.beauty which is a own brand makeup range which is amazing I must say you can see my B.beauty gel liner review here.

Recently I needed a make up remover and unfortunately boots store didn't have the one i normal use which is the gairner makeup remover shake to wake, so I decided I'd try out a new one and see it it turned out, the first isle I came to in the boots store was one which had there own brand products on, and I was pulled in due to the beautiful colourful packaging.


I brought the eye soothing make-up remover after about a bout 20 minutes of deciding what I wanted to try as there is loads of different things to choose from but you need to find the right skin care products for your skin type and I have chosen the pink range.

On the botanic bottle and the boots website there is a brief description on what the product does, this is always a plus as you need to know what the product is formulated of so you can choose the best type for you're skin. 

" The clear oil phase effectively sweeps away impurities and make up, including waterproof formulations"
 

Like any product there are always pros and cons and you can't really tell what they are from reading a post you need to test for your self. So here are my pros and cons (not a lot of cons)  

Pros:
Gives a beautiful soothing and soft finish.
removes all make up
Can be used all over face
packaging is a beautiful colour and size
price is great 1.99 (sale) 2.99 normal price
a range of items to work along side with.

Cons:
Leaves face feeling too oily
comes out of the bottle too fast

Key tip with this product only apply a small amount as there isn't a pump it just slides right out the bottle and makes the pad very wet and greasy this cause the make up to spread around your face instead of being removed.
