There's a reason that I always tell myself not to sign up to
makeup related sites; I can never resist the urge to shop! (Shout out to my
best friend/makeup buddy who speed dials my number the instant an offer goes on
and does damage to my bank account). Recently I ordered a few bits from the
brand Makeup Revolution. It took them about a week to dispatch my order and
everything was packaged neatly in bubble wrap.
This is a drugstore brand that specialises in making dupes
for high end products. They are very affordable and can be found exclusively in
Superdrug. They usually have offers online, when I placed my order they were
giving away a free Makeup Geek Eyeshadow Palette with every order over £10, so definitely
follow them on Instagram and sign up to their newsletter to stay updated!

| Iconic 2 Palette, £4 |
 |
| Iconic 3 Palette, £4 |
The first thing I added to my basket were the Iconic 2 and
Iconic 3 palettes, both of which I had heard great reviews about. These are
meant to be dupes for the Urban Decay Naked 2 and 3 palettes. They also have
the Iconic 1 palette which is the dupe for the Naked 1 palette which in the end
I decided not to get.
For a drugstore brand, they are quite pigmented and the
colours blend well. From the photos and reviews I have seen, the colours are
very close to the original Naked palettes so I'm really happy with them. I find
myself reaching for the Iconic 3 palette more as I love using golds, pinks and
purples on my eyelids.

| Makeup Geek Palette, £7.99 |
This is the Makeup Geek eyeshadow palette which is normally
£7.99 but was free with my order. I must say - I'm in love with it! There are
36 shades all together and the colours are mostly shimmery with a few matte
shades - but all are very pigmented and creamy. It also has a mirror which is a
plus. A pop of colour added to my
collection!
 |
| Powder Blush in Sugar, £1 |
The next thing I got was this blusher in the colour Sugar.
It's one of those colours that suits many skin tones and is suitable for everyday
wear. Again, it's highly pigmented - however it is a little chalky,
especially if too much is worn but for
£1 I'm not complaining!
 |
| Amazing Lipstick in Treat, £1 |
The last thing I got online was the Amazing Lipstick in the
colour Treat. For me this is a colour that's "my lips but better" and is also very moisturising so keeps the
lips hydrated. It's slightly sheer so is buildable and the colour will go with
many looks. It also has a small pot at the end of the lid with extra product.
 |
| Vivid Baked Highlighter in Golden Lights, £3 |
After hearing many good reviews about it, I picked up the
Vivid Baked Highlighter in Golden Lights a couple of days later in store. Personally I
love using golden highlighters as it matches my yellow undertoned skin so this
is perfect. The tiniest amount is needed to bring together any look and it blends
in like a dream!
I will definitely be trying out more things from this brand,
and definitely recommend checking their products out - they have some high
quality dupes for high end products and for a fraction of the price!
Hope you've enjoyed!
