I definitely am not any sort of make up geek, and have learnt a lot of what I know about applying make up from watching my friend Hannah (a professional make up artist) apply hers when we get ready to go out. However I popped into Boots and on the make up counters it was 3 for 2, so I decided to treat myself by raiding the Revlon counter. I don't normally buy from Revlon, however after purchasing the bronzer and lip crayon previously I was really impressed so headed straight back. Hopefully I don't sound too stupid trying to talk about a subject I know very little about!!
Mattebalm, Sultry
I already have the lacquer lip crayon in colour Vivacious and I loved it so much I thought I would grow my collection and get another! I decided on the matte collection because matte lip finishes are my absolute fave right now! I always like my lips feeling moisturised and I was surprised that even though they have the matte finish they still keep your lips from feeling so soft, unlike some of the other matte finishing lip products I own. (Wow, saying matte enough!!) The creamy texture makes it easy to apply and you get precise precision due to the shape of the tip and crayon like shape of the packaging. I went for a more browny pink this time as I usually go for plain/bright pink and fancied something a little bit different and I am glad I make this choice! I think it's perfect colour to match any outfit choice and I highly recommend this!
Colourstay lipliner
I love Kylie Jenner and I love her full lipped look, so thought I would try recreate it! Pink is usually my go to lip colour so invested in a pink lipliner....I love the colour of this and matches my YSL lipstick perfectly which is my usual day to day colour. I found this really easy to apply as it has a smooth finish, and I really liked the packaging as you don't need a sharper to use it. I really like the idea of using lip liner however I don't think it is really suits me - or I just need a little bit more practice!
Creme Blush
Normally I am a one blush only kind of girl, but as it is 3 for 2 I thought it would be rude not too build my make up collection and cheat on my Chanel powder blush and try something new! I'm glad I did! This creme blush is such a beautiful colour and is so easy to apply and blend using your fingers or a brush. I also like the fact that it isn't too heavy. I recommend this if you want a blush that you can apply quickly and is perfect for anyone doing make up on the go.
Bronze Glow
I didn't buy this in this haul, but I love it so only thought it right to blog about it! I use this bronzer highlighting palette every time I apply make up - so pretty much everyday, and great for if I want to dress my face up or down. The white section of the palette is also great to use just on its own to add highlight on my cheekbones and is easy to blend in using my fingers. I usually apply using every colour and a small brush to add a little bit of shape to my face and a nice all over natural glow.
Build your own eyeshadow
I felt a little bit bored with only using browns and nudes eyeshadows so I thought I would go a bit crazy and add in dark purple and colbolt- wild I know! I also go a new sand colour as it was 3 for 2 and couldn't quite leave my comfort zone! I was a little bit disappointed in the pigmentation of these eyeshadows and didn't come out as bright as I thought they may do. The sand colour is a lovely powdery base colour for your eyelids and is great to apply under eyeliner to act as a block from the liquid foundation, and the darker colours do look lovely blended round liquid eyeliner to create a more smokey look, For £2.99 each they are darn cheap so can't really resist and for the price they are you can't really go wrong.
