Makeup revolution eyeliner review

Hey guys,

A while ago, whilst I was searching for different coloured lipsticks, I stumbled upon the makeup revolution website. It had a load of different products that I had never seen in any Superdrug stores. I saw this eyeliner and was pretty surprised that it was only £1.50. I originally thought it had to be not so good quality-wise as other, more high-end eyeliners but I was very pleasantly surprised! It was very easy to apply and the brush nib is a good size to create a cute little flick.
The best thing about it was that it was waterproof, and by waterproof I definitely mean it was about as waterproof as it could get. It might have been slightly too long lasting though as it was slightly hard to get off using my wipes and micellar water. I did like how it would stay put if I accidentally wiped my eyes or something though. It made me a bit more confident that I wouldn't end up with eyeliner on my chin by the end of the day!

I hope you don't mind that this post was slightly shorter, but I think short and sweet reviews are the easiest to read (and the easiest to write) and you get more of an accurate opinion. I also had to improvise a little on the photo because just as I wanted to take it, it started raining...

I hope you are all having a lovely week!

Love you all

What's in my holiday makeup bag?

Hey guys,

I hope you enjoyed my favourites post on Monday! This one is a holiday edition of 'what's in my makeup bag' (not that I've done one of those before anyway).

I don't tend to wear very much makeup on holiday, and what I do wear is very minimal. I've made the mistake that past few years of taking way too much, and then just never wearing it! This year, however, I have decided to just take the basics for my usual, everyday look and then a couple of extra bits for if I decide to add a lippy, or eyeliner etc.

The makeup bag I have decided to take is this purple and red-ish one from Toni and Guy, I actually got it free when I went to an apprenticeships fair with my school. It's the perfect size to hold everything I need, but isn't too big, and its not a totally awkward shape to try and pack. I will probably put it into a bigger bag with all my other toiletries, just so it's all together.

I decided to take my make-up revolution Euphoria palette because it has all the neutral and gold toned eyeshadows I wear on a daily basis, but it also has bronzer, blusher and highlighter, all in one place which is pretty handy! I love both of the palettes I have from make-up revolution, they're such great quality and all the colours are so lovely to use.

I didn't want to take any actual foundation, because I want to give my skin a bit of a break, but I am going to take a concealer and powder too just control any shine if I'm going out anywhere or to just cover over any major breakouts.

I also have the other 'main' pieces, like mascara, pencil and liquid eyeliner and lipbalm, and then I'm also taking a couple of lipsticks. I have 3 colours (a red, pink and darker red) and then a neutral one for more general wear (if I can be bothered to put any makeup on in the first place!). I also have 2 nail polishes, a neutral one and the green/turquoise I currently have on my toes, so that I can top it up if needed.

To make my makeup looks stay put for a little longer I'm going to take my makeup revolution setting spray and a No7 eye primer. If I go to the effort of putting makeup on for an evening, I want it to actually stay put and this setting spray is actually very good at doing just that!

I don't think you need to take very much makeup on holiday, it gives you a chance to give your skin a break and no one will massively care that you don't have 3 layers of mascara on on a particular day. (Or at least, I wouldn't).

I hope you are all having a lovely week so far!

Love you all
