I love it when the postman arrives in the afternoon! (He's probably sick and tired of carrying so many packages to my house by now :P)
3 for 2 at Superdrug meant that I could give Makeup Revolution another go - especially their lip products! I also wanted to try the L'oreal caresse wet shine stains, as I've heard good things about them.
I'm still waiting on a few more things, but here's what I've got so far:
Makeup Revolution lipstick swatches
Lipsticks:
L-R: Mystify, Enchant, Dusky, Bliss, Crime
Makeup Revolution and L'oreal gloss/ blush swatches
Lipgloss: L-R Touch, Baby Try, Hush Hush
Lip stains: Lolita, Eve, Princess
Baked Blush: Bang Bang you're dead
NB: it's so hot in the UK right now, that the lipsticks almost broke off when I was swatching them ><
Firstly, I did a lot of research and found girls with similar skintones to me and found some Make-up Rev. lipsticks to try - purple being a new shade for me - and they make them look lovely. The colours I chose had to be suitable for summer too, but I always find certain shades of lighter orange and pink don't suit my face or lip shape- weird :S These colours are nice though and could be used with a lot of different outfits.
The lipglosses from Make-up Revolution look pretty standard. Not too sticky and decent enough pigmentation. However, the L'oreal shine stains are amazing! They smell SO sweet, and when you apply them they go on as a sheer colour, long-lasting and a very subtle shine. Cute gold packaging too. I would say that the sensation of applying that type of glossy stain is new to me - feels really wet when applied but dries instantly (I guess it's to do with the oil-water content).
More to come so keep posted!
