Matte eyeshadows are a staple item in any make up kit, however most palettes tend to have very few or none at all! This is where matte palettes can really come into their own, much like this one by Make Up Revolution.
I have tried a few products by Make Up Revolution before, including eyeshadows & they have been a little hit or miss.
So this palette is their Flawless Matte ultra eyeshadow palette. The palette consists of a mixture of cool & warm tone matte eyeshadows. The first thing I will have to credit them on is the mirror in here, it's great! A decent size & good quality.
So although that is nice, what about the eyeshadows themselves.
I obviously haven't tried every single eyeshadow in here, but having tried quite a few I can say they are again very hit or miss. The more I try drugstore eyeshadow palettes the more I think that you really do get what you pay for with eyeshadows!
There is also no correlation on which shades are good or bad, it's literally a lucky dip.
I find this a real shame as this palette had the potential to be great, but unless your really are on a budget & aren't too fussed about the quality, then I wouldn't recommend this palette. I would say, to get the use & moneys worth I'd save up for a better palette.
Summer is well & truly on it's way so it's time to crack out the cocktails!
When it comes to refreshing, nothing out does a mojito.
This mojito was made using Funkin Cocktails Mojito 3 step Mixer, however you'd never know.
It tastes exactly like any Mojito I've had out.
If you want to add those extra touches (maybe if you're throwing a party) just add in a few mint leaves & a slice of lime on the side. These mixers are perfect for parties, as they taste & look the real deal. The fact that it's actually a mixer, you just add alcohol to, can be your little secret ;)
So check out Funkin Cocktails to get your hands on the lazy girls summer drink staple!
Simply add alcohol, get that tan on & relax with some girlfriends.
PS. You can make this as weak or strong as you like. Have fun & drink responsibly lovelies.
Can we take a moment to talk about my new favourite statement item.
This is a faux fur coat!
I have been after a faux fur coat for years now, but being short can make it very tricky as a lot of them are just too long. Which although is very cosy, makes for a Cousin It sort of look (not cool).
This one I actually got for my birthday last fall & it's by Missguided.
This coat comes in at £65, which in my opinion is very reasonable! So my advise to you would have to be shop around, don't just look at shops like Topshop & River Island. There are some great & unique styles available on cheaper online shops.
Also, as we're talking faux fur I really don't see why you should be spending hundreds of pounds on this style of coat. As I don't really want mine to look like real fur.
These are great piece to have in your wardrobe for many reasons. Firstly they are warm, so in the bitter winter months they're an easy way to look chic whilst keeping warm! Another thing is that they can dress up ANY outfit, very much like the outfit I'm wearing here. It really is a day to night piece!
Also if you're not a fan or just dislike the layered look in winter, these completely remove the need for it.
So overall in my opinion as great investment piece, that doesn't necessarily have to break the bank!
This is Tommy Hilfiger Loud (hers). I picked this fragrance up a while ago and it was an absolute bargain at £8 for 40ml!
Primarily I got this fragrance just because it was such a great offer, however over the last year it has become my staple fragrance.
It's an eau de toilette, so it's not as potent as a perfume. However I still feel like this fragrance lasts for hours! Better than some of my proper perfumes!
The notes include rose & patchouli. When I say rose, I don't mean old lady rose scent if you know what I mean.
I find it to be quite a light day to night fragrance. It's not too heavy for the daytime but it also isn't so light and casual that it's not enough for the evening. I like to wear this fragrance when I'm working as I feel it's ideal for this sort of situation. It isn't too offensive but it still says I've made an effort with my fragrance.
I feel like this is quite an underrated fragrance!
I swear it reminds me of a Gucci fragrance too, so it could be a bit of a dupe.
You can pick it up at Debenhams for £27.50.
So if you're looking for a nice daytime fragrance I'd definitely recommend it!
