Makeup Revolution The One Blush Sticks

Makeup Revolution have been so generous to bloggers, including me, recently! I have been almost overwhelmed by the new releases and the quality of the new products! I was sent the full range of blush sticks, there are eight in total - four of which are matte and the others are shiny/slightly glossy. 

I have all eight of the *Makeup Revolution The One Blush Sticks (£5 each). I love the packaging, it looks so sleek and professional as well as durable and practical. The ply problem I have with the packaging is that the shade name isn't on the tube, it is only on the cardboard packaging! 

There are four matte shades and four glossier shades, all of which can be used on either the cheeks or lips. I used the 'matte malibu' shade in a previous post - my five product face (here). I thought I would like the matte blush sticks more but I have definitely been using the glossier sticks more. Here are the swatches and my thoughts.

I find the matte shades are more pigmented than the others, they are also a little bit cakey on the lips whereas the non-matte shades are less so. They all apply smoothly, they are creamy to touch and they can be worn sheer or more vibrant on the lips or cheeks. I would use them more on the cheeks than lips but it is a great multi-purpose product, in my opinion. 

My favourites shades have to be 'matte malibu', 'rush and 'matte rush' all of which would be gorgeous for the autumn/winter months as they are quite warm, natural shades. My least favourite is the 'matte dream' shade which looks too milky on my skin and I find that it washes me out. 

Overall, I am very impressed with the Makeup Revolution The One Blush Stick, a few bloggers have compared them to the Nars Multiples! I think they are fantastic, especially for the price and I think they will last for a long time.

Makeup Revolution All Day + Night Liners

A few weeks ago I was kindly sent some items from the brand Makeup Revolution, which is a brand many of you will have read about as it is taking over blogs and the beauty world right now! I have some new products from Makeup Revolution to show you over the next two weeks, the first post is all about their new smudge proof, long wear eyeliners!

I have all six of the new *Makeup Revolution All Day & Night Eyeliners (£1.99 each) which come in a good range of shades. They are as follows (top to bottom): Channelling My Inner (rich bronze brown), The Last Laugh (deep metallic gold), Dangerous Games (violet based gunmetal), Lustful Ways (Vibrant green), Stars Come Out (deep black with silver shimmer) and finally One Sin Too Many? (intense matte black). 

The eyeliner packaging is great although they are not twist up pencils as far as I can see so you will have to sharpen them. The formula is intense, very pigmented and surprisingly smooth considering that all but one of the shades contains shimmer. They stay on the skin all day and all night, they are not as pigmented or as long wearing on the waterline though but for the price I am not expecting miracles! You can smudge them but when they set they do not move at all which is fantastic! I have been using the shade 'channeling my inner' and 'the last laugh' often for everyday looks but I have been using the darker shades more for my upcoming halloween looks - I used the matte black in my upcoming Lichtenstein inspired look (sneak peek of the look on my instagram and twitter). I wish there were more mattes in the range and a skin tone shade too. 

Overall, I am very happy with the eyeliners! They are very pigmented, smooth even with shimmer in them and the longevity is fantastic. I would definitely recommend them, especially as they are so affordable as all their products are - quality without a steep price tag. Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5.
