March Favourites 2015

As I'm sure most people say, I can't believe how fast the year is going by. I've been trying a lot of new products this month, and also enjoying a few new fashion/home purchases!  

First up is the I Heart Makeup 'Goddess of Love' Highlighter. I picked this up on one of my manic Makeup Revolution orders, and I haven't used anything else since. You get so much product for a mere £4.99. This is apparently a dupe for the Too Faced version of this product, however I can't speak in terms of that as I haven't actually tried the Too Faced one. I can however talk about how incredible this highlighter is! The colour in particular is such a beauuuuutiful yellow golden shimmer. I think this looks beautiful on tan skin, giving a gorgeous sun-kissed glow. 

Okay, so the Loreal Infallible 24Hr Matte Foundation, and the Loreal Infallible Mattifying Base are without a doubt my favourite two products of the month. I hate getting sucked into 'the hype', but I decided to give this a go anyway. I'm doing a full review on these two products anyway, so I won't say too much, but holy moly, if you have oily skin, this is a God send. 

These babies are my fashion favourite of the month, and they're the black and white Reebok Classics. I picked these up when ASOS were doing they're 20% off for students as I'd been eyeing them up for ages. They're so comfortable, and go with literally every single outfit! 

Another beauty favourite is the Clinique 'high impact' curling mascara. I've actually had this for a little while as it was a sample I recieved when they were having a promotion. I rediscovered it when I was organising my make-up drawers and decided to give it a go! I'm not sure it's my favourite for my top lashes, but for bottom lashes it's incredible. It separates and lengthes them with a single coat and I'm obsessed!!

My final favourite of the month is of course some Primark homeware. I've been going a little mad recently on new bedding, cushions, candles.. you name it! Primark has been my port of call for these little bits, and my favourite of the lot is this super cute pineapple cushion. At only £3, it was hard to leave in the store! It serves as an excellent neck pillow, as well as being a cute, decorative piece. I've seen they sell a flamingo shaped pillow too, so that's next on my list!

I thought I'd include a little 'behind the scenes' shot.. basically my dog was insisting on ruining my pictures. Or making them look better? Your call! 

Hopefully this has helped you with any purchases, and be sure to look out for my Loreal Infallible foundation review!

Makeup Revolution Black Velvet Palette

I have a super exciting post today! I was very kindly sent this palette by Makeup Revolution, which is SO exciting as they're one of my favourite make-up brands! (You'll know that if you saw my February favourites post). 

Anyway, let's begin with the packaging. As the name would suggest, the outer packaging is coated in super soft black velvet, and has a shiny black heart in the centre. This palette is part of their 'I Heart Makeup' range, and I find those products really do excel in presentation. A little extra thought goes a long way!

Moving on to the shade range. As you can see, these are a fairly neutral, 'wearable' selection of eyeshadows, and certainly one you can transform from day to night. Whilst I personally steer clear of intense black shades, there is a variety of deep colours. My favourites being 'Sweet', and 'Wild'. There is three shimmer shadows, and thirteen matte shades to play around with, all of which are super pigmented. Although I know Makeup Revolution always pull through with their pigmentation!

As I stated before, this is a palette that's easily transferred from day to night, and it's also perfect for travel! It may not be the smallest of palettes to carry around, but it packs some serious essentials, a huge mirror being one! I don't know about you, but I always appreciate a good mirror in a palette, super handy for on the go touch-ups!

I swatched all of the shades for you, but these are so much prettier on the eye. Unfortunately, some of fleshier toned colours haven't shown up on my arm very well, but they're absolutely stunning! 

I've had this palette for almost a week now, and I've been wearing different shades most days, and they've lasted so well on my eyes. Morning to night, a whole lotta accidental eye-rubbing and general day to day life! Pretty impressive.

Overall, as I anticipated, I'm thoroughly impressed with this product, and for the mere price point of £7.99.. you can't go wrong! You can buy the Black Velvet palette here! They stock Makeup Revolution/I Heart Makeup in selected Superdrug stores too, so definitely keep your eye out! I've been raiding mine!

Have any of you tried our Makeup Revolution or I Heart Makeup? Will you be adding this palette to your collection?
