Makeup Revolution London Review

Hi beauts.

 

Since I got such a positive response on my last review, I thought I would do another. For my birthday, one of my best friends decided to buy me some makeup. I already had one of the pallets from Makeup Revolution London so she knew I liked them, so, she decided to buy another and the contour pallet.

 

 

The packaging, which I like, is very simplistic, much like that of a makeup artist's. The contour compact comes with a pleasantly sized mirror, however, the eye shadow doesn't. That is one of the only downsides to the product. If it came with a large mirror, it would be perfect for on the go makeup application or travelling. The eye shadow actually came with a full length sponge applicator but I usually tend to throw them away since I use brushes instead.

 

 For size, they are pretty decent sized pans. The eye shadow pans aren't named, however, they last for along time.

The pigmentation of the eye shadows is quite concentrated, although, I am quite disappointed about there only being three matte shades. Overall, the eye shadows from this pallet are very beautiful!

Even though it's a struggle to see the regular powder, they are pretty good quality. I used the contour and powder to do a full baking and contour and it's safe to say they worked magnificently!

I hope you enjoyed this review and let me know if there is any more products you would like testing.

Until next time...

 



Late Winters Sunset



 

Hi beauts.

 

A few days ago, I went on a short six mile bike ride and, fortunately, it was prime sunset time. So, obviously, I decided to take a few snaps. Here are how they turned out.

 

 

At this point, I was literally about 10 minutes in. The countryside is definitely one of my happy places, the only thing that is annoying in this photograph is the pylons in the background!

 

 

After we had clambered up this muddy path, the most beautiful scene was waiting. My camera definitely captured the moment seamlessly!

 

 

 We rode along a little further and the photos just kept getting better! I think the bokeh in this is incredible.

 

 

By this point, my dad, who went with me, was so annoyed at me because about every two metres, I was stopping to take a photo. Thus, there isn't any more photos.

 

Anyways, I do hope you like this post, I find photos like this quite interesting, if I do say so myself. Do you?

 

Until next time...

 

 

 

Viktor & Rolf | FlowerBomb | Review

 

 

Hi beauts.

 

Today I thought that I would do something a little different and review a perfume. Now, I'm not the best at describing perfumes so hopefully this is OK.

 

Viktor and Rolf describe FlowerBomb as

"A floral explosion, a profusion of flowers that makes everything more positive. Viktor & Rolf designed a bottle cut like a multi-faceted diamond for their fragrance. Full-bodied and opulent, the Eau de Parfum explodes in a bouquet of sensations with its addictive floral notes which leave their trail, like a whirlwind that is distinctly couture. A millefleurs around the freesia, Centifolia rose, osmanthus and Sambac jasmine, supported by a background of patchouli."

 

However, I haven't a clue what the majority of that means. This has been my favourite perfume since the first day I smelt it in Debenhams in York. I only received my first bottle of it at Christmas and I was not expecting it. At first, I was tossing the box around wondering what it was, even though it was the only present I had been told to open last. Eventually, I had came to the conclusion that it was a watch as I had watched everyone else open one. Obviously, I was wrong.

Even though it is entirely based on flowers, I can also pick up a buttery/woody scent. I feel like I can only say good about this perfume! Its mature and sophisticated but will not make you smell like an old woman, it's floral and fun but will not wake you seem like a five year old. Perfection.

 

 

The only down side to this perfume is it is a little bit on the pricey side. With the 30ml coming to £50, this is what I got, 50ml at £69, 100ml at £96 and 150ml at £120, it certainly isn't the most expensive perfume ever but it isn't the cheapest either.

 

Overall, I can definitely say that this is a completely divine perfume and, if you can, you should go and sniff it at your local Debenhams/Boots or where ever sells it!

 

If you would like any more reviews like this, or if this one was good enough, please do comment. Am I doing OK at this whole blogging thing?

 

Until next time...
