Where Have I Been? What Will Come Next?

Hey lovelies,  here I am going to be answering some questions on where I have been and what is to come next for myself and this blog.

 

1. Why did you stop posting?

I stopped posting on here because I took a break from wearing makeup. In fact I stopped wearing makeup all together, which obviously defeats the purpose of my blog as it is entirely beauty based.

2. Why did you stop wearing makeup?

My skin! My skin had become a problem. I was wearing makeup to cover how bad my skin was underneath, that I actually made it worse! So I have spent some time working on clearing my skin and finding the right products for me.

 

3. What have you been up to?

Where do I start… I have been focusing on my career in education. I have now been promoted to team leader of pre-school which is a big step for me. I have conquered some fears e.g. flying in an aeroplane. My new found hobby is ice skating. Just living life to the fullest as they say.

 

4. What is to come next?

I am back to wearing makeup and it is still a big passion of mine. I want to bring the blog back to life again, but also bring some lifestyle into it too. I want to be able to take breaks from wearing makeup and still feel like I can post on my blog.

There will be lots of makeup tutorials coming and also posts about my life e.g. the ice skating, my career and where I am travelling to.

 

I hope this answers everything and I will see you again soon.

4 Eyeshadow Palettes for £12

This post isn’t the one I was going to post next. I just couldn’t contain myself after coming off of the Superdrug website so I jumped straight onto my blog to tell you about an amazing deal I managed to get. As you can probably tell by the title I managed to get my hands on 4 EYESHADOW PALETTES FOR £12! Superdrug have always been amazing for promotions and the one that caught my attention was that if you spend £12 on Makeup Revolution products, you get the Love Conquers All palette for free.

I was determined to get the most out of this promotion as I love their eyeshadow palettes. So I went onto the eyeshadow palette section and selected it to be sorted by price from lowest to highest. I managed to find 3 decent sized palettes all £4 each which made up the total and I got the 4th palette free.

These were the palettes I chose:

Makeup Revolution Love The Revolution Palette

 

Makeup Revolution Re-Loaded Palette Newtrals 2

 

Makeup Revolution Re-Loaded Palette Iconic Vitality

Absolute bargain! I am so pleased with what I have purchased.

 

 

New Year, New Palette 🌼

Hello everyone. I am back! I had some other exciting posts to post towards the end of the year, however just before Christmas I fell very unwell (including some complications which is why I have been away for so long) and was ordered on bed rest and lots of sleep so I didn’t get a chance to finish them. However it is the start of a brand new year (I know it’s a bit late into the month) and there is a lot of changes and new things coming to my blog. So keep your eyes peeled! 💄

Every year my sister gets me the yearly 144 shade, Makeup Revolution palette and this year was no different. I look forward to seeing the difference in each palettes and what adventurous shades I will have to work with on some new makeup looks for the year.

Lets start this review off with some similarities and differences between the 2017 and the 2018 palettes.

 

Similarities

1. There are a lot of similar brown/nude shades in both palettes which could have been filled with some more adventurous colours. Although this would be good for people that want to maybe have colours from both palettes but for me these palettes I don’t travel with so it would be nice to have a few more bright shades.
2.  A couple of the colours seem to be in the same place like they’ve just copied the design from the year before.

 

Differences

1. There are plenty more matte shades in the 2018 palette which is great for doing more matte smokey eyes etc.
2. There are a couple of different bright shades in their which I can create some different looks with.
3.  The pigment seems to be a lot better with most of the shades the 2018 palette
4. The casing feels a lot stronger this year which is great because sometimes the 2017 one makes noises like its going to crack if you put too much weight on it.

 

 

The picture above shows you some of the swatches from both the 2017 palette and the 2018 one. The swatches on the left are from the 2018 palette and the swatches on the right are their identical shades from the 2017 palette. You can see how much more pigmented the 2018 swatches which is just amazing if you love a popping eyeshadow look.

I got the palette for Christmas so I used it to get ready for the family meal in the afternoon. I was very unwell so I didn’t really do much with my eyes but I used a lovely red on my lids and outer corner to match with the top I was wearing. It wasn’t much but it completed the look and made me feel a lot better about myself that day.
