Hi guys, happy Thursday! Time for another post and today let's talk about lipsticks which are my favorite things in the whole world. The sky is just much more blue if I wear lipstick. Haha!
To be honest I have never heard of Makeup Revolution before until they followed me like a couple of weeks ago on Twitter. It's a new makeup brand and launched in Superdrug March this year. I looked the website and I thought wow those are some affordable makeup and I don't really own a lot drug store makeup so I thought you know what let's order some of the lipsticks and see how they are since I am obsessed with lipsticks. They are only £1 each. That's right £1. I mean you can't beat the price. By the way the shipping is super fast to Italy. 3 days! Wow!
I ordered 5 lipsticks and here's what the packaging look like. Simple and I like the colour indicator on the caps so it's easier for me to grab the one I want.
I think I have got some interesting shades here to show you. I got a nude pink, a coral, a fuchsia, a purple and a wine shade.
Now I like all the colours I chose and the vanilla scent but I'm only gonna keep the fuchsia and the wine shades. Why? I like the formula. The other 3 are patchy, they just don't feel as good on the lip. They are all creamy in texture, pigmented with a subtle shine which I like.
Let's talk about the pinky nude shade first which is called Enchant. It's a very pretty shade but I personally prefer peachy pink nude a lot more. This one is just too "pink" for my skintone but it's a lovely colour by all means and if you like pinky nude then this is for you. I am not too keen on the formula of this one to be honest. It doesn't look even on my lip. So this is a miss for me.
Next it's this pinky coral shade called Flashing. I love the colour but again the formula just doesn't agree with my lip and the bullet broke which is a disappointment but it's £1 so what do you want Elaine?! Beautiful colour though!
Ok now this gorgeous fuchsia called Crime I do like. It's very smooth and looks nice and even on my lips. It's not patchy at all and nice colour pay off. I wore it yesterday with my Sephora Cream Lip Stain in 06 Forever Fuchsia underneath as a base then this on top, it lasted me the whole day. It's pretty good for a drug store lipstick and it's only a pound. Can't go wrong with it.
Since I am obsessed with my Sephora Rouge Shine in Heartbreaker, the purple lipstick I had shown on Instagram if you follow me there which you should because I post everyday with some amazing makeup and skincare items. I thought I'd buy this purple lipstick called Depraved as a cheaper alternative but they are totally different both in texture and colour. This lipstick is patchy but very pigmented which normally is a good thing but it's just too purple for my like. Nothing like the Sephora one which is a nice sheer purply pink. I mean where on earth I'm gonna wear it. If you dare you would maybe but I don't think I can pull it off. It might look a bit blue in this picture but it's really really a straight up purple. Another miss for me!
Lastly it's this gorgeous red wine shade which has a berry pink undertone to it. It's hard to describe the colour but trust me it's very pretty. It's called Rebel with Cause. Cool name! Also the texture is rather lovely. Nice and smooth with a subtle shine and moisturizing as well. Impressed with this one and only cost a quid. It's pretty comparable to my Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Venom which is my all time fav. Not quite there yet but good enough. Well done Makeup Revolution.
All in all they are pretty good drug store lipsticks for the price. I do recommend check out the website because there are a lot more colours to choose from and I'm not just talking about lipsticks. Their baked blushers are also one pound each and I heard they are pretty amazing. Really affordable makeup brand. If you are looking for good colours and affordable price makeup then Makeup Revolution is the way to go.
That's it guys let me know if you have tried any of the Makeup Revolution products and how you think of them. As always please follow me on Twitter, Instagram and Bloglovin' for daily updates. Love ya all. Bye! Muahh!
