Makeup Revolution Beyond Flawless Palette Review!

I don't think I have mentioned this eye shadow palette before, but my parents bought me it for my birthday in August and I have loved it ever since then!! It is my first proper eye shadow palette that I chose myself; of which I'm very proud!!


The outer packaging is gold and metallic and really pretty, on the back you can see all the shades within the palette, which is helpful for when your browsing all the palettes from the brand. However, the packaging is made of cardboard, which makes it easy to rip or ruin, but if you take good care of it, then you should be fine.

Inside the palette, there is a rather large mirror which is extremely helpful for if you're applying other makeup as well or if you just want a portable mirror. There are 32 shades in this palette that are all fairly neutral, with some slightly metallic shades or pigmented shades. The price of the palette is £8.00, which is amazing for 32 beautiful shades!!

 However not all the shades are very pigmented, and they are more faint or light. So if you like really really pigmented eye shadow, then I wouldn't necessarily buy this specific palette but have a look at the other palettes from this brand.


I'm going to quickly categorize the shades!!

Matte:
Dove, Tawny, Sand Dune, Brunette, Nightfall and Blackest
Metallic:
Light Caramel, Chestnut, Bronze, Ground Brown, Autumn, Toasty, Spice, Sepia, Expresso, Warm Grey, Stone Grey
Sparkly (these shades aren't quite metallic but they are shimmery):
Flawless, Sandstone, Papaya, Zorba, Bare Pink, Pug, Immaculate, Wholemeal, Teddy, Mineral, Cookie Dough
Extremely Pigmented:
Cocoa, Bistre, Muddy


My personal favourite combinations of shades are...

1) Sand Dune, Zorba, Brunette and Flawless
2) Sandstone, Papaya and Dove
3) Wholemeal and Tawny
4) Immaculate, Cookie Dough

Overall, I think this is an amazing palette, that is really worth it's money!! This palette is very good for people who suit neutrals best but still want to spice up their eye makeup with some shimmery shades. I also think that the brand Makeup Revolution have created this individual palette in matte for the same price, which would make a great Christmas present!

Avon Makeup Setting Spray Review!!

I recently went to a wedding and was worried about my makeup all smudging or rubbing off, so my mum suggested I use a "makeup setting spray", and to be perfectly honest; I had never heard of such a product!!

I used the Avon Makeup Setting Spray which cost around £6.00, which is decent because the bottle is rather large (as seen below).

I was skeptical when first trying this but I applied the spray in the morning and it lasted until late that night, and I didn't have to spray more on my face or powder my face once!!

Although, I personally believe that this works best when you are wearing a lot of makeup rather than only wearing concealer for example. But it still lasts really long!!

I would definitely say that this is worth buying because it's so cheap (it will be on sale soon because of Christmas), and how big the bottle is!

This spray is a time saver because you don't have to reapply it or fuss over your makeup, for any of the day; I would 100% recommend buying this.

How to apply the spray


  1. Lightly shake the bottle before use
  2. Hold bottle 8-10 inches away from the face
  3. Close your eyes and spritz your face from 2 to 4 times
  4. If there are any wet patches, lightly dab at them to avoid dry patches
Make sure you spray it evenly otherwise, half of your makeup will stay in place and the other half won't!

My absence...

I just wanted to quickly apologize for my absence recently, as the last time I posted was a month ago!!

There are a couple of reasons for this, and I will just list them so I don't blab on for ages about it (I tend to do that a lot...)


  • I was going on holiday so I had to pack etc.
  • I am in Year 11, so I have been making decisions regarding Sixth Forms and College, which has been difficult for me as I don't like change, and I'm bad at making decisions
  • Once again because I'm in Year 11, I have a lot of school work do to
  • I have mock exams coming up, so I have been revising
  • I honestly have been stuck for ideas on what to post about

I am really sorry for being absent and missing out the deadlines on posting, I was hopefully this weekend going to film an Autumn Lookbook and upload it to my YouTube account ( m000ndust )
