New Revolution Re-Loaded Palettes

-



Revolution Makeup have been releasing loads of new products recently – you might have seen my recent post about their pressed glitter palettes – and they’ve just dropped four new Re-Loaded palettes. I loved the original Re-Loaded range, so I was really excited when I heard about these, and when I saw the palettes I had to get them! These palettes are only £4 each which is such a bargain for fifteen good sized pans.

Here’s a closer look them.

Visionary



On first impressions this was my favourite of the four palettes; the colours are just so pretty and it’s giving off similar vibes to the upcoming Anastasia Beverly Hills’ Norvina palette. It’s a mix of mattes and shimmers, made up of nudes and browns with a few pops of pink and purple, and the pops look gorgeous in the palette. When I first swatched the shadows they didn’t show up that strongly, so I was a little worried about the pigment, but once I put the eyeshadows on my eyes on top of primer, the colours showed up really well. This palette could be used for everyday makeup looks as well as some really nice bright and shimmery looks.

Newtrals 3



I really liked Newtrals 2 and the third version is no different. This palette has a lot of deep matte browns, burgundies and reds with some shimmery gold and deep pink pans. It also has a black pan. I was really impressed with the pigment when I swatched the shades and the colour on my eyes was even better. I can definitely see myself going to this palette for night time looks.

Basic Mattes



This palette does exactly what its name says; it’s made up of entirely mattes shades, a mix of nudes, browns and a black. When I swatched the palette the darker shades showed up well, but the lighter shades didn’t seem to have that much pigment. Again, when I put the shadows on my eyes it was a different story and I really liked them. I think this will definitely become my everyday palette for really toned down and neutral looks.

Velvet Rose



I was really drawn to this palette when I first saw it, I think it’s really pretty. It has matte nudes, shimmery golds and a mix of matte and shimmery browns. The pigment on the swatches was somewhere in the middle of the other palettes. The only issue I had on they eyes was with the second pan, which seems to be more of a pressed glitter rather than a shimmer shadow. It didn’t seem to want to stick to my primer. I tried the Revolution Glitter Glue primer that I purchased with the pressed glitter palettes and it seemed to do the trick.

Overall, I’m really impressed with the new Re-Loaded range. Yes, I’m sure I could get a lot more pigment from some more high-end palettes, but at £4 each, you can’t really go wrong with these.

The Ordinary Skincare for Cystic Acne

-

Hi everyone, This is an in-depth and comprehensive review into a selection of products from The Ordinary that I purchased to try and combat cystic acne. This post is in no way sponsored or funded by The Ordinary and this is an impartial view based solely on my experience. I have always suffered with my skin. I first got acne as a young teenager, mostly appearing as lots of bumps and spots on my forehead, then later on my T-zone, as well as around my mouth and chin, though never on my cheeks. As I grew older my acne got much better and while I always had spots, for the most part it was limited to just a few at a time. I was always lucky enough to not have any scarring, either. At the beginning of this year my skin became a lot more oily than usual. I started breaking out quite badly and the whole lower half of my face was beginning to become covered in spots. This included my chin and jawline, something I was not used to. These weren’t the type of spots I usuall

I love making this dish because it’s quick and easy, inexpensive to make (I use mostly supermarket own brand ingredients), healthy, and it’s even vegan!
