LA Girl Flat Velvet Matte Lipsticks Reviewed

Hey beaut's!

I've tried a couple of LA Girl lip products in the past and loved them so when I heard that they had launched a collection of Flat Velvet Matte Lipsticks not too long ago I couldn't wait to try them out and give them a whirl!

The LA Girl Flat Velvet Matte Lipsticks* come in a whopping 26 shades so theres certainly a shade to suit everyone in this collection, but of course I had to go for three pinky tones, I 
went for Snuggle - a brown/nude with strong dusky pink tones running through it, Sweet Revenge - a bright barbie pink and lastly my favourite Hush - a gorgeous, wearable mid tone dusky pink. The formula of these lipsticks is lovely and I think the name of these describes them very well because they do have a flat, matte finish, but the texture is very velvety, smooth and creamy, making them comfortable on the lips and non-drying. Trust me beaut's if you love the look of matte lips but hate that dry feeling like I do then these LA Girl Flat Velvet Matte Lipsticks will be for you, they also contain shea butter which I cant quite believe seeing as they are matte lipsticks!

The lasting power of these lipsticks is OK but not as long lasting as other matte lipsticks I own, I get a good few hours wear out of them but then I need to reapply, I also find they transfer so after eating/drinking the lipstick needs to be reapplied, I think this is down to the formula being quite creamy.

Overall I do really like these LA Girl Flat Velvet Matte Lipsticks and would highly recommend them to anyone who loves that velvety soft matte finish without the awful dryness! I think the shade range is amazing, they are super affordable, soooo pigmented and even though they might not be the longest lasting matte lippies in the world I prefer something more creamy that I can reapply anyway so that really doesn't bother me at all.

You can find all 26 shades of the LA Girl Flat Velvet Matte Lipsticks on the Beauty Chamber  website for £4.99 each HERE.

NEW! Makeup Revolution All About Pink Blush Palette ♥

Hey beaut's!

Our lovely friends over at Makeup Revolution have another new release for us all... Yup they are the Kings and Queens of new launches aren't they he he. This time around Makeup Revolution have launched another blush palette called 'All About Pink', this follows the huge success of the Sugar & Spice, Hot Spice and newly launched Golden Sugar Blush Palettes, which I have to just add are all absolutely stunning palettes indeed. 

The Makeup Revolution 'All About Pink' Palette* (£6.00) comes packaged in the usual sleek, black casing with a lovely large compact mirror inside the pull up lid which is always appreciated. The palette itself contains 8 large panned blushes with a mixture of shimmer and matte finishes perfect for creating that pinky flush, there's also a 2 shades within the palette that I think would work beautifully as highlighting powders too.

The shade range in the 'All About Pink' Palette is definitely for the girlie girls out there who are lovers of all things pink, at first glance the shades made me think of the movie Mean Girls, the 'On Wednesday We Wear Pink' quote just came to mind he he, so now I personally call this palette my Mean Girls palette ha ha. Honestly though, there's such a lovely selection of different toned pinks to choose from that would work well for different occasions, looks and even nights out too, I just love the versatility!

I've found that each pan of blush within the palette has great pigmentation and be warned a little goes a very long way with these, they also feel extremely soft to swatch making the blushes a dream to work with and they blend out beautifully. As for lasting power... their great! I've found after a good 6-8 hours I could use a little top up which I think is absolutely fine considering how affordable the palette is, I also love the fact that when the blushes do start to fade they fade evenly and don't go patchy or blotchy at all because I hate that.

Overall its another Makeup Revolution success! These Blush palettes are just great and really allow you to build your makeup collection up without having lots of single compacts laying around, they're also great for travelling as they allow you lots of choice in one single compact. All in all the 'All About Pink' palette is an absolute beaut and as always it's an amazing bargain to at just £6.00... Yup you did read that correctly, £6.00 for 8 pans of blush, that's just 75p each, you really cant get any better than that can you. 

What's been your favourite Makeup Revolution new release recently beaut's?? I'd love to know.

Makeup Revolution Ultra Blush & Contour Palette in Sugar and Spice ♥

 Hey beaut's!

You may remember that a few weeks ago on the 13th June Makeup Revolution released some gorgeous new makeup, I do have a blog post on some of the new releases that you can have a cheeky look at HERE if you like beaut's. It's fair to say that the new releases have been pretty impressive and are certainly well loved by myself, so today I thought I'd share my full thoughts on the Ultra Blush & Contour Palette in Sugar and Spice*.

Makeup Revolution have released two Ultra Blush & Contour Palettes for us to feast our eyes on, Sugar and Spice (pictured above) which is more of a pinky toned palette and Hot Spice which is alot warmer. Like I said before the Blush & Contour Palette that I have is in Sugar and Spice and comes packaged in sleek black casing with a lovely large mirror inside the pull up lid. The palette itself contains 8 large panned blushes with a mixture of shimmer and matte finishes, there's also a merged baked blusher and a merged baked highlighting powder too. The shade range in the Ultra Blush & Contour Palette is great if your a lover of all things pink as there's such a selection of differant toned pinks to choose from, however the first two shades on the top row do lean more towards warmer, bronze/peachy tones which would be ideal to warm up your complexion all year round. The merged highlighter within the palette is a bright silver-lilac shade which contains very fine flecks of silver shimmer, at first I thought it would be a very un-natural highlighting shade but actually when blended it looks super pretty and gives off a nice sheen. The merged blush has a raspberry tone too it with a metallic finish, I also noticed in certain lights that it contains minute glitters too but these aren't hugely noticeable and wont have you looking like a disco ball ha ha.

 I've found that each pan of blush within the palette has great pigmentation so be warned a little goes a very long way with these, they also feel extremely soft to swatch making the blushes a dream to work with and blend out beautifuly. As for lasting power... their great! I've found after a good 6-8 hours I could use a little top up which I think is absolutely fine considering how affordable the palette is, I also love the fact that when the blushes do start to fade they fade evenly and don't go patchy or blotchy at all because I hate that.

Yet again I'm highly impressed by Makeup Revolution, is there anything they cant do he he! 

I mean it's such a stunning palette and I honestly havent put it away since I got it. If I had to be picky I would say that the two warmer shades within the palette aren't actually warm enough for me to contour with but that aside if you have a paler complexion those shades would probably work well as contour shades. Overall the palette is an absolute beaut and is also a pretty amazing bargain at just £6.00... Yup you did read that correctly, £6.00 for 8 pans of blush, that's just 75p each, you really cant get any better than that can you. 

What do you think of the Blush & Contour Palettes beaut's?? I'd love to know.
