Makeup Revolution Amazing Lipstick Review & Swatches ♥

Hey beaut's!

I think it fair to say ever since Makeup Revolution launched in March this year they're amazing quality, revolutionary priced makeup has taken the blogosphere by storm and recently I jumped on the bandwagon and treated myself to a few bit's, I have a haul post on all the pretties are bought HERE! So today I thought I'd share with you my thoughts on the 4 gorgeous lippies I ended buying.

Firstly can I just say what an amazing shade range Makeup Revolution have, theres 30 shades to choose from ranging from nudes to brights to darker vampy shades, with finishes such as matte, creamy and satin so theres certainly something to suit everyone, and whats best is that they are all just 1 teeny, tiny little pound, BARGAIN ALERT!

As I said before I picked up 4 of the Amazing Lipsticks, which was extremely hard as I was tempted to buy them all but I was good a restrained myself slightly he he. I'd heard so many good things about the Vamp Collection and in particular Rebel With A Cause because of it's likeness to MAC's Rebel so that went straight into my basket, next I chose Fusion which is basically a matte version of Rebel With A Cause, I have no idea why mine turned up with it's point cut off but for £1.00 I cant complain really he he. My next lipstick purchase was another from the Vamp Collection aptly called 100% Vamp, this shade really reminds me of the Lorde MAC Lipstick that's coming  out, it has a very deep, purple/plum tone to it so is definitely great to create Lordes signature vampy lip, and lastly I decided to pick up a coral toned lippie for the summer months so I went with Chic, as much as I think the shade of Chic is absolutely stunning , it contains loads glitters and shimmers which I'm not to keen on but hey, I'll make it work! 

So what are my first impressions of the 4 lipsticks I bought?? Well each lipstick has great pigmentation and have the ability to be worn more shear or you can build them up to an intense pop of colour, they all glide onto the lips super smooth and have such a creamy, moisturising formula, even Fusion (the matte shade) applies smoothly and hardly drags on the lips at all, and for a matte shade that's brilliant. As for lasting power... Rebel with a Cause, Fusion and 100% Vamp all last a good 4-5 hours on me, I put this down to their great quality and amazing colour payoff, Chic on the other hand doesn't last as long, I'd say around an hour or so but it is quite a sheer/subtle lipstick so that's to be expected. The packaging of each lipstick is nice however the lids seem to hate me and fly off so easily all the time, but I love the sleek black casing and the little cap of the same shade of lipstick in the top of each lid is cute and makes finding your chosen lipstick shade super easy whilst they are in your lipstick holders or storage.

Ive put together a few swatches and the lipsticks actually on my lips so you can see in full just how beautiful these lipsticks are...

Rebel with a Cause

A very creamy textured, berry shade with a beautiful glossy look and finish.

Fusion

A matte berry shade that can be worn more sheer or can be built up for intense colour.

100% Vamp

A deep purple/plum shade with a creamy texture and a slight glossy sheen to it's finish. 

Chic

A gorgeous, subtle coral shade that wears quite sheer and contains lots of micro shimmer particles that sparkle in the sun.

Overall I absolutely love these lipsticks and have been so impressed, my favourite shades are definitely Rebel with a Cause and Chic, arrhh I just love them and for just £1.00 each you really cant go wrong!

Lip Crayons seem to be taking the beauty world by storm at the moment and Beauty UK's Posh Pout Tinted Lip Crayons really don't disappoint either.

My Favourite MUA Nail Polishes! ♥

 Hey beaut's! 

It's no surprise that I'm a huge MUA fan, I seem to be forever browsing at their makeup stand in Superdrug and quite a while back I noticed their new Spring Nail Polish /Matte Lipstick Collection had been released so I quickly bought the lipstick Lilac Belle (review HERE) and I also decided to pick up two of the new polishes. So today I thought I'd share with you all my favourite MUA Nail Polishes, I do have 7 of their polishes now and don't get me wrong I love them all but the four I'm sharing with you today are my most worn, anywhoo let get to business....

Now the little MUA nail polishes have 3 stand out things going for them that really lure me in, firstly the little 6.2ml bottles are super cute and really do resemble mini Essie nail polish bottles, secondly they're an absolute bargain at just £1.00 per polish... Yup that's correct 1 teeny, tiny pound coin and thirdly their are 24 awesome shades to choose from ranging from nudes, pastels, brights and even deeper, dark colours so theres certainly a shade to suit everyone.

Because these little polishes are just £1.00 you would automatically assume that the quality would be abit naff, as that's what I first thought but I can honestly these polishes are great and quite comparable to other high street brands. The formula is perfect, its not thick and gloopy nore is it really thin and runny, I find 2 coats of each polish gives a full opaque look but with the nore nudes shades I always opt for 3 coats to really get the most out for the shade. The application process is good, I've never noticed any bubbling but it can be ever so slightly streaky on your first coat but the second coat seems to completely even everything out, I do find the brushes are slightly smaller than your average nail polish brush but for me I prefer that as I have tiny nails so it makes the application process easier for me. 

MUA Nail Polish in Natural Days £1.00

Natural Days is a pretty light pastel pink colour, its very girlie and fabulous for either Spring of Summer wear. I find this one takes 3 coats to be completely opaque or you can wear it very shearly with just one coat.

MUA Nail Polish in Pistachio Ice Cream £1.00

I adore this nail polish... As the name would suggest the shade really does resemble ice cream, mint ice cream for me he he. It's a great shade for the Spring and the Summer and suits all skin tones, even when I'm at my palest it doesn't wash out my hands at all, it's also a very complimentary shade where everyone asks what I'm wearing on my nails, and if your looking for an Essie Mint Candy dupe this is the little beauty.

MUA Nail Polish in Strawberry Crush £1.00

Strawberry Crush is one if the newer shades I picked up and is a stunning bubblegum pink shade, I've also found using a glittery top coat over the top of Strawberry Crush turns your nails into some sort of Princess gorgeousness he he! Love this shade!

MUA Nail Polish in Red Rose £1.00

Again as the name would suggest Red Rose truly is a red rose/classic red shade which looks fabulous on nights out... Ohhh a little black dress with red rose on the nails and a red lip.. Gahhh doesn't that sound gorgeous!

And there you have it beaut's my favourite MUA nail polishes out of the few I own. You honestly cant go wrong with these for just £1.00 each, the shade selection is great, they apply well and don't take an absolute age to dry, they last a good 3 days which I think is very good for the price, the bottles are cute and the brushes are nice to and never shed hairs as you applying.
