Zoella Kissy Missy Lip Balm Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

I'm pretty sure if your into watching beauty, fashion and lifestyle related video's on YouTube that you've all heard of Zoella (Zoe Sugg) before, I started reading her blog and watching her video's years ago and since then she's had so much success and released her own pampering range named 'Zoella Beauty' you go girl ha ha. I did buy a couple of things from the Zoella Beauty line last year and really enjoyed using them and recently Zoe has launched a brand new 'Tutti Fruity' line with Summer in mind, obviously I had to treat myself to a couple of things from the line so I decided to pick up the Scrubbing Me Softly Soothing Body Scrub (review coming soon), Bath Lily and the Kissy Missy Lip Balm which is what I'll be reviewing today!
The Kissy Miss Lip Balm (£3.00) comes in a cute plastic pot with a screw lid that has the Zoella logo adorned on it, it's the perfect size for your handbag/makeup bag and the screw lid stays on really well so you don't have to worry about it coming undone what so ever. The balm itself is a lot different than I expected, I was thinking it would have the texture of Vaseline but it doesn't what so ever, instead its quite a hard, solid balm that requires you to work your finger on the surface to kind of melt it. Once applied on the lips it feels lovely and smooth and so moisturised, I think it will be really beneficial during the winter months when your pout is really dry and needs a boost of moisture.
One of my favourite things about this lip balm is the pigmentation, it's so opaque and looks like you've applied lipstick to your lips not a lip balm, you can either apply one thin layer of the balm for a subtle pink tint or two thin layers will give you a fully opaque, hot pink pout which is so girly and fun. The colour does leave a slight stain on the lips so it wears really well and lasts for hours. As for the scent... The balm is enriched with extracts of Acai and Blueberry and is suppose to have the Tutti Fruity scent that flows through out the entire new collection however I don't get that at all, instead all I get is vanilla, it actually smells a lot like a MAC lipstick to be honest which smell amazing so that's good enough for me.

Overall I do really like Zoella's Kissy Missy Lip Balm, it's great to throw in your handbag for on the go and I love how moisturising and nourishing it is, I would say that I think it is aimed more towards the younger generation but that doesn't bother me or take away from the fact its a good lip balm so yeah, I really like it! 

  What are your thoughts on Zoella's new Tutti Fruity beauty range? I'd love to know beaut's!

Makeup Revolution Ultra Contour Palette Review ♥

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 the most amazing contour palette, so if your a fan of contouring and lust after that Kim K sculpted/highlighted look then Makeup Revolution have got you covered beaut's! 
The Makeup Revolution Ultra Contour Palette* (£8.00) 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 all new, large panned shades - theres three contour shades, three lighter "highlight" shades and two merged baked highlighters. 
The three highlighting shades at the top of the palette start with a matte peach which is ideal for brightening around the eye area and masking signs of fatigue as well as setting any makeup/concealer into place, a matte yellow amazing for colour correcting purple and blue under eye circles and veins as well as highlighting underneath the eye area and setting your concealer work in place and a shimmery peach (no glitter) perfect for highlighting the cheek bones. The three matte contour shades have varied levels of warmth to suit a good range of skin tones, the first shade has a medium level of warmth perfect for me to use as a bronzer, the second shade is literally the best contouring shade ever because it's a cool toned brown and has some grey undertones so it really creates that shadow/ contoured effect and the third shade is very warm and would most suit olive skin tones to bronze with. The two merged baked highlighters are super pretty, theres a cool toned ice white shade and the most stunning warm golden shade that looks almost rose gold in some lights. 
I've found that each pan of powder within the Ultra Contour Palette has great pigmentation but be warned a little goes a very long way with these, I'd definitely suggest applying small amounts of each powder and build to the level you need.  As for lasting power... it's great! Each shade lasts most of the day on me and doesn't go patchy or blotchy at all which is a major bonus because I really do hate that.

Overall I absolutely love Makeup Rev's new contour palette, I've been using the middle contour shade to contour with everyday and and mixing the first to highlight shades to set underneath my eyes and to brighten areas that I like to highlight, arrhhh it's such a gorgeous palette and for just £8.00 you really cant go wrong! 

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