Hi Guys,

A couple of weeks ago, I uploaded a new first impression on the Makeup Revolution Ultra Cream Contour Palette - I did a first impression review on the Powder Contour Palette here. I have added the full first impression to this blog post - above.

I have added some swatches - from my first impression video - below so that you can see the difference between all of the shades.

The palette retails for £8, and you get 8 different shades - 1 shimmer, 3 contours/bronzers, 1 beige, 2 pink/salmon shades and one yellow shade.



The consistency of these is pretty good, and they feel creamy without being super oily. The shades which I have used are the darkest cool toned brown, the yellow shade, and the shimmery white. These both have different consistencies and are different in terms of coverage.

The yellow is very pigmented, blends incredibly and like a dream, and gives a medium coverage - although I still need to use concealer over the top. This is great as a highlighter, and is the perfect shade for my skin when I am self tanned - Estee Lauder Double Wear 1W2 & 2W1 mixed.

The contours on the other hand, are just really not that good. The pigmentation is ok, but they don't blend out too well, and you have to constantly build them up. As been as I don't have anywhere near olive/tanned skin, I expected these to be pretty dark, when in reality they just were too pale. When I notice that I used the darkest shade and it didn't really contour, I just don't think these shades are too versatile.

The shimmer shade is pretty good. It's pretty pigmented and you can build this up very well, however, it looked a little like a disco ball on me. I think it's great for if you just want to us it on camera because t's super shimmery, but it just doesn't look all too good in person. I think I was a little underwhelmed with this, as it didn't blend out very well at all.

Overall, I think this palette is good, especially if you don't have a lot of money, and if you're looking not experimenting with cream contour, however, I don't reach for this and I have other products in m makeup collection which are just a lot better.

A lot of you are absolutely crazy about Valentine's Day, and some are stuck with an idea on their makeup.
     I thought I'd take this opportunity to make my own tutorial for this special day. I decided to use some new products that I haven't used before, so I was quite scared because I didn't know how it would turn out. Also, with tutorials, I don't try them out beforehand, so whatever's in the video, is literally my first take on doing this make-up look.
     I wanted to keep the theme colours (reds and pinks), but thought that I wanted a quite strong eye colour and lip colour, but not make it go too crazy! this is why I decided to just sticks with pinks. I did a beautiful multi tonal pink eye, with the drama of the flicked eyeliner and false lashes, but then kept the colour for the lips to a cute, baby pink. This way, you're attracted to both the eyes and the lips, but one doesn't take over the other.
     I was a bit worried about using my bright pink Dainty Doll eye shadow, as it was fluorescent pink and knew that if you put a light, neutral shade over the top, it would make a beautiful coloured pink for the eyes. (plus the lighter shade had shimmer, so made it look beautiful).
