Gem and Jo Review Makeup Revolution's Flawless 2

Now this is one pretty palette! And, you guessed it, it's from Makeup Revolution! So not only is it gorgeous, it's also super affordable. 

This one here is a follow on from their Flawless palette and it's very originally named Flawless 2. But we won't hold the name against them, the palette is just far too lovely for that. We're slightly in love!

Compared to Flawless, this palette has a few more mattes and a few less shimmers. Plus it's a whole lot brighter, in fact the majority of the shades are quite bright and highlighting. Perfect for base shadows or for blending darker shades. 

As with all of the Makeup Revolution, the packaging for the palette is nice and sturdy, perfect for travel or for when you accidentally chuck it on the ground. 

We are loving using any of the lighter, matte shades for a base colour and then we pop one of the warm brown tones into the crease to create a simple, day time look. Chuck a little of the shimmery light shades into your inner corner for a highlight and to create a bright, wide eye look. Wanna look even more awake and bushy-tailed? Put some of the light shimmer shades under the lower lash line, just in the very center of your eye. This will really accentuate your eyes and make you seem alive, even if you have slept through 7 alarms. 

Heading to the pub after work? Chuck this in your makeup bag and use the darker shades to create a more sultry look in just a few seconds! Simples! 

Until next time,

Gem and Jo Review Girls On Film

This is about an eyeshadow palette just to clarify, the title of this post is....misleading.

Ah Makeup Revolution, we meet again you beautiful, beautiful brand. Oh how we love you!
If the sheer amount of blog posts about Makeup Revolution hasn't convinced you of our love of this makeup company then we don't know what will. We just cannot get over the quality of these palettes for such affordable prices. For instance, this Girls on Film palettes was just £4 from Superdrug. £4 pounds!! That's crazy cheap for such amazing products.

Girls on Film is a pink-y toned palette with colours that aren't dissimilar to one of Makeup Revolution's Iconic palettes. Kinda a dupe for the Naked 3 too. It comes with 12 shimmer shades and 6 mattes. A nice mix that can create some really pretty looks. And as with all of Makeup Revolution's palettes, the pigmentation (or colour payoff) is incredible. We do however, think that the fallout from the newer palettes is way more than some of our older palettes...conspiracy? Normal people think it's probably just new formulation of their shadows, but we love a good conspiracy. Why do you think we enjoy The Curse of Oak Island so much?
Tell us all your secrets Makeup Revolution!! 

*clears throat* Time to get back on track with the review....

When we first swatched the matte shades (the circle ones at the front of the palette) we weren't too sure of the texture. They seemed kind of silicone like, almost waxy. But once we used them properly on our faces, where they're supposed to go, we were pleasantly surprised at how silky and smooth they went on. 

We're pretty sure it helps the shadows to stay on longer too! Bonus! 

As with most pink-toned palettes, they're perfect for everyday wear. They can create really natural, day time looks that can enhance features. Especially in people with blue eyes! You gots to make those puppies stand out! 

With lovely shimmer and some darker shades this palettes can easily take you from day to night. Simply by adding a darker crease with just one colour, such as the matte black seen in the middle of the palette or the second-to-last brown shimmer, you can really make your eyes pop. And that will take you all through the night, whether you're working the tiles (aka dancing the night away) or milling into a giant tub of Ben and Jerry's. (We don't judge)

For £4 we really couldn't pass this palette up. It's perfect for Gem, who as you probably know has a bit of a problem with pink toned palettes (she's a makeup hoarder, send help!)

We're especially smitten with the champagne shimmer shades in this palette, 

which are your favourites?

Gem and Jo Review Makeup Revolution

Following up from our last Makeup Revolution post, which you can check out here, we decided to get some more of their fabulous products!

We picked up one of their very popular 32 Piece eyeshadow palettes and a gorgeous 8 shade cheek and bronzer palette, and boy are they pretty! It's killing Gem to even consider using them (she's a little strange and likes to keep makeup brand new...weirdo...)

Makeup Revolution Ultra Eyeshadow in Affirmation: €11.27 (£8.00)

The packaging of these products is so sleek and clean, and as a plus, it's really sturdy so travelling with these shouldn't be a problemo! 

There are a couple of the 32 piece palettes to choose from and as lovers of both shimmers and mattes we went with Affirmation. It has a collection of pinky-nude colours that will be perfect for just about any occasion and the shimmers will be excellent for when we need a little glam! 

Also, this palette comes with a completely matte black eyeshadow that is gonna work wonders as an eyeliner when we don't want the hassle of liquid liner. 

Honestly, how pretty are the shades in this palette?? It pretty much has a colour for every occasion and for that we salute you Makeup Revolution! 

Makeup Revolution Ultra Blush palette in Hot Spice: €8.41 (£6.00)

We kinda wish this palette said "Blush" on the actual palette's packaging, we think it's really cute! But alas, the packaging is kinda plain, a little boring but that is not to say the inside is not super exciting!! 

This cheek and bronzer palette is the epitome of pretty! The shades are a really summery peach tone and the highlighter is to die for! Plus there's a blush/highlighter combo shade for when you want the ultimate glowy-look! 

There are some shimmery shades, which we were a little iffy about at first but we will learn to love them because they are beautiful on the skin! Plus there's also matte shades that will compliment our super oily faces perfectly! 

This palette is the perfect palette for summer, and the darker shades will take you right into Autumn/Winter meaning it's a general all rounder. At £6.00 for 8 blushes you can't go wrong with this absolute beaut! 

We will definitely be looking up some more products from Makeup Revolution, they are playing a blinder right now and we are excited to see what they do in future! 

What do you think of Makeup Revolution?
