Makeup Revolution Retro Luxe Metallic Lip Kit

-
I love metallic lipsticks right now especially Colourpop Ultra Metallic Lip (Qween, 3-Way & Maneater).  As Colourpop is quite expensive to have shipped to the UK, I was happy to see that Makeup Revolution has come out with Makeup Revolution Retro Luxe Metallic Lip Kits (I guess this would be Makeup Revolutions take on Kylie Cosmetics lip kits.  I don't have any myself but the packaging looks similar).  I love the metallic packaging that the lip kits come it, it's gorgeous.
Makeup Revolution Retro Luxe Metallic Lip Kit
Each lip kit contains a lip contour lip pencil & a liquid lipstick.  They cost £6 each, but there was a 3 for 2 offer on at Superdrug, so I got 3 for £12.  I bought the shades We Rule, Sovereign and Worth It.

Worth It is a metallic berry shade.  It's really smooth and creamy and easy to apply and only 1 coat is required.  The pencil is slightly lighter than the lipstick.  It does not dry down on your lips as it's not a matte finish and it's not sticky.  I don't normally wear dark colour lipstick, but this metallic finish makes it so much easier to wear and overall this is my favourite shade of the 3 I purchased.

We Rule is a metallic copper shade and the pencil is a lighter copper.  The pencil is not as smooth and creamy as Worth It, probably because there are glitter particles in it, but the lipstick is smooth and creamy and easy to apply and only 1 coat is required.  I couldn't normally pull off a light shade like this, but again the metallic finish makes it so much easier to wear.

Sovereign is a bronze shade with a paler pencil.  Again, the pencil has a similar consistency to We Rule and whilst the lipstick is the same consistency as the other 2, it was a little patchy after 1 application, so did require 2 coats to look good.

Overall I think that the Makeup Revolution Retro Luxe Metallic Lip Kits are great quality and value for the price and the shades are very wearable.

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

**Reposted as the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer is  currently reduced to £2.50 from £4.50. I picked up the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer because it looked like it was a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. The Primark version costs £4.50 for 45ml and the Bobbi Brown Face Base costs £48.50 for 50ml, so there is quite a price difference.   I had always wanted to try out the Bobbi Brown product, so when I received a mini version in a gift with purchase goody bag I was really excited to try it out, but I have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed.  I have quite dry skin and the face base did not have as much slip as I was expecting, so it didn't feel smooth when I applied my foundation. For the price I was expecting to love it way more than I did. It does have a lovely lemon smell which I really enjoy, where as the Primark version doesn't really have a fragrance.  Overall, I actually preferred the Primark version as it is thicker and it ma

I have wanted to get an LED Mask for ages but with prices for some of them at over £400 I just haven't been able to pull the trigger and buy one yet. So when I saw the LED Light Mask in Primark for £15 I just had to try it out.  The Primark version targets 3 different skin concerns with 3 different types of light sources. Red Light - Use for Anti-Aging benefits by helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles Blue Light - Helps to remove acne causing bacteria and reduce skin  inflammation Yellow Light - Helps to improve rough skin, reduces appearance of wrinkles and skin redness To use you cleanse your face and apply soothing and hydrating products.  You can use with face cream, eye cream, facial mask, eye mask, essence, toner etc.  Press the button for 2 seconds to turn on and press again until the LED light that you want to use appears.  You then use it for 10-20 minutes.  It does advise that in case of sensitivity to use with your eyes closed.  After use switch

Aldi Lacura Vitabase Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-

I managed to get my hands on the newly released Lacura Vitabase Moisturising Primer from Aldi which is supposed to be a dupe of the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. It costs £5.99 for 50ml whereas the Bobbi Brown product costs £48.50 for 50ml. That's a big difference especially at times like these when every penny counts. The big question - is it any good? I actually really enjoyed using this primer. I have dry skin and this thick creamy primer really suited my skin. It contains vitamin c, vitamin b, vitamin e, shea butter, sodium hyaluronate & geranium oil and I found it very hydrating on my skin and it provided a great base for my makeup. My makeup stayed on all day and didn't go patchy or dry. It also has a fresh grapefruit and geranium scent which is really refreshing, but don't worry its not an overpowering smell. If you have dry skin I really recommend this product. It looks like its only available in store, so be quick as I'm not sure how long it will
