It's A Revolution // Revolution Conceal and Define Review

Ok, so I know I'm massively late to the party with this as everyone has been raving about it since Revolution first released it, however, I am SHOOKETH. This is easily one of the best concealers I've ever used and I'm blown away by how good it is, especially when you factor in the price tag! I have been wanting to try this since it came out as I'd heard such good things about it, but whenever I went into the Superdrug in the Bullring they either didn't have my shade or had no testers available for me to try it first (I learnt a long time ago to NEVER buy concealer or foundation without a quick swatch first!). Up until now, I've been using the Benefit Boi-ing Industrial Strength concealer, which I do really like but since I'm going to broke for the foreseeable future (shout out to Student Finance for being utterly useless), I figured it was best to try and get hold of a drugstore one when I ran out.

The Conceal and Define concealer retails for £4, but if you're a student with a Superdrug Health & Beauty card, you can save 10% in-store with UniDays! So mine actually only cost me £3.60 - result! The formula is very full-coverage and creamy and actually, it really reminds me of the Urban Decay Naked Skin concealer, although I think this one is maybe a bit thicker. It comes in 25 different shades, which is a pretty decent range for a drugstore brand - I went for the shade C1, which is a little bit light for me at the moment as I've still got a bit of tan left from Italy, however as I'll be using it under my eyes, it's probably best if it's a bit lighter. It comes with a doe-foot applicator which makes for easy application under the eyes and it's really easy to blend out with your fingers, a brush or a sponge. I will say that there is a bit of a scent: it's not very strong and to be honest it's not something that would bother me anyway, however, I know some people are a bit iffy about how a product smells!

I'm pretty damn pleased with this concealer - it's creamy, full-coverage and the price is so good! I honestly wasn't expecting something so cheap to perform this well! I also saw on Revolution's Instagram page yesterday that they're releasing a larger size of this concealer and a new full-coverage foundation to go along with it! If it's as good as this concealer is, I may be tempted to stray from my Fenty foundation! 💖

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick "Morning After" Review

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in "Morning After" *New favourite lipstick alert* This lipstick is seriously giving me life right now! I bought it a couple of weeks ago and since then I've been constantly reaching for it. It's part of the Vice lipsticks collection from Urban Decay, which comes in 100 different shades and 6 different finishes (Comfort Matte, Cream, Metallized, Sheer, Sheer Shimmer and Mega Matte) and they're priced at £15. This one is from the Sheer range, it's a light nude shade that's more on the pink side. What I really love about is how buildable it is in terms of colour; one coat and you just get that really subtle, pink sheen to your lips or you can build it up into a super-glossy pink look! The only bad thing I can say about it is that they haven't made this shade in the matte finish because it would be so perf! (I think the closest you'll get in this finish is "Backtalk")

The Cherry On Top // Urban Decay Naked Cherry Palette Review

Wow I'm actually sitting down to review something that isn't a Birchbox 😂 I've been meaning to write this post since October when I got this palette, but as usual school and other life stuff have meant it's taken until now to do! RRP £42 This palette originally launched in September as a new instalment of Urban Decay's Naked series. I was really excited by it, as it's very different to all of the other Naked palettes out there and I'm a sucker for anything remotely pink-toned. It retails for £42, making it one of the more expensive palettes in the Naked series, and inside are 12 beautiful berry-toned shades: Hot Spot - a matte ivory shade. I always use these for setting my eyeshadow primer and as a browbone highlight shade. Caution - a neutral matte beige. Bang Bang - a pink shimmer. Feelz - a dusty rose matte shade. Juicy - a peachy pink matte. This is a great transition shade. Turn On - a gorgeous rose-gold metallic shade. Ambitio...

Why I Came Off The Pill // Honesty Time

I wasn't 100% sure if I was going to write about coming off The Pill or not. I personally think that a lot of people, especially women, feel that they can't talk about contraception and the effects it has openly. I recently read a blog by Alex Jones (her Instagram account is @alexgracejones if you'd like to have a look) which pretty much convinced me to write this. As Alex says in her blog, contraception is a conversation I've had with friends so many times, and yet outside of those circles, you don't really hear anyone speak about it. Personally, as a woman, I've always felt it's pretty much been up to me to make sure I don't get pregnant, whether that's taking hormonal contraception or using a condom. It seems odd to me then, that there aren't many women out there talking openly about their contraception, so I think it's time we changed this! I originally went on The Pill when I was 17 because my periods were really irregular and very h...
