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")

Birchbox Goodies // April 2019

I'm writing this having just watched the latest Game of Thrones episode so bear with - I'm a bit emotionally fragile right now! (If you haven't seen it yet you are in for 90 minutes of OH MY CHRIST) A little bit late with this month's Birchbox post; I've started back at school again so it's been a little bit crazy but I figured I'd get this out while I've still got 2 days of the month left! This month's box is inspired by the healing power of crystals and enhancing your natural glow from within. Now, I don't really believe in crystal healing but I am all about that inner glow (plus they're beautiful to look at) so I was pretty excited by this box design! This month, I received a Benefit POREfessional primer, an ESTATE highlighter, an eye mask from Vitamasques, a Human+Kind moisturiser and an eye cream from Balance Me. ESTATE Cosmetics Dew Me Baked Highlighter in "Afterglow" RRP £10 Ok, so I wasn't really looking forw...

Birchbox Goodies // May 2019

Does anyone else have a major urge to just spend the next few months sitting in the nearest beer garden or is that just me? Summer is well and truly making its return and for this month's Birchbox we're celebrating being able to spread our wings (although I wish those wings were taking me to a beach). In this box, I got a Lord & Berry eyeliner, a toner from Sukin, a Beautaniq mascara, a face sunscreen from Mimitika and a hair mask from Philip Kingsley. Lord & Berry Line/Shade Eye Pencil RRP £13 I'm pretty sure I've received one of these in a previous Birchbox and from what I remember, I liked this product then and I like it now! I don't really use black pencil liner unless I'm doing a dark smokey eye, in which case I'll use it to line my bottom lashline. This one is pretty pigmented and also smudges out really nicely so it ticks all the boxes for what I look for in a product like this. I do think the price tag is a little expensive though, ...
