Makeup Revolution Palette Review



Who hasn't heard of Makeup Revolution? A brand that is affordable and who create a fantastic range of makeup. I received this Makeup Revolution palette from my lovely friend Ashley from Beauty Waterfall. I opened this palette with excitement as Makeup Revolution always know how to deliver.  The palette is called the Salvation Palette- Welcome to the pleasuredome and consists of 12 shades with a slight shimmer and then 6 matte shades. I like the variety of nude and bright colours, they all compliment eachother well. The pigmentation is so good and on par with some high end eyeshadows.

You can create many looks using these colours, from a smokey eye to a simple sweep of shadow to create a gorgeous nude eye look. The matte shades are super matte which I love and the shimmery shades do not have large chunks of glitter so it doesn't look in your face. I would highly recommend this palette which retails at only £6.00! Isn't that amazing! Such good value for money. 



I would highly recommend this product. Have you tried this palette or any other Makeup Revolution palette?

Review Lacura Face Masks

Hi Loveys,
 
Here is my review on these two beauties, Lacura face masks which retail at £3.99 each, available from Aldi supermarkets.
 
Lacura Nutri Build-Up Face Mask

This mask is for all skin types, it claims to be an "intensive regeneration treatment" that "rebuilds skins protective barrier" and "maintains moisture levels and noticeable rapid suppleness".
 
This mask has a fruity scent which is cool and creamy, what I found surprising was the applicator, it is a brush which you twist to release some of the product and apply so no mess!

 
The mask was cooling and I left it on for 10 minutes, when I rinsed it off I found my skin was soft and bright. After two weeks of using this product I noticed my skin looking healthier and my complexion was clearer.
 
Lacura Anti-Fatigue Face Mask
 
This mask states it is an "intensive moisturising treatment" that "counteracts the signs of tiredness and refreshes skin" and claims it will give you a "bright and radiant complexion".
 
This was my favourite out of the two, a citrus scented product that was good enough to eat! I expected a white creamy formula like the above product, but instead a bright yellow cream came out of the brush. This mask is cool and creamy, it applies easy and I kept it on for 10 minutes. The product came off easily after I washed it off with luke warm water, after use this product had my skin feeling soft and hydrated. I used this mask for two weeks and found my skin looked brighter and refreshed. I would highly recommend these two masks, you cant go wrong with the price tag and the result is worth a place in my skincare routine!
 




 
 
Have you ever tried these masks? What is your favourite mask to use?

Review: Lacura Body Butter

Hi Loveys!
 
So as you can gather I am a lover of all things Lacura, the effectiveness, the price and the results are just right for me. Today is a review of the body butters that are now available in stores at Aldi supermarkets.
 
The body I am reviewing is the Shea butter scent, a sweet nutty scent that is super creamy. Lacura states the cream is a "luxurious and moisturising formulation containing Shea butter. This nourishing body butter with vitamin complex will help to leave your skin feeling soft and smooth".
This creamy consistency is moisturising and long lasting, the cream sinks into the skin and does not leave a greasy residue which I find with some body butters. My favourite body butter has always been The Body Shop, they retail around £11, this retails at £1.99, I was excited to try this but thought it would take a lot for me to be converted but oh my I have truly and honestly found my new holy grail body butter that left my skin feeling soft and smelling sweet! I would highly recommend this product, I can not wait to try the other scents available. I think if we did a blind test of high end to high street this would be mistaken for a high end product, it certainly does feel luxurious and does not match the £1.99 bargain price!

Review: Cheap Skincare! Lacura skincare

Hi Loveys!
 
*So here is a review I am excited to write, a review that screams cheap but blimin cheerful! This skincare range is available in Aldi, a supermarket in the UK which also has stores in Europe.
 

Aldi, Skincare, Review, Cleanser, Moisturiser, Cheap, Bargain, Spotty skin, Oily, Magnolia, BioEcolia, Pretty, Skin, Face mask, Gel wash, Exfoliator
Clear Effect Daily 3 in 1 Cleanser, Exfoliator and Face mask
This gentle everyday use cleanser is now a firm favourite in my skincare collection, its handy 3 in 1 use means no fussing over products and the fact that it is £2.99 means it is a must have!! When I first used the cleanser I fell in love instantly with the fresh yet floral scent, it has a creamy white formula with tiny little blue balls that act as the exfoliator. I now use this cleanser everyday after the removal of my eye makeup, it is so gentle that it acts as a cleanser and exfoliator in one. The face mask is a gentle mask that adds a glow to the skin, it balances the skins natural oils and I felt it was gentle enough to use 2-3 times a week. This product contains Magnolia and BioEcolia which helps "protect and strengthen the natural and biological defence system of the skin, helping to create a more even and radiant complexion. I would agree that it gives a radiant complexion, I love the fact it helps protect and strengthen the skin as this would help with anti-ageing, and as I am nearly 29 I can start to see the signs of ageing- literally could sob after writing that sentence! I would highly recommend this product.
Aldi, Skincare, Review, Cleanser, Moisturiser, Cheap, Bargain, Spotty skin, Oily, Magnolia, BioEcolia, Pretty, Skin, Face mask, Gel wash, Exfoliator
Clear Effect Daily Gel Wash
This gentle gel wash is a blue non sticky gel that you apply to the skin then circulate around the skin and wash off. I tend to steer away from gel washes as have found them sticky in the past but this formula is creamy and moisturising, I was shocked at how well it cleaned my skin, I applied this and as I was rinsing my skin I could see the foundation and dirt swirl around my skin, gross I know! It states it "thoroughly removes impurities and makeup to reduce shine and greasiness", this sentence is how I would describe it! My skin has gone in oil overdrive lately so this range has been helping to control this. This product also contains BioEcolia and Magnolia, it has the same fresh yet floral scent as the 3 in 1 cleanser. £2.99.


 
 
Clear Effect Mattifying Moisturiser, Clear Effect Soothing Night Cream and Tinted Moisturiser
 
I thought I would add these all in the same section as they similar products. All three creams are moisturising and light, the night cream is slightly thicker but not too heavy which I like. The day cream has Magnolia and BioEcolia meaning it protects the skin and creates "immediate mattifying effect with 24 hour moisture" I would agree you do instantly get a matte skin appearance,but I am not sure that it moisturises for 24 hour, for me, as felt that by the evening my skin was ready for my makeup removed and for some night cream to be applied. The night cream contains active ingredients of balloon plant echium and sunflower oil to "sooth stressed out skin and promote suppleness overnight". I would agree, this cream didn't send my skin into oil overdrive that some can do and it calmed my skin, making it feel soft and moisturised! The tinted moisturiser again isn't too thick, its a subtle tint that adds a lovely glow to the skin, it isn't greasy and lasted quite long, it isn't something I would purchase as such as I am one to want to full coverage, but if you are looking for a tinted moisturiser that will give a light coverage and will make your skin feel super soft then this is for you! Each cream is again £2.99 an absolute bargain!!


 
Have you tried this range or anything else from the Lacura range?
