Honestly, removing makeup is one of the worst tasks to do at the end of the day. Couple that with needing sleep and having to tirelessly work through three or four products to completely cleanse my skin and you’ll understand why I jumped at the ad I saw for the ‘Face Halo’.
TRYING REVOLUTION BEAUTY
It’s by far the hottest cheap makeup brand around at the moment, with highly recommended products, so I thought I’d order myself a small bundle to test out Revolution Beauty.
I decided to order from Revolution Beauty’s website, which meant I had access to all their sub-brands and ordered a few products from a lot of them to get a full sense of the brand.
Below is the rundown of what I bought, how much for (at time of purchase) and my take after testing them for almost a month.
*There’s also an up to 50% summer sale on rn (18/6) on some items so it’s a good time to try it out for yourself!!
FAVOURITE FACE MASKS
Face masks are the ultimate pamper session must and I love to try different face masks all the time!
Below is a collection of my absolute favourite face masks that tackle different skin issues and are also at different price points.
BEST EYESHADOW PALETTES FOR BROWN SKIN
After searching long and hard, and going through some pretty rubbish palettes, I have found my two holy grail eyeshadow palettes that are pigmented enough for brown skin and compliment my skin tone perfectly!
I’ve included an example look from each palette to show the pigment, and starred the shadows I used in the palette. My eyeshadow skills really aren’t amazing, and my looks could be a lot more adventurous, but I hope it simply shows that the shadows have so much potential and do an amazing job even with me!
MY FAVOURITE BRAND – NYX
There is one brand who I absolutely adore that I keep coming back to and that is (surprise!) NYX! Although not all my makeup is from there (obvs) I use many of their products in my go-to makeup routine.
Here’s a rundown of my favourite products and let me know if there’s anything you swear by that I need to try out!
I own a ton of lipsticks by NYX, but I’m saving them for a lipstick collection post, so stay tuned!
