I failed my eyeshadow palette challenge...
Hey guys, a couple of weeks ago I discussed my one a week eye shadow palette challenge which I was going to over the summer holidays. However, at the same time I decided to start the 30 day makeup challenge which was full of really inspirational ideas to expend your ideas of how to use makeup(on my instagram if you haven't seen it!). Therefore, I wanted to use a range of makeup because if I only used 1 palette I would've been a bit trapped and not able to try out the looks that I had envisioned.

August favourites
I can't believe the holidays are nearly over! It has gone so quickly and I've had so much fun. I'm going to be in year 10 this year and am going to start my GCSE's!!!
Anyway, I'm going to tell you about what I've been loving and reaching for in August.
W7 in the buff palette: Finally I have realised that I love it! It just has a great mix of shimmery shades, I do wish it had a few more mattes though because I love to have a matte as a base in my crease. I did use one of the shades from my Rimmel London 5 palette, the dark brown, as my crease/transition shade.
Rimmel stay matte primer: I get really oily skin anyway, but in summer I just turn into a greasy mess. This helps a lot, under makeup or even alone, it reduces my pores and my shine, I can't ask for anything more really.
Benefit they're real mascara: I have the mini size and it is just a good mascara, there are some just as good or better at the drugstore but this is the one I have been reaching for recently.
Makeup Revolution sugar and spice blush palette: This highly pigmented blush palette comes with 6 matte shades, one baked blush and one highlighter, all with stunning pigmentation. It is definitely for the fuchsia lovers and you need a really light hand.
Bourjois rouge edition velvet, 02 frambourjoise: This is a really pretty dark pink shade with a lovely smell and the softest texture ever. It doesn't last an awfully long time but wears evenly and isn't too hard to remove. Quite a thin consistency but easy to apply.

Favourite nail polishes
Hey guys, today I'm going to talk about the range of nail polishes that I've been loving recently.
Firstly, I'm going to talk about the rita ora collab with rimmel, producing a range of nail polishes with fresh, spring colours. Rimmel left them in it's own packaging, so you can tell the brand. I got the shade "878 roll in the grass" which is a lovely turquoise colour. The first coat of this is quite blue but as you build it up, it gets more green.It was £2.99 and you get 8ml of product.
Then I have a maybelline nail polish and it's from their 40 second express finish line in the shade "250". This is a beautiful purple, blue colour with hints of glitter which has a stunning effect on the nails! It has 10ml of product and I got it for £1.99.
Another nail polish I enjoy is the nailsinc polish in the shade "tate" which is a lovely dark red. It has a good pigmentation and formula. It has 10ml of product but I don't know how much it costs (sorry!).
We have a topcoat next, the Barry M matte topcoat. It does what it says on the tin, it makes whatever nail polish you wear beneath it.You get 10ml of product and it was £2.99.
I really enjoy the W7 nail polishes, but particually this pink one in the shade "110 clubbing". It was only £2, and you get 15ml of product! It has a really good amount of pigmemtation and I would definately recommend them.

Best Naked Palette dupe?!?!?!
Hey everyone, today I'm going to do a comparison post, on the best drugstore dupe of the Urban Decay naked palettes. I have 3 brands: MUA, Makeup Revolution and W7. I will compare price, weight, pigmemtation, texture. Then I will say which one I think is best.
Firstly, the MUA palettes. These are £4 each and contain 9.6g of product. I have the Undress Me which is the dupe for the naked palette. The packaging is very cheap and plasticy, I have already cracked the lid. However, the eyeshadows themselves are really good quality. The only eyesfavourite am not a fan of is the matte black, but most matte black eyeshadows are the same. All of the other eyeshadows are easy to blend and have beautiful finishes. Also the eyeshadows have names, which helps a lot in tutorials.
The next palette I have is 'in the buff' by W7, which is the dupe for the naked 2 palette. This was £5.99 and has 15.6g of product! The packaging is amazing! It is a very sturdy tin, so you can easily take it away without worrying about breaking it. Furthurmore, these eyeshadows are so creamy and blend so easily, its amazing. To make things even better, the eyshadows have names!
Finally, we have the iconic 3, by Makeup Revolution. This palette has 14g of product and costs £4. I was dissapointed by this palette because I can't use the first or second shades, aswell as the copper-gold. The reasons are that the
white is not pigmented enough to show up and the second and gold shades come out in chunks, so they are basically unusable(pun intended).
Overall, my favourites by far are the w7 eyeshadow palettes, they are just my ideal eyeshadows. The texture is amazing, the finish is beautiful and the packaging is a very high standard. I definately recommend them, they are just amazing!!! If I had to choose a second place, it would be the MUA palette. Eventhough the packaging is cheap and there is less product that both of the others, the textures are beautiful. Some of the Makeup Revolution eyeshadows are brilliant but there were too many disappointing lones to make this palette my second favourite.

Fortune Favours the Brave palette
Today I'm going to tell you about the Makeup Revolution's collaboration with BritishBeautyBlogger and the palette that they created together. The palette is called "Fortune Favours the Brave" and it is £10, only in superdrug and it's limited edition.
As you can see in the photos, the packaging is stunning and the shade range is amazing. The packaging is a matte gold with a shiny gold symbol. It is very sturdy and travel friendly. It comes with a full size mirror, 30 eye shadows and a double ended brush.
The brush is quite good, considering the price, but the blending side is a bit small - however this will be perfect for travelling.
When I first opened it I was a bit disappointed because I expected the shadows to be bigger, the pans are quite small. The palette only has 16g of product, but (again) I expected more product.
I have swatched all of the shadows; which all differ in pigment. I must admit, I was disappointed when I first swatched these because after so much praise I expected them to be amazing. They are a bit chalky and for a couple of the paler colours there is barely any pigment.

(Sorry some of the pictures are sideways)
If you build up the eye shadows you can have some lovely colours, there were only a couple disappointing ones.
Overall I do quite like this palette, it was £10 and you get names with the shades, so it is perfect for tutorials. I would recommend it because you can create a lot of different looks for different occasions and there are colours to suit everybody.
