My Makeup Revolution Haul

Have you heard of the new bargain brand Makeup Revolution? Well you need to check out their range ASAP! I heard about them through someone on Twitter, so checked out the website and was instantly in love with both makeup and prices. Although they are an up and coming online store, their products can also be found in larger Superdrug stores too.
Here's what I chose for my first order
From left to right;
Focus and Fix eyebrow shaping kit £2.50
Eyeshadow Palette Essential Mattes £4
Liquid concealer £1.50
Vamp collection lipstick £1
Vamp collection lipstick £1
Scandalous lipstick £1

My order arrived pretty quickly and was well packaged. Thee Camp collections were a little different in shade to what I had expected but still lovely on.
The matte palette is full of staple colours for day time wear and the colour pigment is pretty good, but can be a little tricky to blend right.
The concealer does what it says but for me, still turns out too orangey on my fair skin even though I chose the lightest shade. The eyebrow kit is my favourite. It comes with 3 shades and a wax, mini tweezers and angle brush that made my brows look great. It's is on par with another top brand named eyebrow kit I have previously used but is far cheaper.
Here are two looks I created with Makeup Revolution products. I hope you like them x

OOTD FT A message to haters

So after reading some of the absurd comments coming left, right and center on the Evans Facebook page, I decided to base my outfit on one comment.
It was all coming from the launch of their new Cut for Evans range, which features great items that are full of bold and over the top prints and clashing colours. For me, this is a total dream! But it seems it is not for everyone and that too, is just fine. What I dont like, however, is fellow fat (or not) girls, bashing other girls about what we should and shouldn't be wearing. Do I wear 'flattering' clothes? No. Do I hide under shapeless tents? No. Do I wear lots of patterns and make myself stand out? Yes!!
One comment in particular really made me chuckle. The lady said us 'big' girls should not be seen in jumpsuits, sheer cuts and OTT prints. Just because there is more to us larger ladies, do we have to hide behind black, shapeless tents, bootcut jeans and the such?
I could of chose an outfit that used some of my more bolder colours to demonstrate a point, in that they do indeed work for us but instead chose items that were sheer and featured...wait for it.....MESH! GAAASSSP!!!!

                       Dress;       H&M
                       Shirt;         Primark
                       Leggings;  F+F
                       Boots;        Ebay

The shirt is amazing. It has the cut out/waterfall thing going on so is long at the back and cropped at the back. The dress is a super stretchy skater dress with mesh neckline and sleeves. I personally think I look pretty good. Should we really stick to frumpy clothes and hide away just to keep it safe? Come off it. I have it and I'm flaunting it. And you know what I say to those who think they can tell me otherwise.....



..... Kiss me fat ass!  x
