I ♡ Makeup Black Velvet Palette Review & Swatches

I ♡ Makeup Black Velvet Palette Review & Swatches

Hi guys welcome back to my blog,if you are new and not following me on here then please do so as it honestly makes me do a happy dance when i get an email that i have got a new follower,it's easy too,if you have google please follow through google friends connect or also click to follow through bloglovin too thanks ♥

So as you can see by the photo this is my new palette from Makeup Revolution called black velvet.

The name kind of co insides with the stunning packaging as the lid is made from,,,,yes that's right black velvet with a gorgeous big black heart jewel in the middle,just makes me want to stroke it,my god am i mad,i have just done another review on Makeup Revolution choc bar palette which i wanted to eat and now i want to stroke this lol,but i am a sucker for cute packaging.

How stunning is that? isn't it pretty and would look the part on any dressing table or vanity for sure.

It comes with a normal sponge applicator but a bonus is that it does have names to the shadows,although and this is a big although,i wish Makeup revolution would print the names under the shadows inside the palette as once opened i actually lose them clear plastic pieces or they will fall out then i will have 3 laying around and I'm then wondering which piece of plastic is from which palette so if your reading this MUR i would really love you to change that ♥

I swatched these today and again Makeup Revolution never disappoints me at all with the pigment of the shadows.They are honestly amazing quality,I'm into all kinds of Makeup for different reasons,i may like Revlon for foundation and lip products but tbh i don't like them for eye shadows and i think Makeup Revolution do a much better job at a fraction of the price.

It's a really pretty palette with beautiful colours too.

So here are the swatches,the above photo is in daylight no flash but the bottom photo is taken with flash just to show you the difference.These colours are just to die for,although i would say it's more of an evening than a day palette as has more darker smokey colours,I think it has about 3 or 4 shimmer colours the rest are matte and matte colours are usually not so pigmented but MUR ones always are which is fantastic,i think I'm in love with the plum matte shade bottom row third along.

Lovely colours for the crease and great to have a shimmer and matte highlight colour too.

Do you own this palette or anything from Makeup revolution,then let me know what you think too?

All in all this is again a fantastic palette and my only quibble is the plastic sheets,please get rid and start printing them inside under the shadows if possible,but apart from that small factor then this is totally worth £7.99 so please click here to check it out>>>

HAUL | Karl & CK sample sale + story about the red bag

As promised my Sample sale haul! I usually don't buy branded underwear or bikini, but since it's Calvins I couldn't resist. I think I'm good for the upcoming summer. Not really colorful but oh well. I love the details of the white bikini, with black linings with the brand name on it. I like the simplicity of it. The other bikini is a black and white one as well but is more graphic. And I just love the model of the bikini top. I also managed to get me some soft bras with the iconic elastic band, I didn't found them right away. It was on my third and fourth round. Unfortunately I couldn't find the iconic and well wanted underwear set but I'm still happy with these ones. The bikini sets are 17euro each, bra's 13euro and underwear 8euro. I also managed to find a bomberjacket from CK. I was hoping to find one and I did! Although I'm pretty sure it was placed in the wrong section and is supposedly for men but who cares? It had an original tag attached and was prized for 300 euro and I bought it for 50euro (score!). Finally, the winner for todays haul of the sample sale is this gorgeous bag from Karl Lagerfeld. 

So what's the story behind this bag? When we arrived, I went straight to underwear section and the clothing section of CK.. I totally forgot there was a Karl section as well. Which I regretted because the accessories of Karl Lagerfeld are the best. I still went through everything and didn't find anything interesting.. Until we were about to go to the cash register. But my sister still wanted to try some shoes, so my mom and I sat near the shoes and bags section. A splash of red caught my eye through the mass of people as I was sitting on the bench, but it wasn't sitting on the rack but it was carried by a girl in her arms. I fell in love and I was so desperate to find myself one as well. I went to the racks but couldn't find another one. The girl was standing there with her friend hesitating wether to buy the bag because she wasn't so sure on how to style it. In my head I screamed 'Then give it to me!', but I stayed quiet and quietly moved where she was going. I then saw an older women holding the same bag in another color and the color was beige and kinda perfect too and I saw that she was hesistating as well. What's wrong with them? The bag is perfect! Anyway so I had my eyes on both people. I know you'd probably think why don't I just ask them that for the bag if they don't want it?

 I don't know if I'm a bit weird or even a bit mean but if the roles are reversed and I was hesitating and someone was asking me the same question, I would probably buy the item. Because I would think that it's something worth having and that the item is really wanted by everyone. Who wouldn't like that? So I stayed put and continued to observe. Then everything happened so fast. The older women but the bag down, I grabbed it and then the other girl put it down as well at a different rack and I grabbed that one as well. Suddenly I had two bags in my hand. To buy both of them for myself is probably really irresponsible although I was contemplating it. My mom liked the beige one as well, so we both bought one! Since it was real leather, they were 90euro each. I tried to google the original retail price but couldn't find it. I only saw the bag on one german blog but not available for retail. 

What do you think of this haul?

Sorry for the long story on the bag! But I really wanted to share this with you.

EVENT | Karl & CK sample sale

Last friday I went to the sample sale of Karl Lagerfeld & Calvin Klein. I just finished my exams and thought that it was okay to spoil myself a bit.. I haven't seen the sunlight the past week even though the weather was soo good to us. So when my sister got tickets, I couldn't resist. I've never been to a sample sale as well, so I thought it was a good time to start. I visited the sample sale on their first day open and went quite early, it was a 30-40 minute drive from my place to the sample sale, so it wasn't that far from my home. When you enter you get checked for the tickets and your ID and then you first go through the Calvin Klein section, which is the biggest section. Most of the items are from the 2014 collection which was a great surprise for me and the quality of the items are quite good as well.

The people there were pleasant, I haven't encountered women pulling on each other hairs (although I was almost about to.. which I will tell you later in the next post) and the people working there were really nice. I think I've heard about 5 announcements about founding stuff people have lost like their car keys, bank card or ticket. They don't mind you sorting throughout your stuff in the middle of the place and at the cash register the people there are also friendly and excited for your findings. So I had a quite good first experience for a sample sale and want to go to many more in the future!

Even though it was my first time, I managed to compile a little list of tips to go by when going to the next sample sale;

1. When you go there you can't wear anything of the brands from the sample sales and you can't bring any bags. So I suggest to wear something basic and simple and something with pockets to put your wallet and other necessities in.

2. Another thing you'd have to consider if you're going to a sample sale is that you probably won't have privacy if you want to try things out. There are fitting rooms but it's just one big open space for men and women. So I'd recommend wearing something under your clothes as well.

3. Go early. The fewer people there, the more chance you get to get your favourite pieces.

4. The items are (usually) not individually priced but are based on the type of garments, so if it's more beneficial to get something from the newer collection.

5. Be patient. It's really easy to get overwhelmed by the amount of items and garments around you..
I went to each section probably 5 times over and over again in an order. People will put back their stuff they don't want anymore and (I think they even refill the stock), so it's worth to visit sections more often.

6. Go without a mission. Of course it's good to have an idea already what you are 'hoping' to buy and done some research on their latest collections. But you can never predict what they are offering, so to not be disappointed on not finding the item, it's better to be openminded and just have fun!

I hope you the tips are useful for your own sample sale!

Have you ever been to one? If you have, for which brand was it?

I managed to get some stuff at the sample sale and will be showing it in the next post!

Makeup Revolution I ♡ Makeup Naked Chocolate Review Swatches

Makeup Revolution I ♡ Makeup Naked Chocolate Review Swatches

Hi all and welcome back to my blog,if you are not following then please do by using Bloglovin or Google friends connect as this makes me jump for joy when i get new followers ♥

So i ordered some items from Makeup revolution as you do lol or as i do quite often in fact as I'm sure they have put me under some sort of crazy weird spell and whisper in my ear at night ....buy buy buy from us lol ok maybe not but i just had to share this stunning palette with you which is one of many i have now.

This is called Makeup Revolution I ♡ Makeup Naked Chocolate Palette and it's a stunning white Chocolate design,we prob all know by now that they have done a dupe for the Too faced Chocolate bar palette which i will also be reviewing but they went a step beyond and brought out more in the chocolate range and this is just gorgeous feast your eyes on this,sorry for the "Feast" pun lol

aggghhh i know it's Easter all over again,i will have my children trying to eat my makeup lol,no but seriously this is stunning and only £7.99 from the Makeup revolution website which i will like here  http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/index.php/palettes/i-makeup-chocolate-palette/naked-chocolate.html

There are a really great combination of matte shimmer and highlight colours so great for brown bone inner corner,lovely matte shades for crease and stunning shimmers for the lid.I would say the colours are a golden bronze brown,well actually you can see for yourself as here are the swatches,the top swatches are with no flash and bottom are with flash but they are very pigmented for such a cheap palette.

So anyway please let me know your thoughts on this palette,would you buy it or do you own it? what do you think of the colours? as at the moment I'm loving all eye shadows from MUR as they are the King of Dupes don't you know ♥ 

Well done again for drawing and luring me into your net lol,i don't need anymore makeup but you keep bringing out such lush cheap products that i can't help myself ha ha.
