After a difficult couple of months and some changes, I needed to buy some new beauty products for new routines. For the past year (until the beginning of March this year), I've primarily been working from home on two projects with extremely tight deadlines. Since I didn't need to go out and would not leave the house for days as there were many days where I'd just wake, work, and sleep, I got used to not worrying about make-up and not having time for it. These circumstances have now changed, and I am going into an office now for most of the week, so I needed some new beauty products and felt like treating myself with some new ones.
First up, I bought a few items from I Heart Revolution, a beauty brand that I have purchased from before. They had an offer on for their birthday that you would receive a free gift if you spent over a certain amount. So, I picked up the following items.
I Heart Revolution Sprinkles Blusher/Highlighter: This set of blusher-highlighter contains flecks to help add dimension to cheeks and corners of eyes or wherever you wish to use them. The colours can be used individually or blended together.
I Heart Revolution Fixing Spray in 'guava & rose': This fixing spray promises to help keep your make-up in place throughout the day. There are a couple of different scents available, and I bought the guava and rose scent.
I Heart Revolution 'Starry Eyed': This attractive glittery case (see the first photo above for a better photograph) was what really attracted me to this product, and there are a couple of other designs with different colours. This pallette contains a lot of blue-turquoise colours, which match my eye colour and also look good next to the bronze.
I Heart Revolution 'Blushing Hearts': This is a triple-baked blusher product with three different colours of highlighter-blush provided to mix or use separately to achieve your style.
In addition, the I Heart Revolution beauty range included a free product in Superdrug when I purchased over a certain amount of products. The above products came in a box and were some of their best-selling products. The products in this box are pictured above:
I Heart Revolution Strobe Highlighter Moon Glow Lights: This highlighter helps to capture an illumination strobe effect when worn.
I Heart Revolution Retro Luxe Kits Metallic Sovereign Liquid Lips: This product contains a lip liner and a lip liquid, so the liner can be used to outline the lip and the liquid to fill it in to create a metallic effect, which is perfect for the evening or a party.
I Heart Revolution Rose Gold Lipstick Chauffeur: This product comes in a beautiful rose gold metallic container, and it is a muted pink-rose shade of lipstick. This colour will go well for me with any outfit, and it's a suitable colour for me to wear.
I Heart Revolution Redemption Palette 'Iconic Elements' Eyeshadow Palette: These natural tones in different medium to dark tones are a perfect palette for everyday wear. They work well blended together, and the palette is a popular one with very wearable colours.
I go through a lot of foundation, so I bought three new ones with a goal to check them out to see which is the best one for me. Last time I purchased Rimmel, I thought that the foundation had decent coverage, so I thought that I would try them again but decided to try different ranges. All of these come with sun protection. Lasting Finish, Lasting Finish Breathable, and Match Perfection were the three options. I got one with a slightly lighter shade because my skin is a little lighter coming out of the winter months.
INC.redible Jelly Shot Lip Quencher in 'Ex-revenge' and 'Watch Me Go': These lip products help moisturise the lips and act as balms as well as help to add a bit of gloss and colour to lips. The 'Watch Me Go' looks like a green colour, but it leaves a subtle pink on the lips. The 'Ex-Revenge' is a clear/transparent colour with gold flakes in it. These products contain little flowers inside them.
Of course, watch my "empties" posts to see what i thought of the products, though it will take me a little while to use all of these products up.
