Makeup Revolution I Heart Makeup Lip Geek Lipstick Collection #4 The Reds


If you've been keeping up to date with my recent posts then you wont have missed me rave about these gorgeous Lip Geek lipsticks from Makeup Revolution. I honestly love everything about these lipsticks from the pretty pink bullet casings to their highly pigmented and creamy formulas. Over the last few weeks I've showcased the pink shades, the corals and of course the nudes, but no lipstick collection would ever be complete without those daring reds. So today I'm showcasing all the reds in the I Heart Makeup Lip Geek collection and as you can see from the top picture they are stunning. 


I Worked For It

Starting with the darkest shade in the entire collection 'I Worked For It' is a gorgeous deep and vampy red and is going to be a perfect lipstick choice when the winter months come around. Don't be too put off by how dark it looks in the bullet as once on its a lot softer, which makes it very wearable. I would describe this red as a dark brick red kind of shade and its going to look great on so many skin tones, especially those of you who have paler skin. 


Totally Not Boring

This lipstick has the perfect name as it is 'Totally Not Boring', in fact this shade has to be one of my favourites in the collection just because it's so unique and looks amazing on. Totally Not Boring is a gorgeous aubergine colour and just has the right amount of purple tones to it. This colour lipstick is going to look fabulous in Autumn time and makes me excited instantly for that time of year - I love wearing berry toned shades. This lipstick also has a slight frost finish to it which just adds a little more dimension to your lips, giving you the appearance of fuller lips which is always a nice bonus.


Cherry Bomb

As the name of this lipstick suggests 'Cherry Bomb' is a beautiful cherry shade and it's everything that you would want from a red lipstick. This shade is bright, vibrant, bold and so wearable. I find that the formula of this lipstick is so creamy and gives your lips a gorgeous glossy look at the same time. It's the kind of red that I find works well with my skin tone and works well with my hair colour too, so if you do have darker hair 'Cherry Bomb' is going to look amazing on you.


Total Diva

Total Diva has to be that classic pillar box red kind of shade and it really looks so amazing once on your lips. It has a slight orange undertone to it which makes it a little different to other post box reds. I find that this shade of red works so well on you  blonde haired babes and will compliment your hair colour so perfectly, especially in the winter time. I also love just how pigmented this lipstick is and with a steady hand no lip liner in needed either. 


Dare To Be Different

Out of all the reds in the Lip Geek collection 'Dare To Be Different' has to be the most wearable and every day red and it really is so pretty once on. This lipstick is more of a pink toned red, so if your someone who doesn't want to go all out with a bright red this is a perfect alternative. This shade makes your lips look really healthy and works well with so many makeup looks, I've been reaching for it a lot and already its become quite the staple in my makeup bag.

So that's all the reds in the collection and I think you will agree there are some beauties in there. If red is not really your shade then be sure to check out my other posts where you can find reviews and swatches of the entire Lip Geek collection. As I've mentioned before and in my other posts, these lipsticks are such great quality and are so purse friendly costing only £2.99 per lipstick. As the ultimate lipstick lover, I've tried and tested my fair share of lipsticks and some of the Lip Geek lipsticks have quickly become some favourites of mine, they are just so fun to wear and I can't recommend them enough. If your looking to add some of these lipsticks to your collection then you can find them all on the Makeup Revolution website here.

I would love to know if you've tried any of these lipsticks and what your favoutie shade is? Let me know in the comments below.

Lots of Love

Makeup Revolution I Heart Makeup Lip Geek Lipstick Collection #3 The Nudes


So last week I showcased off all the gorgeous corals in the new I Heart Makeup Lip Geek Lipsticks from Makeup Revolution and the week before that was the pretty pinks. As much as these bright beautiful colours are, there are always those occasions where a girl needs a trusty nude and I'm pleased to report back that Makeup Revolution have some stunning ones in their Lip Geek collection. Finding the perfect nude can be tricky business, especially when buying online, so I've taken a closer look at each one alongside with swatches so you can find the perfect one for you.


Kiss To Make Up

Kiss To Make up is the darkest nude in the collection and its seriously stunning, I've not tried a nude quite like this one before. From the pictures you can see that its a little on the darker side. Even though it does have brown tones to it, I would definitely still class this as a nude shade. This is going to be perfect if your ever worried about nude lipsticks giving you those 'manikin lips' look. Because this shade is so dark it really makes your lips pop a little, making it perfect for the evening or for a night out.


Live For Today

How pretty is this plum toned nude? Live For Today is so gorgeous on and its one of those nudes that I think will suit so many skin tones. The plum undertones to this lipstick make it really warm which softens this nude once your wearing it. Not only does this lipstick look amazing on, but I find that the formula of this one is so glossy and just makes your lips look really healthy. This is definitely going to be a go to shade when Autumn comes around - I love it.


Pucker Up And Kiss It

Pucker Up and Kiss It is a lovely warm bronzed toned nude and is going to look stunning on those of you with dark or olive skin tones. I've been wearing this along side my summer tan and it works really beautifully as an everyday natural lip colour. I love how this lipstick has a slight frost finish to it which makes it ever so pretty on and just a bit more special than your everyday nude.


Never Be A Millionaire

This shade of nude is a little bit lighter than 'Pucker Up And Kiss It', but still has those lovely golden bronze tone to it, which would make it a little more wearable for those of you who do have fairer skin. Because of its bronze tones 'Never Be A Millionaire' looks really warm on and just adds a lovely subtle colour to your lips.


Lips That Wont Lie

Lips That Wont Lie has to be my favourite nude in the collection and the shade that I find the most wearable, it's definitely one of those 'your lips but better' kind of shade. I find that its got some pink tones to it which really work with my skin tone and it's one of those nudes that are going to work perfectly if your thinking about going for a dramatic eye look. Whether your going to dress this nude up or down, its just so pretty on, will suit everyone and is what I would call the perfect nude shade.


Smile Is The Best Makeup

If you've got fairer skin then you are just going to adore 'Smile Is The Best Makeup'. This shade of nude is very light, possibly a little too light for me, but it does look gorgeous on - It's one of those perfect everyday lipsticks. I love the finish of this lipstick just because it has a slight frost to it which means that it's not going to wash your lips out and I find that this can sometimes happen with such a pale lipstick. I can see this nude being very popular, so its definitely one to pick up quickly. 

So that's all the nudes in the I Heart Makeup Lip Geek Collection, as you can see they are all so pretty and there is a shade to suit everyone and every occasion, 'Lips That Wont Lie' is definitely my favourite, but I would love to know which one yours is? Be sure to let me know in the comments below and make sure you head over to the Makeup Revolution website find all of these shades and the other pretty ones in the collection. Next week I shall be showcasing the REDS and trust me they will leave you dazzled, so make sure you keep your eyes pealed for that!

Lots of Love

Makeup Revolution I Heart Makeup Lip Geek Lipstick Collection #2 The Corals


As some of you maybe aware by now I've gone a tad lipstick crazy recently (like I wasn't already) since receiving the full collection of the I Heart Makeup Lip Geek Lipsticks from Makeup Revolution. Most of you have probably seen the gorgeous pink shades that I showcased and swatched in last weeks post here, but I know that pretty pinks are not to everyone's liking. Seeing as it's National Lipstick day I thought it would be appropriate to showcase of the gorgeous coral shades in the collection. Coral lipsticks have to be the ultimate summer shade to wear and I promise you that you'll be impressed by these beauties.

Just Have Fun

I love the name of this shade, as soon as I read it I immediately thought of the 'girls just wanna have fun song, and just like the name suggests this lipsticks really fun to wear.  For me 'Just Have Fun' is the perfect summer coral shade as its bright, a little bit daring and has that perfect balance of pink and orange tones to it. This lipstick probably leans more towards the red side, so it's perfect for you red fans wanting to wear something a little bit more subtle for the summer. This looks so gorgeous on and really compliments your summer tan - I absolutely love it!

Colour Overdose

If you love bright orange lipsticks then 'Colour Overdose' is definitely the shade for you. This super pigmented orange could be MAC's 'Morange' baby sister and would pass as a great dupe - Although this is probably a shade lighter or two. I always think that wearing a bright orange lipstick on a summer evening is a great way to make a statement and works as a great alternative to a bright bold pink. This shade will work with every skin tone and just looks gorgeous on.

Caught Myself Smiling

When I think of coral lipsticks, peachy toned corals are the ones that come to my mind and the ones I usually find the most wearable, 'Caught Myself Smiling' is that perfect peachy coral and really is the most perfect summer lipstick. I've been loving wearing this lipstick as part of an everyday makeup look as it just goes with everything; It also looks so pretty and girly once on. This lipstick really is a makeup bag essential and is one of my favourite shades in the 'Lip Geek' collection.

Happy Girl

Happy Girl was the first lipstick that I tried in the 'Lip Geek' collection and as soon as I popped it on I was like 'this is such a Danielle shade'. As you know by now I love pink lipsticks, there my favourite, so I instantly fell in love with this bright pink toned coral. I was quite surprised when I popped it on as its a lot brighter on than what it looks in its casing. However because its such a pretty girl pink its going to work for both  daytime and evening. I think I've just about said this with every lipstick in the collection now, but this looks so gorgeous and girly on.

Dream About Success

Again I find that 'Dream About Success' is another one of those peachy toned corals, however this lipstick is a lot lighter than 'Caught Myself Smiling'. In fact if it wasn't quite as bright on I would say that this would be more of a nude toned coral, however once on your lips it does appear quite bright. Unfortunately this kind of coral shade is a little too light for me, but its going to look great on you ladies that have fairer skin - This shade is definitely going to become your go to summer lipstick. I love the finish of 'Dream About Success' for such a light shade its so pigmented and creamy at the same time.

Is This All I Need

Is this all I need? And the answer would have to be yes and this lipstick is just one of those nude shades that looks amazing on and works with every kind of look that your going for. I decided to class this nude as one of the coral shades in the collection just because it does have those warm peach tones running though it. Personally I love this shade of nude as I find that it works really well with my skin tone; If you have a tan this is going to look amazing on you and compliment it really well. This is just such a great everyday lipstick for anytime of year, I love it.

So that's all the corals in the Makeup Revolution I heart Makeup Lip Geek collection, as you can see these shades are pretty amazing and at only £2.99 each it would be rude not to add a few to your lipstick collection. These lipsticks are such great quality and I still can't get over at just how pigmented they all are, not to mention the packaging is so girly and cute! 

I would love to know what shades your loving from this collection and if your planning on treating yourself to any? Let me know in the comments below.

Lots of Love
