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

Makeup Revolution I Heart Makeup Lip Geek Lipstick Collection #1 The Pinks

Makeup Revolution I Heart Makeup Lipstick* £2.99 each

Last Saturday the most amazing parcel came though the door and sent me from a sleepy lay in mode straight into lipstick heaven! If these pictures aren't enough to make you lipstick lovers swoon over your screens then keep reading because once you see these swatched I promise you that you'll be amazed. 

I'm sure most of you are aware by now the hype that's surrounding 'Makeup Revolution' if not then where have you been? Makeup Revolution is a brand that offers us beauty junkies quality but affordable makeup, if you have a few hours to spare I dare you to take a look at their website as you'll be lost in it for hours, I promise. Recently Makeup Revolution launched their 'I Heart Makeup Lip Geek Lipsticks' onto their site and I've been trying and testing out the collection for you guys. I'm honestly so impressed with these Lip Geek lipsticks and I just know that your going to love them too.

Firstly how amazing is the packaging? Packaged in bright neon pink and purple casing, these lipsticks are so eye catching, pretty to look at and make all my black MAC lipsticks look a little boring (sorry MAC). Not only do these lipsticks look pretty, but the formula is fabulous too. Each one of these lipsticks has a really creamy finish to them, are super pigmented and are not drying on your lips in anyway whatsoever; Even when they start to fade, they are so pigmented that they fade to a lovely stain on your lips, I can't fault them. 

As many of you know now, when it comes to lipsticks pinks are definitely my go too shades and the 'Lip Geek' collection has some gorgeous girly pinks on offer, so I thought I'd showcase them all first - So get comfy as there are quite a few to get though. 



Barbie Is Jealous

Is it just me that thinks this or is the name of this lipstick fabulous? Being a girly girl my love for Barbie will probably never fade, so to have a lipstick in my collection that is a true Barbie pink is just amazing. If Barbie was to pick a shade of lipstick I bet she would want this gorgeous shade on her lips; 'Barbie Is Jealous' is the most gorgeous bright pink fuchsia shade that just looks so gorgeous on. If you love all things pink then you need this lipstick in your life, its just stunning on and will definitely bring out the Barbie girl in you. 




Candy Rock has to be the perfect shade for those of you who adore your bright pink neon shades; this lipstick is so bold and vibrant and just looks gorgeous on your lips. I know I'll definitely be using this as a go too shade this summer. Not only will 'Candy Rock' make your lips pop and make a statement, this shade is also going to look gorgeous along side your holiday tan. This shade also has blue undertones to it, which is fabulous if your wanting to make your teeth look a little whiter. 


Again I love the name Makeup Revolution have given this lipstick, 'Marshmallow Kiss' is such a gorgeous peachy light toned pink and is going to look stunning on you girls who have fairer skin. I love how this lipstick has a slight shimmer and frost to it which adds a little more definition to your lips. Even though this shade is a little too light for me, its ever so wearable and it's a great everyday lipstick that will work with so many makeup looks. 


Ken Will Want Me

The name of this lipstick really says it all, and for me this is the most gorgeous girly pink colour and is just such a classic shade of pink; it's not too bright but not too pale either, this shade is one for everyone. If you were going on a first date then this is the shade of lipstick that you would want to be wearing - It just gives you those perfect kissable lips. If your wanting really pretty girl lips then you need this shade. Out of the whole Lip Geek collection 'Ken Will Want Me' is possibly my favourite one, I love it.




This lipstick has to be the most wearable everyday pink in the collection as its a very nude pink and gives you that 'your lips but better' look. If you love your pink toned nudes then this shade is for you. I absolutely love the colour and once on it kind of reminds me of MACS 'Lovelorn' which is an all time favourite of mine. This is just so wearable, looks really girly on and is just one of those staple pinks that every lipstick lover should have in their collection. 

Baby Doll

For me 'Baby Doll' is such a princess pink which makes this lipstick so pretty and girly. As you can see from the pictures its really light and again I think it would suit those of you with lighter skin. For such a light shade 'Baby Doll' is so pigmented which is so often not the case with this shade of lipstick. I absolutely love this colour, I just don't think lighter pinks suit me as much as the more bolder and daring shades of pink do. This lipstick also has a slight frost finish to it, but it's very subtle and just gives your lips that extra bit of definition. 

So that's all the pinks in the 'Lip Geek' collection, as you can see from the pictures they are super gorgeous, creamy and look beautiful on. These lipsticks are such great value for money, and the pigmentation of each lipstick is just amazing. If your looking to add any to your lipstick collection make sure you check out the Makeup Revolution site here.

I would love to know which of these shades are your favourite? Let me know in the comments below; and if pinks are not really your colour then keep a look out as I'll be dedicating a post to all the coral shades very soon.

Lots of Love
