Makeup Revolution Unicorns Unite Lipsticks || Review

Makeup Revolution Unicorns Unite Lipsticks* £1.00 Each 

It will come as no surprise to you all when I say that Makeup Revolution is one of my favourite makeup brands. One of the reasons for me loving them so much has to be that they makeup fun and are not afraid to be a little bit more adventurous and daring when it comes to their collections. A little while ago you may have seen me get way too excited about the launch of their Unicorns Unite palette (full review here) as I love the idea of anything mythical and magical. It was a real treat to have an eyeshadow palette that resembled the colours of unicorns. If that wasn’t good enough, Makeup Revolution have added to their unicorn collection and have brought us five new lipsticks that are part of the Unicorns Unite range (insert girly squeal here).

As you can see from the pictures, by no means are these your everyday lipsticks and they certainly aren't for the faint hearted. BUT how pretty and magical do they look? I know they are not the kind of lipsticks that I would choose to wear daily, but if your like me and love playing around and experimenting with makeup then these are too good not to pick up. Like I said, they are just really fun lipsticks and make a great addition to any growing makeup collection.

In total there are five lipsticks to choose from. We have a gorgeous bright blue/purple shade called ‘Magical’, a stunning turquoise shade called ‘ Horn of Magic’, a pretty pink called ‘ Pink Myth’, a frosty lilac named ‘Throne’ and a mauve colour with grey undertones called ‘ Legend’. I love how each lipstick has been named to fit in with its unicorn theme. I think what makes these lipsticks a little more magical is that they all have a frosty metallic finish with the exception of ‘Pink Myth’ which is definitely the most wearable lipstick in the collection. 

Each lipstick will only set you back £1.00 or you can pick up the full set for £4.00 which is such a bargain. Each lipstick does have a really nice formula to it, the shades are fairly pigmented and theres no dragging on the lips, so they make for a really comfortable wear. I think with Halloween just around the corner, these lipsticks are really worth picking up. I think there are some really fun creations to be made with these. Or you could just do what I do and wear these around the house, channel your inner unicorn. 

I would love to know what your thoughts are on these lipsticks? Are you brave and bold enough to wear them? Let me know.

Lots of Love

Unicorns are Real! || Makeup Revolution Unicorns Unite Palette

I'm pretty sure that it comes to no surprise now when I declare my love for Makeup Revolution. I honestly must sound like a broken record because I'm forever raving about the brand here on my blog, Twitter and Instagram... Obsessed I know. My obsession for the brand has grown a little more since last week as I was lucky enough to get my hands on the new Unicorns Unite Salvation Palette* (insert girly squeal here). A little while back you may remember when MR released the Mermaid vs Unicorns palette which was so popular as I think everyone including myself has a thing for mythical creatures. I'm guessing because that palette was such a success due to the amazingly themed colours included in the palette, Makeup Revolution have now brought us a palette that is dedicated to us Unicorn Fans. 

Now you don't need me to tell you just how stunning and vibrant the Unicorns Unite Palette is as I'm pretty sure the pictures speak for themselves. But if you want to find out what I think makes this palette really special and why you need it in your makeup collection then be sure to keep reading. 

First of all the packaging of this palette spot on and fits the unicorn theme perfectly. Usually when a palette comes in a box, I quickly dispose of it. But Makeup Revolution have really gone all out with this bright purple holographic packaging - Beautiful! The actual palette itself is the same as all the other MR Salvation palettes; A sleek shiny black casing which feels sturdy and has a great clasp and a large mirror inside which is perfect when applying the shadows. The palette contains 18 different shades of eyeshadows, 12 of them being shimmery and the other 6 having a matte finish.

The Unicorns Unite Palette definitely has a theme running through it, other than the obvious (unicorns). The colours inside are bright, bold and definitely not for the faint hearted! I think theres such an amazing choice of colours ranging from metallic blues, vibrant purples to neon pinks. The colours for me really emphasise that fantasy element to the palette and just looking at it I feel inspired to play around with colour and create some bold and daring makeup looks. What I've found and really love is that all the shades compliment each other really well, which is just what you want in any palette - So the looks that you can create are endless!

As for the actual shadows themselves I've found each shade to be highly pigmented, soft and very bendable. On the packaging it does say that 12 of the shades are shimmery and I've found them to be a good mixture of metallics and glitters. The metallic shadows are definitely the winners in the palette ; Not only are they stunning once applied, but they add so much dimension and depth to your makeup look and are like no other eyeshadow I've ever tried before.

As you can see each shades is unique  and you really have so much choice when it comes colour. By no means is this an everyday eyeshadow palette for me, but I love playing around with colour and sometimes its fun wearing something a little more daring. I think this palette would be great if you like bright colours and like me are a fan of unicorns! I can just imagine the bright blues and metallic purples would look great worn during summer time, especially if you're heading off to any festivals. I've had so much fun playing around with this palette and have already some favourite shades amongst the 18. Below is a look I created using some of the purple and blue shades, but I'm thinking of showcasing my creations in a separate post using this palette - Let me know what you think?

If you're wanting to pick up the Unicorns Unite Palette, then be sure to head over to the Makeup Revolution site where they sell for £6.00 - Such a bargain! I would love to know your thoughts on this palette, let me know in the comments below. 

Lots of Love
