HAUL || Brand NEW from Makeup Revolution!


I have a haul of all new, very exciting products from amazing budget beauty brand Makeup Revolution! You must know by now how much I love their stuff. This haul features the Fluid Blush (hello dupe!), an all-new original Iconic eyeshadow palette, another beautiful blush, bronze and highlight palette and sheer lip colours (which are apparently potential Tom Ford dupes!)


Let's kick off with the Ultra Blush and Contour Palette in Golden Sugar (£6). I have one of the original ones (reviewed here) and whilst every shade wasn't perfect it was well worth it for the ones I did like. I think this one is going to be even better. I much prefer gold shades for highlighting!


The 12-Shade Iconic Eyeshadow Palettes are amazing value at just £4! Iconic Dreams is pink, brown and olive shades and I can't see a single shade in this one I wouldn't wear and there's a good mix of matte and shimmer shades.



I'm sure you're sick of hearing about the One Blush Sticks (£5 each). To be honest the more 'blusher' shades weren't quite my thing, however I picked up Matte Malibu as I thought it would be perfect for contouring!



I had to try out the One Fluid Blusher (£3) and chose the shade Rush Me, a shimmery peach. For some reason I could never get on with the Daniel Sandler Watercolour Blush I bought but I thought for this price it was worth giving liquid blusher another go. For reference, the names of these blushers correspond to the One Blush Sticks.

Finally the products I am the most excited about! The #liphug lip colours...I chose the shades Still Missing My Baby, Save Me From Yourself and Keeps the Planet Spinning (£2.50 each). I really like the colours in the bullet, which is a relief. I will say, however it took a lot of wiggling to loosen up the mechanism but now they twist up and down just fine. I of course went for the deeper brown, pink and berry shades!


Honestly, ordering them was annoying. I'm not into buying without seeing makeup in person, but I was excited about these products so I took the plunge. They arrived online in two rounds so I ended up doing two orders within a few hours, paying twice for postage. I thought they may have, as a gesture of goodwill because I'd spent enough across the two orders to qualify for free delivery, refunded me one of the costs but customer service were pretty inflexible. It was disappointing because they were dispatched at the same time and arrived together! I will say however that the colours I ordered were as they appeared on the website but the experience hasn't made me convert to online beauty shopping...I am still a big fan of the brand, but I guess customer service is only as good as your last interaction with them!

*UPDATE* Makeup Revolution got in touch with me today and they said I'd received an automated response and that they could refund me. Also to make up for it they've given me a couple of items free of charge! They totally didn't have to do that and I'd have been more than happy just not to have paid twice for postage but that was really a nice gesture! I'd say if you have any problems with your order it might be an idea to just call up or try to get through to a person and they'll be more than happy to help. Thank you to Makeup Revolution for sorting this and going above and beyond!

To end on a positive note, I think the products themselves look amazing and I can't wait to use them! I was going to put in some swatches but I wasn't able to do them in the scarce daytime hours...I'll be including those in the actual reviews instead! (Apologies for this) Stay tuned over the coming weeks :)

I'm pretty much salivating over this stuff. Are you (lol)? Let me know your thoughts on these new releases in the comments!

  3. You picked up some great items. I love the blusk / bronzer palette and the lipsticks are gorgeous. They look so much more expensive then £2.50. They actually remind me a bit of Bobbi Brown's lipsticks. Will have to buy some of them. x

  4. I have my eyes on that new contour and blush palette, the minute I saw it I knew I wanted it, along with a few #LIPHUG lipsticks of course. Once payday is here I will be ordering myself some of the new products. I hate ordering from them also as you have to do it through paypal and it seriously takes forever for the payment to be verified and all. It sucks you had to pay for postage twice, but it's good that the colours were true to those online as I had problems with that the last time x

    1. I've been using the lip hugs and blush palette so far and I'm loving them!
      I've had times where I've totally guessed with lipsticks - it's hard when things are new and there aren't swatches everywhere online. I guess they use paypal to make it easier for international customers but it'd be good if they added a debit card option for people in the UK - I'm like you and hate when money goes out like 2 weeks later that you thought you'd paid! xx

  8. I get so jellie of you girls who have easy access to Makeup Revolution. I've heard tons of great things about their lippies and I'm dying to get my hands on some. But I am sorry to hear that their online CS was less than stellar. Makes me nervous about ordering internationally. :/

    1. I'm sure if you had any problems ordering you'd be able to sort it via PayPal (as they're the only option when paying) xx

  10. Those blush sticks look fab! I prefer them to powder blush as they make you cheeks appear more rosy!
