Warm Brown Obsession found in Red Velvet

I have purchased these two palettes at around the same time and I have been using them frequently. When writing a review about a certain makeup product, I find it really important that it was used several weeks or even months, before it was spoken about its quality. Although I have had these two jewels in my collection for a longer period of time, I have recently noticed this similarity between them, which I thought I would share with you.

You might not see these similarities between them at first glance, since the Revolution palette has 18 shades, as far as Huda has only 9. But the shades match almost perfectly.

First I swatched Huda’s shades and then tried to find the closest possible color in the Red Velvet palette. I have to point out that some shades didin’t match perfectly, especially the lighter shade in Huda’s palette. For it I had to mix 2 shades from the Revolution palette.

As far as the quality goes I have to say that they are both well pigmented and creamy. Huda's shades might be more blendable and longlasting than Revolution's but that is expected. I am happy with bouth palette's color selection, which allows us to create several different looks. I suggest using eyeshadow primer in both cases, since we are talking about shades with red pigments, which can be a bit difficult to wash off in the first place.

THE CHOCOLATE VAULT

I HEART REVOLUTION CHOCOLATE VAULT

Makeup Revolution has launched another set just before Christmas of 2018 and I finally laid my hands on it. In this post I would like to show you what you can get in it, as well as provide links to each individual palette with photos, swatches and looks.

The vault itself contains six eyeshadow palettes, two mini face palettes and three lip glosses. Some of the products were initially meant to be vault exclusives, but they were launched separately later on, which made some of their collectors very cross.

The vault is still available to buy from their official website!

STRAWBERRY AND CHEESECAKE

STRAWBERRY AND CHEESECAKE

I Heart Revolution - Strawberry And Cheesecake

This is one of the three Chocolate vault exclusives! Lovely rose eyeshadow palette with pinches of gold and silver!

The palette itself contains 18 shades, 9 mattes, 8 shimmers and a foil shade, and it's great for creating flirty spring looks. It reminds me a lot of the Pink Fizz palette, which was launched way before this one, however they have improved the quality of their shades and foils a lot! What I was missing from it is a warm matte brown shade, which I would normaly use for a transition shade.

The shades

Fluff - white silver shimmer
Flavour - cherry red matte
Slice - bronzy gold foil
Butter - pale baby peach matte
Juicy - berry pink matte

Earth - dark matte brown
Pinch - peach matte
Fraise - pink shimmer
Strawberry - coral pink matte
Syrup - purple pink shimmer
Base - ale orange matte

Drizzle - pink shimmer
Biscuit - muted orange matte
Forever - silver shimmer with brown shift
Pour - brown matte
Sugar - yellow shimmer

Swatches

The look

This time I am not going to write a detailed tutorial, because I wanted to try out as many shades from the palette as possible and I was just layering them on top of each other. But stay tuned, I will post a video on my instagram profile soon! Follow me on Instagram as well @radioactive_heart !!!

Skirts we are afraid to wear

•LIFE•

Skirts we are afraid to wear

There are clothes, especially skirts and dresses we buy and never really get to wear them because we love them in stores but then when we come home, we realize they are just not our style, they might be to much attention seeking and so on. Or we just don’t wear them because of our low self-confidence, because we are afraid of what people might comment behind our backs.

On that warm August evening I couldn’t help but wonder, am I on the same page with my clothes as I am with my feelings? Do I keep some of them at the back of my closet and rarely express them, just like I rarely wear some pieces? 

But then again, some clothes are exclusive and they are meant to be worn just in-front of certain people who are special for us, for who we know they will enjoy and appreciate the view, just as some of our deepest and strongest feelings. 

And the end of the day it was my time to bring out my most girly skirt along with my most girly feelings and speak up about them with a little help of a rose martini in a company of a lovely friend who listened.
