Makeup Revolution have recently released three new Pro Palettes to their array of eyeshadow palettes and each of these palettes contain three eyeshadow looks within one palette, making it easier to create eye looks, whilst also helping to understand which shades work well together.

The lovely team sent me over the Pro Looks Big Love Palette* (£6), which is definitely my favourite out of the three palettes so I was really happy to open up this one. As i've already mentioned that this palette contains three eye looks, with five eyeshadows for each look, each one for a different occasion. I really like the idea behind this palette as i've never seen anything like it before.

Starting from the right, is your everyday neutral eye, which has one matte shade and four shimmer shades and this one i've been wearing quite a lot as it's a really simple, yet a beautiful eye look. In the middle we have a more smokey eye look, containing one matte shade and four shimmer shades, which you could wear in the day toned down or vamp it up for the evening. I really like the purple tones in this and I can't wait to see how this one looks all together. Finally, on the left is a more party look as this look contains all shimmer shades and I love the different blue/brassy tones.

All of the eyeshadows are really pigmented and they last so well throughout the day, but make sure to tap off any excess as they can get a little messy when applying. The palette itself has a huge mirror just like their other palettes, making it great for travelling which is really handy.

If you're a newbie to eyeshadow, or have trouble putting shades together that actually work (like myself) then this palette is great for that and i've been loving using it.

Have you tried any of the new Pro Looks Palettes?

I mainly went in to see what Soap & Glory products they had left, but I wasn't holding out much hope as I knew a lot of things had already sold out but after perusing the aisles in my local Boots I saw the Soap & Glory Eau-La-La Gift Set (£16) hiding on some shelves right at the bottom (very sneaky Boots) and as it was reduced to less than £5 I knew I had to get it. It comes with minis of the Orangeasm Body Wash and Body Butter, and I think a full size of the Super Tonic, which I haven't tried so i'm happy to have that in my life. By the looks this is still available online, but you never know with their website when it comes to sales! 

Also whilst perusing around the main area of the shop, away from the sales I saw the Origins Mask Marvels Gift Set (£33.33) which was marked at £30 in store but rung up as £19.99 on the till, which I was more than happy to pay seeing as one of these masks costs £23! The set comes with the Drink Me Up Intensive Over Night Mask, the Out of Trouble 10 Minute Mask (which I swear was called something else before) and the Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask. I've only ever used one of these before, so i'm really happy to now have these and so will my skin.

I also picked up a present for my Mum's birthday as all of the fragrance gift sets are 50% still, but I couldn't really blog about it incase she reads it as I don't want to spoil the surprise. However, my local Boots still had a lot of the fragrance gift sets, all half price, some even 70% off, so go check your local Boots out!

Did you manage to get any sale bargains?

My current makeup bag is from MAC's most recent holiday collection, and my Dad/Step Mum kindly got me one, which i'm absolutely loving as it's just the right size to fit all of my day to day bits in it.

So onto the products within the bag, and a few of these have made some recent appearances on the blog but i'm still loving a lot of them. Starting with base products, and my current go to primer is the Laura Mercier Foundation Primer (£29), which I am loving so far. I haven't used it enough to really say much about it, but i've noticed my makeup is definitely lasting a little better, rather than just drying into my skin. Onto foundation, and yes i'm still loving the Bourjois 123 CC Cream (£9.99). It's the perfect everyday base that is light and just makes me look more alive in the mornings, but it also lasts really well throughout the day and just covers any blemish or dark circles. Concealer wise, i'm still loving the L'oreal Lumi Magique (£8.49) as it's work pretty well to give my skin that little glow, especially around my eye area if i'm having a pretty bad dark circle kind of day. It's not that great for blemishes, but luckily my skin is behaving at the moment. 

Onto brows and i've found the perfect combo I think, i'll usually fill in my brows with the HD Brows 'Foxy' Palette (£25) and then go over with the Benefit Gimme Brow (£17.50) to just set everything in place. I've noticed that my brows are lasting really well throughout the day and setting them has made a huge difference to their appearance. When it comes to my eyes, i'm loving just a simple winged eyeliner and mascara look, i'll sometimes whip out my Urban Decay Naked Palette (£37) but recently i've just been using the Collection Fast Stroke Eyeliner (£2.99) and then covering my lashes with the Makeup Revolution Viper Mascara* (£3). 

Onto the powder products, and i've really rekindled my love for The Body Shop Honey Bronzer (£13) as I hadn't been using it all that much recently, but i'd forgotten how much I loved this product. How I haven't hit pan on it yet, I don't know but it's just a great bronzer and would suit any skin tone. Onto blushers, and I have two on the go at the moment. The Benefit Rockateur Bronzer (£23.50) i've been using as a blush/highlight duo and then using the Milani 'Luminoso' Baked Blush (£9.71) to add a little more pink to the cheeks (and thank you to Alexandra for sending me this, I love it!). Lastly, in order to set everything in place the Vichy Dermablend Setting Powder* (£17) has been my go to. For a loose powder, it can be a tad messy but it works great and just keeps everything in place and my face from looking so shiny.
