Makeup revolution 'hot summer of love' bronzer review.

Tuesday, 13 September 2016





I absolutely love finding amazing products for dead cheap prices, so naturally when I do I immediately want to tell everyone about it, especially when its a potential dupe! makeup revolution are..is? anyway, they are a drugstore brand here in the uk and I believe they ship worldwide!


First of all, can we just take a moment to appreciate the overwhelming cuteness of the packaging? I mean come on if that doesn't scream display me on your dresser than I don't know what does.

I feel like the first thing I should address is that this is obviously inspired by the TooFaced cosmetics sweetheart bronzers and blushes which retail for around £25, makeup revolution are famous for their wide range of amazing dupes for high end products with pocket money price tags and the summer of love bronzer is no exception being sold for only £4.99! crazy right? Same price as an airport meal deal, and I defiantly know which id go for...unless it was tuna mayo, tuna mayo will always come up trumps, sorry MUR.

The furthest shade to the left is all of the shades mixed together, the furthest shade to the right however, was an accident so please ignore it haha! 


I always tend to apply shimmery bronzers on the edge of my cheek bones after I've done the rest of my makeup to finish it off, I find it gives me the nicest sun kissed glow without making me look blotchy, which btw it one of my favourite words...blotchy, am I ok?* laughing face emoji*
But, not only have I been loving this bronzer as a bronzer but Its also been great to do a quick eye look with, I'm all for the bronzed goddess look and with a light medium and dark shade I'm able to achieve that, and I must say it blends so easily, even for a newb like me!

The formulae of the bronzer is on par with the TooFaced sweetheart bronzer, it blends like an absolute dream which makes it kinda impossible to over do it and make yourself look like you did in year 9...don't deny it, it happened to all of us!

The verdict please.


For £4.99 I recommend you at least give this bronzer a go, I personally love it not just for its packaging but for the actual product as well, although I shamelessly would buy this for just the packaging, judge me!
I also believe it has a lighter shade which is just 'summer of love' for you lighter skinned beauties.



You can find the hot summer of love bronzer here.

Life update&The relationship tag!



 
HI GUYS! so a lot has changed since the last time I've posted on this blog, ive had a really tough couple of months and really took a step back from social media and it's honestly done me the world of good, although I'm super happy to be back! I started a new Instagram @clolaurenn which already has 1,500 followers, like what?! I'm not even that interesting am I? I'm also now part of a blogger group with some amazing girls in and am receiving so much love and support, I just feel  really accepted by the beauty blogger community and although I'm no zoella, I'm defiantly getting there! 


I've also just finished my first year of travel and tourism at college, I didn't excellent plan on doing 4 years of college but I really didn't enjoy my first 2 years and travel and aviation has always been a massive passion so I thought while I still had the amazing opertunity of free education I enrolled and I am loving every second of it, it feel so good to finally know what I want to do.

〰〰〰〰〰〰〰
I've decided to do the relationship tag because I want you guys to really get to know me more and my boyfriend is honestly the most important part of my life, I've never really had that close family bond with anyone apart from my grandad but I only like to tell him positive things and not bring him down, althoughI know he would 10000% be there in a heartbeat!
Anxiety and a depressive mindset can be such a heart thing to try and explain to anyone but he really tries to understand, and when he can't even try to understand he will just be there and I'm so lucky to have such an amazing soul in my life and I'm so great full to share every memory with him 

Also I know you're suppose to ask him the questions but he's so camera shy so I figured I'd just answer the questions myself!

My boyfriend is called Martin, he is 19 years old and is a self employed builder in a family run business with his cousin, I'm so proud of him for doing so well and more importantly he loves what he does! He has the biggest heart and is so family orientated which is what I love about him!

Anyway, enough of me wittering, here's the.... BOYFRIEND TAGGGGG. 

〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

*cue mastermind theme tune*


1. where did we meet? ||| we actually met the good old fashioned way and it's actually a super cute story, I'm the summer loads of groups of people from the town I live in all hang out on a big field called 'town park'... Genius name I know ahah, but anyway the field is full of groups of people having picnics, camping, singing, playing football etc and his group of friends asked my group of friend to come and sit with them, we no joke never left each other's sides from that moment and spend 26 days and nights in a row together, everyone told us 'you'll get bored of each other' 'it's the honey moon period' but 2 years on we're still insepritable! 

2. what was our first date?   ||| Our first date was to the sea life centre as he knew I loved the ocean and sea life, although I was so poorly and was sick on the way home! How embarrassing!

3. where was our first kiss and how was it? ||| Our first Kiss was... On the first day we met (sorry!) in my bed room (sorry!), no that sounds a lot worse that what it was actually like don't worry! It's was 3am and he had walked me the over an hour walk home, it was CHUCKING it down so I let him sleep in my sisters room (my family were hardly home), he gave me a kiss goodnight and waited for me to fall asleep before going to bed. 

4. did u know that he was the one || I honestly can't remember my first impressions, although I do remember trying to sneak a picture of him to show my friends which if I can find I'll insert it! I had quite low self asteem and was used to being messed around so probably not at first, after the first week or so though I knew it wasn't just a summer romance!

5. when did u meet the family ||| omg guys honestly I'm so glad this is a question! So he told me we were going to his to get his coat, I walked in and there was a massive family party, I could have literally died! They were all expecting me as well, I was so nervous but it actually turned out to be such a good night and I love them all so much now!

6. do we have a tradition ||| I have so many in my head right now! But my favourite ones are, taking a kissing selfie at 12 on New Years, watching 'how I met your mother' every Sunday morning, giving each other presents the day before our birthdays and we both Solomly (is that even the right word) to take a picture of any crocs and socks we see! 

8. what was our first roadtrip ||| So I was going away on holiday 2 weeks after we met with my god mom who's a foster career, one of her kids couldn't come at last minute so Martin came instead, so I guess Greece in 2014!

9. who said i love u first? ||| Martin said it first, he said good night every single night then one day put 'night I love you' 

10. what do we argue about the most |||  Probably over not putting things in the wardrobe for me and then for him watching YouTube videos too loud!

 Martin is answering these questions about me by himself, I'll put a y/n!


14. whats the one food dont i like || 'you're so fussy so it's easy, but chillie ' ~ Y
15. we go out to eat what do i get to drink || 'j20 and lemonaid ' ~ y
16. what size shoe do i wear ||| ' 3?' ~ Wrong, I'm a 4, although he did plead me to say he got it right!
17. if i was collecting anything what would it be ~ 'postcards' ~ Y
19. what would i eat everyday if i could ~ 'mash potato' ~y

  so that's it! Now you know all their is to know about my relash with m dawg... Joking! But I hope youve enjoyed this post and if you've got his far leave a comment below saying 'I love Moldy cheese' !:)

thanks for reading!

Sigma Mr.Bunny review.
 
 


A while ago now I managed to get my hand on these Sigma Mr bunny brush set, I had never tried any Sigma brushes before so didn't really know what to expect, they cost around £117 I believe so a bit of a pricey purchase so to help you guys I thought I'd give them a bit of a review before you splash the cash!  

Appearance.

I'm mixed on this, I mean the packaging is Beautiful, the box itself has been so well thought of and is defiantly keep worthy, especially impressed by then card 'ribbon' on the top of the box, a nice little bit of detail which gives a more expensive feel to them.
 
The brushes also look very luxury and expensive, I'm a hater of matte wood so the shine on the brushes wood makes me very happy, I'm also a big fan of the holographic print which the text is wrote in, very easy to read and so far, has lasted with no rub off!
The sigma logo is also engraved into the metal of the brush, again a small bit of detail which doesn't go un noticed. The colouring however is not AS  impressive, I just feel like black an silver is so common on a makeup brush, am I right?

Quality.

THEY'RE SO FLUFFY IM GONNA DIE! no but seriously, the quality of these brushes is amazing! I was expecting good things but they honestly exceeded my expectations, the brush quality can not be at fault.
Not one hair has fell out my brushes since I got them 3 months ago, I have also since brought another set, ( the Jaqueline Hill set) and the quality is just as good so I recommend these to anyone, yes they may have been over £100 but they will last many years and the set includes a brush for every desire so how can you not?
The holographic text on the brush has also not shown any signs of warring off, even after being thrown around in my makeup bag and in the mouth of a 4 year old.
Over all, I'm VERY impressed with the quality of these brushes.

Worth the money? 

One hundred percent yes they are worth the money, the brushes are available in blue or black I believe so a bit of choice there. They are around £117 for the set of 12 which works out around £10 per brush, slightly more than a RT brush but a lot better quality than a RT brush.
I will recommend these till the day I die so treat yourself girls and boys!:)

All things shiny, Top 2 highlight. 

 

I don't really have allot drug store highlights that I really like, I mainly love my high end one but the two I've picked to talk about I think are just as good as high end ones.  I will be showing and talking about MY PERSONAL favourite 2 drugstore highlights so you can also try them out and love them as much as I do. I will be doing these in the order they're in on the swatches, (left to right).
 

MUA undress your skin highlighter

 This highlighter is available in so many shades for the small price of £3! Its so ridiculously pigmented and gives a beautiful glowey look to the skin, it looks super nice when the light hits it.This is by far my favourite highlighter and even better than most of my high end ones, it also lasts forever, im not even close to hitting pan and I feel like I've had it forever. This should be available in most Superdrugs so if you see it be sure to pick it up. 
 

sleek hilighliger- shade 'sun goddess' 

I got this so so so long ago as a gift so im really unsure where you can purchase this but im sure if you google it there will be a way to, again as it was a gift no idea how much it was but I don't think it would of been much as it is a drug store brand. As you can see it is really pigmented and so shimmery yet still looks so natural on the skin and looks gorgeous with a tan! I feel like because you only need a small bit of highlighter they last forever which im not complaining about.

 

  I think highlighters can be so hit or miss and its quite hard to find one that matches your skin tone so I hope this was helpful for you all,  as usual also please comment opinions or any posts you would like me to do, because ill love to hear from you all!:)

thanks for reading!
