Shadow Swatch Review.

M A K E U P   H A C K   O R    W A C K ?

So if you're anything like me, the thought alone of cleaning your brushes makes you want to chuck them all in the bin and start fresh, am I right? cleaning brushes is an absolute chore and to this day I am yet to meet anyone that actually gets a kick out of it, and if you're reading this and you do, then how much do you charge per hour? hashtag, slide into my dm's.

what also makes me want to bang my head against the door is when my all time favourite blending brush, shoutout to you morphe 330, is still covered in bright pink shadow from yesterday makeup...but could there be a simple solution?

Ladies, Gents, I may have found our knight in shining armour. . .
 I was lucky enough to be sent the beauty essentials 'Shadow Switch' by the guys at DEE&CO and after trying it out for myself I couldn't wait to tell you all about it!

 Before I get into it please be aware that the shadow switch I received does have the old packaging but I shall insert some pictures of the snazzy new packaging at the end for you to feast your eyes on.

Now, I could witter on for ages about how this works and what to do but honestly, its so newb friendly and easy to use that all you have to do is swirl your brush in the black insert and bobs your uncle, a clean brush ready to carry on using.

I decided to really put this to the test and try cleaning different brushes with different coloured eyeshadows on to see how clean they get, although obviously this is not an alternative to deep cleaning your brushes, to completely remove colour stains  your brushes will still need to be deep cleaned regularly.

THE VERDICT PLEASE.

I mean, the photos show themselves how great this product is, the shadow switch wont remove the staining on the brush from the eyeshadow but It does remove 100% of the actual product and previous build up so you can go from a bright pink to a cream without any worry of the colours blending.

I absolutely think this is a beauty essential and every makeup lover needs one, especially when they cost as little as £5.99!

All of the life hack Beauty Essentials products will soon be available on Sephora and on their own website but until then you are able to buy the shadow switch  here. and I highly recommend that you do!

Makeup revolution 'hot summer of love' bronzer review.

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.
