Ooops! I went shopping and had to pick up a few make up bits as I don't have as many neutral eye-shadows as I used to after losing my Naked Palette! (It was a sad day... I'm slowly recovering...)
I popped into Superdrug and had a look at some of the more affordable palettes as I'm scared of losing my make up again to be honest... and as you can see brought a couple of other goodies too!
I had a look at MUA after purchasing their 'Pretty Edge Luxe' palette (below) a few months back, which was a steal at only £8. (It was definitely the studs on the case that drew me to it!)
Unfortunately, I couldn't see any that I liked.
I then noticed the Revolution stand which I think is a new addition to my Superdrug store. They had a lot of choice for eye palettes and I was stuck which to choose!
I finally decided on this one which is the Redemption Palette Iconic 2:
I chose this one as instead of the usual square and circular shape of colour in most palettes, these are more rectangular and it looks like there is more product.
There probably isn't at all, but I like to think so! This baby was a mere £6 which to me is a bargain for 12 shades.
As you can see from the swatch above, some are definitely more pigmented than others, but are all really easy colours to wear. I think a few of these will certainly become firm favourites, but will let you know how I get on with them as it seems the metallic ones need a few coats to build it up, and the light colour on the far left was quite chalky and had a bit of fall out.
Secondly, I picked up this little gem, also from the Revolution stand. The thing that made it stand out to me was the fact it is Rose Gold, and looked interesting as I was unsure as to why there was a little bottle of liquid inside the box. It's from their Awesome Metals Foil Finish collection.
So apparently what you are meant to do is... put some of the liquid primer with the rose gold shadow into the tray they provide you with, mix it up and then use.
And this is the result...
I LOVE THIS!!! What makes it better is that it was only £5. Bargain!
This was with only one layer, but it says you can build it up. Darn lights don't show the colour very well. But I intend to wear this lots as its sooo pretty, so will do a FOTD with it soon.
The last make up item I brought was the Bourjois Delice de Poudre bronzer. I only have a crumpled mess left of my Bobbi Brown bronzer, and decided I really should get a new one but wanted a change.
I used to use this one all the time back in the day, and the fact it smells of chocolate (albeit faintly...) makes me happy. I also like that the shimmer is very minimal as I can use it to contour too.
I also brought some new dry shampoo and hairspray from the Urban Fudge range as they are on special offer in Superdrug at the moment and I needed new ones anyway. I am going to do a review on these so I wont tell you about these here!
As you can also see (sneaky sneaky!) I also went a bit crazy in Lush... There will be a Post dedicated to these goodies in a few days. :)
Have you brought any new items recently that you love?
Much Love,
