Make Up Revolution // My Shopping List

Make Up Revolution are a relatively new brand to me, and they've been flying about the bloggersphere like a very confident butterfly - they're just everywhere! I'm still yet to get my hands on anything, but I thought I'd show you what I'm going to order as soon as my student loan comes in...

Ultra Blush And Contour Palette, 'Sugar And Spice', £6 // I love the idea of having multiple blushers and contour shades in the same palette - I personally am stuck in a rut of using the same blusher every day, as the thought of going and spending money on a new one that may or may not suit me just annoys me. There's a lovely range of colours in this palette, and I especially love the bottom right "galaxy effect" one! click here

Inner Eye Brightener, £2.50 // While this is essentially just a nude eyeliner, that's something I don't actually own (faux pas?)! Plus this one is designed for brightening the inner parts of the eyes, so I feel it might do the trick a little better than anything else could. click here

Amazing Lipstick, 'Depraved', £1 // The colour of this lipstick both terrifies and excites me; I'm desperate to stray from typical pink shades, and even though this lilac will probably look horrendous against my skin tone, for a mere pound I'm willing to give it a go! click here

Ultra 32 Shade Eyeshadow Palette, 'Flawless', £8 // I'm not the best when it comes to eyeshadows, and while I do own the Naked Palette, I tend to save that for special occasions as I don't want to hit pan any time soon. This palette contains all the tones I love, and the ones that suit my skin tone. There are so many looks to be created with these colours that it would be stupid not to buy it! click here

So that's my Make Up Revolution shopping basket for the time being, although I'm sure as loan day creeps up there'll be a few more bits and bobs in there! If you have any recommendations, let me know in the comments or over on Twitter - follow me, @katygilroyblog

My Make-Up Wish List // August 2014

I don't own a particularly large amount of make-up and there's always something I'm lusting after, so I thought I'd put together a "wish list" showing you the make-up I want at the moment. I might make this a regular thing or I might not... we'll see.

1 // Le Rouge Givenchy Lipstick, £25. I already own a Givenchy lipstick from the same line which was a birthday present for my 18th last year - and it is amazing. It's definitely the best lipstick I own; the creamy formula and the longevity of it as well as the pigmentation are all just perfect, and it smells nice. The one I have is a coral shade, but there are so many I'd buy if I had the money.

2 // Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Duo Kit, £24.50. I love Bobbi Brown make-up, and this concealer kit looks great with the complementing powder to go with it. From the reviews I've seen it's really good, and I think it's definitely a fab idea. I might have to purchase this soon...

3 // Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette, £37. My boyfriend bought me the original Naked Palette for my birthday as he knew how much I wanted it - and after playing around with it, I've fallen in love with all the colours and the formula of the eyeshadows. Knowing how amazing the first one is only makes me want the 3rd one more!

4 // Benefit Gimme Brow, £17.50. My eyebrows are soooo light that I have to get them tinted, or dye them myself, for them to even be visible - plus they're quite sparse for whatever reason. I definitely think this product would work wonders for me.
