Outfit and makeup of the day #1

So, I actually remembered to take a picture of my outfit today! So here is my first outfit of the day.

I didn't do much today, I just popped out to see my little cousins who I haven't seen for at least 6 years! The last time I saw them they were 3 and 4 years old, and now they are all 'grown up'!!

Anyway, here is what I wore.

I wore a fake leather jacket that I got from Primark AGES ago, literally years ago! A Bart Simpson big baggy top from H&M. And, a pair of black and dark grey stripy jeans from Republic a few years ago. I also wore a pair of black dolly shoes from Primark, the ones that are in my haul post from yesterday! They are so comfy! And despite being new they didn't rub at all. 

Briefly, the main things I used on my face were, Makeup Forever Step 1 Smoothing Primer, the Vichy Dermablend foundation, MAC Pro Longwear concealer and transparent finishing powder, MUA power brow, Benefit Gimme Brow, MUA Moziac bronzer, Maybelline Master Skulpt Contour powder, Milani Illuminating Face Powder in Beauty's Touch for blush, brown in the crease of my eye lid, a light pink shimmery colour in the center and MUR Foil Eyeshadow in Rose Gold on the inner corners, Elizabeth Arden mascara and MAC Velvet Teddy on the lips.

That's it :)

My Makeup Revolution lipstick collection and SWATCHES...

Hey everyone, so, I thought that as I recommend any MUA and Makeup Revolution lipsticks in my Makeup Starter Kit Essentials post, I thought it would be useful if I showed you my collection and swatches.

I am starting it all off by showing you my Makeup Revolution lipstick collection and swatches, as MUR is a brand that I love, it is one of my all time favourite brands, and the vast majority of the products I have used are actually amazing.

Here is a picture of all of my MUR lipsticks. Most of them are the £1 lipsticks, but 5 of them are the I Heart Makeup lipsticks that are around £2.99 each.

So, here are the swatches:

L-R: nude, the one, dusky, divine

L-R: dazzle, cheer, chic, enchant, crime

L-R: rebel with cause, dare, reckless, passion, fusion.

L-R: black heart, make me tonight, make it right, 100% vamp.

L-R: baby doll, racing heart, immoral, heart is pumping, irregular heartbeat, marshmallow kiss.

As you can see, the majority are super super pigmented despite how cheap they are! The stand out shades, in my opinion are, dusky, crime, reckless, make it right, 100% vamp and marshmallow kiss. I love most of them, but they are definitely the ones I'd recommend the most and are amongst the most pigmented.
The matte shades are a little drying, but if you apply a tiny bit of lip balm under the lipstick then it'll massively reduce this!

Overall, I will always recommend MUR lipsticks, they are so cheap, yet amazingly pigmented and the none matte shades are super creamy, yet the matte shades do look gorgeous on the lips!

You can buy them directly from the Makeup Revolution website, or from selected Superdrug stores and online.
