Autumn browns, vibrant oranges and winterly purples oh my. Ranging from smokey eyes to simple neutral classic looks, pick and mix to the max. I love Revolution for the high-quality pigments and low costs. Honestly, would you rather a £40 naked palette with only 12 colours all the same or a £10 soph palette with 18 marvellous colours? Is that really a question?
If you said the £40 one: either you're a die-hard fan of high-end makeup or you're a snob. Maybe both.
--- btw I do have the naked heat and third one---
---hehe, sorry I'm just your typical beauty guru---
Packaging
Outer:
Rusty rose gold background, the name is in a yellow beige and writing in black.
Inner:
Rose gold top into a light rose bottom and writing inside the palette. Massive mirror, whole side and luckily this time the names on the palette instead of a plastic sheet like her first one.
Eyeshadow
6 shimmers and 12 mattes; perfect to give a wide range of looks- both basic and complex.
Everyday (shimmer) -> baby pink shimmer, perfect for inner corner to brighten eyes.
Vitamin C (matte) -> beautiful yellow that's not too harsh on the eyes.
Brownies (matte) -> deep brown, great to create a line around the lash line for autumn so its soft and smooth instead of black.
Running Late (matte) -> sweet orange, beautiful over the lid with 'Brownies' in the crease (a very autumn-inspired look).
Sweet N Sour (matte) -> burnt orange, I've used it in a sunset look with 'Vitamin C' and 'Twenty One', it also enhances green eyes.
Chocolate Orange (matte) -> a light brown with an undertone of orange, very cutesy.
Infinity (shimmer) -> very shimmery silver, great choice for the inner corner of the lid.
Twenty-One (matte) -> bright bold pink, when I first saw it I didn't think I would like it but trying it out it's actually one of my favourites now.
Mulled Wine (matte) -> plum purple, star striking look if in the crease with 'La Sun' in the lid.
Cheesecake (matte) -> red undertoned brown, defo beauty with 'cookie dough' and perfect for school/work.
Romance (shimmer) -> absolutely beautiful deep mix of red and purple, lovely colour with almost every colour in the palette.
La Sun (shimmer) -> gorgeous golden yellow, could brighten any look.
Cookie Dough (matte) -> caramel brown, very simple but can be used with any colour.
Enchanted (matte) -> deep purple, perfectly combined with 'dreams' to create a winter look.
Aurora (shimmer) -> playful green, best for green/hazel eyes to brighten them.
Dreams (shimmer) -> rose gold shimmer, ready to jazz up any look and still great for a natural look too.
Lakes (matte) -> khaki green, great for a smokey look with 'reputation' in the outer crease corner, 'brownies' in the crease and 'lakes' on the lid.
Reputation (matte) -> because every decent palette needs a highly pigmented black- thank the angel. I've tried many black eyeshadows that are dusty and barely there but this one isn't.
Price-
£10 -> cheap yet still beautifully pigmented and wide range of colours. One of the many reasons I love Revolution.
WOULD RECOMMEND!

Hellooo!!! The Internet, Skyeina here. By now you would have thought I would have done at least one skincare post but I haven't. This will be my first and probably last because my skincare routine doesn't really change that much, in less, they discontinue it, and I honestly don't know how useful these posts actually are but here we go-
1) Cleanser
For my cleanser, I use the body shop Aloe Calming Cream Cleanser because I have very sensitive skin, and unlike some I've tried, it doesn't tug at your skin. It goes onto your skin very smoothly and you really don't need much to get the effectiveness of smooth, clean, and fresh skin.
2) Exfoliator
For my exfoliator, I use the body shop Seaweed Pore-Cleansing Exfoliator because I have oily skin, and you can also you use it if you have combination skin. Once again, the body shop is just the best when it comes to non-tugging products. It has small beads throughout, and they are tiny but very effective. I exfoliate 2-3 times a week due to my oily skin as its more needed. The exfoliator is extremely gentle as long as you use it as you're supposed to.
3)Toner
For my toner, I use both the Aloe and Seaweed ones because I have one at my dads, and one at my mums. However, I don't ever see the difference that toner makes due to the fact my cleanser and makeup remover are both good enough at removing makeup, and my pores aren't that bad and if need be I can just soak my face it cold water. Honestly, I just bought it because it was 3 for 2.
4) Moisturizer
Once again, I use both the Aloe and Seaweed ones because I always used to use the whole Seaweed collection, however, slowly the body shop discontinued them and as a result, I started to use the Aloe Sensitive Skin.
The Seaweed Oil-Control Gel Cream is good, however, I found it didn't last that long but not many moisturizers do. It did work and my oily skin was better but I'm careful with what moisturizers I use because I always worry about using the wrong moisturizer and making it worse but it did the trick.
The Aloe Day Cream is truly soothing and super soft but I haven't used it as much as the Seaweed Oil-Control one due to the fact I've had that one longer.
4) Makeup Remover
If you don't know what my favourite makeup remover is you should go over to my youtube channel because its always in my favourites. Literally, I have tried every single one of the range.
The Garnier Micellar Water is soo good and the makeup comes off straight away.
So, they were my skincare essentials for autumn and if you have any skincare recommendations let me know in the comments or email me at skyeinaxox@gmail.com

Hellooo, The Internet!!! The NARS Sheer Glow Foundation is one product that has been blogged about over and over along with appearing frequently in vloggers monthly favorites. This foundation is many beauty guru's holy grail foundation but after trying it I ask myself is the Nars Sheer Glow Foundation worth all the hype surrounding it? Most definitely.
Coverage-
It is the right amount to cover those horrible blemishes but not super cakey like some foundation.
Packingaging-
Elegant, simple and beautiful with a black matte lip, however I would prefer if it had a pump instead as I do find it's easier that way as you get the amount you want so you don't end up with the foundation flowing out and having to waste the foundation (little that there is) on rubbing it off on a towel.
Finish-
Like all foundations, I recommend using a primer or it looks cakey or powdery which neither is a good look and this foundation is no exception, however, wore with the right primer it creates a glowy finish (hence the name).
Longevity-
This foundation along with a good primer and setting spray is extremely long lasting plus I do bake which I highly recommend. Even with my oily skin, it lasts all day.
Skin Type-
It is branded as for dry skin but I have oily skin and it works for me with the process that I use.
Shade Range-
It comes in 19 shades for both dark and pale skins.
Applying-
The foundation is very much on the liquidy side of foundation and is super easy to apply and blend. In the case of this foundation a little really does go a long way depending on your coverage preference. Of course, like all my favourite foundations I recommend using either a beauty blender or a real techniques miracle sponge.
Price-
The foundation goes for £32 and yes it is a good foundation and if you have the money buy it but there isn't any need to save up for it as you can get as good/better foundations from the drugstore at a decent price such as the Revlon Colourstay Foundation.

Hellooo!!! Today, I'm reviewing the NYX Vivid Brights which is a product I absolutely love to use for decoration on the eyes.
The packaging of the eyeliner is very similar to the NYX Matte Liquid Liner but whatever the color is at the bottom.
The formula is creamy and turns matte once it dries. It can be long lasting as long as you don't go over the eyeliner more than twice or it goes crispy and cracks which we definitely don't want other than that the formula is good.

My favorite color is 'Envy' because it brings out the green in my hazel eyes. 'Envy' is a bottle green color and it works beautifully for simple looks and colorful looks. The Vivid Brights collection has 9 different colors ranging from pastel pink to deep purple to muted orange and comes at the price of £5.50 each.

Hellooo!!! The Internet, as you may know the Naked palettes by Urban Decay are owned by most beauty gurus; its like a becca highlight but for eyeshadow. There are many different Naked palettes but I do love a bit of rose gold, so of course I got the Naked 3 palette but do I think its worth the hype???
Side note: the packaging is absolutely gorgeous from the box to that damn palette like I would normally get rid of packaging but I just can't.
There are 12 different shades (mainly with a pinky undertone) from mattes to pearls to metallics. The shades range from beautiful pink to brown with a hint of pink nudes and the darkest (and most interesting) colour is a black with red micro-glitter (colour name- Darkheart)
My favourites for daily use are Dust, Limit and Liar because Limit looks effortlessly amazing in the crease, Dust brightens up your inner corners and Liar is a shimmer which brings attention to the middle of the eye (when placed there which I love doing). In the end, you look like a freaking Goddess who just woke up to slay the day.
But, is it worth it???
Most definitely, I would save up for it because it is worth it. Its just a bit expensive (actually quite expensive) its £39 however, its very pigmented and just in general gorgeous whether your a beginner or like me or even a makeup artist I would say its worth the price.
If there is anything else you would like me to review let me know in the comments or email me at skyeinaxox@gmail.com

Hellooo!!! The Internet, Skyeina here. Today, I'm reviewing one of my favourites: the Sleek I-divine eyeshadow palette 'Oh So Special'.
Organza - I absolutely love using this to complete an eye look; it is a shimmering pink.
Ribbon - is the deeper pink than Pamper and I mostly use this to contour my eyes.
Gift Basket - this is a great shimmer colour to autumn up those eyes; Gift Basket is a cinnamon colour with an amazing amount of sparkle.
Glitz - is a beautiful blue with a shine to it and I love put Glitz and Organza together to make a metallic look.
Celebrate - I love to put this in the very centre to make the focus on my eyes; it is purple to darken those eyes.
Pamper - is the lighter version of Ribbon and I use this as an over the lid colour to highlight and brighten.
Galexo - I always have to chose between Galexo and Organza because there are both fantastic shimmers but Galexo has more of a lilac tone.
The Mail - is a yellow-brown colour which I use for my crease.
Boxed - this is my go-to crease contour colour because it's a matte brown which is darker than Wrapped Up.
Wrapped Up - is a light brown matte colour which is great to create more dimensional crease.
Noir - I use this colour to darken my eyes to make my lips and eyes stand out; Noir is a black matte.
So that's all and if you would like me to review any other makeup let me know in the comments.

Sleek I-Divine Palette Review- Vintage Romance
Hellooo!!! The Internet, Skyeina here. Today, I'm blogging about a new favourite eyeshadow of mine. The eyeshadow palette is by a brand called Sleek; Sleek is high-quality drugstore makeup- in my opinion- however, it's not the cheapest of drugstore makeup. On the other hand, I believe is worth the money and I will be doing more on sleek as it's my favourite brand.
So, on this blog post I will be doing a review and on my YouTube channel I am doing eye makeup that you can do with the palette.
Colours-
Pretty in Paris- is a white shimmer colour which even shows up on my pale skin and makes an excellent base colour for a blank canvas effect.
Meet in Madrid- is a golden toned shimmer colour with brings a glow to the pale skin like mine.
Court in Cannes- is a brown toned green shimmer colour which is unique and beautiful.
Lust in LA- is greener toned than Court in Cannes.
Romance in Rome- is a blue shimmer colour; yes it's blue but looks marvellous and there is another blue in this palette.
Propose in Prague- is a brown colour but with less of a shimmer, therefore, makes it useful for the cease.
A Vow in Venice- is a deep purple with slight shimmer.
Marry in Monte Carlo- is a very shimmery colour with an undertone of purple.
Honeymoon in Hollywood- looks the same kind of purple as a Vow in Venice but appears with a tone of deep rose pink when applied.
Bliss in Barcelona- this is the other blue; however, its has a slight purple and deeper blue tones.
Forever in Florence- is a brown toned black with shimmer, making it look like a deep grey.
Love in London- is a highly pigmented black with shimmer in it, making it look like the sky in winter; now that is probably why its Love in London.
So, if you want me to do any more beauty reviews let me know in the comments.

Sleek Highlighting Palette Review
Hellooo!!! The Internet, Skyeina here. Today, on my blog I am doing a makeup review of the sleek highlighting palette and on my youtube channel will be my tutorial.
As usual, the packaging is the same expect unlike the others it is a reflexive gold not a solid black - I just adore the case.
Ecliptic - is the top left and its a creamy highlight with a nude base ,therefore, for some people it maybe their skin colour but I'm extremely pale.
Hemisphere - is the top right and it's a lovely lavender colour with extremely high pigmentation ; it lightens up your face beautifully.
Subsolar - is the bottom left and its an amazing vanilla highlighter with the perfect amount of shimmer.
Equinox - is the bottom right and it is a champagne peachy colour which has an undertone of gold to make you glow and it is filled with sparkle.
If there are any other makeup products you want me to review let me know down in the comments.

H&M Makeup
Hellooo!!! The Internet, Skyeina here. Today I'm blogging about my shocking experience in H&M; so I was in town with a big sis and she told me about how amazing H&M's makeup is and at first I didn't believe her but thought I might as well see what the hype was all about-
She was right.
We spread over an hour in there, swatching all the products, I was surprised how pigmented they were and my god the colours were beautiful. From autumnal purples to Christmas reds to classically pinks to brown toned nudes.
The highlights were intense sparkle from light tones to dark they had a range and each as pigmented as the others.
If you have any other brands you want me to review comment down below.

Hellooo!!! The Internet, Skyeina here. Today, I’m blogging about the differences between lip balm, lipstick and lip gloss. Isn’t irritating when boys don’t know the difference between lipstick, lip balm and lip gloss??? Annoying – think they’re the same- , even more annoying- think they know- , and most annoying – think it’s stupid. We don’t have to put up with it so:
The Difference Between Lipstick, Lipgloss and LipBalm
Ways to stop this –
· Explain
· Tell them to Google it
· Ignore
· Show
Explain
Lipstick is usually an opaque colour. Lipsticks can be matte, shimmer or sparkle. Lipstick is best for colour that makes a bold statement to make your lips the standout feature whereas…
Lip Gloss are good if you prefer to do more with your eyes, but still want your lips to look good. It makes your lips shiny, they can sometimes be coloured, or have some shimmer or sparkle in them, and they also can be scented (Lip balms are the most likely to be scented).
Lip balms are the best if you just want natural lips, but also want the moisture, heal or protect your lips. Lip balm usually has no colour (go for lipstick), but some of them have some shimmer or a light tint (go for lip gloss)
Tell them to Google it
Define Lipstick- Tell them to Google it
Noun: lipstick; plural noun: lipsticks
Coloured cosmetic applied to the lips from a small solid stick
Define Lip gloss-noun
Noun: lip gloss; noun: lip glossesA cosmetic applied to the lips to provide a glossy finish and sometimes colour.
Define Lip balm-noun
Noun: lip balm; plural noun: lip balms; noun: lip balm; plural noun: lip balmsA preparation applied to soothe sore or cracked lips
Ignore
At the end of the day, they will probably have forgotten and moved on.
Show

Well, I have at least one lip balm, one lip gloss and one lipstick. Don’t you??? If you do you can use the explanation and show the lip products on you or them (J hahaha)
Hopeful, this guide has helped you explain to one of your friends the important differences of lip products.
