Makeup Revolution Haul

Hello gorgeous people! My name is MissHijabiViolet and I am a Makeup addict! Yes I have been shopping again,  however I am not ashamed in admitting it as I grabbed a bundle of Makeup Revolution goodies for a ridiculously low price of £21.92 (£2.95 extra for postage)!
Let's delve into my shopping haul, I warn you they are fantastic products as cheap as chips (maybe even cheaper!)
The 'I❤Makeup' section of the website was having an offer on their 'I Am Palettes'. All four palettes were available for £10 instead of the usual £20, that's £2.50 a palette! Pretty amazing considering you receive 6 eyeshadows (matte and shimmers) and a lipstick for that price. Each set comes individually wrapped (perfect for presents) and comes in a unique style of packaging where the lipstick has a built in space within the compact. Each compact has a great quality mirror and the name of the palette is printed clearly on the front, making it easy to grab the one you need! If you do decide to keep all the palettes for yourself, then there is nothing stopping you from swapping the lipsticks around if desired.
The lipsticks comes in a Barbie pink coloured packaging, matching the colour used on the palette names.
I Am In Love: 
Pink and purple shades with a light pink lipstick. 
Swatches:
I Am Naked: 
Brown and gold shades with a neutral light brown lipstick.
Swatches:
I Am Powerful:
Purple shades with a dark red lipstick.
Swatches:
I Am Sexy: 
Purple and grey shades with a bright red lipstick.
Swatches:
Swatches of all the lipsticks included in the 'I am palettes'.
I then picked up three lipsticks from 'I❤Makeup' Lip Geek range. These lipsticks are £1.99 each and come in the bullet shaped packaging similar to Mac lipsticks. These bright pink, shiny lipsticks won't be easily lost! The lipsticks feel quite light but apply to the lips with the same quality as high end lipsticks. I picked up the shades (from left to right): Dare to be Different, Ken will want me (haha) and Totally not Boring. I do have to say, I love the names!
Swatches:
Size comparison to Mac lipsticks. They are the same shape but slightly wider and taller.
I already own two of the £1 Makeup Revolution lipsticks and decided to pick up two more. I went for the colours (from left to right) Make me Tonight and Make it Right in Atomic shades. These apply very sheerly but can be built to an intense colour.
Swatches:
These are all the lipsticks ordered in this haul. I went a bit lipstick cray cray, but I love every shade!
Makeup Revolution have just brought out their new range of Pro makeup brushes. I only picked up one as I didn't like particularly like the look of most of them. This is the Eyeshadow Blending Brush and it was £1.95. I was expecting a fluffy, slightly stiff brush which would help pick up and buff in eyeshadows easily. However I was disappointed in the feel of the brush. It has a coarse texture and feels very cheap, although the brush is less than £2, it's not what I expect from a 'Pro' range. I have yet to try the brush, but just from first impressions, it's not one I would be able to recommend.
The last item I popped into my shopping basket was a liquid concealer. I am forever searching for that perfect under eye concealer that illuminates that area without creasing. I thought I would give this £2 concealer a try and if it didn't work for me I wouldn't have wasted too much money.
I picked up a very light shade (02 fair). I do like the consistency of the product, it is buildable and doesn't get cakey. I will need to try it out a few more times before giving my final verdict on it, but so far, so good. 
I I will definitely be purchasing some more Makeup Revolution products and have already got my eye on some of their new matte eyeshadow palettes! I ordered this haul from their website, but you can also purchase this brand from your local Superdrug.

Bye lovelies, until next time. Stay happy, healthy and appreciative of life. :) xxx
