Drugstore dupe of the Naked 3 palette!♡








Recently I have become super impressed, with this new brand called 'Makeup Revolution' that came to my local superdrug. Not only are their products amazingly cheap but their quality is better than I expected. I'm hoping to buy more products from this brand in the future and reviewing them, but for today I will be talking about their eyeshadow 'Redemption' palette called Iconic 3. Although I don't own the Naked 3 palette, it has come to my attention that the colours are very similar and the brand in general comes out with products that are clear dupes, packaging wise as well as quality wise.

What I was really positively surprised by was the pigmentation of these colours, even though I went over the swatches twice just so you can see it better on the picture, you do not need a lot of the product because it shows easily on the eye lid. The palette has a mixture of matte as well as shiny shades, ranging from a cream colour, to pinks, soft browns and purple shades. This palette is defo something I would use for going out somewhere but a natural look can also be achieved.

To summarise:

-You can buy this palette in superdrug
-It is only £4
-Very similar to Naked 3 palette
-Amazing pigmentation and quality
-Comes with a double sided brush
-I would definitely recommend it

Have a good day x

My 2015 resolutions!♡


Heeeeeeey!
First of all, happy new year everyone! I hope this year
brings you happiness and joy and I hope you all reach
your goals or stick to your resolutions 
and I hope you always have a smile on your face!



I was a bit sceptical about writing this post because I don't always stick to my new years resolutions but I figured that posting it on my blog may give me a motivation boost! I set myself resolutions and goals each year however they don't always quite go to plan...for example I have not done exercise at least 3 times a week in 2014 and I have not drank 2 bottles of water daily. BUT this year I am trying my hardest to change myself for the better. So, yeah maybe it is the 9th day of the new year and I haven't stuck to any of my resolutions YET but it's never too late to start right?!

Here are my resolutions/goals:

1. Be healthier 
I'm 99% sure pretty much every person has this as their resolutions and I'm not going to lie, this is a recurring one for me too. Now by 'healthy' I don't mean literally cut out every thing that may be bad for me out of my diet (I'm not giving up on Taco Bell just yet) but it means I want to eat healthier foods plus keep ones I already eat so I'm going to attempt eating my 5 a day and drinking a lot more water!

2. Do more exercise
Another typical resolution, am I right? I have to say I'm quite motivated to do a lot more exercise this year and to get to the body weight as well as image as I want! Fingers crossed I stick to this.

3. Be happier; no more negativity!
This just says it all really. I just want to be positive and stop thinking negatively about anything because there's is always a light at the end of the tunnel!

4. Have more 'me' time 
Seeing as this year will be so stressful with exams and everything in general, I have to remember to sometimes just relax and listen to music and do some yoga or stretching or just sit down with a good book and a cup of tea.

5. Revise more
As I mentioned earlier, I'm currently in the year of doing my GCSE's and if I want to leave with all A's I have to get my head down and concentrate on my school work.

6. Stop procrastinating
I am honestly the queen of procrastination and I definitely have to learn to stop if I want to stay more focused this year.

7. Blog Blog Blog
This year I'm going to try and keep up an active blog; post regularly and with higher quality content. Unfortunately now I cannot provide this blog with high quality because I just don't have the time and I can only take good pictures on the weekends before it gets dark which is quite difficult, seeing as I struggle with blog post topics often.

8. Confidence
Being quite a shy and quiet person, it is my goal this year to be more confident and believe in myself.

These are my main resolutions and goals, I do have a lot more but I want to mainly focus on these 8.
Now for the smaller goals for this year:

  • Get a tan (I can never tan for some reason, maybe this year will be my lucky year)
  • Eat out in restaurants more often
  • Make new friends; meet new people
  • Go to at least 3 concerts/show
  • Make a memory jar for 2015
  • Decorate my room exactly the way I want it
  • Start saving up money for driving lessons/a car 
  • Random acts of kindness



Thank you for reading!
QOTD: What are some of your resolutions for 2015?
Have a great weekend X
