Makeup Revolution Ultra Brow Palette...

Hey there folks,

So as is often the case with children things didn't go quite as expected yesterday, it turns out that just having one child off sick is more demanding than when they're both at home since my daughter required 100% of my time and attention. Which of course meant that there was no time left for the taking, uploading and editing of pictures, thankfully though since I already had most of this post finished I could get everything uploaded pretty quickly.

Okay so as the title suggests this post is going to be a product review of the Makeup Revolution Brow palette that I picked up in my previous makeup haul. This palette includes so much in just one product that I felt that the only way to do it justice would be to give it its very own blog post instead of putting it in with the other brow products that I picked up in the upcoming "It's All About Them Brows" Hit, Miss or Maybe blog post.

Makeup Revolution Ultra Brow Palette in Fair to Medium (RRP £7.99) 

 Holy Moly this palette has just about everything you could possibly need to achieve perfect sculpted brows in one handy dandy palette. There are 4 brow powders in shades varying from a very light brown that would be perfect for blondes, to a medium/darker brown better suited to us lighter brunettes, there are 2 brow waxes a lighter beige sort of colour and a medium brown colour to further define and tame those stubborn hairs. There is what they call an "eyebrow arch enhancing cream" which essentially does the same job as a concealer in that it it helps you to get a cleaner, sharper finish. There is a highlighter which is perfect for your brow bone (and could double up to enhance your cheek bones too), there's even a pencil to add just a little more definition. This seemingly fantabulous palette even comes with 2 teeny tiny brushes, an angled brush for shaping your brows and a more rounded brush for filling them in and softening the look (if thats what you're going for). And if that wasn't enough there's even a pair of cute little tweezers for any on the go grooming.

Pictured above are the swatches of each colour in the palette (except for the highlighter as it wouldn't show up on camera) number 1 is the concealer shade, 2,3,and 4 are the lighter brow powers and the lighter wax and numbers 5,6 and 7 are the darker powders and wax.

Okay so now that we know exactly what is in the palette lets get down to the nitty gritty and see how this baby performs shall we? Before I can tell you how well they worked I really need to show you, be prepared though you are about to see me in all my brow-less glory and it isn't a pretty sight lol.

Looking at the 2 pictures you can (hopefully) see the huge difference it makes and why I always have to fill in my brows, although believe it or not for a long time I went au-natural where my eyebrows were concerned, we all make those beauty mistakes and boy was that one of mine lol. (On a side note I always feel the need to point out that although my eyebrows are a little sparse there is actually a lot more hair than is actually visible it's just completely blonde from around my arch onwards lol).
Starting with the pro's for this palette, the brow wax is lovely and pigmented and really creamy, you really only need to dab the brush into the product very lightly and a little amount goes a very long way. The powders work really well at filling in any areas that need a little help and I am in love with the concealer which sharpens everything up and blends out beautifully with no harsh lines. The cons for the palette (although it was a little hard to find any) are that the brow wax does have a slightly auburn tone to it which may not work for everyone, although as I have a lot of red in my hair naturally it actually worked great on me. Also although the pencil is a great touch for me it was a little too creamy and I found it needed a lot of sharpening although it did still work well.

All in all I've got to say that I really love Makeup Revolutions Ultra Brow palette, not only does it have everything you need but the price is A-Maz-Ingly low, I mean less than £8 (a penny still makes it less lol) is amazing value for money, and to top it off the quality is fantastic. I would definitely recommend this palette for anyone looking for a reasonably priced "do it all" product, I will certainly be adding it to my regular makeup routine, dare I say it? it may even take the place of my long time favourite brow product the Maybelline Brow Satin pencil, the concealer just takes it into the lead for me.
Thats all for now folks, but as always Ill be back very soon, in the meantime here's a sneak peek at an upcoming blog post.

Thats right guys my May Birchbox came yesterday :) now I've just got to wait for my Glossybox (boo) which always seems like it takes forever. On a happy note though I just won the Birchbox Royally Good Giveaway (cue girly squeal of excitement) which is a pink themed beauty bumper pack worth almost £500, which of course I will be showing you guys, me and my daughter literally jumped up and down and did a happy dance when we found out (can you tell that I never win anything? lol).
On that note it's time for me to go so thank you for stopping by.
