Revolution: Fortune Favours The Brave.

HHey loves, I'm gonna show you my newest eyeshadow palette from Make Up Revolution | Fortune Favours The Brave. That is a name full! I got it at www.boozyshop.nl for €14,95. As some may know, I really want to own some Naked palettes, MAC products.. like the high make up brands that we see 24/7 on Instagram and Tumblr but again money is a big issue here so I just can't afford make up like that and sometimes I do get jealous of some, even younger people who have lots of them. Now you may think, than you have to work harder bla di bla but my friend, I wish I could but because of my personal shitty problems I just can't and of course I try to save money but I'm 23 I also need to save for my future and I still live at home so I pay for groceries too, also I got bills to pay haha but lets move on to this palette..

Look how pretty they are, I love the gold marble look! Normally I only wear nude/gold/brown eye shadow but when I saw this palette for that price I had to buy it and try out the blue/green ones! I need to experiment with other colours too. I won't use the eye shadow brush that they attached because in my opinion the hairs are too long on the brush and it kinda - okay the palette is cheap but - the brush feels cheaper haha I'm not feeling it maybe only for some crease shading but not like for applying it onto my eyelids.

Here are some swatches of the colours I thought were the prettiest!

I've tried the three blue eye shadows for the first time, I used Midnight Rainbow -Transformer & Skylight and I was pretty amazed by how it turned out! It looked good but when I touched my eyelid very softly because it was itchy I immediately saw that my finger wiped off some blue so I won't be touching my eyelids anymore :p.

And here is my look with the green eye shadows, I used Smoothie - Green Machine & Yes Please to create this look. I thought the blue and green colours would look very weird or clownish but they don't! I'm not sure if I would use green again, I really don't have clothing that match with it or something. I like the blue better for smokey eyes but only for 'special' days cause for me this is too much for daily wear. I don't know if I will ever touch the purple ones because purple is so not my colour haha but who knows .. for now I think I'm gonna stick with the gold/brown/rose gold/nude colours.

Boozy Cosmetics Brush Set.

Hey loves, it's been a long time and I've said multiple times that I would be back soon but unfortunately it took a little bit longer, that is because I have some personal problems and I really didn't feel like blogging I just had no energy for it but I do kinda have now and I really missed it so I will be blogging again but not as much as I used to, just taking baby steps!

I'll be reviewing my newest brushes from Boozy Cosmetics, This is my very first brush set! I just used cheap brushes which I used for a long - long time and I really wanted to buy Zoeva brushes but, you know € .. It's just a lot of money. So when I saw these brushes I thought.. Oh well lets buy these ones! They were in sale from €50 or €60 for €30 I bought them at www.boozyshop.nl. To be honest I don't even know this brand but I thought they looked really pretty and I looked up some reviews and the reviews were good so, why not?! Also I'm not a make up brush expert since I only used cheap ones so they had to be better than the ones I used compared to the price haha. It also comes with a cute brush bag :)

From left to right:

I only used a brush for bronzer, high lighter brush, two eye shadow brushes and one for contouring my nose - before I had this set, so from only using five small brushes to ten -big- brushes is like wow, allot haha! But I can't use them all since I don't use powder make up, I don't use eyebrow powder and I don't use gel liner but I do can use the gel liner brush for eye shadow to create a soft eyeliner look! But maybe in the future I will try out some eyebrow powder! I do really need to buy me some face powder though .. what is a good powder? Any recommendations?

Unfortunately there isn't a 'normal' eye shadow brush, only a crease shader and a soft blender so I have to use my old eye shadow brush. I also mis a high lighter brush that means I also have to use one of my old brushes too which is okay but I hoped they would add those in this set too. I just realized that they sell more sets haha. (Note: I ordered a High lighter brush / Basic eye shadow brush and Lip brush) My brush set will be complete. I also don't use blush so I'm okay with having no blush brush haha!

The hairs of the brushes are very soft and the hairs are not too long in my opinion but hey I'm not a brush expert as I said earlier so I have no idea what the perfect brush looks/feels like. These brushes are synthetic, anti bacterial and hypoallergenic. I haven't washed them yet but once I do I will update this blog post, I was too excited to show you my new brushes first! I find them fine to work with, they look really pretty and they didn't cost that much :) Can't wait to use the other 3 brushes that I've ordered and add them to my set!

Note: I still have to experiment with my camera for better quality/shots. So I'm sorry if the pictures don't look perfect.
