Hi everyone, my name is Lori and I'd like to welcome you to Beauty on a Budget. I want this to be a place where you can not only find affordable makeup products, but ones that are of good quality, because what's the point of paying less for something, if it's awful?
For this first post, I'd like to tell you about a brand some of you may not have heard of, Makeup Revolution. They are a brand out of the UK, but they have some items that you can find in Ulta stores here in the states, although it's very limited at this time.
I have recently purchased several items from their UK website, shipping is around $12, so it's better to wait and place a large order. However, the first item I'm going to show you is one that I did purchase from Ulta, and that is the The Matte Blush, in the shade, Fusion.
I am in love with this blush, it's highly pigmented, so you really have to be careful not to go overboard with it, and it lasts all day on me. I think this shade would be very flattering on many skin tones, it's a peach shade, slightly warm, but not too orange, it's a beautiful color for spring and summer.
It does look slightly lighter and pinker in the photos than what it truly is, but the swatch is very true to color. These were all shot in natural light, and I am very fair complected.
I do plan on picking up a few more colors in the future, right now they have 6 shades available.
