Makeup Revolution New-trals vs Neutrals Eyeshadow Palette Review and Swatches

Hi lovelies.  I have something really exciting to show today!  Just when I thought Makeup Revolution could not get any better they bring out the New-trals vs Neutrals eyeshadow palette.

I am completely blown away with this palette!  The pigmentation and creaminess of these eyeshadows are amazing!   It is also a great Fall/Autumn palette for those of you in that season but I am certainly getting a lot of use from these here right now in Spring.

L-R Row 2 - Cool, Style, Partial, Mode, Adapt, Buff, Suit and Strong.
 
The only downside of this palette is that it does not contain a matte black, other than that this is definitely one of my favourites.  It has a perfect mixture of shimmers and mattes.
You can find this online at Makeup Revolution and it is only $14.96 AUD.  If you are on a budget or just wanting to try one product from Makeup Revolution I highly recommend you pick this one up.  Run don't walk!
 
Have a great day and keep smiling.  xoxo

Le Tan Express 30 Minute Tan Mousse Review

Hi lovelies, today I thought I would review this new tan from Le Tan as when I purchased it I could not find any reviews online.  

There are two options in this express range with them being a mousse or a spray.  You can find them at Kmart, Chemist Warehouse and online at Le Tan.  They both retail for $14.99 each but I bought mine on sale for $10 at Kmart.

Le Tan Express 30 Minute Tan Mousse

With this tan you can choose the end colour by changing the amount of time you keep it on.  They state that washing it off after 30 minutes gives a bronze tan, 1 hour a deep bronze tan and if you leave it on for 2 hours you will develop a dark bronze tan.  I left the mousse on for 2 hours then washed it off.  When you first wash it off you will notice a light tan but be patient as it continues to develop over the next few hours.  For me it developed into a lovely golden brown tan and you will definitely look tanned however I do hope they come out with an even darker version.

It states that there is no fake tan smell but I really don't think any fake tan can not have that smell although this one is definitely a lot better than others.  I find this has a fresh citrus scent and after showering you can't smell anything at all.  They also say this is a green based tan so I am confused as to how the colour that rubbed off onto my tanning clothes was a reddish brown as their other green based tan Fast Tan Dark Bronze left a greenish brown mark on my clothes while developing.

So far I have been using this for a month now and love how convenient it is, no more wrapping myself up in a black satin sheet to sleep.  It's also the fastest drying tan that I have used and it is comfortable while it is on, not sticky like others I have tried.  It slowly fades over 7-10 days with the least amount of patchiness I have ever experienced and it is also really easy to scrub off.  If you like a natural fade you will only need to apply this once a week however if you like to be darker all the time you will need to apply twice a week.

Have you tried this tan and does it work for you?


Have a great day and keep smiling! xoxo
