I am so excited to be sharing this post with you guys! Recently I came across this brand, Makeup Revolution while browsing around. There are a lot of good reviews regarding this brand as it is very popular nowadays. I immediately placed an order when the craze took over me and I literally have to stop myself from buying the entire store since their products are SUPER affordable.

Introduction

MAKEUP REVOLUTION is launched in March 2014 offering budget-price products with high quality. They have a massive variety of products as they believe professional makeup should be affordable as well as accessible to all. Makeup Revolution always have something for everyone. Not everyone can afford high end products and even if we are paying more, it does not necessarily mean that it comes with high quality. 

5 Baked Eyeshadows in Chocolate Deluxe £2.50 each ( About RM13.50 )

Vivid Baked Highlighter in Peach Lights £3 each

Vivid Baked Blush  £2.50 each ( About RM13.50 )

Vivid Blush Lacquer Desire  £3 each ( About RM16 ) Vivid Blush Lacquer is a creamy liquid blush that creates a rich, long lasting vivid colour on the cheeks. There are six shades available ranging from bright pink to soft brown colours. It is packaged in a clear plastic packaging and comes with a pump to dispense the products. I will be doing a more in depth reviews about these products soon. Overall, I think they are amazing for the price I'm paying. Have you tried anything from Makeup Revolution? Which is your favourite product? I would love to know!

Did anyone went to the International Beauty Expo (IBE) 2014 at KLCC? This year's expo is a disappointment compared to last year. There were not much promotion going on and I even saw fake Too Faced cosmetics. Tsk tsk tsk. At the beauty expo, I came across this Malaysian beauty brand known as Omorose. There are not much of beauty products that are from Malaysia so I was surprised to find one that day. I actually went to the booth after seeing the cute packaging.

The co founders of Omorose are Terry Liau and Pauline Chew. They came with the name Omorose which means "Beautiful" in ancient Egyptian after being inspired by the stunning wall paintings at the Valley of Queens in Egypt. This brand uses only natural preservatives when needed  and does not contain parabens or phenoxyethanol. Omorose also claims to be a cruelty free brand where no animal testing is being done. Another point that I like about Omorose is that they are working with The Beautiful Gate Foundation for the Disabled, providing job opportunities to the disabled community. When we shop from Omorose, it means that we are helping the disabled. How meaningful is that? :)

These are what I got during the expo. The total of the products are supposed to be RM328 but it was selling for only RM130. Can you believe that?? This post is going to be lengthy and image heavy, so take a cup of coffee, sit down and relax. :)

This act as a foundation stick with sunscreen of SPF35. According to the beauty assistant, this stick acts more as a sunscreen rather than BB cream. However since it is tinted, it is still best to remove the makeup with oil makeup remover. It comes in 3 shades which are (i) Light & Fair, (ii) Fair & Medium, and (iii) Medium & Tan.

Swatch of BB Stick. It is a creamy texture that dries off to matte, powdery finish after blending.

The sunscreen foundation is easily blended on the face and finishes off with a matte, powdery finish. For coverage, it is very minimal. I have to apply few layers to cover the redness on my skin. However, with few layers, my skin starts to feel heavy and sticky.

Coverage Test

Oil control: As for oil control, I started noticing shine after 3 hours and I will need to blot it using tissue paper. This is normal for me since Malaysia is terribly hot and I tend to sweat therefore producing more sebum.

Final thought: I like that this product gave me the convenience of applying foundation and sunscreen at once. Although it does contain SPF 35, I will not entirely rely on it. This stick is perfect for usage when I'm feeling lazy and wants minimal coverage on my skin. I can also put it in my bag and take it out anytime for touch up.

This finishing powder acts as a loose powder used after foundation to set the makeup. It is formulated with Diamond Powder Lumiere to create a matte effect with a soft radiant finish. The texture of the powder is finely milled and it appears white/ translucent. After blending it out, you will have a smooth finish on your face. It is very similar to baby's powder where your skin felt smooth after usage. 

Shade: It comes in 2 shades which are Flawless and Diamond. The only difference between these 2 shades is that  Diamond has shimmer in it. However, the shimmer is really fine and does not make your face looked like a glitter ball. I tested it on my hand during the expo and it gave a natural finish. Satyn Superfine Finishing Powder does what it claim by giving a matte and smooth finish to the face. 

Omorose cosmetics is available online with free shipping to Malaysia on all orders and worldwide with orders above USD50.
