Revolution Contour Palette Review

Hey everyone, the day came where I ran out of my beloved seventeen conquer and contour kit *boohoo* however I like change so I thought instead of buying the same thing why not just try something new? I have fallen in love with revolution products, I haven't tried many but the ones I own I am very impressed with considering they're super cheap!
I was browsing super drug when I passed the revolution section and I noticed they had a contour palette which I haven't noticed before and it included a contour/bronze shade, a highlight and a blush which already has more than my seventeen palette did. So..."that's going straight in my basket" sorry I had to.
I've been trying it out now for a couple of weeks and I absolutely love it, especially the highlight shade, I had been using a liquid highlight and although gorgeous just wasn't working, I would use it on top of my face makeup and where it was a liquid highlight it would rub off the make up underneath leaving marks where the foundation had rubbed off and this really wasn't the look I was going for so I always wanted to get my hands on some powder highlights and now I own two I love them, this one in particular.
I also love the contour colour too and a double it up as my bronzer, this is the perfect shade. Although I loved my seventeen one sometimes the colour looked too orange if I didn't blend it in but this one is more warm which is why I think it works well, once blended my face looks all chiseled and contoured up which is what I'm going for.
As for the blush I am still undecided, I think I'd prefer it if it were more of a matte blush because it's very very shimmery and gold which I don't really think suits me especially because we've already got the highlight in this palette I don't think the blush needs to be that shimmery, but I'm still going to work with it and see if I can fall in love with it like I have done with the rest of the palette.
Overall I am very very impressed with this palette and can't wait to try out more revolution palettes because this one has exceeded my expectations!
What revolution products do you love? let me know!
see you soon,

REVIEW | Le Volume De Chanel Mascara

Hi guys, firstly a massive massive apology for not posting in like decades my laptop decided to give up on me completely so now I have to use whatever laptops around the house I can get my hands on. Apart from all the apologies I have a review for you today guys which is of one of my first high end mascaras! 

I picked up the Chanel Le Volume De Chanel mascara from the airport in Malta, at first I was skeptical about the price because as I said this was my first kind of designer make up product and I was telling myself "no izzy your rimmel glam eyes day to night mascara works just as well " but knowing me, I like a good splurge and I had some euros left so I thought why not, you only live once. 

I love it, my other drugstore mascara's work just as well but there's just something about this mascara that's different (and not just the classy packaging) okay I was drawn in a little by the BEAUTIFUL packaging, a sleek black tube with the Chanel sign, but the product is pretty good itself.
 It just seems to work wonders for my lashes. It's specifically a volumising mascara and I really feel because of the length and shape of the brush this statement is true. I have very short lashes so the brush of this mascara works with them very well because it has lots of tiny little brisles which pick up every lash and the formula which is number 10 'noir' is such a true black colour. I find that other mascaras namely drugstore ones, throughout the day they come of and turn a grey colour or some just come of completely however this one stays on all day and is really black which is what a lot of my other drug store mascaras lack, the staying power.

I picked it up for 28 euros in Malta airport and back in the UK I think it costs around £25, I'm not good with exchange rates so whether I saved money or splurged who knows but I love it none the less and is a revolutionary make up product in my make up bag. 

If any one knows any good dupes of this mascara please please pretty please let me know as it's not something I want to splurge on too often that would be much appreciated.

The Vampire Diaries | Season 5 'Home' Finale Review

Oh my goodness gracious, I am suffering from major depression from the season 5 finale of The Vampire Diaries (if you haven't seen it yet I wouldn't read this, major spoiler alert) TVD what are you doing to me, my heart feels like it's been shattered into a million pieces. 

The whole episode was an emotional roller coaster for me and I found myself reaching for the tissues more than once, let's just get it out there and mention the topic of this post, are Damon and Bonnie really dead? I am hoping and praying that they're not for my hearts sake, especially Damon, Damon has always been and always will be my favourite character of the whole show and because of his popularity would Julie Plec and the producers really kill him off? The fact that you don't actually see where Damon and Bonnie went is a complete mystery and made me pinch myself because I have to wait until October to find out, did they even get taken away in the white light, we don't know for sure which is what is really bugging me.

I'm optimistic though and I have hope, there were subtle hints throughout the whole episode which make me think 'yeah they'll be alright' for instance Grams told bonnie that she had looked out for her basically saying Bonnie will be okay so there's our first piece of evidence, secondly they make a big deal about Damon promising Elena that he'll come back for her and when has Damon ever broken a promise to Elena unless he has no choice, the producers wouldn't have made such a big deal of Damon promising this to Elena unless it had some meaning behind it, I don't know, is that just me being overly optimistic? 

We know for sure that Damon and Bonnie are going to be in season 6 because both Kat and Ian are contracted for it however we don't know in what form they'll be back, I hope to God it's not in the form of flashbacks because TVD are famous for that, I just feel Damon especially is too much of a good character to just be used in the form of a flashback. I feel there's so much unsaid as well between Elena and Damon whether this is just because I'm team Damon all the way but I really believe Damon deserves everything he wants as Stefan said in this episode that Damon was finally 'happy' 'he should be here' us fans got 3 full series of Stelena action, we've hardly got any proper Delena action, I want more from them. I truly believe they have a real strong chemistry which is exciting to watch, I'd get bored without them being together and lets face it how good would a Damon and Elena reunion scene be in season 6 after ages of Elena thinking Damon was gone forever oh my god, we can dream can't we? Of course I'd watch it still but I don't think I'll be as in to it without Damon, it won't be the same. They have to bring them back right I mean the penultimate episode we saw Stefan have his heart ripped out right in front of us and he still came back, I believe anything is possible for the producers of this show. 

Okay, let's take ourselves away from the negatives and maybes and look at some of the positive things that came out of this episode and other things that are going to need explaining. Firstly, Alaric is back *yay* I always loved Alaric (although what I loved most was the bromance between him and Damon and without Damon...well there's no bromance) I have read though that Alaric is not the same any more, he died an original vampire so he's going to have to come to terms with that so that's definitely something that needs exploring in season 6? Also are we forgetting that the whole of Mystic Falls has just been blown up from operation kaboom??!!??? where's everyone going to live so that's going to create a different dimension in season 6 they're going to be in a complete different setting unless the time gap between series 5 and series 6 is actually a long period of time in which they 'restored' Mystic Falls. However I think it'd be much more interesting if it wasn't having the characters in a place we're not so used to them being.  I'm not too sure how I feel about Enzo being back he's probably got a lot of unfinished business that we'll for sure get to see. Lastly I want to talk about Caroline, she has the potential of being with three different guys now, firstly Tyler is back (and may I point out he is no longer a hybrid) WTF MOMENT, then we have Enzo because there was definitely some form of chemistry between them both and lastly Stefan, come on it's obvious there is something there between them too, or should they just stay best friends? There's is another relationship I'm kind of sitting on the fence about, they definitely have something but I love them as friends they're like a mirror to Stefan's relationship with Lexi and that's what I love about them too, I kind of want Stefan to meet someone completely new and fall in love with her all over again like he did when he first met Elena, or maybe Katherine comes back and she's the one for Stefan because after all dopplegangers are destined to be together just maybe it was Katherine destined to be with Stefan and not Elena? but we saw Katherine being dragged into darkness but I still don't believe that's the last we're going to see of her. 

I hope you liked this review, I'd like to do a lot more reviews on here because I love writing about things I'm passionate about. 

Do you think Damon and Bonnie are gone forever? Or do you think they'll be back? 

Love ya all,
