Makeup Revolution Unicorns Unite Lipstick Collection

Make-up Revolution has taken over the beauty and blogging world since it's release and form I can see they seem to have more new releases than hot dinners coming out of their offices!
Say hello to another fun and funky lipstick collection - Unicorns Unite.
I mean, nowadays, who isn't a fan of pretty unicorns, fun shades and something a little out of the norm!
This 5 shade collection isn't something I would usual go for colour wise (minus Myth... that's so up my street!) but I've actually fallen in love with Throne and Legend and with Halloween just around the corner these colours could be a fabulous last touch on a spooky or out of this world costume!

Zoella Beauty Kissy Missy Lip Balm & YouTuber Success Talk

When Zoe Sugg announced another collection being added to her 'Zoella Beauty' range I was all ears!
 I had bought a couple of bits from the first collection and really enjoyed them and hearing that this range was 'tutti frutti' made me definitely open to trying it out as it sounded right up my street (I'm all about scents, especially when they are sweet!).
After I had watch Zoe's video on her new releases I decided that the lip balm 'Kissy Missy' had my name all over it!
 I'm a big lip product person.... it's kind of embarrassing how many I own when I only have one mouth.... but this little pot looked lovely and I like having tinted lip balms in the summer - lipsticks melting is just heartbreaking.

The pot is small - obviously - a little larger than a carmex pot and is a plain, clear plastic apart from the lid which has the name and branding.
 The scent is nice, I've been trying to figure out what it smell similar too and for the life of me I can't work it out.... I'm rubbish I know!
Now the colour. I'm so impressed with the colour! I thought maybe, for the cheap price of £3, this might be really sheer and a bit like a nivea lipbalm or rose vaseline, but I was wrong. 
This is a bright bublegum fuchsia shade and is really buildable, although it doesn't take alot to give yourself fun kissy wissy lips!
I've been using this after my lush bubblegum scrub and my lips have felt so soft and smooth with a cute pop of colour!

For the price this is great, a handbag must for me this summer!

Now.....while I'm on the subject quick I just wanted to chat about Youtubers and their many deals and partnerships that seem to be happening weekly.
To be honest that I'm kind of getting fed up of people moaning about Youtubers having these opportunities - if it was you, you would leap at the chance (I know I would) - I really don't see the problem in these ranges and internet personalities making money on merch/own brands.

Don't want it - don't buy it, but whats the point of saying these people 'don't deserve it' or 'they just want the money' it is their job at the end of the day of course they are going to try and make money. 
The internet is so fickle and people, including Zoe, don't know when their time will be up - I don't blame them for taking everything they can while the chances are there.
 This blog and doing a few youtube videos here and there takes up so much of my time and I put alot of effort into it so I can imagine how much work people like Zoe have to put into everything they are achieving! My thoughts - You go girl! 
You may not agree with how I feel about it but that's life, we all have our different thoughts, it's kind of how to world works my loves!

Love you guys, thank you again for visiting A Yellow Brick Blog whether you are re-visiting or here for the first time - you rock! xoxo

POTW #30 : Make-Up Revolution Salvation Intense Lip Lacquer - Gave You All My ove

Woop woop it's my first POTW of September and today its a pretty pink lip colour - I own about 137309 pink lip products so when one makes it onto the blog you know it's a gooden!
 I've talked about Make-Up Revolution many times before on A Yellow Brick Blog, I'm a big fan of their products and the seriously reasonable prices! The quality of their stuff is always top ntoch and rivals all the other drug store brands out there!

This is one of the more "expensive" lip products from MUR, with lots of their lipsticks being £1 these seem slightly steep at £3.... but really I needed to have strong word with myself thinking £3 was alot for this!

This Salvation Intense Lip Laquer, for me. is a total mix between Barry M's lipglosses and Rimmel Apocalips. (Two of my ultimate favs)

The consistency is smooth, and thick but non-sticky and glides on easy to give a bright and bold colour in seconds - I love bubblegum pinks (all year round) and this has got to be one of my favourties in my collection!

This has been living in my handbag for the last couple of weeks, it's perfect for everyday wear, I love it for work! I can't believe it took me so long to try it out properly! I want to get some more of these in more Autumn-type shades, deep reds and purples! 
Have you tried any of these yet? What are your favourite MUR products?

POTW #20 : Rimmel Colour Rush Lip Crayon - I Want Candy

Pink lip products and I go together like pea and carrots. I am obsessed and as Miley would say ... I can't stop and I won't stop -  they just keep on coming and my collection is literally growing by the day.... I have issues okay!
You may have seen this in my Boots Haul video I uploaded last week! This is one of the Rita Ora lip crayon from Rimmel and I had been eyeing it up for a while!

It is a gorgeous barbie bubblegum pink shade - perfect for summer! Lip crayons are my favourite at the moment, fab colour, great pigmentation and super hydrating and smooth! One of my top go-to colours at the moment ... so tempted to get some more of these Rimmel beauts.....

NEW Maybelline Super Stay 14Hr Megawatt Lipstick - Flash Of Fuchsia Review

Oh look - it's another pink lip product to add to my collection!!
This is the snazzy new Maybelline Super Stay 14hr megawatt lipstick.... bit of a mouthful isn't it..... and this is the shade 'Flash Of Fuchsia'. (Everyone knows if it's fuchsia - I will love it).
A quick little side note for you all now..... The sun has been so sunny that it has made the grass all dry and sad so I'm sorry these photos aren't more colourful and healthy I have sad grass :(
So this is a NEW product from the fabulous Maybelline - who, can I just say, I have been loving recently. 
Normally I tend to head to Maxfactor & L'oreal over Maybelline but that has really changed over the last few months and I've been really excited to check out Maybelline stands and see what's new!
So this new little lippy is said to stay bold and bright for 14hrs with 'no fading dragging or drying'
I've worn this a few times and am really loving it! From the tube I thought it was going to be a really bright flursecent shade but once on it's a really nice dark fuchsia!
After wearing it a few times I can confirm that this stuff DOES stay on (I still have a mark from the swatch on my bloomin' arm!). 
It's definitley not drying at all weither hich I love! It feels so so smooth which isn't ommon with matte colours they can be so drying!
The only thing I would say is that I did see a bit of fading when I wore it out for dinner - but this did obviously including eating and drinking for the evening!

Another amazing lip product added to my make-up bag - totes perfect for summer too!

Don't forget you can now find me on YouTube - so excited I've finally plucked up the courage to do it!

POTW #16 : Make-Up Revolution Amazing Sheer Lipgloss Tube - Baby Try

It's Friday which means it's product of the week time - and this week it's all about lips,lips,lips and it's another product from that snazzy new company Make-Up Revolution!
All the products I have tried from them so far I have been so impressed with and they are slowly making their way into my make-up routine everyday in some shape or form!
This is the Amazing Sheer Lipgloss in shade Baby Try* (cute name)
This is a product that I have surprised myself with, I normally hate these sorts of lipgloss. I have never been a fan of "tube" type glosses - I just never liked how sticky they felt and I thought the application process was a bit pants and that you didn't get much in the tube!
But.... I take it all back! 

This stuff is lovely, totally non-sticky (compared to other tubes I've tried in the past), a fabulous pigmented bright colour which glides on super easy.
I have been wearing this non-stop, I love the bright bubblegum barbie shade - I'm such a sucker for things PINK and shiny!
Want to know the best part? This little beaut is only £1! Yup, I am serious, just 100 pennies for this gorgeous lipgloss - totes affordable and amazing quality for the price!
I'm obsessed with this brand!

Have you tried anything from MUR yet? What are your fav products?
