BLUEBERRY REVOLUTION (& GEMPORIA GIVEAWAY)

The elle next door
Blueberry revolution, what the f**k on earth could that possibly mean? Well, despite it sounding vaguely like a brand new superfood/smart phone/pancake recipe/or just some other crap that I regularly make up... it is actually my shockingly shit poor attempt at introducing a post about an outfit - and earrings that you can win, more on that later - with blueberry (a posher way of just saying "blue") tones, and an introduction to Makeup Revolution.

Yep, my title attempt really was that lame.

On a slightly less lame note, when I was planning this outfit, I realised that I didn't quite have enough blue items in my wardrobe... i.e cue all the online shopping this week in search of the perfect spring time lavender/blue/wisteria colour'd playsuit, dress, skirt, jacket... everything. Basically all blue ehhrthing...

On to the revolution part of my shockingly bad title; my first array into Makeup Revolution. I had a rather embarrassing - Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah's couch style - moment when I saw that Make up Rev (yeah, we shorten brand's full name, cool...) have a section in my local Superdrug, and delighted in buying all the budget goodness.

P.S I've only used each product once so I'll give a little "one sentence, first impression" kinda thing. Cool? Cool...

Makeup Revolution lipstick nude
Makeup Revolution lipstick, Nude - I'm not totally convinced on the formula at the moment but the colour is a really pretty pinky/beige nude. Looking forward to trying this more.
Makeup Revolution Eyeshadow Good wife
Makeup Revolution Shadow, Good Life - So, from the pan, this looks like it would be a taupe/purple/brown colour, right? Wrong... This is actually a really light, almost lilac colour but I actually really love it. It'll definitely be a love or hate colour so make sure you swatch this one.
Makeup Revolution blush Love
Makeup Revolution blush, Love - So, this blush is pigmented. Like, one dip of the brush and you are more than good to go. This is a really pretty, natural pinky peachy which just leaves a nice flush to the skin. 

How about some ridiculously unflattering close ups in an attempt to show them slapped on the face whilst simultaneously shoving it in some wisteria? Sound like a plan? Right, let's do it...

Next up are these stunning earrings from Gemporia* which have quickly become my "I really can't be arsed bothered to make an effort so give me all the chic and "put together-ness" in an instant, please and thank you!" piece. They really just do exactly that, completely dress up an outfit and make me feel a little more polished.

I absolutely love the triangle shape alongside the gorgeous blueberry - ahhh, now the title makes sense - quartz gemstone as they are so different to anything I own. But they're also extremely wearable. And do you know what the best bit is? You can win a pair right now by entering the competition/giveaway box at the bottom. [insert thumbs up emoji here] What are you waiting for? Oh, you're waiting for me to shut the hell up stop waffling on and let you get to the end of the post, awkward... ;)
