Urban Decay OR Makeup Revolution?

As a self proclaimed makeup lover, I think it's fair to say that I own just a few too many palettes. The Naked palettes from Urban Decay have always been a favourite since their very first release, but it was only this year that a drugstore dupe started lashing out products to rival their high end competitors. Of course I'm talking about Makeup Revolution. Whilst they've also offered dupes for products from brands like Too Faced and Lorac, I wanted to focus on my comparison between their shadows and Urban Decay's. With that said, I don't actually own one of the MR Iconic Palettes, the dupes for UD, but I do own a couple others...and surely the formula has to be the same, right?!

What I Got For Christmas 2014

 

I'm certainly one of the nosiest people around, and love reading these 'What I Got For Christmas' posts. I know some people don't particularly like these, but as I love reading them and seeing what others got, I figured that I would do the same too. This isn't everything that I received, but I decided that you'll soon see the couple of fashion items in new OOTD's and I didn't really feel the need to show DVD's, as I want to stick mainly to the beauty/fashion theme of my blog. I don't think it's necessary to show gift cards either. Also just to put it out there, I am extremely thankful for everything that I received and am in no way, shape or form bragging about these gifts.

My Christmas Wishlist / The 12 Days of Blogmas #4

Like most bloggers out there, I probably always have some sort of wishlist on the go. But as the festive season is upon us, I decided to create this wishlist to show you what I've been lusting over and would love to see under the tree this year.

But first of all, I would just like to say that I know that I will not be receiving all of these gifts and that I'll be very lucky to receive even one of them. I'm extremely thankful for any gifts that I do receive and this list is just a little guide (and if I really do want something, I'll just have to save up some money after Christmas).
