Hello all!

Today's post is something a little different as it is split into two parts. This post is a general mini review about my new Death By Chocolate Palette (thank you Juliette!) just showing the different shades and picking out my favourites, and tomorrow I will be posting a look that I have created using the palette.

This palette (and all the other Makeup Revolution palettes) have been raved about as dupes to the Two Faced Chocolate Palette, and I've been eager to try one for a while, and I have not been disappointed with the quality, and chocolatey smell, of this palette.

The palette has 16 shades, all of which are gorgeous colours. Along the top row, there are 5 colours.

(I swear White Light is there, it's just so pale!)

White light is probably the creamiest of all the shades and it feels so nice to dip into! But by far the prettiest shade of the entire palette is Don't Let Go. I actually think I'm in love.

Next are 6 colours on the second row.

Love You To Death was the colour that I first loved the look of when I opened the palette. However, Devour Me was a tad crumbly upon swatching, but I'll have to see how it is when I use it with a brush.

Then the third and final row has 5 shades again.

Tease Me is an absolutely gorgeous shade, I am very excited to play around with the metallics in this palette. Bring Down The Angels is going to make the perfect shade for the inner corner as well.

Thank you for reading, and hopefully see you tomorrow!

So today I had one of my usual no makeup Monday's, which is great to give my skin a rest, but for some reason, today it made me realise just how red and dark under my eyes really are. Even with my usual concealer and foundation, it's still pretty obvious just how tired I am. So after doing a bit of research, I decided to buy L'Oreal's Lumi Magique Highlighting Pen/Concealer as it is apparently one of the best high street concealers. Originally I was going to buy the concealer that matches my foundation, with is the True Match Foundation by Rimmel London. However, upon reading reviews, I found out that it comes out cakey and doesn't give great coverage. But with the L'Oreal concealer, I couldn't find many reviews that slated it.

I went for shade #2 in medium, as shade #1 in ivory seemed a little too light for my skin tone. I had really high hopes for this concealer, especially as it could double as a highlighter, and who can resist a 2 in 1? And I wasn't disappointed by this. It covered my dark circles amazingly, it was almost like they didn't exist, which is a first for me in 3 years. It also makes a great highlighter when I applied it in the usual places (cheekbones, chin, nose and cupids bow), yet it wasn't an overpowering highlighter which I quite dislike on me.

The packaging is incredibly pretty in a rose gold, and the brush is quite soft on the face. The bottom twists to release the liquid into the brush. To begin with it took a while to get the product to come out, but be careful as a little of this can go a long way, so don't twist it too fast!
Overall, I'm very pleased with this, and it is worth way beyond it's £8.49 price. I have a feeling that it's going to take a while before I change concealer again.

Thanks for reading,
