Imogenation | Make Up Revolution

I'm not one to run out and buy youtuber products, I have Zoella products I've been gifted but I've never rushed to spend my money on any of them. It's not that I have anything against them its just never something that takes my fancy, the products brought out just don't excite me. HOWEVER before i'd even watched Imogen's video I was straight on the Make Up Revolution website ordering her palettes. I knew I would love them regardless!

Back in 2013 I was super into YouTube i'd watch every youtuber under the sun but recently I only watch a couple (Shane and Jenna) one of the main ones being Imogen I just adore her she is so kind and entertaining, even if she does cry every video. I just want to be her best friend!

Walking in the door after work and seeing a parcel filled with these stunning palettes made me so excited I can't remember the last time I bought new make up that wasn't a repurchase of the same Rimmel foundation I've been using for years so I was so excited to get on here and talk to you about it!

Starting off with my favourite palette of the two the eye shadow palette. The colours are just beautiful, as a person who a year ago was scared to wear anything but brown eye shadow after getting my modern renaissance palette I have been experimenting with pinks so this is a perfect palette for me.

The names of the colours are my favourite as they are all quotes Imogen says on social media and her Youtube channel making this palette super personal for those who enjoy her videos however, even a customer unfamiliar with Imogen can enjoy the uniqueness of these names.

Whats interesting about this palettes is the layout, each row can create an eye look (with some practice I could create some good looks) which makes it so much easier as an amateur like me to practice and learn blending and different looks.

The second palette is called “highlight to the moon” and honestly it truly does that! I love highlighter ever since I started watching Jeffree Star and investing into contour. This palette has 3 rows; powder, contour and highlight. It’s so useful having them all on the same palette as you can travel with it or just grab it and go. Personally I keep a make up bag of essentials in the top draw of my cabinet so I can grab it and go!

 The pigment in this palette is just unreal I can’t explain it to you just how POPPING the highlights are! I can’t wait to use this everyday and finally get good at contouring. This is a swatch (a not very good one like) of the colour angel face - It's unreal!

I just want to say a massive congratulations to Imogen, you have always been good to me online and you are the most deserving person to be bringing out make up! I can’t wait to see what other products and projects you venture into as I know they will be as popping as angel face!

I did a full look using the palettes and I love it - my mum even complimented my eye shadow!

I adored taking these blog pictures it’s been a while since I’ve done product photos and I truly got into it; even went on a walk to find nicer flowers than my back garden. Hopefully I can get back into writing about more products.

Thanks,

Best photo-ops in DisneyLand Paris | DLP

Anyone going to Disney knows that a part of the magic is getting that perfect picture be it for memories or purely for instagram. I knew that as soon as Amy and I both aspiring photographers were to step foot on that sacred land we were about to get the best photos possible.

Everyone knows the classic DisneyLand LA blue wall and the other fancy walls and photo spots but I feel like there isn't that many known spots in Paris. Although when I was in Disneyland (last September yeah i really have ignored this blog thing) my main goal wasn't to get perfect photos it was just to have a good time.

My first most important main tip is where to get the perfect photos of you in front of the castle. Everyone knows the classic straight in front of the castle where there is a Photopass photographer however, to the right of the castle on the way to the dragon (Maleficent) under the castle there is a hidden area that gets you even closer to the castle. It's hardly ever busy so you can get photos without a crowd in the back. I personally LOVE it here and Amy and I probably spend about 45 minutes getting the perfect shots of each other!

If you're a big Pirates of the Caribbean fan like Amy, we stumbled across the perfect place for photos. I honestly couldn't believe how lucky we got, its super close to the Pirates ride in fact if you face the sign and turn around its just behind a small white wall. This spot is awesome and looks amazing in pictures with the skull island skull and the Pirate ship it makes for an excellent image.

I love Ratatouille it's one of my favourite films so for me I simply had to get a photograph at the fountain. I think you could get some really lovely shots here and from different angles moving around the fountain. The level of detail in Disney continues to blow my mind, within the fountain there is hlittle mice, I just adore it. 

Taking pictures on a ride may sound impossible but on some rides you can - take the tea cups for example. The colours of the background and your tea cup make an image look stunning and with the movement and joy of being on the ride you can get some lush photos. The best part about this idea is it can be done during the day and at night and you get completely different photos.

Moving over to Hollywood Studios there is some great places over there for some really nice photos. One of my favourites is outside my all time favourite ride Tower of Terror. During our January trip we must have rode this at least 20 times so in September we vowed to get some amazing pictures, especially with the glooming threat of it becoming a Guardians of the Galaxy ride.  Right outside to the left of the queue there is a fountain that is wonderful to take pictures at. Or if you walk all the way to the right towards the fast pass ticket booth you can get some shots of you with the ride.

Finally one of my favourite places in Hollywood Studios is straight ahead of you when you walk into the park and its the high street. There is so many good shots and locations here if you truly wanted to go all out and get your photographer on. We took some photos in the middle of the street just being idiots and spinning in a circle but I just love the look it feels like we're in LA with the whole palm tree vibe.

To finish off this post I've included some photos from our trips of us being idiots cause at the end of the day its about making memories not just a cute Instagram, they're just a bonus!
