If you haven't already heard of Makeup Revolution, where the hell have you been!? The latest budget beauty brand on the scene have been causing quite the storm online with their weekly launches of yet more wonderful gems. This weekend sees the launch of two brand new 32 eyeshadow palettes, Flawless and Eyes Like Angels. I had the pleasure of Flawless landing on my doormat this morning, a collection of shimmering and matte nudes compared to the more experimental and daring shades that Eyes Like Angels consist of. Both palettes retail for just £8, with a total weight of 16g for the palette making the eye shadows 0.5g each.
Usually budget beauty brands stick to cheap and flimsy packaging, the lids snap off and you're greeted with cheap applicators gathering shadow dust. Each Makeup Revolution palette is encased in a pretty classy black casing with gold stamping. Once you've flipped the secure catch you're not only greeted with glistening shadows but a large, full size mirror - something everyone I've shown the palettes to have all commented about straight away. Flawless comes in a rose gold box, a little Naked 3-esq don't you think?
Now, not only do I not know how the folks at Makeup Revolution keep whipping up all these new products...but how an earth are they coming up with all the names for shadows alone. Until receiving Flawless today, my favourite of their palettes had been What you waiting for, due to the witty names (suiting the weekend antics) that accompanied the fantastic shade range. Flawless may not be as witty but the shade names fit each shadow perfectly.
Out of the two palettes launching today, I'm ecstatic to have Flawless in my collection, every nude shadow lover needs one in their stash. With 32 shadows to play around with this weekend I'll be rocking this palette come day and night and reporting back on their fall out and staying powder. From swatching alone these gems are so rich, creamy and pretty dreamy to blend but like all there will be a few shadows that disappoint slightly such Silver Smoke, Blue stars, Black Tie and due to their hard, grainy textures. Tip - use a wet brush and transform them! What do you guys think? Will you be picking up your Flawless palette? My personal favourites from the 32 are Soft Glow, Buff, Highlite, Smudge, Shimmer Heart, Universal & Copper Shimmer. Lucy xx

They're beautiful aren't they! x
DeleteThese are gorgeous and the pigmentation looks great for such inexpensive shadows. It's got a fair amount of matte shadows too which I love in a palette!

It'd make a great palette for traveling with the great mix for sure! x
DeleteLooks nice but looks like there is a little too much similarity between the shades for me, i need to find a blog on the brighter palette to see if that is the same xx
ReplyDeleteSimilar shades don't bother me, as if I hit pan on one I'll have one similar. The bright one looks amazing from the reviews today xx
DeleteThis looks like such a gorgeous palette, I can't wait to buy it! So many beautiful shades for such a cheap price :)
