I failed my eyeshadow palette challenge...

Hey guys, a couple of weeks ago I discussed my one a week eye shadow palette challenge which I was going to over the summer holidays. However, at the same time I decided to start the 30 day makeup challenge which was full of really inspirational ideas to expend your ideas of how to use makeup(on my instagram if you haven't seen it!). Therefore, I wanted to use a range of makeup because if I only used 1 palette I would've been a bit trapped and not able to try out the looks that I had envisioned.

Makeup Revolution Blush Palette Review

Today I'm going to do a review (comlete with swatches!) of the makeup revolution sugar and spice blush palette. It has some really bright pink shades, along with a couple of neutrals, a shimmer and a stunning highlight. There are 3 other blush palettes but I thought that this one suited my skin tone the best. I might try some others because this one is so good and it's only £6!!!

The packaging is very sleek and black with rose gold writing. It is very shiny which means you can see fingerprints - one of the only faults I have with it. The mirror is huge and you can do your whole makeup with it, if you wanted to. The pan sizes are quite large too so you get quite a lot of product for the price. The matte blushes have a really nice, smooth texture but the shimmer ones feel a bit sandy; luckily it's mostly matte. Despite this I think that all the blushes and the highlight look good on the cheeks and they feel smooth.

The blushes swatch very well except for the highlight, however I think it was drowned out by the writing. The top row can all be everyday blushes, two nudes and one soft bubblegum pink (that can be buit up if you wanted). The highlight is very intense and has a lavander - pink undertone. The bottom row has more intense shades, I particually like the very left one which is a dark, reddish pink. There is also a coral, a dark bubblegum pink and a shimmery pink, all gorgeous shades.

Overall, I would definately check this palette out if you are interested in some bright pink shades or for the nudes. The price is very reasonable and it is well worth it. 

Fortune Favours the Brave palette

Today I'm going to tell you about the Makeup Revolution's collaboration with BritishBeautyBlogger and the palette that they created together. The palette is called "Fortune Favours the Brave" and it is £10, only in superdrug and it's limited edition.

As you can see in the photos, the packaging is stunning and the shade range is amazing. The packaging is a matte gold with a shiny gold symbol. It is very sturdy and travel friendly. It comes with a full size mirror, 30 eye shadows and a double ended brush.
The brush is quite good, considering the price, but the blending side is a bit small - however this will be perfect for travelling.

When I first opened it I was a bit disappointed because I expected the shadows to be bigger, the pans are quite small. The palette only has 16g of product, but (again) I expected more product.

I have swatched all of the shadows; which all differ in pigment. I must admit, I was disappointed when I first swatched these because after so much praise I expected them to be amazing. They are a bit chalky and for a couple of the paler colours there is barely any pigment.

(Sorry some of the pictures are sideways)

If you build up the eye shadows you can have some lovely colours, there were only a couple disappointing ones.

Overall I do quite like this palette, it was £10 and you get names with the shades, so it is perfect for tutorials. I would recommend it because you can create a lot of different looks for different occasions and there are colours to suit everybody.
