If you saw my Twitpic, you'll know my Makeup Revolution collection is pretty extensive! (And has grown since then...) Obviously I haven't tried every single product but these are my picks from the products I have. This new series will see me take a favourite brand of mine and whittle it down to their 5 products I think you have to try. This week is Makeup Revolution's turn...
5. Aqua Seal Liquid Eye Primer, £3
I'm not sure if this is a dupe of something, but I've personally never come across anything like this. It seriously makes your eyeshadow colours 'pop' and they will not shift all day.

4. Just Me in the Promised Land Eyeshadow Collection, £5
I'm a huge fan of the 'mono-eyeshadows', which cost £1 each and have fantastic colour payoff and are so creamy in texture. If you go on Makeup Revolution's website they have different collections of these eyeshadows where you get 6 for £5. I love Just Me in the Promised Land and if you love neutral shimmers you should check it out.

3. Flawless Eyeshadow Palette, £8
I'm totally in love with this. It's pretty much 'Autumn' in a palette! I travel a lot so I love how compact it is (no spongey applicators here!) and the big mirror. Plus it's so versatile for both day and night, I can easily take this away with me and that's endless eyeshadow looks sorted!

2. Vivid Blush Lacquer in Bloom, £3
I've got a few of these, which are dupes of Makeup Forever's HD Blush, but my favourite is 'Bloom'. It's the perfect muted peach that goes with just about anything and would suit a lot of different skin tones. I also love how the formula helps create a really natural flush. And all for £3!
Review & Swatches of Bloom here, post on the others coming soon

1. I Heart Makeup: I Heart Chocolate Eyeshadow Palette, £7.99
This has to be my #1 and it's one I find myself reaching for all the time. As you can see, it's a dupe of Too Faced's Chocolate Bar. I think the shades are just gorgeous! It's not your typical neutrals palette, it's something a bit different.
Review & Swatches here
Honourable Mention(s): All Day & Night Eyeliner in the Last Laugh (the perfect brightening gold to go on your waterline) and the Iconic Eyeshadow Palettes (reviews and swatches here, here & here)
It's been quite an eye-product-heavy post, but if someone who'd never used their stuff asked me what they should try first, it would definitely be their eyeshadows! I hope this post helped you make your first or next Makeup Revolution purchase :)

Completely agree with you on Makeup Revolution eye shadow palettes, they're great quality and the shades are beautiful! I don't have the Flawless palette but definitely need it in my life :) xx
ReplyDeleteMummy's Beauty Corner
Definitely go for it! I almost didn't, as I thought I had too many neutral palettes, but I'm so glad I did xx
DeleteI totally agree, the Flawless palette is something that has taken my make up collection by storm. I love it and keep using it. I think its just as good as some of my much more expensive palettes! :)
ReplyDeleteSarah / Sarah Smiles
It really is amazing quality :) xx
DeleteI want to try their chocolate palette, as it's such a great dupe for the too faced one. Their baked blushes, bronzers and highlighters are really nice. Have you tried them? X

Ooh I haven't, as I haven't seen the baked blushers in Superdrug yet! I can feel an order coming on...xx
DeleteI won a Make Up Revolution competition and I can't wait to receive my prize. I've never tired anything from them before but judging by your collection it's pretty good stuff! The I heart chocolate palette looks great!

Lucky you! Enjoy :) xx
DeleteI love the sound of the eyeshadow sealant and the HD blush (it kind of reminds me of the one from ELF). I'm planning on picking up a couple of their stick blushes (eventually) and I think I might get one of the HD ones whilst I'm at it xx

I've tried the e.l.f. and I actually prefer the colours of these and unfortunately the e.l.f. one I received was all separated out :( I'm dying to get some of the blush sticks too. I was so annoyed they were released online the day after I placed my last order with them! xx
DeleteI also agree with you on the I heart Chocolate palette it's pretty amazing quality for the price. I really wan tot try the Aqua Seal and Liquid Blushers now, they both sound great x
ReplyDeletewww.beautywithcharm.com
They really are! :) xx
DeleteI love the look of the eyeshadow palettes, they look beautiful. I really need to try something from this brand! x

They're so cheap you should definitely pick up a couple :) xx
DeleteI have yet to try anything from makeup revolution which is shameful but I'm DIEING to. Love the look of the flawless eyeshadow palette and wow is that affordable!

You seriously need to! :D x
DeleteI really have to pick up some goodies, they look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteDo! My favourite bargain brand x
DeleteI love their Flawless Palette - it's just incredible! xx
ReplyDeleteGemma // Miss Makeup Magpie
It really is, I didn't think it could be great with that many shades for so little but I was really wrong! xx
DeleteWow, your collection is pretty impressive looking at that picture! I can't believe I haven't tried any of their stuff yet and at the prices that they are, that's pretty inexcusable really! I love the look of the palettes (although I like the idea of a collection of mono shadows too) so I'm definitely going to have to have a look.
