Sugar & Spice | Makeup Revolution Ultra Blush And Contour Palette

I've never owned a blush palette before and I actually got this for my mum for Mother's day but she let me review it as she's so impressed with Makeup Revolution's Ultra Blush Palette - £6 that is perfect for highlighting and contouring too! I always love Makeup Revolution palettes as they're so cheap and high quality. The mirrored compact is always great for touch ups during the day too!
Sugar and Spice blush palette has eight beautiful shades that consist of matte and shimmery blushers, merged baked blusher and highlighter. Some of the blushers are popping pink and others are more muted which are perfect for contouring. I especially love the merged baked blush as it's so unique and kind of reminds me of Max Factor's new cream puff blushers. All shades are extremely pigmented - even the highlighter! They are so easy to blend and you can build it up if you want it really extreme. This really is the perfect contouring, blush and highligting palette and it only cost £6! This palette would make the perfect pop of colour for the spring and summer too.

I would definitely recommend this palette to all the highlighting and contouring junkies out there. The blushers are the perfect colours and look so beautiful once applied. They are so long lasting and pigmented. There is a shade for everyone in this palette and I think it would suit every skin tone. This is the first blush palette I've tried but I can tell I won't be searching for another one anytime soon.

Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette Iconic 3 | Swatches & Review

Makeup Revolution is becoming one of my favourite makeup brands right now. The blogging world went crazy for Makeup Revolution and I'm sad that I've only just discovered there products now! I was so impressed with the Flawless palette that I went ahead and bought the Iconic 3 palette.

 This palette was only £4 so I was worried incase the shadows weren't pigmented but as you can see all 12 shades are so pigmented and high quality! The palette has a mix of pearl, matte and shimmery shades so you can create so many beautiful looks with the iconic 3 palette. Many people say this palette is the perfect dupe for the Naked 3 palette and I definitely agree as the shades are so similar!

The brush that comes with the palette is completly useless but I can't really complain as I always use my Real Techniques brushes anyway. Even the white shadow is so pigmented and is a great highlighter. The shimmery shades are so beautiful and actually look shimmery instead of looking like glitter. I love the darker shades in this palette too as the blend so easily and can be built up. The quality of the eyeshadows are amazing as they stay on all day and the don't crease for hours.

I really love this palette and I've been using it everyday since I bought it last week. You can create so many eye looks with it so you can go subtle or dramatic. I literally cannot go wrong with this palette as it's such a steal at £4! 

Do you think the Redemption Palette Iconic 3 makes a good dupe for the Naked 3 palette?
