First Impressions: I ♥ Makeup Death By Chocolate Palette

I am so pleased I have this palette, it came out before I got paid and when I went to buy all of my other Makeup Revolution goodies, it had sold out! Luckily it came back into stock not long after that so I put in a super quick order and now its here!

How beautiful is that packaging? I just love the feel of this palette, it has a lovely weight to it and the outer casing is just so unusual! I've read on other blogs that they couldn't detect any chocolatey scent from this palette, but I definitely can. It's a little bit synthetic but still quite a unique touch!

And there they are, another lovely palette full of shimmery neutrals! I'm so easily pleased.

 This is the top row. Don't Let Go and Consume Me are obviously my faves, but I'm in love with how jet black All is Lost is. White Light is basically the same shade as my skin, but I probably won't use it anyway.

The second row is where we really get going. There's a couple of mattes in there, but just look at the shimmer on Fool's Gold. It's beautiful. The mattes are a bit better than in the Salvation palettes, but I'd still probably skip them.

This is the bottom row and I want these shades on my eyelids right now. They're all gorgeous and really fit with the chocolatey theme of the palette. I honestly couldn't pick a favourite shade, I love them all.

The Death By Chocolate palette retails for £7.99 and is available here. If you're a fan of shimmery neutrals then you need this in your life, it's quickly become one of my go to palettes!

First impressions: Makeup Revolution's Girls on Film Palette

Having already looked at the Run Boy Run palette from Makeup Revolution, I now want to talk you through my first impressions of their Girls on Film palette. This one has even more shades that I can definitely see myself wearing, and I can straight away see which my favourites are bound to be! 

We've got the same lovely packaging as Run Boy Run, and the same layout with the shimmers on top and a row of mattes down the bottom.

Starting from the top row, it's a very similar story to Run Boy Run. All of these shades are extremely wearable, but I'd probably give Walking Hand in Hand a miss. Camera Rolling and Polaroid Heaven are particularly gorgeous.

On the second row, we have more beautiful neutrals. Lights Flashing, Frenzy All Down Your Spine, and Lipstick Over the Lens have to be my favourites, but really I love all of these shades.

I definitely prefer these mattes to the ones in the Run Boy Run palette, there's slightly more pigmentation and I could see them being easier to wear on their own. Girls on Film though, I'm not even sure why I bothered swatching it! It's exactly the same shade as my skin and if I hadn't labelled it I'd have forgotten it was there completely. 

You can find the Girls on Film palette here for £6.


Which of the new Makeup Revolution palettes would you like to try?

First impressions: Makeup Revolution's Run Boy Run Palette

I'm a bit late to jump on the bandwagon with this one, but Makeup Revolution managed to bring out all of their lovely new palettes and lipsticks when I was skint and desperately waiting for payday! Obviously I've since been paid, so I put in a couple of orders and I'm going to be taking you through my first impressions of the things I bought!

If you've been reading this blog a while, you'll know I love a shimmery eye, so I couldn't resist the new eyeshadow palettes. Run Boy Run particularly caught my eye with its gorgeous selection of matte nudes and shimmers. The palette itself arives in a cardboard box with the name emblazoned on the front, and a photograph of the shadows on the back. The actual palette is a shiny black plastic which I expected to feel cheap, but it actually feels really sturdy and clips shut in a really satisfying way.

The shadows are beautiful. I think that some of them will probably be more wearable than others, but apart from the super dark ones, I will be wearing these to work as much as possible! 

Starting from the top row, these are all so wearable. Trying to Catch You is super pale, it'd probably work really well as a higlighter or as a base shade though. I'm loving Sun Will Be Guding You, Day is a Prophecy and Another Day. These are exactly the kind of shades I love to wear during the day.

Middle row, and I love all of these too! I'm annoyed at myself for not capturing You Will Be My Boy very well, as it has a gorgeous red glitter to it. Break Out From Society is a fab colour, I'm not sure how I'm going to wear it, but I just love how pigmented it is!

And finally the bottom row of matte shadows. I'm going to be honest, I probably won't use these. They're all very pale, and I'm all about the gorgeous shimmers. They might be good for bases, or highlighters, but I don't tend to bother with those most of the time anyway.

Even with the matte shades being a bit of a disappointment, this is still a beautiful palette. You can find it here for £6.
