I ♡ Makeup Naked Chocolate palette

I hope you are enjoying lipstick month so far, and don't forget to enter my lipstick giveaway. Today is not about lipstick, it's about a beautiful eyeshadow palette, that I have been really hesitant to review. Not because it's not good. But I knew, that as soon as the review goes live, I will have to start using a new palette in preparation for the next review. And I kinda want to just keep using this one! I'm talking about the I ♡ Makeup Naked Chocolate palette.

 

Price: £7,99 or about $12 here.

 

Packaging: Identical to my I Heart chocolate palette, but with off-White/cream colored packaging. It seriously makes me crave white chocolate just looking at it. I really like the look and feel of the palette, but as I have said before, I absolutely dread the plastic inlays. It comes with a good mirror and a decent sponge tip applicator.

 

Ok let me just say it straigh away! I freaking love this palette. Actually, it's the best palette I ♡ Makeup/ Makeup Revolution has ever made. At least of the ones I have tried, and I have tried quite a few. The quality seems to be improved and there is not a single bad shadow in this palette. They are all beautiful colors and I am so pleased with the amount of mattes in this one. They are a dream to work with and I don't want to ever stop using this palette.

I am especially obsessed with "smoothly" "divine" "choc-fest" and "milky" I love the mixture of cool toned and warm toned shadows in this palette. It's just a beautiful palette! I don't know if they have improved the formula of these, but they sure feel better than my original I Heart chocolate palette. My original one is great, but the shadows seem to form a crust when you use your fingers with them. These don't seem to do that.

I'm honestly blown away by this palette, and I have nothing bad to say about it. Staying power is decent, and with a good primer you will have no issues with these shadows. Don't beat me up for saying this, but I actually prefer this to any of my Urban Decay naked palettes. The color selection in this palette just seems like it was made for me. And if I could only keep one neutral palette out of my entire Collection, it would be this one. So I totally recommend it, if you like warm neutrals, and you want a palette that can give you an all matte eye look as well as some pretty metallic looks. I'm sold!

 

I ♡ Makeup Go to Hell palette review

I have had this palette for a few months now. I got it as a free gift with purchase, but never really got around to using before recently. I've tried quite a few of both the Makeup revolution and I♡Makeup palettes now and so far I've been pretty pleased.

Price: £3,99 or about $6 at Makeup Revolutions webshop

Packaging: While the design looks pretty neat, it's not super functional. I normally use a bigger eye brush for my lighter Shades and a smaller crease brush for darker Shades, so it puzzles me that the lightest Shades are the smallest in this palette.  It can be difficult to fit your brush into the small shadows, so that's a bit of a drawback for me. The outer packaging seems sturdy and travel friendly.

The quality is the typical quality that I have come to know and love from both Makeup revolution and  I ♡ Makeup. If you are not familiar with their shadows, I can tell you that pigmentation is great, they are easy to Work with and easy to blend. It's pretty amazing for the Price.

When all that's said, this palette did not wow me. Mostly because of the color selection. I'm more of a neutral/burgundy/rose gold kinda gal and I don't care for grey or black shadows all that much. All the Shades that I do like, are in the smallest pans, wich annoys me a lot.

no primer

I can't fault the palette for not containing the colors I like, not everyone wants 10.000 naked palette dupes. So I think this pretty much comes down to preference. If you like those dark smokey and Jewel toned shadows, then this would be a nice little palette to have. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the quality of this palette, it's just not my type of shades.

With that being said, I would still recommend it to anyone who likes these types of colors, just keep in mind that it can be hard to get to the smaller shadows, it's not impossible but just a little tricky. The quality and staying power is good, and you can't beat the price. They also have a neutral version of this called "go to heaven" wich I think I would really like, but I have not tried it yet.

Have any of you tried this palette? what do you think of the design/layout of this?
