DUPE ALERT! | SUPER AFFORDABLE DUPE FOR URBAN DECAY NAKED 3 PALETTE | MAKEUP REVOLUTION

I feel like more people need to know about this amazing makeup company, I just can't see enough rave reviews out there to do the products justice!!
Basically the brand Makeup Revolution have fantastic dupes for high end makeup.
Honestly you guys the quality of the eyeshadows are impeccable and so so so cheap!
I am absolutely not being paid to say this, and I really wish I was haha #helpmeimpoor

If you are on a low budget looking for good quality products that are cheaper than a lot of drugstore brands - hold up what your doing (or finish reading this post first) and check out:

I actually bought a ton of their palettes, pure pigments (which are literally £1) and contour palette so if you want to see FI, hauls, reviews or anything else please leave any requests in the comments or on social media linked below!

But in this post I want to compare the Iconic 3 palette to Urban Decay's Naked 3 palette.
I believe the Iconic 1 & 2 are dupes for the Naked 1 & 2 but I personally don't own these palettes to create a comparison.

So the Iconic 3 palette costs £4.00 and the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette costs around £38 give or take a couple quid depending on where you buy it. So it's a massive difference in price, however, I'm not trying to discourage the Naked palettes as they are stunning palettes that I absolutely love, but I am targeting this post for those who are on a low budget and simply can't afford the high end palette, or want to try out the shades before commiting to paying that much.

Without further adieu lets get on with the swatches!

As you can see by the swatches the shades are pretty much identical! I think the shimmer shades are equal in pigmentation, however you can see in the matte shades that the Naked 3 palette has that little extra pigmentation and vibrancy.
However I have used both palettes and the Iconic 3 blends equally as seamless as the UD palette.
The first shade in the Iconic 3 doesn't show up on camera for some reason, but shows up much better in real life.
You can see that the very last shade for the Naked 3 (Blackheart) is that slightest bit more vibrant and you can really see the deep plum/burgundy shimmers within the shadow. For the Iconic 3 this is not as obvious.

Overall, considering the Iconic 3 palette is £4 it is a fantastic dupe for the Naked 3 palette.
It's wonderful if you're on a low budget, or want to try out these shades before comitting to a higher end price tag.
Also great for travelling, the packaging is sleek and does feel sturdy, also a lot smaller - I would rather take this with me and if anything (god forbid) goes wrong - it's only £4 as opposed to losing £38.

Hope you enjoyed this comparison and that it helped out a little for anyone curious about the palettes!

KARDASHIAN BEAUTY TOUCH TONES PALETTE | EYE LOOK & SWATCHES

Hey everyone I received my Kardashian Beauty Touch Tones Palette today (mouthful or what - that's what she said) in the mail, I bought it from FeelUnique.com - if you're not familiar with the site then I highly suggest you check it out because it has FREE SHIPPING omg
Does anyone else feel obligated to purchase something online if the site offers free shipping? #firstworldproblems

Anyway I got this palette for £10.52, it is originally priced at £11.95 but I used the discount code LOVE12 so see if it still works! I purchased the palette in Echo, I believe there are 3 palettes in total.
I'm not sponsored by feelunique I'm not fancy enough yet for all that lol I just really like the site & they often have discounts or sales on higher end products.

So I'll shut up and show you what the palette looks like & swatches & stuff & things

I really like the packaging personally, I love the mix of white and gold, the back of the palette is not so fancy looking but to be honest who cares what the back looks like lol, it's smaller than I expected but the eyeshadows are a decent size.
The only thing that bothers me is that the 'gradient' section in the middle aren't in seperate pans they're just kind of all together which means they could all end up smudging together and that scares me lol
It comes with an applicator which I don't use as I have my own brushes.

I did ONE swipe of each shadow. When I looked up swatches before doing this I think they swiped several times to get very opaque swatches because mine look nothing like theirs just from one go haha
I was expecting more pigmentation and the shadow didn't distribute as well as I expected.

However when I did my make up with this palette the shadows had a much better pay off than when I swatched on my arm (so weird but I've seen before in YouTube videos where the swatches are crap but when applied is much better)

So onto the look I've never done this before so if you have any suggestions on how to improve how I lay this out then feel free to comment or tweet me :) links will be at the bottom. Enjoy!

I then used Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner in 01 Intense Black to get my winged liner, and used my white eyeliner from the colortrend line by Avon in my inner corner.

Hope you enjoyed the look & swatches have a great Wednesday and I hope you're wearing pink #onwednesdayswewearpink

MAYBELLINE COLOUR TATTOO 24HR REVIEW & SWATCHES & HUGE MAKE UP DISCOUNT!

I recently purchased 3 Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24hr cream gel eyeshadows, and after using these I definitely want to try more shades & one has become a permanent product in my everyday routine.

I was worried about these as I have oily lids however I heard good things about the eyeshadows staying power so I thought I'd give them a go.

I got the shades Eternal Gold, Permanent Taupe and Pink Gold. Read on for swatches, my thoughts and where to buy them at a HUGE discounted price :)

Firstly, I love the clear bottoms as they show the true colour of the eyeshadow which I really like as I feel the product labels are a bit misleading, the label for Permanent Taupe actually implies that the colour has shimmer in it as (you may not be able to see very clearly in the first image) they have added shimmer.

Permanent Taupe.
Aside from a shimmery label, the actual eyeshadow is a staple matte taupe shade and is my absolute favourite. It's the shade I use everyday now, I simply add some of the eyeshadow onto a blending brush using a stipple motion and then blend this from the outer third of my lid towards my inner third which gives a lovely gradient effect and is very natural. It's also buildable, so you can go from a "no make up" make up look to a dark brown smokey eye. I need no other eyeshadows to help transition from this colour to my natural lid colour which is amazing as I am extremely pale - this shadow is very versatile and blends amazingly on its own. It also dries fairly quickly so you have to act fast, which I personally like as you do get your make up done quicker.

Eternal Gold & Pink Gold.
I feel these two shades are very similar in consistency and pigmentation - this may be the case for all the shimmery shades in the line. They have a much creamier consistency than Permanent Taupe, and I feel they need a powder eyeshadow to set them on my lids, if you don't have oily lids then you probably don't need it. To set them, I use the shimmer shades from my Sleek i-Divine palette in Organza or Gateau for Pink Gold & a general gold shadow for Eternal Gold (see these shades swatched in my review here) and it looks AMAZING. If you thought the Sleek shadows were pigmented before then you mind will be blown lol, even though we're using fairly neutral shades here it stands out so much and will add some oomph to a neutral look - omg it looks so pretty haha.

 From left to right - Eternal Gold, Pink Gold & Permanent Taupe. All just one swipe each. So pigmented! #Love

STAYING POWER - On my oily lids these eyeshadows will last at least 4-6 hours without a primer. When I use a primer it will last 8 hours EASY. These are great if you're working 9-5 or have long days at Uni because they will stay put and will not fade. No wonder these are constantly raved about. I'd love to try the rest of the line, especially Metallic Pomegranate.

Where I purchased & huge mega super duper discount! 
I bought mine at Boots and you can pretty much find them in any drugstore. However I discovered a site called Fragrance Direct (click and it will take you to the site!) they are selling the Colour Tattoo's for just £1.50 each (!!!!) I think that's amazing compared to the price of £4.99 in Boots #soexcite
