Review: Makeup Revolution Redemption Romantic Smoked Palette




Hi guys! I'm back to share with you guys a quick review. This is a brand that I've never tried before. Well mostly because the brand, Makeup Revolution used to only be sold in the UK. But fortunately, you can now buy their products at Ulta or on Makeup Revolution US's Website. YAY!

I've heard very great reviews of Makeup Revolution's products so I have high hopes for the brand. 

Anyways, today I'll be reviewing the Redemption Romantic Smoked Palette. There's lots of different versions of the Redemption palettes. So if you don't like the color selection for this palette, be sure to look for the other versions! Just a heads up I heard the Redemption Iconic 1,2,3 are supposed to be dupes for the Urban Decay Naked 1,2,3. 




I really how the back shows the ingredients. Most importantly, it's printed big with not much words. Some products use too much ingredients that you literally have to get a magnifying glass to find out what were used to make it. So if you're someone that's very specific about what ingredients goes on your skin, this is good for you.


I really like how the palette has a clear lid so you can see what colors are in it without having to open it. That makes it easy for storage and use, because you know exactly what colors are in the palette. Just grab it and go if you're in the mood for the colors.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the beautiful color selection. This is the perfect palette for the upcoming Autumn season.


Here's a closer look at the eyeshadows. The first 6 shades are shimmers. 


And the last 6 shades are mattes.



Here are swatches.





My thoughts:

I think the shimmer shades perform the best in this palette.
All shadows feel very creamy and smooth.
I like how there's an even number of shimmers and mattes.
There are fall outs, so do be careful when dipping your brush.
Very versatile-- you can create many looks with just this palette.
Performs best over an eyeshadow primer.
I think this is one of the better drugstore eyeshadow palettes out there.
Only $7! You can't beat that.
Overall, I enjoyed this palette and would definitely try out the other redemption palettes as well as their other affordable products!
