New palettes by Makeup Revolution - Forever Flawless

*purchased by me*


Ok so for the next few weeks there will be tones of palettes blog posts. What can I say,I love buying them :)


New in my collection are the Makeup Revolution Forever Flawless palettes. There is 4 in total but I only have 3 as the Decadent palette was sold out when I ordered rest :) 
And yes you guessed right I will be ordering it soon :) 



Now lets talk about the palettes, and how gorgeous these are! the packaging sold me! They all come in a tin that is very sturdy. There is a big mirror inside and each palette contains 18 beautiful shades.  The shade names are printed inside under each shade. I prefer that way and wish more brand did same. All for $15 each :) I say not bad! 


Lets dive in into first one - Optimum Palette. The tin on this one is a grey marble,super pretty. Its a mix of cool and warm tones with bunch of beautiful shades - 8 mattes and 10 shimmers. I love this palette a lot.These are my kind of shades and it reminds me a bit of Profusion Chocolates palette.


 The mix of browns, bronzes, golds and greens is simply beautiful and definitely a safe zone for all of us.
This palette is vegan and cruelty free.

Swatches:


 Few of my favorite shades: Peak, Parallel, Choice,Outstanding,Capital.



Unconditional Love - very pinky and very romantic palette.  Gorgeous light pink marble packaging.Adore this one :) I think it goes really great with whats inside.Soft, rosy and very romantic.



 The shimmers and the mattes in here perform really good.I used this palette twice and I really like the looks it created.Perfect for every day.

Swatches:



 
My favorite shades: Official, Coy, First Date, Love Potion, Adore,actually all!
This particular palette is not vegan but it is cruelty free.


Constellation Palette - the brightest out of all the,The packaging on this is insane! Its a galaxy and I love it!The shades like a mention are super bright!


 And they are not the shades I use every day. I don't feelgood playing with colors that bright. I got this one so maybe I can use with some other palettes :)
Swatches:


 
There is few shades that I really like in here like : Celestial, Spiral,Saturn and Retrograde.
Again this palette is not vegan but it is cruelty free.

Makeup Revolution The One Sticks ~ Blush, Highlight, Contour




Ah Makeup Revolution you simply amaze me with all your products. 
I recently got my hands on The One sticks. I have 4 but I am pretty sure there is more. 
The sticks come in a black plastic stick that is either matte or glossy they reflect a finish product hidden inside. The packaging kinda reminds me of  NARS Multiples but these ones are way cheaper :)
Sucks that I can't compare  them , sadly I don't own any NARS sticks. 

I have two matte The One Blush Sticks, The One Highlight Stick and The One Sculpt Stick.



The One Blush stick Matte Rush ~ bright, matte coral shade. This is such a beautiful Summer shade. I guess any coral shade is prefect for summer. matte Rush looks gorgeous on the lips and on the cheeks. It is intensely pigmented and gives amazing color payoff. I am personally not a big fun of corals but this one if applies light handed and blended looks beautiful. So before summer ends I better get more use out of it.

The one Blush Stick Matte Malibu ~ orangy brown shade, almost terracotta. as much as I love this color it is not for me. I tried to contour with it but it was too warm and too orangy on me. I bet it would look great on darker skin gals. Again the color pay off on this one is amazing. I still am trying to get use out of it. I do apply it lightly and blend with blending sponge. Some say that this a dupe for NARS Laguna, the only think is that this pulls more to orange side then Laguna that pulls more to brown side. 



The One Highlight Contour Stick ~ this is such a pretty highlight shade. As you know me I love highlighters! I more of a powder fan but hey I can still make a cream work too!. This one is beige based with enough shimmer to add glow to my complexion. It does feel a little slippery whenever your swatch it on the face or hand. I like it coz it is easy to blend plus I add a powder highlight on top of as well. The glow then is insane. It does contain tiny shimmers that I love! ;) There is many ways to apply this little guy. I used my fingers and I alies straight form the stick and then blended. Both ways worked fine for me. 

The One Sculpt Contour Stick ~ This is definitely my kind of contour shade coz it is on a cooler side. I don't apply too much , just a tiny bit and then blend (stippling brush or BB). I like how it look on my fair skin tone. Again pigmentation is awesome so if you a light skin you need just tiny bit. Don't over do it ! I like it more then Matte Malibu. 

Overall i am really impressed with The One sticks. They are creamy, they blend nice, color payoff is amazing. They retail for $9 on MUR USA website and ULTA.

starting from top: Sculp stick, Malibu Stick, Rush stick and highlight.

Rose Gold Obssesion ~ Makeup Revolution





I don't know about you but I love anything rose gold! Starting with jewelry, continue with accessories, home decor and makeup packaging. Rose gold everywhere please :)
Like I said every time when I review MUR I am so happy that we finally are able to get it here in USA. Not all the products are here yet, but hopefully soon they will.
Recently I got three new products form famous and amazing MUR.
Golden Sugar 2 Rose Gold Palette and two lipsticks in rose gold tubes ( Diamond Life and Chauffeur). Let me tell you my thoughts on all the products :)




Golden Sugar 2 Rose Gold - Ultra professional blush palette. I would not call it a blush palette though. Well maybe the last two shades. This palette is gorgeous! Simply beautiful and so summer appropriate. The colors are stunning! Nice selection  of shimmery shades rage form peaches, pinks, golden and coppers. I would call this a highlight palette more then a blush palette. The shades like I said are all sparkly and shimmery and blends into the skin so nice and leave a beautiful glow. That coppery bronze can be use to bronze up the skin a bit :) I remember Emilynoel yt when she was talking about her favorite palettes form MUR. As soonest I saw Golden Sugar 2 I said to myself I need to have it. What can I say I love sparkly shades and this one is filled with them :)



First Row:
* 1st shade is matte and its mauve- pink. Can be use a light blush just too add bit of  flush to your cheeks :)
* 2nd shade is shimmery peachy color. So pretty especially as a highlight or peachy blush topper
* 3rd shade golden champagne color and OMG by far my favorite and the most used one. i adore this shade and I think this might be dupe for JH Champagne POP? I don;t know I have to check it out
* 4th shade is bronze blush shade. Its matte but it does have a small visible, tiny pink glitter in. Personally I would use it as a blush or either eyeshadow then bronzer.



Second Row:
* 1st shade light peachy highlight also one of my favorite in the palette. Looks amazing on the cheeks.
* 2nd shade is shimmery pink highlight. It can b use also as a blush topper.
* 3rd shade is gorgeous copper highlight. I would not use it as a highlight though coz I am way to pale but OMG it is gorgeous! and so pigmented in one swipe. If you can dust very light handed on the skin I bet it would look breathtaking!
* 4th shade is tanned peachy nude blush. This shade is matte with no shimmer or sparkles whatsoever. This could be use as a bronzer or ca be topped with that coppery shade (they do look pretty together)



Overall I been really enjoying this palette. The shades are pigmented and they do blend nicely.
If you like shimmery shades and highlights give it a try. I actually think this palette will be great for travels as well :) The palette comes in a standard black packaging that is a fingerprints magnet :(
You can purchase palette at MakeupRevolution USA website, Ulta.Com and Ulta Stores
Price $10




Makeup Revolution Rose Gold Lipsticks ~ Lipsticks in pretty rose gold packaging. The tubes remind me of MAC bullets but these are much lighter then MAC ones. I got my in Chauffeur and Diamond Life.
Chauffeur is pretty rosy nude shade.
Diamond Life is dark berry red. Not as dark as it looks in a tube but its this prefect berry color that everyone needs.



Lipsticks are super creamy and non drying. they can be build up or you can even layer them up with lips glosses and so on. I actually love Chauffeur, such a prefect nude!  Diamond life I was a bit scared ... When you look at the tube you see how dark the color is. But once swatched looks really pretty on!
The price point? you can beat it! $5 and you got a pretty looking lipstick with a long wear (4h tops for me ). There are I think 3 more shades in the collection and I am thinking of getting them too ! totally a #lipstickhoarder.
