Makeup Revolution 'Newtrals VS Neutrals' Palette

Hello everyone! 

Happy Sunday!

If you saw my  tweet, you'll know I've done a lot of beauty shopping recently so I'll be doing some reviews here on the blog.  I made a MakeUp  Revolution   order, purely because I couldn't get what I wanted in my Superdrug as it's a bit lacking!  I bought the Oil Control Setting Spray (£5), the  New-Trals vs Neutrals palette (£6.99) that  I had been eager to get my hands on and a couple of new eye brushes; the E101 and the E103 (£1.99 each). Read on to  see what I think of them.

The shade names from left to right; top row:

Bias, Neutral,  Personal, Vogue, Trend, New-tral, Tone, Custom

Bottom row:

Cool, Style, Partial, Mode, Adapt, Buff, Suit, Strong

I'm sorry about the uneven lighting, it was a nightmare! Bias and  cool are very pale shades, hence why they don't show up too well.

Pros 

• The shadows are very pigmented.
• They're a creamy powder consistency.
• They blend beautifully.
• Nice combination of mattes and shimmers.
• Perfect for those who enjoy a bold look or a more neutral one.

Cons

• By the end of the day they had creased and basically absorbed into my eyes completely , even with a primer. This was after 13 hours wear though, so it's to be expected.

Pros

• The E103 (right) blended and diffused the colour wonderfully without totally removing it.
• Both brushes have really soft synthetic bristles.

Cons

• The E101 (left)  left more pigment on the brush than it did on my eye. I'm going to put this down to it being brand new, as I find that when brushes are too clean, they're not as good.

Pros

• Smells delicious.
• Comes out in a nice even spritz.
• Nice size bottle.

Cons

• I found it made me look more shiny  and didn't help control my oiliness . I really like a matte finish though whereas you might like more of a glow.

Verdict

Overall I was a bit disappointed with the fixing spray,  I would have been very happy to find something to keep my shine at bay. I've only been using it about a week though so maybe it'll improve with more use!

I like the brushes, the fluffy blending one is going to become one of my favourites, I can already tell.

The palette is beautiful. I'm a sucker for eyeshadow  palettes anyway but I especially love the mix of  regular neutrals and  some unusual ones such as  the pinks, its a very versatile palette and you can create an array of different looks. I love the shimmers and think this is a perfect palette for autumn/winter.

Do you have this palette? what are your thoughts on it? I know the pink shades put some people off. Leave me a comment with your  thoughts and follow me on Bloglovin!

Thanks for reading and I'll speak to you soon,
