I Heart Slogan Explicit Content Palette Review...




I Heart Slogan Explicit Content Palette - I Heart Makeup 

Hello and welcome back to my blog. I have been shopping again (oops!) You see, those guys at Makeup Revolution keep releasing awesome products at really affordable prices and I just can't resist!

My latest purchase is this 36 piece eyeshadow palette from their sister line 'I Heart Makeup'. Entitled 'Explicit Content'. It is one of four slogan palettes they have available. 

The theme to the palette is the top row - Get Naked are the nude/wearable shades. Then the next rows down - Use Me Up have a mixture of neutral shades and darker shades. Then the bottom row - Be Explicit has the darker and smokier shades for your naughty side or night time. 

There are 30 shimmery/satin shades and six matte shades and they are ALL super pigmented. 

Here's a closer look...








There are a great mix of neutrals, brights, shimmers, mattes and dark shades in this palette. You could create so many looks with this. This is the reason I bought it. It's compact enough to take on a weekend away for example and create a subtle day look and then vamp it up at night!

I didn't expect these eyeshadows to be as pigmented and soft as they are. They are really smooth to the touch and have amazing colour payoff.









That is all four rows swatched DRY on DRY skin and NO primer (in natural light). Pretty amazing, huh?

And here's a close up of a few I will be wearing for Autumn...Just look at that pigmentation! :-0


I should also mention the packaging. As always with Makeup Revolution you get very sturdy packaging and a huge, high quality mirror - which is always appreciated!

The casing on this one is super cool. As you tilt it back and forth the holographic logo on the front changes colour and pattern. :-)

So, if you like the look the look of this palette (who wouldn't?) you can buy it from Makeup Revolution online or from Superdrug (many Superdrug stores now carry Makeup Revolution) and it costs just £7.99!!

Three Series : Topshop Eyeshadows.



Ok, so whilst in Topshop last week I decided to have a mooch through their make-up section. I may have gasped out loud when I saw these. Why? Well, it's worth noting that I have magpie like tendencies and am drawn to anything sparkly or glittery. So, these three super shimmery bejewelled duo-chromed shadows are right up my street!


U-Turn 2.4g

I picked up this one first, due to it's likeness to MAC's Green Brown Pigment (which I sadly cannot find anywhere) I wouldn't say this is a dupe for MAC Green Brown pigment but it's very similar. A gorgeous pigmented super shimmery green and gold duo-chrome. I absolutely love this and cannot wait to use it as we head into Autumn.


Shuffle The Cards 2.4g

Shuffle The Cards is a gorgeous rose gold shade, you could even say pink bronze shade. This reminds me a lot of MAC's Pink Bronze pigment (which I DO own) Again super shimmery, well pigmented, smooth and very wearable. This will look gorgeous with a matte brown or pink in the crease, especially against green eyes. (It DID say Topshop on the surface when bought!).

Wax & Wane 2.4g

Last but not least, Wax & Wane. A purple/blue brown duo-chrome. This one is comparable to MAC's Blue Brown pigment (which I DO own) and I love both of them. This is so multi dimensional, shimmery, pigmented and looks stunning on the eyelid. I can see this making a smokey eye more interesting for the upcoming party season. (Again the Topshop imprint has worn off).


L-R Shuffle The Cards, Wax & Wane and U-Turn.

Aren't they just stunning? I'm so glad I discovered these, I know I will get a lot of use out of all of them. I plan to wear these on the lid with a matte shadow in the crease and under the lash line to add a bit of ''pizzazz'' to a neutral look. I highly recommend you have a look at these if you are a fan of iridescent eye shadows, they certainly deliver on the shimmer front!

There are only three shades available and cost £8 each. Available from Topshop

Which one do you like the look of?

Have you tried any of these?
