Makeup Revolution Acid Brights Palette Review

So, I'm one of many bloggers/ YouTubers excited about the new brand Makeup Revolution. They are a budget brand with prices starting from £1, they have lots of dupes and some lovely products. Style and packaging wise, they seems slightly more upmarket than MUA but do have some similar items.

This palette is a dupe for the Sleek palette of a similar name. It also contains similar bright shades to those found in the Urban Decay Electric Palette, which I it's admit I am dying to get my hands on! 

Here's how the palette looks:


There's a mixture of matte and shimmer shades here and I must say the shimmer ones are much more pigmented and apply more easily. This is always true of such shades, but I feel it's particularly the case here. The colours go on much better over a white base like a NYX eye crayon or white primer that sets. 

Here's the swatches in daylight with no base:


Here's the swatches under electric light:


You can see the second, third and tenth shades hardly show up. A primer really helps or you could use them wet. 

I attempted a bright eye look with the palette but realised afterwards I should have packed the colour on more. I used a Jordana eyeshadow stick in white as a base here:


It is pretty but not that dramatic! I prefer the MUA poptastic palette I think...

Overall it's worth grabbing this palette for only £4 as it's quite fun, but I think the Sleek one is probably better! I don't have it but a friend of mine rates it highly...
