Sorry for my absence - summer has been busy with plenty of fun activities seeing family and friends, along with the inevitable college work!
Anyway, after seeing a lot of my fellow beauty bloggers raving about this palette, I thought I'd have to jump on the bandwagon and pick up Makeup Revolution's 'Fortune Favors The Brave' palette.
The palette has a bronze/gold exterior, which makes it look really classy. It does chip slightly, as I discovered when I dropped this on the way home in the rain (long story lol), but this is to be expected. I love the emblem on the front as well.
I was literally mesmerised the moment I opened the palette. The pans for the eyeshadows are quite small, but look really nice in little circles - after all, you are getting 30 eyeshadows, so I can't complain! The marbled shades are absolutely beautiful, and these are the ones I am most excited to use.
The variety of colours is amazing - if you want just one eyeshadow palette, this is one to pick up. For £10, you get 30 shades, ranging from your standard neautrals with pinks to varying shades of green and blue. Some of these shades may not suit me, especially dark ones like 'revolution' (the last one on the last row, a very dark purple shade), but you have all the choice you need.
Although I did some swatches on my arm, I decided not to include them in this post, as the pigmentation massively varies. On the lighter shades, such as 'glimmer' (the first pinky shade on the first row), you barely get any colour payoff. I would choose to use these as a very light base, as you would get very little if you were to use this as even a base colour. Darker colours, like the marbled ones, have insane pigmentation - one swipe and you are ready to go. For drugstore eyeshadow, this pigmentation issue is to be expected.
Overall, I am in love with this palette and have no regrets about picking up this palette. I am super excited to experiment with the colours properly.
Have any of you tried out this palette? If not, are you considering buying it? Let me know!
