Hiya Everyone!
I've recently become obsessed with the brand I Heart Revolution, mainly due to their super aesthetically pleasing packaging, but also because of their fantastic quality for an affordable price. So, I thought I'd share my love for the chocolate palettes by doing a little swatch party.
So I Heart Revolution is part of Revolution Beauty, and what make's it standout is the chocolate bar packaging and aesthetic. It's hard to pass up such a cute looking palette, especially once you see the shadows hiding behind the chocolate. PLUS, these palettes smell like chocolate! Not the fancy expensive chocolate, but a chocolate scent nonetheless.
Okay, so these palettes look very similar - I know. But they are just so damn pretty that, of course, I just had to get them. And yes, I totally want every single other chocolate palette, even though I totally don't need them.
The great thing about these four palettes (and the rest of the chocolate palette collection), is that they are super wearable with pops of shimmer and colour to vamp up any look. You can go from a simple everyday look to something a little bolder and fancy, all with one palette.
The first palette is Nudes, probably the perfect everyday staple nude and brown palette, with a little pop of peach and purple. The 18-pan palette contains six straight shimmers, as well as two mattes containing specks of glitter. This is one of the two palettes that I constantly reach for, whether it be a casual everyday bit of colour of something a little bolder.
Between build-able mattes and stunning shimmers, this is a fantastic warm brown palette. And no matter how many similar palettes you have, you can't not be tempted by this one!
While were on super wearable and staple palettes is I Heart Chocolate, which I sure do (but who doesn't, chocolate is the bomb). This 16-pan palette contains seven shimmers, with three mattes containing glitter. The two double-pans are the perfect base and highlight colours, so it's good to have double the amount - you can go to town with the highlight with this one.
A slightly cool-tone palette, this is a great compliment to the Nudes palette. It also comes with a sponge brush applicator, not that I use it (why do brands include them with palettes? I'd much prefer a good but cheap brush, not a sponge.) Anyway, this is the other palette that I reach for - I'm a sucker for browns!
Does this palette not make you think you've won a golden ticket? The 24K Gold palette has shimmers galore, but still enough mattes you create a full look. Nine of the 16 pans are shimmers, one being a gorgeous green that you can't help but be drawn to.
This palette is really where you see the shimmers shine in all their glory, pun not intended. The shimmers in all these palettes are stunning and very pigmented. If you're a shimmer and foiled fan, this collection is definitely one to check out, particularly this palette.
The final palette, and by far the most colourful of all four here, is Macaroons. I don't know why macaroons are blue and turquoise, but that doesn't matter when the shade range is stunning. The pops of blue are like a beacon, calling my name. Of the eighteen shades, 14 are shimmers, three of which are foiled shifts. I hadn't actually realised how many shimmers were in this palette until sitting down to write this post, but they are all stunning.
Anyone else get beach vibes from this palette - golden beaches and gorgeous blue water? Anyone with a love of blues would love this palette in their collection, especially since the palette is super wearable with or without using the blues.
While we're swatching things, here's a little bonus for anyone who loves to shine bright like a diamond.
If you think these look gorgeously stunning in the pan, just wait until you see them on the skin. At just $8-$9, these highlighters, bronzers and blushes are blinding and on-par with some of the high-end brands, for just a fraction of the price. The three palettes are Bronze & Shimmer, Rose Gold Glow, and Peach & Glow, and, boy oh boy, do they make you glow.
A photo of swatches don't really do these duo's justice, because you need to see them in the light and how they reflect it. You can totally get your glow on and not break the bank with these.
I Heart Revolution is 100% a brand you need to check out if you've not already. And if you only dabbled in Makeup Revolution, get on board this chocolate/makeup train. It's affordable makeup in beautiful packaging that is a must-try for makeup lovers. Do I need more I Heart Revolution products? No. Am I going to get more products? Hell yes! See You Soon!
