Makeup Revolution Iconic 1 & 3 Palettes - review!

This review will be on the UK brand, Makeup Revolution London, on palettes Iconic 1 and Iconic 3. I'm sure you already know or assume these are dupes for the UD Naked 1 & 3 palettes. Now I already own the UD Naked 2 palette, as well as a MUA dupe, so I thought it'd be silly to get another dupe. I also haven't been able to bring myself to spend so much money on more UD naked palettes. They're good quality yes, but I think the price is much too high for what you get. In Australia, it's usually $66-$85 to buy a UD Naked palette, excluding the shipping! Anyways on to the review,

These palettes were very affordable and I had seen pretty good reviews on them. I had a pretty big order, 5 eye palettes, 2 blush/contour palettes, eyebrow palette, bronzer and single blusher - these were a mixture of Makeup Revolution and their "sister brand "I <3 Makeup". They were $7.24 AUD each + $14.38 shipping for everything.


So these are basically exact dupes for the naked palettes, well appears to be. I think these are amazing quality for their cost. Well pigmented, soft, easy to blend and the case is pretty sturdy, although plastic. I have included swatches in the photos. The first photo Is the Iconic 1 and the second photo is the Iconic 3. Both pictures have been taken with flash.

So definitely check out makeup revolution, awesome products and they ship internationally. Definitely worth it!

URBAN DECAY NAKED SKIN FOUNDATION

So I LOVE this foundation. I've had this for a long time but remember being iffy on it because of reviews. How silly. 
Since I'm super fair skinned, I got this in shade 1.0 which is a perfect match. I'd say this foundation is medium coverage yet buildable. It's incredibly easy to blend whether you use a sponge or buffing brush. I primarily use this during winter because I get very oily on my nose so when there's any warmth in the weather, certain makeup doesn't last long at all. If you have normal to dry skin, I think this would probably work for you. 

Below I have 3 photos, first is about half a pump, as you can see, its very runny. I actually really like some runny foundations. Second photo is it just spread around and the 3rd is it blended in. It takes a little while to dry but once it has, it looks like your skin. It really does! 


This foundation is wonderful. As it says, its definitely weightless, looks like skin and photos well. The packaging is hard plastic, not too heavy but definitely doesn't feel cheap. (I think the packaging is beautiful)
The smell reminds me of some Mac foundations, a little bit different, it doesn't bother me though. 
So go ahead and try this foundation out. Go to findation.com to find out which foundations would match you best! 

If you like any videos, please feel free to ask and I'll put them up once I get my camera set up! Ta, k.
