Hi there!
A couple of weeks ago, I have ordered a few products from Revolution website. I spotted a new range from Roxi x Revolution, or should I say an extension to her first collaboration with the brand.
If you don't know who Roxi is, she is an English youtube, who focuses her videos on testing different clothing brands, makeup and beauty brands, she also does some food-related videos and her travelling vlogs are always so fun to watch and they really make you wanna travel the world.
Last year she announced her collaboration with Makeup Revolution as she created two eyeshadow palettes and a contour and highlight palette. I did not buy any of her products then, mostly because I have quite a few similar eyeshadow palettes, but this year she created a blush palette and a trio of liquid lipsticks.
Although I am not a big blush wearer, I decided that I'm gonna give it a go. So I ended up ordering the Blush burst face palette, Highlight and contour palette from her first release and the Ride or Die lip trio.
Blush burst palette:
When I first saw this product, the packaging reminded me a lot of Soph X Revolution highlighter palette that she created a few years ago. it is not my favourite kind of packaging especially because the plastic feels a bit cheap, but I know that Revolution has quite a few of their palettes in this packaging so I got kind of used to it.
The shade range of the blushes seems pretty good. There are eight different shades, four of them are aimed for lighter skin users and four of them for darker skin. Personally, I can use about three shades as blushes, maybe four, the rest are a bit too dark for me but I can use them as eyeshadow and I think I'll get good use out of them.
The texture of all of the shades is very nice. They are not all as buttery as I would like them, especially the ones with a bit of shimmer, but I still think they are very soft if you swatch them with your fingers. When I went in with the brush, I did notice a little bit of kickback in the pan, but it is nothing too drastic that you couldn't work with, but with the fact that they are not pressed as hard that also means they are a lot more pigmented and you need a very small amount to get the results that you'd like.
Overall I was pretty happy with the palette. For the price, 11.99€ I think it's a pretty good palette if you are looking for a cheaper but quality blush.
Highlight and contour palette:
I bought this palette because I do not have any good contour shades that would work for my skin tone. I am pretty pale and have kind of a yellow undertone to my skin, so I always struggled to find a good contour shade for myself.
The price of this palette is the same as the Blush burst palette and for that price, you get four contour shades and four highlight shades. They are created so that they fit most skin colours. I can personally use three contour shades and two highlighters.
The contour shades are all very soft when swatching with fingers, there was a little bit of kickback in the pan but very minimal. All shades are very easy to blend and are buildable, so if you prefer softer or a bit darker contour you can achieve it all with this palette.
The same goes for highlighters. They are very soft when you swatch them, they do have a tiny bit of kickback but that means that they are very pigmented and honestly I haven't used that good of a highlighter from affordable brands for a while. If you are looking for a good contour and highlight palette I would definitely recommend it and the price (11.99€)for a quality palette is super affordable.
Ride Or Die lip trio:
Most of the lipstick shades that I own are nudes. I do like to wear liquid lipstick but I never really found my perfect nude shade until now. Roxi created three shades in two different formulas, matt and cream. The price for all three is 11.99€. She named them after the places the shades remind her of, so the names of the three shades are New York, London and Tokyo.
I am not the biggest fan of liquid lipsticks, I guess because I never found any that would stay on for a long time and would be comfortable to wear. I think these are pretty good. The matt ones are a little bit too dry for me, but nothing a lip balm underneath them would fix it. It does affect the formula a bit so that it comes off quicker but it just feels better on my lips and it is easier to wear. However, the cream one is amazing. It is also my favourite shade out of all three. It is very light on the lips and even though it is a cream formula it stays on for a long time and I love it.
I think that overall this collection is really good. The products are amazing for the price that you pay. I would definitely recommend the entire collection.
I hope you are all staying safe and healthy!
Thank you so much for reading!
I will see you soon with a new post!
