PEANUT BUTTER CUP

VIDEO TUTORIAL

For this project I paired up with Makeup Revolution and presented their ‘new’ palette called Peanut butter cup. The palette has been launched before as a limited edition piece in their I heart chocolate Christmas gift box. However, you can now purchase it on its own.

Warm Brown Obsession found in Red Velvet

I have purchased these two palettes at around the same time and I have been using them frequently. When writing a review about a certain makeup product, I find it really important that it was used several weeks or even months, before it was spoken about its quality. Although I have had these two jewels in my collection for a longer period of time, I have recently noticed this similarity between them, which I thought I would share with you.

You might not see these similarities between them at first glance, since the Revolution palette has 18 shades, as far as Huda has only 9. But the shades match almost perfectly.

First I swatched Huda’s shades and then tried to find the closest possible color in the Red Velvet palette. I have to point out that some shades didin’t match perfectly, especially the lighter shade in Huda’s palette. For it I had to mix 2 shades from the Revolution palette.

As far as the quality goes I have to say that they are both well pigmented and creamy. Huda's shades might be more blendable and longlasting than Revolution's but that is expected. I am happy with bouth palette's color selection, which allows us to create several different looks. I suggest using eyeshadow primer in both cases, since we are talking about shades with red pigments, which can be a bit difficult to wash off in the first place.

ALL ABOUT RED VELVET

SWEET RED VELVET 

Here comes another post about I heart revolution's chocolate palettes! I have been using them for a few weeks now, so I could come up with quite a few makeup looks so far. I enjoyed the pigmentation and the smoothness of their eyeshadow, their long lasting formula doing its job even without spraying setting spray all over my face. For a makeup on a budget, they are a great find!

The eyeshadow palette, which I will be reviewing today, came in a Chocolate Heart box, which was released before Christmas of 2018. Along with it it contained the Praline face palette and the Peanut buttercup eyeshadow palette, which will be review soon on this blog. It contains 18 pans in total, 12 of them matt shades and 6 shimmering eyeshadows.

The look I came up with is warm toned with sparkles of gold. I suggest you prime your eyes before applying eyeshadow. Start with defining your crease and work your way towards the centre of the lid. Once you have blended it out nicely, apply the golden glittery color in Brown Sugar to the middle of the lid. Then apply Frosting to the inner corner of your eyes to make an awakened look. To finish it off apply some eyeshadow to the lower lash line and put on some mascara. I also put some golden glittery eyeliner to cur my crease, from the inner corner towards the outer.

I hope you found this useful and that it will inspire you to make some looks with these palettes too! I would like to know which one of the I heart revolution chocolate palettes is your favourite! Let me know in the comments!
