Makeup Revolution I Heart Makeup Chocolate Elixir Palette Review

Skin Type: Oily, sensitive with oily eyelids

Hi everyone,

I am back with loads of new products this month and I will first review a super gorgeous eye shadow palette. When I first saw this makeup palette in some tutorials and reviews, I was totally impressed to see the colors in the palette. Also, as many claimed, it is a dupe of the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette, not only color wise but also formula wise. I waited for it to get launched in India so that I can check that on my own. I picked it up last month and I am ready to share my thoughts on it today.

My Experience with Makeup Revolution I Heart Makeup Chocolate Elixir Palette:

Packaging: Makeup Revolution has absolutely nailed the packaging of all the eyeshadow palettes in this range. It looks elegant, beautiful, sleek and modern. The palette comes in a normal clear front cardboard box and inside the box, sits the melted chocolate bar. The melted effect is done in golden and it adds a beautiful contrast to the brown palette. There is a big, beautiful mirror inside the palette which makes it travel friendly. It comes with a sponge applicator which will help if you are in a hurry and need a quick application.

Shades:
Being a dusky girl, I love warm-toned shadows as they show up super vibrantly on my eyes. This is my perfect choice, keeping that in mind. It does contain a few cool-toned shades, but overall it is a warm palette. It is versatile and women of any age and color can feel comfortable with this one. You can create a variety of eye makeup looks using this palette. The shade names are pretty unique and will remind you of a old-styled café and pastry shop.

Pigmentation: The pigmentation is quite okay I would say. Not all colors show up in the first swipe, especially on my darker skin tone; however, 2-3 swipes show up the color perfectly. Some of them are super pigmented too. The colors are buildable and you can build up the intensity without any fear of creasing.

Texture and Quality: All shades are very silky and smooth. They blend like a dream on the lids and as I mentioned earlier, do not crease at all. The shimmery shades are not patchy and they blend uniformly to give a shiny effect. The colors do not settle into fine lines either.

Staying Power:  Even without a primer, the colors survive for 8-10 hours which I think is great. You must use an oil-based remover to remove all shades perfectly.

In the swatches, I have used shades from this palette to create the look. I have also used the shimmery shades as highlighters.

Overall, this is a great palette. I do not know if this is a dupe of the Modern Renaissance palette as I have not used that, but the colors do look similar if you compare and the quality is also great at this price. If you are a fan of these colors, do give this palette a try.
