My First Impressions of the I Heart Makeup Chocolate Elixir Palette


Last year I accumulated a lot of eyeshadow palettes, one of the many perks of being a beauty blogger. About a week or so before Christmas I had a surprise gift from the team at Tam Beauty which I was not expecting and I was pretty excited to see their new I Heart Makeup Chocolate Elixir Palette*. I know Tam Beauty might have quite a few chocolate palettes to choose from, but this is the first one I own and I was pretty excited when I opened the lid and saw some beautiful looking eyeshadows inside. My excitement continued when I realised that this was a very similar looking palette to the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette, which has been on my wish list for so long. My reasoning's for never treating myself to the MR palette, is because I really do own far too many eyeshadow palettes, that combined with the price tag, I just don't know if I can justify it yet. So I'm more than happy to have something very similar looking in my collection. So if you're in the same boat as me or just want a palette that's just as pretty as the MR palette, then keep on reading.

Makeup Revolution I Heart Makeup - I Heart Obsession Palettes


My love for Makeup Revolution grows by the day and this week my love for the brand continues to glow a little bit more. Unless you've been living under a rock, you will know Makeup Revolution are a brand that continuously brings us release after release of amazingly beautiful makeup products and their most recent launch are the I Heart Makeup, I Heart Obsession Palettes. There are five in the collection and thanks to MUR I've managed to get my hands on two, and today I want to talk to you in detail just how gorgeous these beauties are. 

Each palette has ten shadows and have the perfect mixture of shimmer and matte shades - Eyeshadows that will help you create every kind of look, night and day. Each palette costs £3.99, with each shadow being of great quality, so it's amazing value for money. What I really love about these shadows is that they are super pigmented, blend really well on the lids and don't have too much fall out. The shimmery shades are really shimmery and the matte shades create so much depth and dimension to your makeup look. The name of these palettes are very appropriate, because in the short space of time that I've had them, I've developed quite the obsession for them.


First up we have the 'Wild is the Wind' palette. At first glance I thought that these shades were a little bit out of my comfort zone - I'm a neutrals girl at heart, and tend to stick with wearable browns and light beiges. However I've surprised myself as this is the palette I've been reaching for the most, although these shades look a little daunting they are actually very wearable. This palette has a good mixture of warm toned purples and cool breezy blues. There's also a few nude shades thrown in and a deep charcoal grey, which are great base and transitional colours. With purple not being an eyeshadow shade that I've gone too in the past, it's quickly become my go too colour and I find that it really compliments my brown eyes - It gives them a nice pop.  Whilst I've yet to brave the blues, I've made a promise to make good use of these when summer comes around. The aqua blue shade at the top is so pretty and will look amazing under the lower lash line in the summer. Overall this is such a great palette and if you're looking to step out of your comfort zone a little and try new shades that are not too daring, I would recommend picking this up.


Next up we have the 'Pure Cult' palette, a palette which I actually adore. Like I mentioned I love my neutral shades, so this palette really does have my name written all over it! Right away this palette reminded me of the UD Naked 3 palette just because most of the nudes have a lovely warm pink tone to them. As well as pink toned nudes, there are also some lovely bronze shades thrown in and a gorgeous deep brown shade that has a purple undertone, a shade which compliments all the shades in this palette perfectly. Again this palette has a great choice of shimmery shades and mattes to choose from. I would describe this palette as the perfect girly girl eye makeup palette, if you love your pinks and that perfect girl next door kind of look, this is the palette for you. There are some amazing shades in there that will take you from day to evening, I have literally become obsessed with it.

Overall I love these two palettes, there are three more palettes in the I Heart Obsession collection which look equally as good and have made it's way on to my wish list. If you looking to pick up any of these palettes be sure to head over to the Makeup Revolution website and add some to your basket, but be quick as they're limited edition!

I would love to know if your picking any of these palettes up, and what ones your going for? Let me know in the comments below.

Lots of Love
