Urban decay naked palette vs makeup revolution Iconic 1 Palette Swatches and Review

Top - Urban Decay Naked Palette
Bottom - Makeup Revolution ironic 1 Palette

Ok so lately I am aware that I have been spending way too much money on makeup and I seriously need to start saving for a deposit on a house. I have been on the look out for cheaper makeup products that have the same quality as the high end brands, or makeup dupes that are a little bit cheaper. So I have finally jumped on the Makeup Revolution bandwagon and have discovered a palette that claims to be a dupe for the Urban Decay Naked Palette, which is probably one of my favourite neutral and most used palette so I thought for £4 why not give it ago.

After swatching both palettes I can honestly say without a doubt that some of the colours in both palettes are very similar in colour and texture. However the pigmentation of the shimmery shades are much better than the matte shades, and the lighter shades in the palette are pigmented but quiet chalky. Therefore my overall opinion is that the ironic palette is not an exact dupe of the naked palette as only 7 of the shades are similar and some are way off, the packaging could be better and I'm not too keen on the brush that comes with the palette. But I would still use the palette as the colours are still gorgeous and its a great price for the quality you are receiving and I don't have to use the brush that comes with the palettes, so I would recommend you try this palette if you like neutral shades. 

Have you tried any other Makeup Revolution Platte if so which ones do you recommend?

How Much Is My Face Worth

I have seen many beauty bloggers doing the "how much is my face worth" lately and thought that it was such a  good and fun idea to do it too, as I do use a variety of both high-end and drugstore makeup products in my everyday routine and was very intrigue as to what my total would be.

Primer benefit porefessional - £24.50

Foundation MAC studio fix fluid - £21.50

Face setting Mac studio fix - £21.50

OMG!!! I  am seriously shocked at the total as I wasn't expecting it to be this much, and it has really made me think about how much money I spend on makeup, However I think one good thing is that I am actually using my makeup and not hoarding it so its not a complete waste of money and it is what works with my skin best and makes me happy.
