So I'm sure you guys remember last year when Anastasia Beverly Hill released their newest, eagerly awaited eyeshadow palette - The Subculture palette and I am also sure you guys would have heard the negativity surrounding the palette. I watched numerous YouTubers bash the Subculture palette time and time again and it definitely put me off purcasing it for myself - it is a hefty price of £43 to pay for an eyeshadow palette after all and for a supposedly bad one at that.
So when I heard that not only did Makeup Revolution come out with a 15 shade eyeshadow palette for only £4 but it was also a dupe for the Subculture palette I was very excited indeed as the shades in the palette just screamed my name.
There are 4 eyeshadow palettes in the Re-Loaded collection - Iconic Fever, Newtrals 2, Iconic Vitality, and Iconic Division and they are all only £4 each. Makeup Revolution really are the gods of budget makeup.

I used number 11 as my transition shade in the crease then number 6 in the crease and outer corner then number 15 to deepen the outer corner then number 9 on the lid and number 1 in the inner corner.
The Makeup Revolution Re-Loaded Iconic Division Eyeshadow Palette has 12 mattes and 3 shimmers and the colours are absolutely stunning with neutrals, cool tones, pops of green, oranges, burgundys and a mustard shade. The mattes in the palette are really pigmented, blend well together on the eyes, create barely any fall out, last really long on the eyes and are such good quality for such an affordable palette. The shimmers I found were nearly like foils when applied and I loved the bronze and the green shade (numbers 4 and 9) but I do have to say that I was a little underwhelmed with shade number one which is a duo chrome white/pink shade. I just didn't find it to be very pigmented at all I really had to dig into it to get any shadow onto my brush or finger and I had to scrape the top layer off to even get any colour payoff. Once I had the top layer scraped off and had wet my brush a good bit I did like it for a subtle highlight in the inner corner of my eyes. The shimmer shades definitely performed a lot better when I applied them with my finger or my wet brush. All in all I absolutely love this eyeshadow palette and I can definitely see myself reaching for it a lot. Lots of different looks can be created with it and it really is amazing for the price.
Hope this review helped some of you.
Lots of Love
