Hello
chocolate lovers! Today’s post is about the two most coveted eye shadow
palettes from the I Heart Makeup range of Makeup Revolution London namely, I ♡ Makeup I Heart
Chocolate palette and I ♡ Makeup Naked Chocolate
palette. These combine the two greatest loves of ours-chocolate and makeup!
There is another palette in this range but it is sadly not available in
Pakistan at the moment. Read on to learn of our experiences with these
delectable products.
I ♡ Makeup Naked Chocolate
Palette
Product Claims
Naked
Chocolate contains 16 stunning eye shadows for perfect bare to smokey eyes,
mixture of shimmer and matte shades. 3D chocolate palette with full size mirror
and applicator.
What Do We Think?
This
has become our favourite eye shadow palette for a multitude of reasons, which
are all justified completely. It comes in a cardboard box with white chocolate
printed on the front and back and purple text embossed over it. The front
presents a mouth watering view of a delicious melting white chocolate bar. On
sliding the bar out, the plastic feels quite sturdy so travelling with it
shouldn’t be an issue considering it comes with a full sized mirror inside. The
names of the individual shades have been printed on a clear plastic sheet that
covers the rectangular pans, two of which are longer than the others (Smoothly
and Way). The names all go brilliantly with the chocolate theme and the palette
gives off a seductive cocoa scent. It comes with a two sided white sponge
applicator, which is nice and firm. The quality is the best we have tried so
far with amazing pigmentation. The
texture is superb as each shade glides on effortlessly and blends like a dream.
Wearing them over the Makeup Revolution Focus & Fix eye primer, they still
looked freshly applied after six hours on a summer’s day so I am certain their
lasting power is pretty good. We adore this unique collection of mattes and
shimmers.

I ♡ Makeup I Heart
Chocolate Palette
Product Claims
Pick
and mix for your eyes. You will want to try EVERY chocolate in the box! Mixture
of mattes and shimmers.
What Do We Think?
This
is rumoured to be a perfect dupe for the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette. The
packaging is exactly like the Naked Chocolate palette except for the colour, which
represents an irresistible melting milk chocolate that looks good enough to
eat! The sponge applicator is black in colour but the arrangement of the mirror
and pans does not deviate from its sister palette. The quality of all the
shades is not consistent but the majority of them perform really well. The
pigmentation is really good except for Meet Chocolate. The names are pretty
interesting and follow the romantic chocolate theme as well to enhance the
chocolate-y experience. Using the Makeup Revolution Focus & Fix eye primer,
they looked perfect even after six hours on a summer’s day. The lasting power
actually depends on the individual performance of each shade and how oily your
lids are. It offers a nice variety of matte and shimmer shades for day and
night looks both.

In
conclusion, we feel the Naked Chocolate palette definitely wins in terms of
quality but it really depends on what your priorities are. The problematic
shades in the I Heart Chocolate palette are not hopeless and can be made to
work with a little effort. The fact that it is an extremely affordable dupe for
Too Faced Chocolate Bar tilts the scales in its favour for those who find the
Chocolate Bar too expensive. It offers a splendid variety of plums, chocolate
browns, golds, grey-browns, some pretty highlight options and a gorgeous
shimmery indigo. It presents a few nice matte brown crease choices too. The Naked Chocolate palette revolves around
soft browns, chocolate browns, golds, golden browns, plums and mauve hues. It
has excellent mid-tone and deep matte crease shades and delicate shimmers including
a copper. Both palettes are remarkable for the price tag and a must have for
chocolate lovers!
