makeup revolution sugar and spice ultra blush palette review + swatches

i recently picked up the beautiful blush palette from makeup revolution. it comes with 8 shades which are all so pigmented and gorgeous. this is only £6 which is just amazing for the quality. there is 2 bronzers in this palette along with 6 blushes. there is also a baked highlighter and a baked blush which are so pretty! also could you excuse my puffy and discoloured hands that's what chronic pain does to you ;( another thing is one of the bronzers I forgot to swatch and take a photo but you will be able to see it in another photo xxx 

first of all I'm going to be showing you what the palette looks like and the packaging.

the packaging off this is super sleek and isn't cheap looking at all despite being very inexpensive! 

packaging - 9/10 

this is an overview of all the colours which are all so pretty. you have basically all the colours you need minus a few more pinky shades which are included in the other ultra blush palettes. I think it's really good that they included the bronzers and highlight in it as its great 

colour selection - 7/10

as you can see the colours are a bit darker in real life so I would definitely open it before buying. 

first swatch I'm going to show you is the highlighter which is just such a gorgeous baked highlight.

this is so pigmented and just has a lovely shimmer and glow to it. it has a bit of a pink tone to it which is just so flattering on the cheek bones. 

I rate this - 9/10

next is a blush which quite a bright pink colour which looks so lovely and gives a rosy flush.

this is probably one of the most pigmented blushes I have tried. great for winter and can be built up to your preferred look. personally this isn't an everyday colour for me so i have not used it that much.

I rate this - 7/10

next one I'm going to show you is the one of the bronzers which is such a good shade for me as I have pale skin. depending on your skin tone this can be used as a blush but it works for both! 

this isn't as pigmented as the other blushes but it it can be built up until you want your desired look. I can't believe how good the colour is for me! I use this more for bronzing up my skin rather than contouring but I'm sure this will work for that as well depending on your skin tone. another good thing is this is matte which in my eyes is always a plus for a bronzer!

I rate this - 8/10

*forgot to swatch the darker bronzer but it's the same as the the other one but darker*

next is another blush which is a baked plum coloured blush which is just the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!! 

as you can see this is like a highlight plus a blush which is honestly gorgeous, it's very shimmery which i really like but it is very very shimmery almost sparkly. this is a lovely autumn colour and just again a really nice rosy colour. again this isn't an everyday colour but I might use it quite a lot in the autumn. 

I rate this - 9/10

next is probably one of my favourites as its a lovely peachy colour which looks so natural and perfect for the upcoming warmer months. 

this isn't as pigmented as the other ones but is a lovely subtle natural colour. this is mostly matte and is just a great everyday peachy colour.

I rate this - 9/10

next is a lovely plum colour which is the perfect matte autumn blush!

 

this is one of the more pigmented ones and its just so creamy and looks amazing on the cheeks. even though it looks kind of scary when you put it on its actually very flattering and not really red. 

I rate this - 8/10

last blush is another plum colour which is slightly lighter than the other one in this picture but is actually darker in real life?!

I don't know why it shows up lighter but hay ho! this is actually a bit too dark for my skin so I don't really use this one. however if you have the skin tone I think this would look beautiful. this is not quite matte but not shimmery which is probably my favourite type of blush. 

I rate this - 6/10

overall I absolutely love this palette definitely recommend, even if you aren't going to use all the shades as one single blush is usually around £6 in the drugstore and it's just really handy to travel with or experimenting!
