Makeup Revolution Go Palette Review and Swatches

The Makeup Revolution Go Palette ($5.98) is such an incredible palette, I'm kind of sad I didn't review it sooner! I originally got it free with a purchase during the Black Friday sale and I kept meaning to do a review and swatches but there were so many new products coming out for the new year that it kept getting pushed back. Then the other day, I was thinking that I haven't done a Makeup Revolution review in a while, so I took this baby out and couldn't believe how great it is. And...it's an exact Naked 3 dupe, well at least the 6 eyeshadows that are in here are. Keep reading to see my comparison swatches at the end of this post. 

The Go Palette is meant to be a something you can just throw in a bag and go...it has 6 eyeshadows, a blush, bronzer and highlighter. It's a large flat disc shape (about the size of a CD, only thicker), so it's not the smallest palette for traveling with, however it does have a lot of product in it and because of it's size, the pans are larger and easier to get my fingers or a brush in there so I don't mind. I'm just not a fan of travel palettes with tiny little eyeshadows in general.
It reminds me a LOT of the Tarte Showstopper and Rainforest After Dark palettes, at least in design.

The eyeshadows are really beautiful rose-toned neutrals and there's a nice range of shades including a matte white (actually, off-white) and shimmery pinks, bronze, brown and dark purple. The pigmentation is excellent, as usual. I can easily compare these shadows to Urban Decay or Too Faced...it's amazing to get this level of buttery, pigmented shadows in a $6 palette...just crazy. 

The blush, bronzer and highlight are a little more subtle.  The highlighter is a white with a hint of pink in it, while the blush is a candy pink shade. I was most surprised by the bronzer which looked light brown in the pan but swatched more of a pinky brown. As a fair-skinned person, I love a pinky brown bronzer because it mimics a real tan. Fair skin usually gets pink when you're out in the sun and then turns tan later but it still keeps that pink tone to it...at least mine does. So I always look for pink-toned bronzers because they look the most natural on me. It's just a hard thing to find because most are warm and have yellow/orange undertones, so I was really happy with this one.

When I first saw the Go Palette, I didn't immediately think of the Naked 3 palette, but as I was swatching the eyeshadows, they were starting to look really familiar to me.  So I took out my Naked 3 to compare them and while I was at it, I took out my Naked Flushed palette to see if the blush/bronzer/highlighter combo was a match as well.

The eyeshadows turned out to be exact dupes! I knew they would be close, but I had no idea how close...I can't tell the difference in these swatches at all. 

The blush, bronzer and highlighter shades weren't a match, but Urban Decay does make the Flushed Palettes in a few other shade combinations so maybe there's a dupe out there (mine is the shade Native). Still, it's a similar idea even if the colors don't match 100%.

Overall, the Makeup Revolution Go Palette is an incredible deal at only $5.98! Not only are the colors super silky and pigmented, but this is like a travel version of the Naked 3 with 6 identical dupes in it, not to mention a similar to the Naked Flushed blush, bronzer and highlighter. I'll be using this all summer and bringing it on vacation with me for sure!
