Budget brand 'Makeup Revolution' haven't half been doing the round on blogs, have they?! First the highlighter heart tins, then the palettes, now the 'Atomic' lipstick collection. I parted with a fiver and picked up the entire collection (how often can you say that?!) for your viewing pleasure...
The 'Atomic' lipstick collection comprises of five lippies, ranging from a cute as pie pin-up red to a shade Medusa would have in her 'Everyday Make-up' posts if mythical beings had blogs (how amazing would that be?!)
Packaging is basically the same as MUA's £1 lipsticks (which aint too surprising) - black casing with a small amount of the actual product in a clear cap in the lid.
'Atomic Ruby' is a true 50s cherry red, with a creamy satin type finish. 'Make Me Magnificent' is a frosty/ metallic pale purpley pink shade, I think only the pale could really pull this one off! 'Make it Right' is simply diviiine - glowing shimmery medium 'true' purple - gorgeous! 'Make Me Tonight' is a purple toned brown, an ace Autumn/ 90s shade. 'Atomic Serpent' is a medium forest green with slight shimmer.
The formula has a lot of slip, which means wear time isn't excellent but what do you expect at £1 really?! 'Atomic Ruby' has a creamier formula than the others, and wears much better. I'd recommend lipliner bases with the shimmer shades.
Overall, not a bad collection at all! Nice colours to experiment with, pigmentation is pretty good and you can't argue with the price. After trying these I may make a purchase for some more of their £1 shades as I actually really liked the formula for 'Atomic Ruby', which I think is the standard formula across their other shades.
Price - £1 each
Availability - Superdrug stores or online at Makeup Revolution
What do you think to these shades? What are your favourite Makeup Revolution products?
I love these! Although they aren't shades I would normally go for they look great for experimenting and at £1 a pop you can't go wrong xx

Amazing, such interesting colors! My favorite are their palettes, I reviewed Girls on Film some time ago and it's beautiful :)
ReplyDelete@ Charli, precisely! Worth picking up just to play with!
ReplyDelete@ Ana, they're really lovely shades. Oooh I have that palette myself! I'll take a peak at you post :)
Unwearable? Except for the green, those are all colors I wouldn't hesitate to wear any place!
ReplyDeleteWould you recommend MUA or this?
ReplyDelete@ Laurie, ditto! Some folk just need to crawl out of their comfort zones.
ReplyDelete@ Colette and Beth, they are basically the same. I think MUA are more reliable in that their finishes are all cream types, whereas Makeup Rev mix it up a bit and can fall short doing so. Then again, for a quid, you aint losing too much if you aren't a fan :)
