Hi Loves,
Hope you’re well. If you have been following me on social media then you must be aware of my recent posts about Makeup Revolution’s ‘Fortune favours the Brave’ palette. This is Jane Cunningham aka British Beauty Blogger’s collaboration with Makeup Revolution London. Jane has been working on this since 2015 and she finally posted some pics about this palette early March 2016 (that is when she thought is the right time and the palette was ready to hit the market). The official launch date was 17th March but Makeup Revolution launched it on 14th March exclusively on their website. I received mine on 16th but most people got it on 17th March so the Instagram, Twitter and Youtube was filled with images and videos of this palette (that’s very clever of MUR!!!)
Now let’s talk about palette 🙂
Packaging
MUR has really amped up the packaging for this launch..and I can see Jane wanted nothing else but PERFECTION! The palette comes in gold card box with some embossed round logo detail. Casing is made of plastic but has gold matte paint which makes it stand out among traditional MUR palettes. It comes with a full size mirror and a double ended brush
which I think makes it very travel friendly (you need not carry a separate mirror). Looks very chic and classy just like you expect from high end palettes!
Shades
It has 30 shades from lights to really dark ones, Jane has covered us all! She has also given names to each shade and names are very appropriate. The palette comes with a plastic sheet that has all the names written (like we have with Sleek makeup palettes). I have included swatches to give idea of shades 🙂
Formula
This 30 pan palette is full of creamy mattes, sheens and metallic eyeshadows. The formula seems great as most of the shadows are very easily blendable. I had trouble with just one eyeshadow (Soft shade) and that’s mainly because they were not showing up well on my Olive skin. The other shades are very pigmented and shows up beautifully on my skin.
Look how beautiful the shimmery shades look and some metallics have flakes of other metallic shades too..I have not seen any drugstore palette more beautiful than this.
Price
We usually see that if there is a collaboration of brands with top notch Bloggers or Celebs, the prices of product becomes ridiculously high. This is not the case with this palette. You can buy this for just £9.99 in the UK. If you order through Makeup Revolution App, you can get a discount of 20% with a discount code they provide for downloading. The palette will be available in the Superdrug stores from next week hopefully.
Swatches
This palette is a total winner for me and will be very helpful for someone who doesnot want to invest much but need just one palette to try various looks.
Overall rating: 4.8/5

This post is not sponsored and I bought this palette from my hard earned money.
This is so so sooooo beautiful!!!! I literally fell in love with it when I first saw it on MUR’s instagram page. 😍 It was launched only a week back I guess. Lucky you!!! 😁 all the shades are so awesomely pigmented. ♥ I’d have bought this palette instantly if I was in UK 😝
You’re so quick Dipti.. Thanks for checking the post at odd hours. I appreciate the love and support you give for my blog.
Yes the palette is stunning and has all possible shades and textures at an amazing price.
Such a beautiful palette!
Thanks for dropping a comment Sam. I am in love with this palette already and I know I will make good use of it.
This is amazing palette I ever seen of MUR. From where I can purchase this palette? Please reply. I’m from India.
Thanks for leaving a comment Pritika. This is indeed an amazing palette with different shades and textures. This is yet to be launched in India but you can order directly from MUR UK website. I will ask Adam (Creator of this brand) directly about its launch in India as I get so many enquiries about this palette. I hope you are following me on social media (Instagram/Facebook/Twitter) to stay updated about new launches, blog posts and wonderful swatches 🙂
Stay connected, loads of love

Hello! I am from America and I’ve been trying to get my hands on this for a month!! I’m prepared to order from the UK site and bite the shipping costs just to get it but I have no idea if it’ll even be restocked on the website! Do you know if this will be restocked or will it be exclusive to the UK?
Thanks Catherine for checking out this post. I have asked your ques to Adam (creator of the brand ) and Jane (Creator of this palette) directly. I will get back to you as soon as I hear from them.
Hey Catherine, This palette will be stocked in the USA in about 4 weeks time from now as told by Jane (Britishbeautyblogger). So, hopefully you will be able to get your hands on it soon. Loads of love, all the way from the UK.
