I've Had this Palette for a while now it's the Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 | £4. I purchased mine from Superdrug, the main reason I got this palette is becasue I've heard the Iconic range are dupes for the Urban Decay Naked Palettes.
The first thing you notice about the palette is the packaging, at first sight it looks cheap, its that shiny black plastic that all drug store brands use. The Iconic 3 looks very much like the Naked 3 palette, you can tell that the colours are very similar.
The palette comes with an applicator, however I find these pointless as they don't compare to the results I get when using a brush (I have used this one for the swatches). Below are my swatches, they don't have names so when I talk about my favourites and least favourites I have just given them a number in which they are in the palette.

Shades that I was particularly loved with were:
1 - I have been disappoint with matte shades in previous Makeup Revolution palettes but this white shade is so pigmented. I cant help but love it!
6 - This copper/gold shade is very pigmented and blends out like a dream.
11 - This shade has a sort of duo chrome affect, it has both pink and silver undertones.
Shades I was Disappointed in:
3 - I was expecting this shade to be extremely pigmented and shimmery but instead it barely shows on my skin and it can't be built up.
4 - A disappointing matte shade that lacks pigment. This shade in the palette looks like a really nice colour, it's a shame that it doesn't show as well on skin.
I think this palette is a steal at £4, in comparison to my Naked palette, the quality of these shadows is amazing for the price and I could definitely use this palette to replace my other. I think the price difference really sways my decision as the Naked palette is £38.50. Find my overall rating below:
