When you think of spring and summer most people would think of experimenting by wearing brighter and bolder colours, well it looks like Charlotte Tilbury thought of the same thing when she brought out her new collection called Eye Colour Magic back in March. I bought two of the palettes back then, this one and also the Copper Charged palette which I will review next. However the Super Blue palette was the one that initially caught my eye as it's not the typical palette that Charlotte usually releases as we know her well for her warm toned eyeshadows, so I was very excited to buy this palette! As with the usual quads it comprises of the prime shade which here is a golden champagne shade, the enhance shade which is a gorgeous satin mid toned brown with a hint of gold to it, the smoke shade which is the beautiful dark midnight blue and then the pop shade which is this stunning jewel toned bright blue.
Here are the swatches. Honestly my photo doesn't do the pop shade much justice as it's hard to show the impact in a photo, but believe me on the eyes it's beautiful!
After using this palette several times now since I got it I absolutely love it and it may just actually be one of my favourite palettes by Charlotte Tilbury! I find that all the shades have a lot of pigment to them, meaning that you won't need to constantly dip your brush into the shadows that often for maximum impact, they last pretty much all day, I'd say 8 or 9 hours however I don't usually have to use an eye primer, so if you usually do then just put that on before you apply the shadows anyway. Also they blend like a dream too! The brand recently reformulated their eyeshadows and I can certainly see the difference, they were good before, however now they are just that extra bit smoother to apply, which seriously makes all the difference!
Here I'm wearing the enhance shade over the lids and then the smoke shade in the crease of my lids and slightly under my eyes (this photo was taken before lockdown, if you are wondering why my hair is actually tidy!).
Thanks for reading my review and if you have this palette too let me know what you think of it.
Stay safe

I know, it's a bold statement to make however I truly believe that this is the best eyeshadow palette at the drugstore! This palette was actually the first time I'd tried any makeup by Revolution and after using this palette I am already very impressed by the brand. This edition is a collaboration with now one of my favourite Youtuber's ever and that is Soph from the channel sophdoesnails (she used to specialise in nail tutorials but now focuses on makeup tutorials). I've only been subscribed to Soph's channel for about 2 months now but she's very quickly become my favourite Youtuber at the moment as she puts out both original and entertaining beauty content, whether that's makeup tutorials, reviews, makeup challenges her videos are just brilliant. I also feel that I can relate to her the most out of all of the channels I watch as she's of similar age to me and she buys and tests out the same type of beauty products to me, which is mainly drugstore but with a sprinkle of high end products now and then. As you will find out from the review I personally think that she's done an incredible job at producing her own eyeshadow palette and you can tell even just from the shades she's chosen to the eyeshadow textures that she surely knows what she's talking about when it comes to makeup.
The palette consists of 24 shades of both warm and cool tones that range from your everyday neutrals to your brights and even your shimmer shades. On the whole they are extremely pigmented, the only snag is that when you apply the shimmers with a brush they don't pack as much of a punch as they would if you use your finger to apply them with, but isn't that the same with most shimmery and sparkly eyeshadows? I think so! There are 10 shimmer shades and the rest are either completely matte or have slightly more of a satin matte finish to them. I think that this palette has a great balance of mattes and shimmers so that you can create a variety of looks. Another great thing about this palette is that the shadows last all day and don't crease on my eye lids, which is great news. I also feel that this palette will suit any skin tone as there are colours to suit anyone's complexion and eye colour, so well done Soph on doing that. I'll leave the swatches of the shadows below. The day I swatched these the natural daylight wasn't the best so just bear that in mind!
I hope you can tell from the swatches that these shadows are so pigmented that there is no dud colour in this palette. I highly recommend this palette, oh also did I forget to mention that it's only £10. Yes you read that right, this palette only costs £10. £10!!! It's available to buy on the Superdrug website and the Tam Beauty website who produce Revolution products. Honestly please do go and purchase this palette, you won't regret it and as it's so affordable you'd be a fool not to.
Thank you so much for reading my post
All the best
