Makeup Obsession Launch

Makeup Obsession Launch

Hey everyone!

So last night I had the pleasure of attending the launch party of new makeup brand Makeup Obsession. It is part of the same company that made Makeup Revolution, which I am already a HUGE fan of. If the name doesn't ring a bell, you may remember seeing it in Superdrug, with it's ridiculously reasonably priced eyeshadow palettes. One of the palettes I highly recommend is the flawless matte palette. I'm going through a phase of loving matte eyeshadows, I'm not feeling any kind of shimmer, so this is perfect. It has 32 super smooth buttery matte shades in it, they range from banana coloured bases through to warm terracottas, an array of trendy taupes, dusty purples and even a black, and for £8, it is honestly unbelievable. They also have a range of coppery rose-gold coloured eyeshadow brushes, I have a few, they are beautiful and just so cheap.

But anyway, back to the brand Makeup Obsession which has been available in boots stores for about a month now, like Revolution its super affordable but has a bit of a different notion to its sister brand. The launch was held in a gallery in Soho, I had such a great time, mini bottles of champagne with straws, glittery cupcakes, free manicures and best of all PICK & MIX PALETTES. 

This is the main concept of the brand, you pick an empty palette which come in an array of colours, and then you customise it with your own picks from an array of eyeshadows, blushers, cream & powder contour and highlight, which range from £2-£3 per pan, BARGAIN! I think this idea is pretty unique in terms of a drug store brand. (I went into MAC last week and they are also promoting this idea in store with customise- yourself palettes, but their pans are £10 a pop). Back to Obsession, the range of colours are gorge and bang on trend, we arrived a bit late and all of the rusty coppery orange colours had sold out but I still managed to throw together a beautiful individual tailored-to-me palette, which I will swatch this week. If they are anything like Revolution shadows I'm sure they'll be great.

So to sum up my evening; I had a few champagnes, hung out with my long lost bunny Cat, we got our nails painted and I was absolute makeup heaven. I love the create your own palette concept, I think its providing a unique pro-makeup brand experience but at a drug store price. The colours are beautiful, and have cutesy star imprints in the eyeshadow pans (which are £2 each FYI). I'm yet to try them (I will be sad to lose the star shape) :'( but I will do a swatch and makeup look using the products this week!
