I love a good eye shadow palette. They're so easy to store. It means my make-up area is kept a whole lot tidier than if I had loads of individual shades all over the place - God I can't imagine how messy it would be, it's a mess as it is!
Organisation aside, a palette means I have a lot more shades to choose from, leaving me spoilt for choice and it often means I can try out a shade I wouldn't usually think about.
I was kindly sent the Make Up Revolution Iconic Pro 2 Palette and I couldn't help but 'oooh' and 'ahh' when I saw the gold box it comes in. I'm such a magpie, anything slightly sparkly and you've got my interest!

It has really similar shades to the Lorac Pro 2 palette but is a lot more affordable and accessible so it's great if you're always chopping and changing between palettes and don't want to
The palette consists of 8 matte and 8 shimmer shades which all have an Autumnal feel about them. I love all of the neutral shades, I always get a lot of wear out of neutrals as they are so versatile.
From Top to Bottom
(but left to right in the palette, I like to keep those cogs working!)
Only, Silk, Awaken, New Day, Steal-er, Echo, Ambition, Faith.
On to the top row of matte shades. Usually I'm a little worried about matte eyeshadows as they can be a little chalky and need a lot of work, and it's usually the shimmer shades I stick to. But I was pleasantly surprised with the pigmentation of these. The top left shade 'Paper' looks really pale on my swatches but that's due to it being an almost identical shade to my arm! However, swiped across my eyelid it's really pigmented and shows the shade really well without the need to build it up. They really take no effort at all to apply which is great it saves me a lot of time in the morning!
Paper, Chase, Smooth, New-Tral, One Way, New Rules, Grey Day, Sudden.
The brighter plum ('One Way') and teal ('New Rules') are great for adding a little pop of colour and trying something a little different. Adding a little teal to a gold eye looks lovely and plum looks gorgeous on brown eyes.
I can see this being my go-to palette and I'm looking forward to trying out a few looks with it.

Lovely post hun! Love the big mirror in the Iconic palette, I never seem to gravitate towards neutral palettes and I really should because they are perfect even just as crease colours or transition colours. They swatch really nicely! hmm MORE to add to the buying list :P
