Hello beauties, I hope you are all having a bright sunny day. Today I thought I'd post my review of another MUA palette - The Poptastic palette. If you missed my first one, I reviewed the MUA Smokin Palette. I loved it so much for an everyday palette it actually went into my monthly favourites. After my friend Laura {she blogs over at Tease Flutter Pout} saw how much I loved the Smokin palette, she was kind enough to send me another MUA palette in my next package.
The MUA Poptastic Pallete contains 12 different colours and is quite compact which means taking it on a trip is easy. The colours are all bright and beautiful, so you can create so many different looks with this palette. Now even though I really like the colours, I find that the eyeshadows are not very pigmented. Usually it helps when you apply eyeshadow primer prior to the application of eyeshadow. But with this palette, I wouldn't say it made a huge difference.
After applying the eyeshadow and blending it properly, the colour sort of fades off a bit. I'd personally use this palette for daytime looks as it doesn't give a very dramatic look. The amount of fall out is very acceptable. I applied it after doing my foundation and had no problem brushing the little I had off my cheeks.
So all in all, even though I don't love the Poptastic palette as much as the Smokin palette, I still quite like it. And for the price, I think it is a good palette for daytime use if you like colourful looks.
Overall Summary
Price - £4
Likes - Great colours for a colourful daytime look.
Dislikes - Not very pigmented.
Verdict - Undecided about repurchasing, I'd rather try their other palettes.
Available - MUA store.
Do you have this palette? What do you think about it and which is your favourite MUA palette?
I wish they were matte! Would be so much better!

I'd love it if they were matte. Would make it a great everyday colourful palette which you can even use to work. x
DeleteFor the price the colours are gorgeous, it's a shame they aren't more pigmented but I still love it xx
ReplyDeleteYea, I feel the same way. x
DeleteI have a few of the MUA palettes (Heaven and Earth is my favourite!) I must admit though, the more I use Poptastic and Pretty Pastels, the more I don't like them which is strange because I really like their other palettes. I guess it is just down to the pigmentation. Raspberrykiss xo
ReplyDeleteProbably the case lovely. Thanks for the tip, going to check out Heaven and Earth, and probably add it to my next order x
DeleteI've never actually tried a MUA palette, these colours look great - it's a shame about the pigmentation but they still look great!

Oh you definitely should. I have 2 now and cannot wait to try some more to know which are my faves. Atm, I like the neutral "Smokin Palette" more than this colourful one. x
DeleteHi found your blog via the #Bbloggers. link up. Love the pretty colours in this palette it's such a shame they are not very pigmented. A brand should reproduce the colours in a palette but with better pigmentation. Thanks for the review xxx
ReplyDeleteGlad you stopped by hun. I know right, such a shame. I think Makeup Revolution have a bright palette which people say is pigmented. Haven't tried it myself, but will do soon. x
DeleteIt looks like a sweet palette but I would have no idea how to even use colours as bright as those. Really good price, though!
ReplyDeleteI usually mix it with a matte shade at the inner eye corners and use the yellow and a darker colour for the centre and crease. It may be out of your comfort zone, but you'll never know if you like it if you don't try x
