Recently, I was fortunate to be sent Revolutions new 'Mermaids Forever' palette, a new addition to the brands growing collection of well known palettes, for the summer. First of all for these 32 colours look gorgeous next to each other and for only £8, it's a must to try. The pigmentation of the shades is pretty good for such a budget brand - especially the darker ones (so great for liner) but I love the lighter ones for a nice sheer splash of colour on the lids.
I also love the names of each colour, they aren't just numbers like how some cheaper brands prefer to do it. My favourites include 'enchant' (a sheer pink shimmer) 'song' (a gorgeous purple shade for an easy all over the lid look) 'kingdom' (a subtle dark crease colour) and 'bay' (a common peach highlight shade). My only concern with the colours is that there are no matte shades. The palette includes shimmers, glitters, and even metallics but no solid colours. I guess the colours reflect the 'mermaid' palette but personally 2 or 3 mattes would be nice!
Also, the longevity isn't great. Half way through the day I saw the colours fading and creasing - even with a primer however I think the trick is to apply the colour lightly on rather than packing the eyeshadow onto the lid like you may usually do.
All in all, for the price of this palette I think it is totally worth it and as a drugstore product I would give this a 7/10!
I made a video showing you 3 easy looks you could do for summer with this palette on my YouTube channel - a natural look, a night look and an out-going colourful look. If your interested you can check it out here: https://youtu.be/tSQUZvR97yo
