Recently M.U.A released a pro range consisting of primers, palettes and so much more and the best bit is that its all £4 and under! However it has been pretty hard to obtain, in Glasgow no Superdrug seems to stock it regardless of what the face book page may state and certain items have sold out online twice! I was lucky enough to get the Heaven and Earth palette by ordering online via Superdrug.
The Heaven and Earth Palette is a neutral based palette containing twelve natural shades. All of the shades are frosty, metallic or glitter based there is no matte shades present in this palette but don't let that put you off.
I honestly can't believe how pigmented and easy to blend each of these shades are!I prejudged the palette and thought for £4 I'd be lucky to like one or two of the shades but no way Jose, I love each one of these shades.Okay its not the prettiest palette packaging wise but if you overlook that you have a little gem of a product on your hands! I can see this replacing my naked palette and becoming the product I use on a daily basis, it really is that good and I seldom gush about a drugstore product as you normally get what you pay for.
Speaking of the Naked Palette it is inevitable that everyone and their mother will say is it similar or is it a dupe?
Well yes and no. Yes some of the shades are from the same colour family and it is the same sort of idea but the naked palette does cover a wider range of neutrals. However pigmentation wise I'd have to hand it to the heaven and earth palette as I do find a few of the naked palette shades chalky.
Overall its not a dupe but it is a good alternative for those who didn't fancy spending big bucks on the naked palette or simply couldn't source it.
While playing around with the palette I also noticed that a few of the shades are decent dupes for MAC shades.
Okay some aren't exact doppelgangers as you can see but for £4 who's complaining?
This palette comes with the Adrienne Stamp of approval, if you come across it snap it up promptly as it could well be the best £4 you have spent on cosmetics in a long time!
Great post :D it looks great x
ReplyDeleteooh i really want this now, all the shades look so nice! xx
ReplyDeleteI've still not tried MUA I keep meaning to but I always forget about it! I definately need to after seeing this, not that I need any more natural/gold/brown toned eye shadows! x
ReplyDeleteWow, now that's interesting! what a bargain!
ReplyDeleteIt'd be perfect if it had some matte shades in it! Still great though, thanks for the post! :D

ReplyDeleteWow this is impressive, I need this palette!

ReplyDeleteSuperdrug on Argyll St will have the new MUA stuff in from the beginning of July, with their next promotion turnover. I have been in about 6 times checking and was told this today by the sale girl.
ReplyDeletethat is a lot of shimmers... nice though :)

ReplyDeleteOMG that palette is GORGEOUS! :) I agree, a lot of the colors look very similar to the Naked palette. Great find!
ReplyDeleteaaargggh, I want this palette so much but I'm now doing P10P, perhaps once I finish my first item I could perhaps treat myself to this seeing as it is only £4... x
ReplyDeletegreat post, I have ordered mine, I even more can't wait to get it now. The colours are amazing. They are so similar too to the naked palette, you definately cant complain at £4 xxx

Great post/review/swatches/everything hon. Always love seeing items with the Stamp of approval haha. Looks like Nylon and All That Glitters got duped for sure!
ReplyDeletethat no way José got me laughing for the rest of the post! hahaha, love it!
ReplyDeleteThe palette looks awesome. I agree that it's not a truly Naked Palette dupe but for that prize it's a good palette to use on an everyday basis and leave your naked for special events :)
xx
Just tried to buy it on the superdrug website but sold out :(
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting,will be keeping an eye out for this now :)
@arianne- aww thank you :) xx
ReplyDelete@jc - haha my stamp of approval :P nylon has to be the closest dupe in there which im happy with as its my to go to highlight shade :) xx
@andrea- hahaha glad you liked it :) thats what i think too :) means my naked palette wont run out too quickly xx
@paula- aww no :( they will be back in stock though so keep checking back :) xx
You know, I saw this in the shop today and it was my least favorite, I was gonna just leave it on payday and get the other two but I think I'll have to get it now I've seen the swatches very nice.
ReplyDeleteI suppose its the same way I feel about the naken palette though, I'm more a brights gal the neutrals dont really do it for me lol.
x
I NEED this going to check my superdrug again tomorrow xx
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried anything from this brand though I have seen it quite often in Superdrug.
ReplyDeleteMay be this will be my first product from MUA. For 4 quid...... Some drugstore brand eyeshadow single already cost between 3-4-5 quid, and this is 12 shades which are all equally good from drugstore for 4quid. I feel like running to Superdrug now!! Haha!
OMG I need this set... the colours are my eyeshadow heaven!!

OMG It looks stunning! It's a shame I can't get my hands on it! ARGHH!
ReplyDeletewow wonderful review i must get this!!! :DDDD xxx
ReplyDelete@lori- I honestly think its better than the naked palette :) yeah you love your brights! I feel like a clown in brights but you do them well :) x
ReplyDelete@victoria-gabrielle- good luck i hope it doesnt turn into one of those hard to get products :) x
@vonvon- agreed it really is a bargain :) haha run run runnnn lady :) x
@lowri- its lovely isnt it :) x
@GABY- aww that does suck :( x
@cosmetic junkie- lmk if you do :) x
OH wow!!!! These are beauuuuuuutiful! MUA runs a bit expensive for my tastes, and a lot of these colors remind me of the Nude on Nude palette (which will be reviewed sooooon I promise - I just posted the Tarte so i'm free to write this one up!). I agree that the consistency and the pigmentation of the MUA looks better. A lot of these neutral shades tend to disappear on my tan skin, so that's important to me. Thanks for this post!
ReplyDeleteSo...so...PRETTY! I want this now!

I would be honored to have you among my followers!
I'm very impressed with the pigmentation but think I'll be resisting as I've already got the Naked palette and my MAC neutrals - plus I can't deal with all shimmery shadows!x
ReplyDelete@amyboo- it really is :) x
ReplyDelete@Bereniice - thanks for the following im following back and your welcome :) x
@starightupglam- I think mua is a uk brand only :( sucks big time! x
@latbeautyaddict- if you check out mua's facebook page there is a link telling you what superdrugs stock them, might save you some time :) x
@princesselfy- ah if you have lots of neutrals already i see why you'd pass up :) I personally like it for travel, i'd be too scared of loosing my naked or mac palettes on holiday haha xx
I TOTALLY need this in my life, but am yet to see it in store. I love love love love love it! Thanks so much for taking the time to find dupes :) x
ReplyDelete@alice - I agree haha! MUA have a list of superdrugs which they stock pro on their facebook page. I hope you find it soon :) x
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing. Hopefully I can get my hands on one too! I will definitely be frequenting the facebook page. Haha.

oh my god you;re from glasgow too?! :D
ReplyDeletewas creeping through your blog as I googled your review on the L'Oreal caresse lipstick, and came was rather glad I found your review because I've been debating whether to get the MUA palette since I cant afford the Naked palette, but wanted swatches of MUA.
anyways, I've only managed to find it in the Sauchiehall St Superdrug, so it does seem pretty tough to source...
