I've started a novel serial on called 'Learning To Love Colour' together with I'm hoping to pause out of my 'boring brand up' vanquish together with experiment a footling to a greater extent than alongside brand upward looks together with hold upward a footling to a greater extent than daring. I lately picked upward the Urban Decay Electric Palette, and had fun experimenting alongside it. The Electric Palette is a affair of beauty, but if you're non certain if coloring is correct for you, together with thence why non examine out a dupe for a fraction of the price?
For today's Save or Splurge post, I'm seeing how the MUA Poptastic Palette measures upward inwards comparison.

Save
Product: MUA Poptastic Palette
Price: £4.00
Shadows: 12
Now the MUA Poptastic Palette isn't a similar for similar dupe of the Electric Palette every bit around shades differ, but it does offering a option that are fairly close.
As you lot tin see, the shades aren't perfect carbon copies but they practise come upward fairly close... although alongside a downside. The MUA palette shades experience a lot unlike - the shades are much chalkier, convey a coarser marking of glitter throughout together with practise ambit a fair total of autumn out. I every bit good establish that they applied unevenly where every bit the Electric Palette shades apply thence much to a greater extent than smoothly alongside barely whatever autumn out.
One of the big differences I noticed betwixt the 2 products is inwards the application together with blending. The shades inwards the Electric Palette are to a greater extent than pigmented together with blend out alongside minimal examine to practise smoothen transitions, where every bit alongside the Poptastic palette, you lot volition convey to operate that footling chip harder to move the colours to blend.
There's quite a big deviation inwards toll betwixt the 2 palettes, alongside the Electric Palette coming inwards at virtually 10x the price... which leaves me alongside the interrogation - Is it 10x better?
Packaging - Yes. The Electric palette has the most satisfying magnetic 'click' when it closes, it feels a lot sturdier together with good made. The Poptastic palette feels inexpensive together with flimsy inwards comparison.
Colour - I'm non certain if I tin nation the colours are 10x better, but they are richer.
Application - As a coloring newbie, I did discovery the Electric Palette much easier to apply. There was less autumn out, together with they blended to a greater extent than easily. However, does that justify a 10x toll increase? I'd nation that it depends on what hold off you're creating. If you're afterward a actually smoothen brilliant optic look, you'd discovery it a lot harder to move the same hold off using the Poptastic palette. If all you're afterward is a unproblematic popular of colour, together with thence I'd salve together with pick upward the dupe.
Both of these Palettes convey positive together with negatives, together with are both welcome additions to my collection. However, if you're actually looking to add together coloring to your life together with I had to recommend only i palette, inwards this representative I'd nation to splurge and pick upward the Electric Palette every bit it's worth every penny.
I'd dearest to listen your thoughts on these palettes! Have you lot tried either? allow me know inwards the comments.
