Make Up Academy Poptastic palette review

.Urban Decay have recently released their Electric palette, which is full of bright, summery colours. This made me want to find a cheaper alternative, so I came across the Poptastic palette by MUA. I was pleasantly surprised at the pigmentation of these colours, as they are actually have better pigment than the bright coloured sleek palette. Poptastic is a super cheap alternative to the Urban Decay Electric palette, retailing at only £4.

Sorry about the size of the images, blogger is being weird and wont let me adjust the sizes.
 

 

The packaging has the simple MUA palette style. Not very luxurious, just a clear and black Plastic. It's pretty convenient for travel as it fits nicely in my make up bag (not that this is going to be a regular of mine, the colours scare me!).

The colours, as I said are pretty pigmented, as are most of the MUA palettes. The  However the blueish purple does not swatch very well :/ (second purple in the top row of swatches). The annoying thing is, the colours don't have names, so it's hard to explain what you're using. The palette contains 12 colours, with only one matte shade which is the blue on the top row, next to the purple. I was shocked at how pigmented it actually was because matte shades are usually useless.

You can see in the images above how well the colours swatch. My favourite colour is the first blue in the second row. It's super shimmery and so pigmented (my favourite colour is this blue/green in general).
