Makeup Revolution releases uniquely fun Halloween products every year, and this year's pieces aren't shy from being the best ones yet. In today's review, I write about the gore-geous Haunted House palette and show swatches as well. Read more to get spooked, witches!

The must-have of the Revolution Halloween 2019 collection is definitely the Haunted House palette. Just look at it, it's everyting my black little heart ever wished for, without spending heaps of money. I about went into cardiac arrest when I randomly stumbled upon it on the website. They haven't officially announced it then, so it hit me like werewolf kicks. (Let me tell you, it's hard to find Halloween-related rhymes for bricks, so don't be too mad about it.)
The packaging is made out of tin, and I am praying that it won't get rustly like my Urband Decay 2 did. Everything rusts in my house. The outer picture is absolutely stunning and it stole my heart the second I laid eyes upon it.

The back of the Haunted House palette states all the info you need. The reddish colours are marked as pressed pigments not intended for the eye area, but if you've been in the beauty community for any length of time, you are familiar with this. It's a safety notice, since reddish eyeshadows can stain the eye area, therefore they legally can't be marketed as eyeshadows. Basically, they might stain, but don't be too afraid of them, unless you know that your eyes can't take certain pigments.
You get 18 x 1.1 grams of products for 10 GBP. It is cruelty-free and vegan. Lift the sticker on the back for even more info.

Haunted House is a warm eyeshadow palette that focuses on orange, red, wine and warm browns, sprinkled with a couple of duochromes and a bright pink.
Warm palettes are everywhere these days, and I normally don't get excited about them anymore, but the beautiful packaging on this one grabbed my attention. I wish they included murky greens and dark blues as well, but overall it is a nice colour scheme that matches the season and the theme of the palette.
The shimmers feel almost like cream eyeshadows, so you will have to work your brush in them a lot to pick them up. Overly creamy powder shadows work best with fingers or sponge tip applicators. You can wet them too, but there is a chance you will create hard pan that way.
Both the shimmers and mattes are beautifully pigmented, you just have to know which applictaion is the best for the formula. The mattes blend out easily and don't leave a lot of fallout. They pack a punch.
It is important to mention that eyeshadows perform best when applied to a sticky primer or an eyeshadow base that you do not set. Not just these eyeshadows, but any and every brand of powder eyeshadow. Setting the primer defeats the purpose and will decrease the pigmentation by eons. You only need to set it if you are using concealer as eye primer which tends to crease. It's interesting how suddenly everyone forgot how to blend on a sticky primer, it is not rocket science. Don't be afraid of it.

Attic is a pink-gold duochrome, much like in the Sleek Oh So Special or the Emily Edit palettes. Phobia is also leaning on being a purple-pink duochrome, it has a strong flash to it.
There is a delicious burnt orange matte in it as well that is worth mentioning, it's called Monster.

I purchased the palette with my birthday money, so you could say it was a personal gift from family.
