There are many different versions of The Grinch at this point. Beyond the actual book, there is the classic animated version from 1966, the live action version from 2000, and the more modern animated version that was released in 2018 (check out my initial review of that version here). All of them are memorable and have wonderful elements. My favourite will always be the classic animated version, but there is room in my heart for them all. Truth be told, I love The Grinch and have a little Whoville Village and a Grinch topper on my Christmas tree. It just wouldn't be the holiday season without that beloved green character. When I came across a fuzzy green eyeshadow palette from Revolution, it was added to my cart before I even bothered to look at the price. (For the record, it was about $15 CDN.) I mean, it was a fuzzy green Grinch themed eyeshadow palette. A need!
Talk about a cute and festive eyeshadow palette. This
Mean One Eyeshadow Palette from the Revolution x The Grinch collection knows how to stand out. The front of the palette is green and fuzzy (similar to my live action How The Grinch Stole Christmas DVD case) and has Revolution x The Grinch stitched on in red. It might be slightly impractical, as it is bound to become less than pristine over time, but it sure is adorable. I am doing my best not to spill any foundation or other products on it so it can look fuzzy and fun for as long as possible. On the inside, the palette is just as themed. There is a removable sheet that says: "Restring Grinch Face," there are classic Grinch inspired illustrations around the mirror, and there are even little characters pressed into some of the shadows. All of the eyeshadow names are themed as well. It is clear that a lot of thought was put into the packaging and design. The fuzzy green, the drawings, and the eyeshadows names make this memorable.
As for the colour story? This screams Christmas. Normally during the holiday season, reds, greens, and purples are popular. (Along with golds and other warm metallic shades.) The Mean One Eyeshadow Palette delivers on the holiday colours with several shades of green, red, and purple to enjoy. This is the ultimate eyeshadow palette for a Christmas lover who wants to embrace colourful makeup looks. Though browns, golds, and other neutrals will always have a special place in my heart...it is hard to resist all of this festive goodness. I love the colours that were included in the palette and the fact that there are different finishes. There are mattes, shimmers, and even chunkier glitter shades. This compact release has variety!
Since this is a Grinch inspired eyeshadow palette, the look that I created made good use of the greens. The lightest matte green, Mr. Grinch, was applied to the inner portion of the lid and then the matte green, Loathe Entirely, was applied to the remainder. The dark shimmery green, The...The...The..., was added through the crease for some contrast. 5:30 Jazzercise (a chunky and creamy kind of green glitter) was added for a dramatic and glittery makeup look. A bit of the golden-green shimmer, I'm Feeling!, was added to the inner corner for a little extra shimmer. I love that the different finishes all perform well and work together to create fun and festive makeup looks. Though the green shadows are the standouts, the rich reds also pair well with the shimmers, and the purples are perfection. There is so much to love about this eyeshadow palette.
The Mean One Eyeshadow Palette from the Revolution x The Grinch collection has been making this season bright. I love the theme, design, and colour story. I also love the finishes and overall quality. This palette meets my holiday makeup needs.
