Review: Chickaboom RR (Rose Russo) Palette

The Chickaboom RR palette is comprised of 15 mineral eye shadows in which are very soft and bendable. This palette has some of the cutest packaging I have ever seen. This palette was designed by a YouTube Guru by the name of Rose Russo. She has been making beauty videos since 2006 and she is a joy to watch. I would have to say Rose is the very first YouTuber I followed, before starting my own channel. She isn't as active anymore for some reason, but her old material is still good. Watch Rose introduce this palette.

This is the only palette I own that is actually embroidered with it's logo. It gives a very sleek touch and looks very professional. 





I find the colors to be very pigmented. Although, there is a slight difference between the way these colors look in the pan opposed to on the skin. In the pan all the shadows look as if they are shimmery. Yet, when swatched you can see that there are three matte colors (Barbarella, Portrait, and Decaf). Here are some swatches, on my arm and in the pan, so you can see the difference.



From left to right the the colors in the palette include....

Vanilla Sugar: Bright shimmery white
Portrait: Dark matte taupe 
Smolder: Shimmery medium brown
Decaf: Dark matte brown
Amazed: Bright Blue with a hint of purple
Silver Belle: Shimmery Silver
Pyramids: Muted baby pink with slight shimmer
Envious: Bright hunter green with gold shimmer
Ken's Girl: Bright hot pink with gold shimmer
Gousto: Deep royal purple with silver shimmer
Carbonize: Shimmery black
24k: Bright shimmery gold
Lucky Penny: Bright metallic copper
Barbarella: Soft matte pink
Bewitched: Dark purple with a hint of navy blue


As for the ingredients, I'm really impressed. These shadows do not include any talc or parabens, so it's perfect for those with sensitive skin.


Where to buy?

I purchased mine on the Chickaboom website. This palette was originally $49.99 plus shipping. Which is going to be expensive if you are in the US. Chickaboom as put this palette on sale for half off. Now it's $24.98, which is an amazing deal if you ask me. Plus, if you follow Chickaboom on titter you can get free shipping!

My Overall Rating

5/5 Perfect!



Check this palette out in action. Here I have created a tutorial with my favorite look using this palette. Let me know what you think!





Thanks so much for reading!
