MUA meets Fashionista!


Hello Beautiful!

If you've read any of my previous posts, you'll know I am a big fan of the brand MUA. They're affordable products always seize to amaze me!

Since their launch, the brand has grown - creating more quality products at unbelievable prices (which is enough to make any blogger's heart melt!). It seems like the brand just gets better with age!

Last week, I discovered that the brand had teamed up with make up brand Fashionista to create a new range of products.

I was desperate to try them, and decided to treat myself to a palette, items to fill the palette and an eyebrow kit as I have unfortunately lost my last MUA eyebrow palette.

My Palette!
The my palette consists of two blushers, a bronzer and 3 eye shadows. All of the items are very pigmented and come in a very decent size! With the palette costing me £10, I think it is a very decent deal and would recommend anyone who likes to top up their eye shadows or make up throughout the day. I don't wear eye shadows that much in the day, which explains my dark, bold colour choices and I know that I will wear them a lot on nights out!

I really like this kit; and think in ways is very similar to the MUA kit. However, today I have noticed that the Fashionista palette lasts a lot longer than the Pro-brow and, it may be a more personal choice, looks more natural.  At the moment, the kit is £3.50 instead of £7 which is a very good deal!

So far, I'm really liking the quality of these items and will keep you up to date with any more feedback I have on the items.

What are your thoughts on MUA?

Quick review - MUA power pout

Hello my beauties!

I'm going to do a quick review on the new lip tint/balm pen by the amazing and affordable brand MUA.

The new power pout lip tints are very similar to the Revlon Just Bitten and the Jelly Pong Pong pens , but half of the price.



 
The pens
 
I love these pens, and to top it off - some of them are named after Beyonce singles! Which I find pretty cute.
 
They smell alot like mints, which I weidly like about these products because it 'could' make your lips smell minty fresh.
 
However, the stain is not long lasting - which unfortunatly is the downside to these pens. But when there this cheap, you can't complain!
 
The colour are very weareble, with nudes, oranges and pinks; which are luckily colours that suit my skin tone.
 
The pens can be purchased online or directly at your local Superdrug.
 
What are your favourite lip pens?

My favourite lipstick brand


Hello my lovelies,

I love lipstick. The way you can use it to complete an outfit or how it can make everyone stare at your lips - rather than your hips (;

My style is pretty simplistic - and I feel that a lipstick can make an boring, casual outfit feel more sophisticated and glamourous.

I've tried nearly every drugstore lipstick brand going - maybelline, 17, revlon etc.... And I always find myself coming back to one brand ... And that's Rimmel.

But not just any Rimmel lipstick, the Kate collection.




My main reason for liking this brand is not because I am a huge fan of Kate (although I do really like her).

I love the colours of the lipsticks;the 2 red shades she does - in her first and second range - really suit my skin tone, and give a quite matt finish.

The packaging is quite simplistic - in a black case for the first season of lipsticks and a red for the second. Both cases have the 'Kate' signature on the side - tacky but I think it adds a celebrity touch. 

The colours themselves vary from nudes such as 03 or 101 & brights such as shade 20 and 107. 

I have brought most of the bright shades, and I love them! They are so easy to work with, and have a very good lasting time of them. 

They are very affordable aswell, all under £10 which is very gentle on the pocket!

What's your favourite lipstick?
