MUA Bronzer Shade 2

I have yet another MUA product for you lovelies today, it is the MUA Bronzer Shade 2 - so not the lightest bronzer and it is £1.

The packaging itself is not that bad...however it does look a bit cheap and tacky. It does not break easily which is great if i am keeping it in my bag, so i have not worries of it bronzing the things in my bag.

 It is quite a dark bronzer for my skin tone but a light swish over the cheeks works well for me. It makes me look less like a sheet of paper and gives me a nice glow. Although i wouldn't recommend this for contouring as it is quite a muddy colour and won't make you look right.

As you can see from the swatch below there is a lot of pigmentation in this. Perfect if your just getting into Make Up or on a tight budget.

 Overall if push came to shove, i would choose my Benefit Hoola Bronzer but this is a very good bronzer in comparison.

Revlon Lip Butter- Crème Brulee

So I have bought yet another Lip product *slaps on wrist* but I think I am just too obsessed. A healthy obsession of course..

This is the Revlon Lip Butter in Crème Brulee, a beautiful nude shade. They are £7.99 from Boots.

I am not a huge fan of the packaging, however it is sturdy and won't break.

 This is a shimmery transparent nude, which leaves a little sparkle on your lips. You need swish it over your lips a couple of times to get a lot of pigmentation, although i think it does look better more transparent than opaque.

 It feels buttery and smooth on the lips like it claims. I have definitely fallen in love with the lip butters.

The swatch above has been applied more than the swatch below.

 Overall i love this product! Would recommend it to anyone!

Rimmel Special eyes eyeliner - Black Magic

I think i will be forever in-love with my Soap&Glory SuperCat liquid eye-liner, but i cannot really use it on my water line or create that smudgy look which all of us long to perfect. So i opted for this Rimmel Special eyes eye-liner for £2.99 in Boots. So this wont make a big hole in your wallet.

The packaging is not fantastic but seems pretty durable, does it's job.

 I used this on my lid for testing purposes, i have so say it applied well and felt great to begin with. However by the end of the night it had smudged where my top lid meets the upper part of my eye (when i open my eyes), i hadn't even noticed until the end of the night!

I also used it on my water line, and that stayed on brilliantly! It was still there in place by the end of the night, and i have quite watery eyes therefore most eye-liners smudge off.

 From the swatch below you can see it is a deep black with a lot of pigmentation!

Overall i really like this product for my waterline only definitely not my lid.

Have you tried this product?

MUA Lipstick shade 13

November is here everyone! Now is the time i really start celebrating Christmas- Christmas songs, buying presents, decorations and all that. So i though i would start this month with a colour relevant to Christmas- Red.

This is an MUA lipstick, it is Shade 13 and it is £1.

The packaging is quite sleek, however the lipstick is sometimes hard to get out!

This is such a bold colour, actually the boldest i own. The pigment is amazing in this, especially for £1.

However it does smudge quite considerable, so i wouldn't eat too much while wearing this. As once it has smudged it is an absolute bugger (pardon the french) to get off!.

This is a swatch of the lipstick!

Overall this is an OK product, i probably would not repurchase this colour.

MUA Blush Lolly

Time absolutely flies by, I remember writing a post in the beginning of September.. Gosh!  For me the end of October is where autumn ends and winter really begins, where we all have the craze to wear black and a variety of dark colours. This month has been fabulous for me as I have been on a well needed 1 week holiday to the carrribean (pictures soon) and just been very busy!
For winter I wanted a slightly darker blush shade.. not too bold just something light and pretty for winter. As I am a blogger I had to try out this MUA blush!

It was £1 so I really had nothing to lose if it was awful.
The first time I used it I completely smothered my brush in it, thinking it would not be that pigmented, which resulted in a bright pink streak across my cheeks- not too attractive if you ask me.
It is pigmented and now I just lightly brush my brush over it, making it last even longer.
For the effect I want, which is looking like I don't have any blush on but I do, it is great.
It is a powder so if you do touch your face too much but that is expected.
I would definitely recommend this blush or any in their range - at least to try.

MUA Lipstick Shade 8

Believe it or not i have never owned a MUA lipstick before, so i thought i needed to pick up a couple (more lipsticks coming soon). The first one that caught my eye was this lipstick in Shade 6. You can buy this lipstick at Superdrug for £1.

 First of all the packaging is OK, some times when you twist the top the lipstick won't come out but usually it will. It looks very good for such a cheap product, very sleek.

 The colour is very strong and pigmented, amazingly pigmented for a £1 lipstick. It applies very nicely not drying at all however i smudges quite easily, so wouldn't recommend eating straight after applying this.

The above picture is a swatch, as you can see it is quite a deep shimmery pink which i think is lovely and would suit a wide range of skin tones.

This is what it looks like on my lips.

Have you tried a MUA lipstick before? What did you think?

Revlon ColourStay Foundation

This little product was from a recent Boots browse, you honestly must think i shop no where else... however i have ordered a couple things from Superdrug this week. Anyway i originally ordered the No7 Matte foundation but this came in the post, so i thought i would try it anyway.

I was pleasantly surprised, as with most (basically all) of the products i have reviewed on this blog has been mentioned by some other bloggers, where-as this has been mentioned by everyone. Even my friends, which is some sort of revelation as they never want to talk about make-up.

This is the Revlon Colour- Stay foundation in shade Buff 150, it is usually £12.49 from Boots. There are two versions of this, i have got the oilier skin type version. 

To start with the packaging is OK, however i hate how there is no pump! I end up pouring out too much on to my hand (as i am awful with measurements) and wasting it!

The foundation itself is lovely, it is very smooth and looks flawless on the face. I have found the best way to apply it is with a brush (Real Techniques expert face brush).

Throughout the day it seems to wear very well, however if you do have one or two spots i recommend wearing a concealer as-well because they will start to show nearing the end of the day.

I do wear concealer under my eye as it will not cover those, however my under eye circles are very dark so i would not hold it against this foundation.

The oil control is better than most foundations, though i did need to apply powder to my face.

Overall this is a lovely foundation, it didn't break me out and makes me look lovely in pictures! What more can i ask for? 

This is a definite recommendation from me!
