MUA Bare (Shade 14) lipstick review + OOTD


So MUA is one of my personal favourites for cheap make-up that has quality!
When I saw they had a new shade along with giving their lipsticks names and not just numbers (which is great) I couldn't resist, especially with it being called Bare, and I love love love nude shades recently.

The coverage of this lipstick isn't the best after one coat, but after a couple of coats it really shows the amazing shade it can reach and would be a perfect shade for most skin tones.



The smell of the product isn't unpleasant but it doesn't really smell of anything familiar either.
Overall I am rather taken with this product, I tend to wear it often within the daytime and can see myself having to purchase another in a few months time considering it's only £1 I feel I can use it as often as I wish !

The lasting power of this lipstick is also good, as a slightly matte finishing product it gives around 3 hours coverage before needing to be reapplied !!
Personally, I would recommend everyone to get this beauty :)
What do you think?


In terms of my outfit today, it was nothing special, I decided to be a tad gothic and went for all black!!
Sorry for the blurriness, my camera seems to not have a stability mode, or maybe I just can't find it? ahhaha
Hope you like my comedy moustache ring !!

Fairest of them all

Today was a great day as I went into town with my beautiful mummy and I took her to buy her first pair of leggings (something I could not live without) and I would like to say she rather likes them now too !
Didn't buy anything whilst out shopping though I did spy a lipstick I may treat myself too tomorrow.

Sleek Pout Polish in Peach Perfection



Sleek is a recent new-found love of mine, especially the brow kit which I now swear by for my everyday as well as evening make up, it is just flawless!!
I recently purchased the pout polish as I had heard many things about it from youtube gurus and other blogs I read so thought I would go ahead and buy one myself.

The colour I went for is Peach Perfection 964 and the first thing that I love about this is the size, the wideness ensures that you can proper get your finger into the pot unlike little pots of lip balm such as Carmex or the Body Shop.



As with any lip balm type product, this has a gorgeous vanilla scent which makes me just want to eat it up it smells so good !
The packaging is also well-built as the lid fastens on beautifully with no chance of it coming undone in your make-up bag, which I loooove !

The consistency of the product is smooth and it glides onto the lips easily giving a sheer tint of colour, which is great for when you don't want your lips to look too overdone!
This product is great for conditioning the lips as well as making them look gorgeous!
At £4.95 I would highly recommend this product as it will last a long time due to the little amount you need to get coverage, if you're looking for a more pigmented product however this is not for you.
And I tend to get about 1-2 hours wear out of this before I need to reapply, especially in this cold weather when my lips are a little dryer than usual.

Red bottoms and lipsticks (as per)

Hey everyone, so just a couple of updates really with a couple of OOTD's and some new make-up!!

Today, i've been freezing and so I chose to wear my favouritist cardigan.
Also, as you will notice in my outfits I am loving coloured bottoms atm, just jazzes outfits up!
Please excuse my leopard print socks in this outfit, I was actually wearing my docs, but had just taken them off !

  • Necklace, Marc Jacobs

Took a trip to superdrug and as a personal fan of cheap make-up I was very excited to see the new MUA lipsticks, and decided to treat myself to a couple.
The colours which I have here are Nectar - Shade 16 and Bare - Shade 14.
MUA lipsticks smell gorgeous and although these two are a bit more glossy than I would prefer they still stay on for quite a while considering they are only £1!!



Me wearing Nectar above (I am wearing it over Barry M 101 - Marshmallow which is why it doesn't look too orange). Love it loads.
Also got a couple of new Rimmel lipsticks as I couldn't resist, these are lasting fix and as seen are gorgeous natural colours which would go with any outfit or make-up look.



Another outfit from the other day !!

Lana Del Rey make up


So recently, well since I've actually been able to put eye make up on again (I had conjunctivitis), I've become obsessed literally with watching make up tutorials.
So last night I was up till about 2 watching another of my favourite make up tutorial vloggers, I have many, Pixi2woo, whose channel can be found here [pixi2woo]

There are so many looks I want to try from her collection, so today I decided to give one a go myself, and chose the Lana Del Rey inspired look.




As I am not made of money (oh how I wish I was) I had to use cheaper products than the mac make up she is fortunate enough to have !!
These are the products I used:

  • Rimmel lasting finish foundation in shade 200 Soft Beige
  • Sleek brow kit in Light #817
  • MUA eyeshadow in Shade 1 - Pearl
  • Urban Decay eyeshadow in Stray Dog
  • Rimmel eyeshadow in a dark brown, sorry it's from a palette so i'm unsure of the colour
  • A lilac eyeshadow from the Marks & Spencers perfection palette
  • Urban Decay eyeshadow in Oil Slick
  • Rimmel Scandeleyes mascara in Black
  • MUA eyeliner in Snow White
  • Maybelline gel eyeliner in Black
  • Bourjous mineral radiance powder in 02 Vanille
  • A similar shade of light brown blush Tanya uses in the video from the M&S palette
  • Rimmel match perfection concealer in 010 Ivory
  • Rimmel lasting finish lipstick in 250 Birthday Suit
This is look I ended up with is in the pictures below, I personally think they're very similar, however the eyeshadows I used are not as matte as the ones Tanya uses in her video but I love a bit of shimmer !!



Yes my t-shirt does say 'Mrs Prince Harry' I love the Royals, ahhaha !!
Anyway, have a lovely day, it's snowing finely in Liverpool hope it's not snowing where you are (well unless you like snow, I hate the stuff).

Been ultra busy, so here's some film reviews/Pixiwoo

Hey guys, sorry I have been ultra busy with uni and assignments and I've finally started back at the gym again !!
I haven't got any pictures to update any outfits or make-up I have bought so I thought instead I'd give a couple of reviews of films I've recently seen, not that this will interest any of you, but it's better than me being silent right?

A Dangerous Method I personally only watched this film because Keira Knightley is in it, and I love her to pieces however the fact it was about Sigmund Freud, someone I study at university also made it something of interest to me. Now, I did like the film, however I felt for someone like me (who is quite submissive when it comes to watching films) it needed attention paid to it to fully understand the story. It was a good film though and if you are interested in real life events/psychology or kinda the curiosity of things I'd defo give it a watch !

The Descendents This film is a tear-jerker, my friend has seen it too and she was crying all the way through. George Clooney is really great as the husband in the film, however I do feel the storyline is a bit unfixed throughout the film, cause in all honesty not much happens over the 2 hours. However, if you love a sad film and fancy a bit of a cry I would definitely recommend. I did enjoy the film but it's not something I think I'll ever watch again.

I've also recently become obsessed with watching make-up videos and have fallen increasingly in love with pixiwoo, they are the most fun and possibly one of the best tutorial guides for make-up I have ever come across.
I particulary adore this Mary-Kate and Ashley inspired look, as I love a brown smoky eye !!



Hope to post some pictures soon, peace out xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
