MUA Nectar Shade 16 - Lipstick Review

So today I put this lipstick on, as I've had it a few weeks now but haven't really tried it out.
Today when I glided it on I realised what a gorgeous colour it is, especially for a £1 lipstick so decided it would be great to review it for all of you.

MUA is a bargain beauty brand from Superdrug and most products are priced at just £1, like this lipstick.
I am a fan of their products, although some are really representative of their £1 price tag, others are good in quality and stand up there with lines such as Barry M and Rimmel.

This lipstick is called Nectar and in bullet form it looks like a dark peach colour, however when swatched or put onto the lips it comes out as a sheer orange which feel moisturising and it easily buildable for a more pigmented finish.

Due to the sheerness it has a glossy finish which means you wouldn't need to put lip gloss or balm over the top of the lipstick, though I would ensure that your lips are well moisturised before application as many MUA lipsticks, whether matt or gloss finish tend to cling to any dry patches on your lips.

Overall I think this is a gorgeous summer colour and would look FAB with a tan, thumbs up to MUA for creating another gorgeous lipstick with a small price tag.

MUA Nail Polish Shade 24 Review

The other day I decided there was a colour I did not own in my ever-growing nail collection, and that colour was a lilac.
Now I have always wanted Berry Ice Cream from Barry M, but I only buy Barry M when it's on 2 for £5 and I don't currently have £5 to spend on a couple of nail varnishs so I decided to have a look into my favourite cheap brand of MUA.

As a brand where most products are £1, if it's rubbish quality, well it was only a pound is my thinking.

So I went to Superdrug and found the colour I was looking for, Shade 24, a lovely lilac looking polish.

The colour is absolutely gorgeous, and so far I have only been wearing it since yesterday but I have been out last night (drinking, oops) and usually any nail polish I wear chips but this one has stayed completely intact so the wear (so far) seems pretty good !

The only complaint I would make it the consistency of the product, when applying I found it hard to get a good amount of polish onto the brush and it went on quite sticky and I didn't find it easy to spread across the nail, however, I may have just got a bad bottle who knows?

Overall, for £1 I think this is a pretty good nail varnish, the first of MUA I have had and I am not disappointed!

7/10!
What do you think? Would you recommend any other shades?

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

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 !

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 !!

Hope to post again to you soon now I have found my rechargeable batteries!!

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).
