MUA eyeshadows and mosaic blush!

MUA are becoming one of my favourite brands! There super cheap but amazing quality, i recently went into my local super drug and just stood swatching all there products wanting to buy all of it! ha ha.

I don't have that many of there products at the minute but here's what i have ...


Oh my god i cant even explain how much i love these! especially shade 9! its the most gorgeous pearly purple/blue! The photos don't even do it justice. Shade 18 is a lovely pastel matte purple, really lovely. Shade 6 is great but i don't wear it that often, i have green eyes and i think its too much on me, Its a super nice colour though a shimmery light green :) Shade 15 is probably one of the best black eye shadows i own!

These eye shadows are priced at £1.00!!! I couldn't believe it when i saw the price, very impressed!

I'm not sure if the next product i have is one of the newer ones, anyways its a trio eyeshadow in Passion


This product is like my best friend at the moment! Its one of my most reached for products just because i LOVE purple eye shadows. I cant believe how pigmented MUA'S eye shadows are, ill be honest i wasn't expecting much but i was pleasantly surprised. All the colours in the trio are pearl .. very pretty :)

This product retails at £2.50 ... bargain i know!!

And last but not least is my new favourite blusher! Mosaic blush in English Rose.


It gives a really light pinky/peachy glow with a little bit of shimmer :)

These blushers retail again at only £2.50!

That's all the MUA products i own at the moment but i will definitely be buying some more! If your looking for great quality without breaking the bank then MUA is the place to be!

If you would like to look at the full range then check out the super drug website and search MUA :)

E.L.F Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil's

Hi everyone! So my plan was to upload a new review a day (if possible) but my laptop decided to break! But now its back and good as new! So I'm going to review the E.L.F shimmer eyeliner pencils! These pencils retail at £1.50 each and come with a pencil sharpener built into the lid. They come in 9 different colours. I actually thought i had all the colours but when i checked i seem to have two of the same one! the one I'm missing is boldly bronzed which i intend to get and will add a swatch later on :)
so here are the ones i have ...


I also swatched to give you an idea of the true colours..


These pencils are lovely, there so soft and glide on smoothly and don't tug the skin like some eyeliners. The colour pay off is great! you only need to the draw along the lashline once and you get a vibrant result!

As i said above these come with a built in sharpener in the lid. I think this is the only downside to this product. You can see how some of the product has stayed on the plum passion blade .. it would be abit messy if you like to have your makeup in a bag. The lids dont tend to stay on very well either so you could end up with product on your other items.

The staying power of them is great! I put mine on in the morning, usually with no primer and its always the same when i come to take it off at the end of the day!

Sooo yeah i love these! definitely one of my top 10 E.L.F products!

E.L.F Mineral eyeshadows

So i was planning on getting some of these eye shadows for a while but couldn't decide on which colours to get but then the lovely Elf team posted a promotion offering 10 free mineral eye shadows with a minimum spend, AMAZING! So of course i took advantage of this offer. These eye shadows retail at £3.00 each from www.eyeslipsface.co.uk. They come in a small round pot but one pot will last a long time as you don't need to use alot of product :)

I swatched all the colours i have:

Innocent.
Innocent is a matte neutral colour with a really soft finish, perfect for creating a natural eye.


Sweet.

Love this! its a shimmery peachy/pinky colour, could be used to instantly transform a natural eye to a nighttime look without too much effort!


Enchanting

This colour is almost matte, it has a few sparkles in it but there hardly noticeable. Its a lovely orangey brown colour.

Sassy.

A deep bronze colour with lots of sparkle! LOVE it! :)

Temptress.

A matte medium brown gorgeous colour, looks completely different in the pot compared to when swatched. A really lovely colour :)

Girly.

i LOVE this colour! The name says it all, its super girly a really nice light purple with a little sparkle. This one is my personal favourite out of all of these :)

Glamorous.
This ones an odd colour. Its a reddy purple with some shimmer

Mysterious.

This is a semi matte light grey. Melts really nicely into the skin. I will most likely use this as my light colour for a black smokey eye! lovely colour.

Royal.
Again im not sure how to describe this colour. Its kind of a mix between purple and a dark grey :S confusing i know! lols, Very shimmery! An amazing colour.


Seductive.
Gorgeous matte black! Ive been looking for a high pigment matte black for a while and i did not think i would find it for £3.00. Amazing!


So yeah i love these eyeshadows! By far the best eyeshadows ive used, there so easy to blend together and the finish on the eyes is amazing! I love them, actually planning on getting the newer colours when there in stock! :D
