Favourite lip products this week - MUA and Boots No. 7

I thought I would do a quick blog post on the 2 lip products that I've been loving this week.

The first one is the product that I bought in my last blog and its the MUA lipstick in a gorgeous deep red colour that they call 'Shade 1' - its such a gorgeous colour and its so soft and lovely to apply, I felt really great wearing it. The only drawback is that you have to re-apply it a little more than you might want, but I didn't mind as I love putting lipstick on :P haha.

Secondly, is Boots No. 7 High Shine Lipgloss in 'Whisper' - this is totally different to the lipstick. Its a pinky peach gloss with a hint of glitter, but still great for everyday use. It smells really nice and has its own applicator.

I've put a pic on of the 2 looks, just to compare them and so you can see what they look like :)

MUA mini make up haul!

I went on a quick shopping trip today into Superdrug and picked up a few things from the MUA range.
I really love so many of the products from this range, they are so cheap but I think the quality is great and because of the price it means you can afford to try out lots of different things!

Primarily, I was looking for some new eyeshadow, but couldn't quite decide on which shade. I found the MUA 'Undress me too' palette, which has 12 different shades and is only £4! There is even a mini tutorial on the back of the case telling you how to blend some of the colours together.

I love my MUA blusher in 'candyfloss' so I thought I would try the 'cupcake' one as it is a really nice peachy colour and it is an unbelievable £1... which is just crazy! The quality of the blush is great, too, and it stays on the cheek pretty much all day long!

Superdrug have currently got an offer on MUA products where if you spend £6 you get a 'Colour blast eyeshadow tint' for free...

So!... I'd only spent £5 and when I saw that the great selection of lipsticks are only £1, so to make it up to £6 I picked up a gorgeous deep red coloured lipstick in 'Shade 1'
MUA lipsticks are really nice and pigmented and you really do have enough colour on the lips with just one application!

Then, like I said, I got my free MUA colour blast eyeshadow tint. I went for the 'Loud' colour, which is a lovely purple. The tints are in the form of a chubby stick, so there's not as much waste of product when it gets near the end and they're really easy to apply.

I cant wait to try out all my new products , and can't believe I got all this for just £6, I'll definitely be popping back to Superdrug soon!
I will use some of these products and let you know in one of my next blogs what I thought.

Speak soon!

Saturday! Make up for work and new accessories.

So Saturday is here! But unfortunately, for me, it still means work :( I am sooo jealous of people who get to have weekends off and you always hear them saying 'ooh I'm so happy its Friday!' - but nevermind!
Just because I'm going to work it doesn't mean I can't still enjoy trying different make up looks out, so I thought I'd share mine for today:

I'm using the Rimmel Wake-Me-Up foundation in 'true ivory,' Rimmel exaggerate eye liner in '001 - Black,' a mixture of champagne, purple and black eyeshadow from the BobbyPin palette from Boots, all blended together (this is quite an old palette, not sure if they still sell it!) MUA blush in 'candyfloss' and a gorgeous new lipstick I got from Rimmel (again!) in 'Rose passion.' It's such a pretty colour - just a little tip I use is to cover it with a tiny amount of vaseline or clear lip gloss as it keeps it in place longer!

This is quite a basic look, but I always feel nice when I've made a bit of an effort for work.

I also just have to share these super cute accessories that I bought this week.
One is a lovely large black rose neclace on a silver chain and the other is a set of 2 hair slides with Jack Skellington on them (from Nightmare before Christmas)



They are both from 'The Skullery' which is an ebay shop that do absolutely loads of accessories, so I would definitely recommend going to have a look!

Anyway, like I said, I am going off to work.
Thanks for reading today :D
