My Mua Eyeshadows !

Hey guys , i haven't been blogging for the past few days as i have been busy. But anyway today I'm going to do my mua eyeshadow collection & swatches. I've been meaning to do this for ages but i keep forgetting , anyway i have 9 eye shadows to talk about today so lets got started.
Here's a Picture of all the Mua eye shadows i have :
~Please click the picture to enlarge it~

I have the eye shadows in shade 4-18
Top line Shades : 4, 5, 6,7,8     Bottom line Shades: 9 , 10 , 16 , 18
As you can see these eye shadows come in large-ish pan and have domed lids , the lids make them hard to stack sometimes :(

Here's some swatches of the shadows shade 4-7 (going from right to left)

As you can see these are the swatches of one of the Pearl lilacs and all the green eye shadows.

Here's a swatches of the rest of the eye shadows Shades : 7-18
Shade 18s swatch is on the palm of my hand.

As you can see these eye shadows are very pigmented and they aren't gritty at all. I only have 2 mattes as they don't stay on me as well as the pearls. These eye shadows stay on all day , as long as you add a hint of your favourite eyeshadow primer. Mua have a wide range of eye shadows ranging from shade 1-20 . Mua is sold in Super Drug in the UK. Each MUA product is £1 , so there a great bargain.

Have you ever tried Mua if so what are your thoughts ?

Primer Problems!

Primer , Primer , Primer :(
Am i ever going to find a eyeshadow primer to suit my needs ? I've tried a UDPP ( Urban Decay Potion Primer) sample for a while and at first it was great. My Shadow stayed it didnt fade , crease and the colours popped. Now it just doesnt seem to work anymore. I've been wanting to buy a full sized primer for ages but i could never decide on which to buy. I didnt want UDPP due to the bad packaging and having to depot it. So now im thinking about Too Faced Shadow Insurance. The problem that bugs me the most with eyeshadow is the creasing its one of my pet hates. Theres been some great feedback about Too Faced Shadow Insurance , it solves all my problems and im in love with the packaging :)

Im still not sure though so i thought i'd ask you guys what you think. What do you think about UDPP or To Faced Shadow Insurance ?

                     Too Faced Shadow Insurance .VS. Urban Decay Primer Potion !!!!
See You Soon xxxx
P.S : Please comment with your feedback =)

Superdrug & Boots Haul / Review

Hey Guys , today i got a mini haul for you with like 4 items LOL, not many but i have tried all these products since i bought them so I'm doing a review of them to :)
So i got 3 mua items : Lipstick shade 7 , Lip gloss shade 5 and an eyeshadow shade 9. I also went to boots and got 1 natural collection item , its a blusher. I got the blusher in pink cloud (LOVE the name)
Review Time!!!
The mua lipstick is very moisturising this is my 3rd lipstick to add to my "mua lipstick collection" Its very pigmented and is very easy to build up. Also if you remove the cap at the bottom , were it shows the colour , its actually a lip gloss so its more like a 2 for 1 there.
The lip gloss also impressed me it wasn't sticky at all and was highly moisturising . Also unlike some lip gloss the colour didn't spread to the edge of my lips. I really like the colour to , however it does have shimmer/glitter in it. The glitter doesn't show on your lips though.
The eyeshadow is AMAZING! when you swatch it , it has a really nice shimmer to it with hints of gold and blue but the glitter in it is less pigmented on your eyes. The eyeshadow itself is highly pigmented , with a touch of Urban Decay Potion Primer it stays on all day and doesn't spread/fade at all.
Natural Collection Blusher in Pink Cloud , that i love. Its really pigmented to swatch and wear. You can wear it for special occasions or an everyday. Its really easy to build so its great for beginners to makeup. It has a lovely shimmer but it doesn't show on the face. I can put it on and it will stay all day :)

Swatch Time!!!
Top to Bottom : Mua eyeshadow shade 9 , Natural Collection Blusher in Pink Cloud , Mua lipstick shade 7 , Mua lip gloss shade 5

Mua items are sold in Super drug in the UK for £1. Natural Collection  items are sold in Boots for £1.99 each or 3 for £5.
Have you ever tried Natural Collection or Mua if so what are your thoughts ?
See you soon :) xxx

Natural Collection Wish List

I have been loving Natural Collection lately so i decided to do a wish list of some of the things i want. I'm probably gunna get some of these things the next time I'm in town or something. Anyway lets start.
      • Natural Collection , Lip gloss fondant~ i probably spelt that wrong but anyway if your a youtuber you may no about this lip gloss. I'm not gunna add pictures onto this cause i don't want  the post to be like a mile long. Basically this shade is a really nice pale pink/nude lip gloss. It perfect if you don't want a harsh coloured lip gloss and theres some great feedback on YouTube. I would love to check it out =)
      • Natural Collection Mascara~ I'm sorry that i don't have a shade or any way to describe this I'm SO sorry! But i forgot the name but I'll probably comment below when i find out. My friend tryed out one of there mascaras (Which name i forgot) and said it was really good and suggest i check it out which i wanna asap.
      • Natural Collection Pressed Power , Warm~ On Wednesday (6.04.11) i hit pan on my mua pressed powder. Theres like 1cm left of powder now or something and I'm in need of more. I decided i wanna try a Natural Collection powder just for a change to see which is better for my skin. I'm not sure on a shade (yet) but i think warms the shade for me.
Sorry Guys but that's all i have got to think of right now. If theres more I'll just add them on. Also if your new to Natural Collection then continue reading : All products are under £2's and are available in Boots (Boots stores are in the UK) The bigger the store the more chance they'll have the product your looking for =)

Natural Collection Lipstick Pink Mallow

I was in town yesterday and  i thought I'd try one of the Natural Collection Lipsticks. I had been watching some reviews on the Natural Collection "Pink Mallow" lipstick so i thought i would try it out.
As you can see , its a nude-ish colour with a hint of pink. I have been wanting a new pink colour for a while but there either : To Dark or To Light. It goes on quite well and you would think it would be rubbish with it being £1.99 but its not as bad as you think it is. It builds up quite well to. It lasts about 3+  hours which is not bad for a £1.99 lipstick. The only reason it started to fade after 3 hours was that i ate something. Its not to big or chunky so its great for taking out & about with you i rate it 4.5/5. I think everyone should try one of these lipsticks as you never no the outcome =)

Natural Collection Cover up stick

Hey people , you may or may not have noticed that i havent been posting in a while. So this is my first post since like january or something. Anyway, today im gunna be doing a little review on the Natural Collection Cover up Stick (in Fair)



You can buy natural collection makeup from Boots in the uk. All items are under 2 pounds so i thought i'd check there cover up stick out. I bought my stick in fair and thought it was quite good. I use my cover-up stick under my eyes and to cover up any spots i may have on my face and i would say it gives about 75% coverage under the eyes. As for spots i would say it gives me 85% coverage. I heard on youtube that the correcter stick is REALLY good for spots and redness on your face. So you could use the correcter stick , then apply the cover up stick. They do the stick in 2 shades theres Fair (lighter shade) and Medium (Darker Shade) I found medium was to orange for my skin tone. I have re-bought this cover-up stick until i find something off better quailty. But for now i'd say it is real good. I would give it a 4/5 rating.
Thanks for reading this =) I'll be upoading a review on Natural Collection Pink Mellow Lipstick soon.
