MUA colour intense eyeliner review

MUA intense colour eyeliners review

The makeup line MUA is a super cheap line by superdrug a lot of things are £1 and none are above £8 but most below £4. Now the one thing from the line i am really impressed with is the eyeliners, they come in a wide variety of colours ranging from orange to green and the more subtle every day brown and back and they are only £1!

They are super soft eyeliners and come with a pencil sharpener built into the lid, so great for on the go touch ups.

The first one I have is called ‘Turquoise ‘and it is a shimmery aqua blue

The second is just the plain black called ‘ jet black ‘ just a plain no shimmer no sparkle every day black

I really like this one it’s just a plain white for your water lie to brighten up your eyes its called ‘snow white

The last one which i am not so impressed with is a glittery silver called ‘silver sparkle ‘. Now when I was buying this i thought it was just going to be a lovely opaque silver sparkle on my eyes, but no its almost like a thick gel with just big chunks of silver glitter that when you apply them it looks just very un even and just badly done.

But overall would give these eyeliners a very big thumbs up and for only £1 they are a steal, so be sure to try some next time you are in superdrug!

Max factor False lash effect mascara

This is a great mascara and it gives a great effect.

It is very black and feels amazing on the lashes. I really like the wand, it is very big and it grabs the lashes well and does not clump them together. It is a plastic wand.

The formula does not crisp and go really hard it still keeps your eyelashes looking natural and not dramatic.

After

Before

I would say it is quite a expensive mascara at £10.99 but i definitely think it is worth it.i really like the packaging as it is sleek and looks nice in your makeup bag.

Accessorize baked blusher review

Hey guys,

Accessorize is a girly shop that sells all sorts of things and they have recently brought out their new makeup line and I wanted to do a review on their baked blushers

Ok so the first thing is the baked blusher in ‘ 8 - Quiver ‘it is a very shimmery pink with purple under tones. I just really like this it is sort of a 2 in 1 it acts as your blush and highlight and just gives you a lovely rosy flush. It is not too pigmented which in some ways I like because you can just slap it on and go not have to worry too much about blending. As for the packaging I really like it actually it doesn’t look too cheap and you can see the colour through the top of the lid as it is clear and it doesn’t feel too cheap and rubbishy.

Overall I really like the things I have tried from their makeup line and they are not going to bust the bank as they are not too expensive the blusher is only £5!

Best and worst drugstore products

Best:

Soap and glory -The righteous butter-50ml-£2.50

It is very moisturising and smells lovely, we love the packaging and the price!

Natural collection lash curl mascara-Black-£1.99

This makes your eyelashes look super long and doesn't clump, the brush is nice with a tapered end and the price is amazing as it wont break the bank.

MUA blusher-shade 4 - £1

These blushes are very pigmented and looks lovely on the face and its only £1!

Maybeline moisture extreme lipstick-royal red-£5.19

This is crazy pigmented and is a gorgeous fire engine red and is very moisturising as the name suggests.

Collection 2000 extreme 24 hour felt tip liner-black-£2.99

This is extremely black and the nib is very accurate because it comes to a fine point, the price is amazing and it comes in a range of shades.

MUA eyeshadow palette-heaven and earth-£4

In this palette there are 12 useful colours that all have very good pigmentation, they are neutral and have shimmer, the price is barmy for £4, so that makes it only 33p per eyeshadow!!!

MUA lip gloss-shade 3-£1

This is a lovely colour and looks great on the lips alone. The smell is to die for and smells very sweet, and again the price is amazing.

Rimmel stay glossy- fuchsia fever- £6.29

The pigmentation is fricken awesome and is a beautiful fuchsia colour, it is very glossy and the brush is really unique.

Bourjois chocolate bronzer-shade 52-£6.99

This product smells so much like chocolate, it is pretty darn good. We also like because it has no shimmer so you can contour with it.

collection 2000 smokey eyes palette-3 smokey- £4.19

The pigmentation is great and it has a lovely range of colour which you can do many looks with. The price is fantastic.

Worst:

Collection 2000 colour intense trio-7 night jewels-£2.99

The colours aren't the most wearable and are chalky and not the best pigmentation.

Collection 2000 kohl eyeliner- 20 kingfisher-£1.99

This eyeliner is not very pigmanted, it is not soft and is hard to use.

Elf regular and waterproof mascara duo-brown-£1.50

As you can see the photo shows how it got deliverd to my front door. It is all clumpy and unuseable.

Natural collection bronzer- golden glow-£1.99

It is very shimmery and will make you look like a glitter ball so it is hard to use as a contour. Also the packaging is very cheap.

Loreal 6 hour glam shine lip gloss-forever nude-£8.69

This is not 6 hour wear it is about 30 minutes and as soon as you eat or drink it will come off. The colour is too sparkely for our liking although we do like the applicator.

Poundland chit chat tea tree concealer-light -£1

This concealer has a very bad coverage and a terrible colour range. Although it is a great eyeshadow base.

2true blush-shade 1-£1.99

This product is not very pigmentated and is quite chalky and when you look through the little window you think you are getting more product than you actually.

Body shop big and curvy mascara-black-£10

We do not particularly like this mascara as it smells awful. The packaging is pretty bad as the mascara is £10 and we think there are better at that price on the market.
