More MUA Products Haul

I went a little bit MUA crazy just before Christmas. Here are my spoils...

I originally went on for a bit of a browse and to see if I could get an eyebrow pencil...i didn't get an eyebrow pencil but I did get this super pretty eye shadow in shade 24 pearl. It isn't quite as buttery as I had hoped as I heard lots of good reviews about there single shadows but for £1 who can grumble!

I then went for this gel eyeliner...not sure why because I hardly every wear anything other than kohl but I really like this. It has a brush with it which is handy for travel but I use my benefit get bent liner brush. This stuff lasts all day and then some! This is in the shade underground and is a snip at £3.

I got these because who doesn't love glitter! I would only wear these on a night out but I think they are great addition to my make up collection. Top is Starry Night, bottom is Silver Sparkle and they are both £1.

Next I decided to bulk up my lippie collection as I have recently thrown lots of old lipsticks out.

I went for (L-R) Shade 15 Juicy, Shade 5, Shade 7, Shade 9. These are £1 each...bargain!

I couldn't resist trying one of these Intense Kissed which is like a highly pigmented lipgloss/lipstick. It is amazingly pigmented and I think I may buy more! This is shade Kiss and Tell for £2.

Without flash (L-R) Shade 15 Juicy, Shade 5, Shade 7, Shade 9, Kiss and Tell.

muastore.co.uk are running an offer at the minute of 50% off everything and free shipping so I am going to be placing another order tonight I think as these are such good quality for next to nothing!

Anyone recommend anything?

Autumn Nails

Just thought I would show you what I am wearing on my nails as the weather has turned!

Revlon Brilliant Strength - 160 Dominant - This is a rich chocolate brown and is an alternative to a black as it is quite dark. I love the brush on this as it is quite thick so you can cover one nail in one sweep!

Essie - 43 It's Genius - This is a burgundy purple with lovely gold shimmer. This is so opulent and will carry you through Autumn and the festive period.

Nails Inc. - Victoria - This is my all time favorite autumn winter colour.it is a deep red/burgundy colour which looks really classy and last a week on my nails.

When it starts getting towards December I tend to start adding a glitter top coat to my nail polish too. If you cant wear glitter in December when can you wear it!?

Naughty Naughty!

I have been trying to save money recently but I haven't been able to curb my makeup addiction! However I have tried to be somewhat savvy about my purchases! 

The Mac buys were from blog sales and I got them at bargain prices and they have hardly been used! The MUA stuff was off their website where they had an offer if you bought a Lip Boom for £3.00 and you got an Ultimate collection for free! I also popped the Mosaic Blush in my basket too as I had seen on someone s blog it was a dupe for Benefits Hervana! 

Mac Quad - Caviar Dreams - £15 (Blog sale)

Mac MSF - Porcelain Pink - £13 (Blog sale)

MUA Mosaic Blush - English Rose - £2.50

MUA Ultimate Collection - £8.00 (but I got it free)

MUA Lip Boom - Cheeky - £3.00

I am actually really impressed with the MUA products. I have never used any of them before but will be purchasing some more in the future! They appear to be well pigmented for the price. I haven't had much use out of them at the moment but can't see me having many issues with them!

The only thing I am not too keen on is that the Lip Boom was sealed my with some awful stickers which left icky sticky stuff on the tube which looks awful and no doubt will pick any fluff or whatever up in the bottom of a bag! 

Ugh. 

I hate sticky stuff! That and the gloss has quite a lot of glitter in it. I will probably wear it on a night out but think I will leave it out for the day time!

Even though these were quite cheap I think I should keep my purse in my bag for a while...I HAVE ENOUGH! I DO NOT NEED IT!

(...maybe :P)

'It's Time to Rock!'

Very impressed with this nail varnish. 

Great thick brush and 2 coats was plenty! 

I wish I could buy more!

Mavala Christmas Nails!

From my previous nail post you can see I like sparkle at Christmas.

I saw this in John Lewis and thought it was a little more delicate than my first attempt!

Mavala Mini Nail Color in 213 Pure Diamond - 5ml (£4.10).

Beautiful multi coloured glitter polish.

Pictures are with 3 coats.

This particular nail varnish came in Christmas packaging which and be hung on a Christmas tree....Cute!

Christmas Nails!

So most of my polishes are at home so I had to be kinda creative! This is the sparkly mess I made but I like it!

First I used O.P.I's Nail Envy Original as a base coat.

  

Then two coats of Nails Inc in colour Victoria, four coats of W7 Silver Glitter and one coat of Nails Inc Albert Bridge top coat.

I am not looking forward to removing this! I plan on soaking in O.P.I's Acetone Free Nail Polish Remover and hopefully that will do the trick!

Yes...I ADORE CHRISTMAS!

I love Christmas because it means getting together with friends and family and just appreciating what we have.

Obviously the food, presents, sparkliness and merriment helps!

So here are a few things which I love about the holiday season...

Christmas wishes to you all!!!
