I know it had been sooo long since I last posted but I have been so busy with college work and I really haven't had anything that I desperately wanted to blog about. If you haven't seen my last post you can have a read here: http://lipstickorlemonade.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/top-10-products-under-10.html.
So, I was taking a look on the MUA website because I'd heard abut their new palettes and I accidently bought a few things...by the way I few people had asked about ordering from the MUA website (whether is safe/good or not) and I'd just like to put it out there that I have never had a problem with ordering MUA online, they package everything really well individually wrapped bubble wrapped so that nothing gets damaged which and the delivery is often pretty quick.
Prime and Conceal
This is one of MUA's new products that it supposed to cover dark circles as well as priming the skin. I thought this sounded interesting and at only £1.50 I thought I may as well try it out! I haven't tried it properly yet but after swaching it on my hand it has quite a waxy texture so I am interested to give it a go.
Matte Lipsticks
These are also new from MUA. There are five lipsticks in their new matte range and I picked up four of them as they are only £1.00 each (I would of got all five but the nude didn't look too good).
This is the first one called Pouty Pink (the picture doesn't reflect how bright it is). It is such a gorgeous, girly, pink and reminds me a lot of macs chatterbox.
The next is a lovely pinky, peach called Peachy Keen. I know it is getting colder and peaches are more of a summer thing but I really love peach and coral lipsticks!
This is an amzing deep red called Scarlet Siren (a lot darker than the picture shows) and can be built up to look absolutely amazing. It has a slightly pinky/cherry feel to it but I think it is just perfect for this time of year.
I have always loved these dark plum lipsticks and I think they look amazing in the winter and in the evening. This is called Wild Berry and looks amazing in the packaging, but unfortunately when swaching on my hand it didn't show up very dark and just came out as a sheer purple. I'm hoping that I'll be able to build it up on the lips but I'll let you know.
Matte Palette
This is what I was most excited about arriving as I am a real matte girl so MUA's new matte range was just the best thing ever to me. I particularly love matte eye-shadows and this palette is so great. I love all the colours and after swaching they are all really pigmented and come out really well, even the lightest ones. My favourite colour by far is fog which comes out as a beautiful steely blue. At only £4.00 I would recommend this soo much.
Eye Brushes
Suprisingly enough I have never tried any of the MUA brushes but whilst I was on their website last week I thought I'd have a look as I need some new eye brushes. On MUA they have three brushes for eye-shadows: E1, E2 and E3. They are only £1.95 each so I thought I'd give them all a go.
This is E1 which is a standard eye-shadow brush with a tapered, rounded edge. The brush part of all the brushes are soo soft I couldn't believe it when I felt them. I also love the design of the brushes as they have a nice long handle and look quite sleek and smooth.
This is E2 which is an eye-shadow contour brush. IT has a medium angled, tapered, flat top brush which is ideal for applying eye-shadow in the corner or crease of the eye. I am really looking forward to using this on a smoky eye.
E3 is the final brush that I got and it is a blending eye-shadow brush for shaping eye makeup. These brushes are really great for softening edges and blending your eye-shadow.
Fashionista Flawless Primer
I am always looking out for good drugstore primers and I had heard some good things about this one so I finally got around to buying it. It definitely leaves the skin really soft and silky as it describes on the tube. I can't wait to try this and see if it lives up to my expectations which actually aren't that high as it was only £3.00.
