MUA Mosaic Bronzer

Just a quick review post guys!

I have seen over the past few years a lot of different brands doing this mosaic style blushers and bronzers but they have never really caught my eye or made me want to by them, they have also been so expensive for what they are that I really haven't seen much point! But when I spotted that MUA were doing their own version for only £2.50 I just had to buy it and see for myself.

It really is effective! mixing the different colours together looks amazing as they contrast on your face, as I am quite olive skinned, it looks great when I have brown eye make-up, it makes my cheeks gleam almost like a highlighter but the colours look great and really bring out your skin!

They also do pinker versions of this either in Superdrug stores or online:

Super funky nails!

So this post is not so much make-up related but I just had to share this super cool find that I came across whilst make-up shopping today, it is called 'Nail Constellation' by MUA and they caught my eye straight away as I did not have a clue what they were but they just looked so interesting that I had to buy them.

Basically they are tiny little coloured balls and can be bought in various colours but I went for black and blue, and they are so simple to use, it is a very different kind of nail varnish but they just look so effective, you paint your nails as usual with a colour of your choice and whilst the nail polish is still wet you pour these balls onto the nail and wait for them to dry, they look so pretty and effective!

You can put them on every single one of your nails if you desire but I decided to be minimalistic and just put them on a single nail as you can see below!

This item is available to buy from Superdrug for just £3!

or buy them at their online store!

MUA Artiste Palette

So obviously as I do most days I was make-up shopping and as I was in the MUA section of Superdrug which I usually am I came across an offer they had where if you spend £6 worth of make-up you get a free Artiste Palette, the colours in this palette look so strange and unique that I just had to get one, not only because this is a great value for money as the palette alone is £6 but the colours in the palette are just so eyecatching!

In the palette you get 6 different colours of eye shadow which are two different blended colours in each and then you also get two blushers, a bronzer and a highlighter so really it has most things that you would need to see use in your everyday make-up routine.

This palette can also be bought online or the offer still stands at the moment if you want it for free just spend £6 on other products!

Make-up Collection Video Addiction!

So today I have basically just been spending most of the day watching videos on Youtube! of various different peoples make-up collections, as I am not really into posting my own tutorial videos and prefer taking photos I love watching everybody elses and seeing how they do their make-up or organise their collection of make-up so this post is just dedicated to these videos really! I am going to put my top 5 favourite videos on here but please go look and decide for yourself which one your favourite is also!

Kate Moss Crazy

SO basically, I am addicted to Kate Moss lipstick and I don't care who knows it! It is one of the best lipsticks I have bought in a long time, it stays on for absolutely ages.
I went make-up shopping yesterday and instead of coming out of the shop with make-up that I actually need I ended up buying lots of her lipstick, it was on a 3 for 2 offer and I just couldn't resist.
This make-up comes to £5.49 each, and although I could be spending my well earned money on something other than lipstick I personally think this is a reasonable price for this lipstick, the quality is better than any top of the range make-up i've bought.
I wore one out last night and never once had to go to the toilet to top up on my lipstick, it stayed perfect for the whole night and I have never been able to say that about a lipstick before.
This lipstick is totally worth buying.
The four numbers of the colours (they don't have names) that I bought were :

107 (Dark Red)
110 (Coral)
04 (Purple)
20 (Pink)

                            

These products can be also found online at both Boots and Superdrug's websites which are listed below:

How I do my eyebrows

For a very very VERY long time now, many people have asked me how I do my eyebrows, What is my trick to making them even? What products do I use on them? Do I get them waxed? Do I tweeze them? Do I even have any eyebrows? Are they tattooed? ...the questions about my eyebrows could go on forever, but I decided that I would finally show everybody how I do my eyebrows so it clears up any 'secrets' or 'tips' that I may have about them! 

But lets get one thing straight first...

No they are not tattooed

Yes I do have eyebrows

Yes I get them waxed sometimes

Yes I tweeze them probably once every week

The product I use on my eyebrow is any old eyebrow pencil, normally I would use either a Rimmel eyebrow pencil or a No7, it honestly just depends on how I am feeling on that particular day.

There is no real trick or tips to how I do my eyebrows, I have tried many different ways and many different shapes and how I have my eyebrows now is just the way I feel comfortable with having them! 

So I thought the best way of going through how I do my eyebrows is a step-to-step photo guide so you can keep looking through them and perfect your own eyebrows in which ever way you like to do them! 

The eyebrow pencil I am using in this tutorial is a Rimmel one and the colour is 004 Black/Brown these come in at around £3.50 and can be bought at most beauty stores, just pick the colours that is right for you! 

 Step 1 : Draw two lines opposite each other on the inner side of the eyebrow, trying to make them as parallel as possible, keep the lines just outside of the peak of the nose.

 Step 2: Draw a line following the shape of your eyebrow, if you do not have any eyebrows and like to go freestyle, make sure that the two lines are symmetrical to one another, gradually take the line to the end of the brow and give the end a sharp finish

 Step 3: Draw another line underneath the brow parallel to the line that you just drew at the top of the brow, carry on across the brow until you meet at the end of the brow making sure it thins out as you go along so that the end of the brow is not too thick

 Step 4: Colours the inside of the brow to make you eyebrow hair the same colour as the outline that you have just created, the harder you press with your pencil the darker your newly drawn brow will be! Go over any bits that you think are uneven, and another little tip to make you brow look smoother, get an eyebrow brush or a small eyeshadow brush and blend over your finished brow with a dark brown eyeshadow to give it a blended look.

Quick easy way to draw eyebrows with no fuss!

MUA Professional Eye Primer REVIEW

I have been going slightly MUA crazy recently but considering how cheap this brand up make-up is it is just so tempting that I have to buy every single item of it, I can honestly say it is one of the best brands of make-up that I have used in a very long time and couldn't resist but spend more money on it today.

I have used many different types of primer over the past few years and in all honesty have spent more money than I should have done on it but for £2.50 I just had to see if this compared to any other brands of primer that I have used such as MAC and Benefit.

Eye primer is used just under the brow to give light to the eye when applying make up, to make the eyeshadow look clearer and sharper and give an easier application and sometimes is used on its own to just brighten the eye on those tired days.

I am glad I gave this primer a try, although I found it quite runny for a primer it worked really well, you only need to use a tiny bit and  it works wonder on the eye, for me, who is someone that wears eyeshadow nearly everyday it is a god send! It makes such a different when applying my eye make up but also to how I look, I look and even feel more awake, this item of make-up is definitely one to buy for those early monday mornings!

This product can be bought at any Superdrug store or online at
