MUA Shade 1 Blusher Review.

Hey Guys!

This weeks been a bit hectic, I'm back at school now (boo!) and I've been doing coursework and going to opening evenings for schools and what not so I'm extremely tired and can't wait for the weekend.

Recently I went into Superdrug and picked up a blusher from MUA; I've been wanting a light pink blush for a while and I like Illamasqua's Katie, however the price tag is a bit too heavy for me right now, so as a substitute I got this one.

 MUA are known for their inexpensive and to be fair decent quality products as I'm sure many of you have tried something of theirs. This blusher is in Shade 1; not the most interesting name granted however that's not the most important thing. Shade 1 is a light peach/pink toned blusher with flickers of shimmer; I think that the shimmer looks really good in the Summer, and also adds a bit of definition in the Winter, especially if like me you turn ghostly pale in the cold.

 What I like about this blush is it is build able without going to the over the top extremes; that might not make sense..is that even a sentence..me no no? x_x

Nevertheless Shade 1 can be a very subtle flush of light pink; for me this is perfect for school as my school doesn't allow make-up (but I can't abide by that in all honesty) so it is enough to give my pale colouring some life again without being overall noticeable, however can be built upon to a similar shade as Benefit's Coralista; at least I think it does. 

What cons can I find with the blusher? Well I can't particularly say that the blusher has longevity; it does fade easily I find; so if you were to have this blusher then maybe carry on you so you can re-apply during the day.

Being only £1 from Superdrug; I cannot complain in the slightest, the blusher provides good enough quality for what you pay and does the job; if you are low on money then MUA is a good brand to use, and even if you're not I would still recommend their brand and this blusher.

Hope you have a great day guys!

June Favourites.

Origins-A Perfect World Moisturizer and Benefit-Porefessional.

My two favourite skin products of the month, the origins moisturizer is the best product ever..it really does clear and help protect skin against antioxidants and the Porefessional does a really good job at making skin look more flawless.

Mac-Blushbaby, Rimmel London-Stay Matte Powder, Fratboy-theBlam.

I love the combination of using Blushbaby and theBalm, they go really well together. Stay Matte is the perfect translucent powder without paying a fortune. 

Jimmy Choo and Benefit-So hooked on Carmella perfume's.

Carmella a well known favourite in the blogging and youtube world is a lovely coconut scented perfume and with it being summer I love to use it, even if the weather isn't all that. Jimmy Choo is that perfume that ever girl has that makes her feel a million pounds and this would be my one.

I won't say much about the MUA palette as I have already done a full review of it here and the Topshop necklace I found in the sale a few weeks back and everyday I go out (when I'm out of uniform) I where it, it is such a versatile piece and go with everything! 

So that's this months favourites, have you tried any of the products I've mentioned? What are your favourite products of the month?

MUA Heaven and Earth Eye-Shadow Palette.

Hey Guys!

So I know that the MUA Heaven and Earth Palette came out quiet a while ago, but I thought I would give my opinions of the palette.

 As you can see the palette is very neutral toned, containing 12 easily usable shades. What I love about this palette is that it is compact and doesn't look tacky, it's very standard and appeals to a majority of  people.

 I've had this palette for a quiet a while now (as I'm sure you can tell!) and I've not neglected a single colour, each colour is highly pigmented and has a slight shimmer to each of them, I was surprised to find that even with the shimmer they are all easily wearable.

 I know that a lot of people have compared this to the Naked palette by Urban Decay, even though the Naked palette respectively has it's pros, the price is slightly high, and with the MUA palette being £4 I can see why it may be more appealing if you are on a budget. 

(Top=Top Row, Bottom=Bottom Row)

The main con that I find with the palette is that there is not a mirror inside it, however saying that at the amazing bargain it is can a girl really complain? 

Overall I do love this palette and would recommend it to anyone, especially if you are just getting into make-up and don't want to break the bank just yet.

The MUA Heaven and Earth Palette is retailed at £4 in Superdrug's that have a MUA Professional counter.
