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!

MAC Ruby Woo Review.

Hey Guys!

Today I'm back and wanted to do a blog post on my current favourite lipstick Ruby Woo by MAC. Recently I've decided that this autumn/winter I want to try to pull off bolder lip colours, Ruby Woo is one of these colours and I have been loving it!

 Ruby Woo is a true red matte MAC lipstick, which means that it will contain more pigment but not give off a shine, some people say that matte lipsticks are harder to apply as they are more dry, I find that lip balm before applying my lipsticks always works and especially in the case of a matte lipstick, the smoothness of the lip balm defuses the dryness making it easy to apply to the lips. Ruby Woo is a true red, there is no doubt about that, I really like how the red tones are bold but not too in your face (although pictures of me wearing it may say differently,haha)

I really like to wear Ruby Woo to spice up an outfit, if i'm looking slightly plain in clothes I like to wear this red lipstick to brighten up the outfit, I think that Ruby Woo is quite versatile in its wearability, however as it is a red I wouldn't personally pair it with an outfit that is very bold and I keep my make-up a little more toned down so that the colours do not clash, sometimes when you see people wearing a bold outfit with bold blusher and red lipstick you don't know where to look because there's so much going on, if you know what I mean.

As with any lipstick I have to reapply during the day, which is no hassle to be honest, but I find that I am more conscience on topping it up as if the fading of the lipstick is uneven it can look a bit ridiculous! What I love about red lipsticks, in particular Ruby Woo is that it would suit everyone, so I would definitely recommend Ruby Woo to anyone, something I would suggest but some of you may know already is if you do have/purchase Ruby Woo or any red lipstick for that matter pick up a red lip liner too, it can be a high street one, I bought Sleek's Rouge for myself because it was cheaper and seems good quality, the only reason I would highly suggest a lip liner is because red lipsticks tend to bleed out, the lip liner will help this not happen, so in the long run it is worth it.

Overall I really love this lipstick, I would repurchase the £13.50 lipstick again from MAC, it is truly the perfect red, lasts a decent amount of time and will be a really good lipstick shade to have in the pot for this season.

Hope you guys enjoyed this post!
