Review | MUA Undressed Palette

This is a review of a palette I that I thought I would be using this season but after experimenting with it I'm going to have to find a new one. That is unfortunate because I really like MUA but there is something different about the Undressed Palette. The Undressed Palette is a duplication of the Urban Decay Naked Palette and at £4 instead of £36 for the original thing, I thought I would try it. 


 OK, let's start with a good note and talk about the positives of this product. I really like the shades that come with it and the contrast between the light shades and the dark shades which is why I chose it for Autumn. I think the pigmentation of the shades is outstanding and they blend really nicely. Application is smooth and easy and I like the balance of matte and shimmery shades. 

 Shade 1,2,3,4,5,6



 Shade 7,8,9,10,11,12
 OK, now on to the negative side. These are the reasons why I'm not going to be using this much.

 Application seems really smooth but even with a primer the shadows still seemed to smudge together and get into a huge mess over my eyes. I used shade 2 from this palette earlier today to do my makeup for my friends photography and it wasn't a smooth base after a while and it showed some tiny little bumps that formed on my eyes for some reason and that doesn't happen with other shadows so there is something not quite right about this palette. 

So unfortunately this palette will end up not being used as much as I use other MUA products which is a shame because you guys know how much I love MUA because of the quality and affordability of their products but I am really disappointed with this palette.

How To: Apply False Nails

Image
Hey guys Today I thought of doing a quick post today. Today I wanted to do a 'How To' post and this one is Applying False Nails. Even though it's easy, you need to do it properly so they look as natural as possible. And I'm going to tell you how I apply my false nails. You need: False Nails (you can get them cheap in supermarkets, makeup stores etc) Nail Glue (most nails come with glue, but you can buy glue at Superdrug for around £4 ( www.superdrug.co.uk ) Cuticle Pusher or cuticle stick Nail scissors (curved work best) Emery board 1) Begin by selecting the false nails that best fit your natural nail. It needs to be accurate because it will look more realistic. 2) Use a cuticle stick/pusher and gently push your cuticles back to avoid the nail sticking to it (which, will hurt if you take them off!!) If you want, you can cut the cuticles off. 3) Apply nail glue all over the natural nail. Be careful with the glue - it bonds in seconds, difficult to remove

MUA Cosmetics Review

Hey everyone Last week for my birthday, I went shopping and while I was in Superdrug and I  picked up some things from MUA (Makeup Academy). There are some products here I haven't tried, one product I have but not this particular name. I actually fell in love with this brand when it was a very small company when everything was £1! Then the company expanded which made me very happy and so I tried   these products and I have mixed reviews. The first product I am reviewing is the BB Cream. This is £4 in the MUA online store ( www.muastore.co.uk ) or in Superdrug ( www.superdrug.com ). I wanted a BB Cream because I find foundation is too heavy and is bad for your skin and I started to go off tinted moisturizer. Anyway, for the price in general is OK for the product. I bought Shade Medium last week and I think this is a bit too dark for me even though the medium and light shade are very similar. The BB Cream is easy to blend. For me, this is going to be mixed with something light
