Review | MUA Cosmetics Pretty Edgy Palette

So this is my first post as a 17 year old! My birthday was yesterday and I bought some makeup which I will haul and review for you guys probably next week so stay tuned for that. 
This review is going to be on the Pretty a Edgy Palette by MUA Cosmetics. As you guys may know, I love MUA because of the quality and affordability of their products and I have reviewed several of their palettes and the reviews from them have been a mix of good and bad so let's get to reviewing this palette.

This palette is from the Luxe Collection, exclusively available at Superdrug for £8. One of the reasons I wanted to buy it was because the design of the case isn't something like I have seen before on a palette. As you can see, it has these silver spikes on the front which give it that rocker, edgier feel which I like. But this is also what makes it expensive because the layout is exactly the same as the Smokin Palette which is available for £6. 
There are 10 shades in this palette and they are mainly pink-purple plum shades with a black. I really like the range of colours in this palette and I haven't really got any of these shades.

The photo doesn't really do the colours justice because the colours are a bit darker in real life.

These shades are shimmery colours. 
The first colour is the lightest colour and it is called Antique. 
The next colour along is called Bow. 
The third colour is called Toile and it is a light lilac colour. 
The fourth shadow starts to get a bit more dramatic. It is a metallic grey looking colour called Ruffle.
The fifth shade is called Flounce and it seems like a burnt burgundy colour. 
The last shade on the top row is called Lace which is a really pretty crimson colour.  


Bottom to top: Antique, Bow, Toile, Ruffle, Flounce, Lace

These colours are matte shades.
On the second row, the first shade is called Sinful.
The next colour along is called Gothic which is like a brown.
Third shade is called Wrath which is a purple.
Finally, the last colour is called Envy and it is a black.

From left to right: Sinful, Gothic, Wrath, Envy 

The things I like about this palette is that you get a mix of matte and shimmery shades so you can balance out a look. All the colours are super pigmented, easy to blend and I have just tested out some shades on my lids without a base and they actually look really nice and bold. 

The one thing I don't like about the palette is the price. It is £8 but still considered affordable, but it isn't something worth giving a negative view  about. 

Overall, I love this palette and would recommend it.

So I hope you guys liked this review and if you have your own thoughts about this palette then leave it in the comment box below.

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
