Review | Collection Work the Colour Palette

This is a palette that I bought on my birthday and I wanted to review it because I haven't actually reviewed anything from Collection before. I have bought products from them but I don't really know why I haven't reviewed them. Collection used to be called Collection 2000 for those of you who maybe unaware of that or unsure. Collection is a reasonably priced makeup brand and I think everything is under £4 which is brilliant and they have some really good quality makeup as well.
This is a new palette that has been out for a matter of weeks and it is available in 3 other shades for £3.99. The shade I got is Purple and the other colours they have is Smokey, Natural and Blue so there are colour options for every eye colour an these palettes are super affordable! I chose the purple one because I don't have purple eye shadows and since my eyes are blue, I'd rather get this shade.  
One of the things I have noticed about this palette is each of the three columns have a number, 1, 2 or 3. This makes it easy for beginners because the step-by-step tutorial on the back is clear and easy to understand and the tutorial tells you which colour to use for the look they give you. However, I think this is quite patronising for more professional people in a way because I don't have any palettes where there is the name or numbers etc pressed into the shadow. I don't know why I think it is patronising, but it just annoys me...!! But for beginners it is very useful.  
The pigmentation on this palette when applied to the eyes is really nice. The darker purples are vibrant and bold. The colours are really nice and easy to blend and very long lasting.


Make sure you come back soon for another tutorial, review or random post from my life.

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
