Mini Haul | April 2014 plus Reviews

Earlier I found myself in Boots and Superdrug and I bought three new face products. I hardly ever buy face makeup because I don't usually wear any face makeup apart from concealer and powder. Recently I've developed an addiction to wearing blusher and bronzer a lot more so I picked up some new stuff today and decided to do a mini review as well.
MUA Blusher in 'Candyfloss', £1

I haven't been a fan of MUA Blushes at £1, I only have one in my collection and since I don't normally wear it I haven't bought any more. These blushes have been changed since the last time I bought them and they seem to be better now. These blushes are incredibly silky, very nice to apply and easy to blend. This shade of blush is called 'Candyfloss.' The new design of this blush is thinner and longer than the first design so it's more sleek and more compact. There is one or two other shades I want out of the five shades available but unfortunately Superdrug had failed to re-fill the MUA section in the makeup aisle. I really like this blush, I like the colour and the pigmentation and it gives a nice rosy effect.
MUA Mosaic Bronzer in Shade 2, £2.50

This is the MUA Mosaic Bronzer, £2.50. This is Shade 2. I have wanted a new bronzer for some time now but I didn't want to spend money on something I probably wasn't going to use. I picked this up earlier because it looked really pretty. I like the pigmentation of it and it's really easy to blend as well. My only disappointment with this product is that it gets incredibly dusty when you pick up the powder with a brush do it needs dusting off to keep it looking nice.
Natural Collection Corrector Stick in Green, £1.99
I spotted this product online and wanted to make it one of the latest additions to my makeup collection. One of my most wanted products was a colour corrector palette to neutralize out the discolouration on my face. I saw this Natural Collection Colour Corrector Stick in Green in Boots for £1.99. The green colour is meant to counteract red and rosy tones on the skin. To use this, I use a concealer brush to apply it to red areas, such as blemishes, and blend it out. Then I apply my normal concealer over the green and the blemishes and red areas are covered a lot better. I really like this product because it hides the blemishes better than just with a concealer and it stays in place as well. So a definite essential product.
Have you tried any of these products? What do you think of them?

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

Image
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
