MUA Cosmetics Luxe Whipped Velvet Blush and Lip Gloss Review

The latest product release from MUA Cosmetics is the MUA Luxe Whipped Velvet Blush and Lip Glosses. There are 5 shades available of each product and I picked up a blush and two lip glosses for £3 in Superdrug. 
These light and airy products have been launched into their 'SS15 Collection' for Spring and Summer. There are 5 shades to chose from and there are a nice range of colours so there is definitely something to suit every skin tone. Each shade corresponds between the two products, for example, a blush and a lip gloss share the same colour and the same name.
This Whipped Velvet Blush shade is called Rococo and this is a beautiful candy pink tone. This is contained in a small pot which has a screw-on lid and there is a nice amount of product for the price of it. The packaging describes the product as 'smooth and soft' and it 'glides on over cheeks for light and instant colour' which I have to say I agree with.
The formula of the blush is so soft and creamy, you can definitely tell it has that 'whipped' consistency. As for the pigmentation, this shade in particular is quite sheer and it does have a light wash of colour. It glides on the cheeks so easily and blends out effortlessly. You can easily build up the intensity of the colour and I am loving this shade for when Spring comes because it has that light-pastel hue.
I chose two shades of the lip glosses available; Hedonic, which is the lighter pink, and Ritzy which is the brighter hot pink.
These formulas both have the same 'whipped' consistency and they are so smooth formulas as well. The pigmentation is OK, but it took a few layers to build up that intensity. On their website, the description of the product says that this is an 'ultra soft and subtle pop of colour'. One layer of the product is quite subtle but you can keep adding until it gets more vivid.
The applicators of the lip gloss are precise so the product can be applied easily and effortlessly.


The only thing I don't like about these lip glosses is that I can feel the texture of them on my lips when I roll them together which I hate. They are weightless formulas and are comfortable to wear, and also they are very creamy on the lips which is a good thing. These are better layered on a lipstick colour rather than wearing them on their own as well, which is something to take into consideration.
 
The name of the shades in the Collection are Rococo, Hedonic, Chichi, Ritzy and Spry.
 
What are your thoughts on the new MUA Luxe Whipped Velvet Collection?

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
