MUA Cosmetics Spring Break Palette Review

Finally I have my hands on the newest MUA Palette; Spring Break. I love MUA Palettes because they are so affordable at £4, contain 12 super-impressive shades and in general look amazing. I've been hunting for this since it was released and none of the Superdrug stores in my local area had this in stock until now so naturally, I grabbed it as fast as I could.
 'Leap into Spring with this wearable, combination colour palette. The mix of stunning shimmers in neutrals, pinks and soft green hues encapsulates the revitalised colours of the new year and are perfect for creating a fresh, enhancing look'. - MUA Cosmetics.
Once again, this palette has been designed in their classic black palette and contains the most gorgeous 12 shades, perfect for Spring. There are a lot of neutral colours with splashes of brighter colours like that pretty purple in the bottom right corner and that amazingly beautiful minty-teal shade on the bottom row.
The consistencies of these colours, and of the newer MUA palettes have been developed so much nicer than the original MUA palettes and I feel like they have nicer colour payoff.
 
On the top row from left to right the shades are:
Refine, Cherub, Amber, Spearmint, Posy and Sorrel
On the bottom row from left to right the shades are:
Aurora, Bronze Blush, Catacomb, Sea Foam, Gold Khaki and Damson
Refine – A pink toned, matte neutral
Cherub – A soft, pearl pastel pink
Amber – A beautiful, pigment packed rose gold shimmer
Spearmint – A silver toned, pearl neutral with a hint of mint
Posy – A floral pink pearl shadow
Sorrel – A deep mauve shimmer
Aurora – A beautiful off-white pearl, perfect for highlighting
Bronze Blush – A rose toned bronze shimmer
Catacomb – A soft gold toned pearl shade
Sea Foam – A pearl pastel turquoise trend shade
Gold Khaki – Exactly what it says on the tin
Damson – A pigment packed pearl finish plum
As you can see by the swatches, the colours are absolutely gorgeous, packed full of shimmer and have excellent pigmentation. Some of the neutral shades will suit every skin tone and there is an optional colour splash to compliment your own eye colour, for example Gold Khaki for brown eyes, Damson for green eyes and Sea Foam or Posy for blue eyes. The formula of the shadows are so buttery and creamy and aren't blotchy at all.
 
 Application was really easy and they definitely stand out and blend really easily. The palette also comes with the dual-ended sponge applicator which is pretty much useless for application and I never use these anyway from any palette.
 
Overall, this is definitely going to be an essential Spring palette for me, I love it so much, especially the shades Damson, Sea Foam and Posy.
 
Have you tried this palette? What are your favourite shades?

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
