MUA Cosmetics Sweet Sheen Lip Balm Review

One of the newest product launches into the MUA Cosmetics SS15 Collection are these essential Sweet Sheen Lip Balms, £2 each in Superdrug. They have 6 shades, I believe, of these lip balms and I chose two shades of pink.
 
'MUA’s sweet sheen is a soft balm that moisturises whilst also adding a subtle shimmer of colour to your lips!' - MUA Cosmetics
 There are 6 shades available with shades that will suit every skin tone and are super affordable. They have smooth and buttery consistencies which feel weightless on the lips and apply effortlessly. The tips of these lip balms are flat and precise allowing for complete control during application. The shades I got are Pink Lilly and Cherry Bomb and as you can see by the swatches, they are quite sheer so they are perfect for wearing during the summer days.
 Cherry Bomb is a pinky-red shade which my eyes were immediately drawn to. I love shades like this so chose to get this one. The colour payoff is actually quite good considering that these are sheer lip balms. This is a great wearable daytime colour.
 
 
 Pink Lilly is a light baby pink shade which is a bit too light for my skin tone but I think paired with a darker lip gloss it will be more effective.
 
 
They effectively condition the lips, leaving them feeling moisturised while adding the perfect amount of colour for Spring and Summer, but I'm not sure that these contain SPF so having an SPF Lip Balm underneath them will be essential during the warmer weather.
 
Overall, I think these are great essential products for Springtime going into Summer, but I don't think I will be purchasing more shades, simply because of the lack of SPF and I already have products in my collection that do all that type of stuff, but I do really like these ones.
 
What do you think of MUA's Sweet Sheen Lip Balms?

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
