Maybelline Colour Drama Intense Velvet Lip Liner Review

I picked up one of these Colour Drama Velvet Lip Liners by Maybelline quite randomly, but I was so impressed with it I went back and got two more. These retail for £4.99 from Superdrug and Boots.

I have three different shades and I want to get more colours because I think they are so amazing! They are jumbo lip pencils and there is a huge colour selection available so they is definitely something to suit everyone. The pencils are quite short but are very comfortable to hold.
 They have lids to protect the pencil and at the end of the product there is a colour sample making it easy to see which shade it is because the rest of the packaging is black and quite minimalistic.
As you can see by these swatches, they are so gorgeously opaque and full of pigment. The consistencies of them are soft, creamy and glide onto the lips effortlessly without tugging or pulling them.
 This shade is called Red Essential and it is one of my favourite coloured reds. It is matte and is pretty much similar to MAC's Russian Red.
 
 This shade is called Keep it Classy which is a mid toned pink with a slight berry undertone and I like wearing this during the daytime.
 
 This last one is called Nude Perfection which is a very subtle salmon based shade and this pairs really well with a more dramatic eye.
 These lip pencils are very similar to lipsticks in the way that they wear and they are so versatile so you can either layer them under another lipstick or lip gloss or wear them just on their own as a vibrant layer of colour. I can't wait to buy more of these because I just love them, they are one of the products I reach for in my lipstick drawer(s!).
 
What is your favourite shade?

    I think Keep it Classy is my favourite of the three. Do you know if these are limited to the UK? They remind me a little of the more expensive NARS lip pencils. :-)

      Hi! I like Keep It Classy as well, it's a nice wearable berry colour. Maybelline are available in over 100 countries worldwide so they are not just limited to the UK. I hope you manage to find them and give them a try, they are great, affordable dupes for higher end brands :)

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
