Nude Dude

Here's the part where I say 'I made an exception and bought another nude eye shadow palette.' Well, honestly, this is so worth it; one of the best £30 I have spent on a palette! The Superdrug in the town where I work had a revamp in the makeup aisle and introduced several new brands including The Balm and I picked up their 'Nude Dude' palette as a bit of an impulse buy and I am so glad I did.
The Nude Dude Palette, £29.99, contains 12 super gorgeous nude eyeshadow shades with a quirky and slightly naughty theme. The actual palette is packaged inside a sleeve with the same design on and on the back is a little guide of the shades and the names of each colour.  
 The palette is a sleek compact style with a built in mirror and is very lightweight. The first thing you notice is the 'nude' theme continues with the cheeky, but innocent, semi-nude characters in the palette with two eye shadows covering their modesty which I think is hilarious and everyone I have showed it to agrees so it really is a fun palette.
 There is a combination of matte, satin and shimmery shadows ranging from the palest highlighting colours into nude transitional shades and into darker contour and smoky colours. I love every single shade and I love the fact that there is a contrast between each shade so it is more varied and not too similar.
 Also included in the palette is a mini duo ended shadow and eyeliner brush.
 The swatches from this palette show that each shade has a really high level of pigmentation and opacity. They are amazing quality, super soft to touch and super blendable.
On the top row, the shades are: Fearless, Flawless, Firm, Flirty, Friendly, Fierce and on the bottom row the shades are Fabulous, Faithful, Fit, Feisty, Funny and Fine. You can see the sparkle in the shimmer shades and the other shades are definitely matte. None of these long-lasting shadows are crumbly and there isn't any fallout during application.
Overall, I am in LOVE with this palette, I am so glad I picked it up. It is so much better than any nude palette I have and I love using this on other people because it is just an incredible professional quality. With almost a £30 price tag, I believe it is worth every single penny and I can definitely say that I will be getting so much use out of this.

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
