Gift Guide: Makeup Revolution 144 Eyeshadow Palette

Today's Gift Idea is the Makeup Revolution 144 Eye Shadow Palette 2016 Collection, £10 in Superdrug. I was really excited when I saw this, MUR released one last year for Christmas which I was excited to get and this year, this one has different shades which is great.
 The palette is packaged in a box with a cut out on the front so you can see the palette and I think that the presentation is really nice.
This huge palette has a transparent lid so you can see the shades through the top and it is a plastic case which is slightly on the weak side, for £10 I think the case should be a bit stronger but other than that the packaging is good.
There is a vast range of shades including neutral browns and highlight shades, some greys and blacks, a few red-toned, pink, purple, green and blue. There is a mixture of matte, shimmer and satin shades. Also in the palette is a small mirror and two sponge tip applicators.  
I just swatched a few shades and the pigmentation is really good, they are soft and blendable eyeshadows with nice vibrancy.
This is a comparison of the 2016 palette (left) and the one from 2015 and the new one has a lot more wearable shades which are a bit more on the neutral side.
I think this would make a great gift for any makeup beginner, amateur or even an aspiring makeup artist, you have loads of complimentary shades that you can work with and I would have loved a huge palette with these quality eye shadows when I was first becoming serious about being a makeup artist.

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
