3ina Makeup Review

In a blog post last week I showed you a haul of what I had bought in London and briefly talked about a new makeup store called 3ina (which is pronounced like Mina) in Covent Garden. I was really excited about this shop and picked up a few things which I wanted to review for you.

I've been in search of the perfect highlighter for my holiday and I found this product called 'The Highlighter' in 201 which is a gold highlighter. I don't own a gold highlighter and I love wearing this colour especially on holiday with a tan as it just goes with anything.
It is packaged in a box and the actual case of the highlighter is a matte black case with a clasp that feels quite strong and sturdy.
The highlighter is a gold with a shimmer that is really pigmented, has a really nice soft texture and smooth consistency. It blends out really nicely without loosing a lot of pigmentation. On top of the cheekbones it catches the light really well and I also love to dot this on the inner corners of my eyes to make them stand out and to enhance my blue eyes.
I then picked up The Metallic Eye Shadow in 505.
The packaging is the same as the highlighter and this shade is a gorgeous rose pink shade with a hint of a sheen and a creamy consistency. Again, it blends out easily without loosing a lot of opacity and applies to the eyes really nicely.
The pigmentation is really good and has a high opacity level. There isn't any fallout either.
 This is The Pencil Eyeshadow and is basically a cream eye shadow stick in the shade 105 which is a stunning deep violet shade I fell in love with when I swatched it.
The tip is quite precise that works as either eye shadow or eyeliner.
The pigmentation is absolutely stunning, it shows up really vibrantly and also blends out too. I love this as an eyeliner because the colour makes my blue eyes pop and is a great way of swapping out the black eyeliner into a bolder colours.
Finally this is The Eye Shadow Brush.
I was drawn to this brush because of the shape of the bristles, it looks to be the perfect blending brush shape and because it is synthetic, it works with cream or powder shadows.
Have you tried anything from this store?

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

Image
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
