Neon Candy Colour Compact

Hey everyone,

This won’t be a long blog as I have only recently purchased this colour compact – I will perhaps add it to my October favourites (if it’s any good) 😉

I didn’t plan on buying this compact/palette but it was available on 3 for 2 at Very, I had 2 items in my basket and needed a third to complete the offer so thought meh why not?!

Anyway onto the compact:

I love the colour of this compact. It’s such a pretty neon pink. The case is quite soft and spongy so would be ideal to pop into your handbag for touch ups. It’s only about an inch think as well so isn’t too bulky.

The compact opens like a book, on one side is a mirror and 40, that’s right, 40 eyeshadows!!! Wow!

The colours are varied, lots of cool neutral shades and plenty of warmer shades! I am not that adventurous when it comes to eyeshadow so doubt I will use all the pinks and greens but can’t wait to try the natural colours. Will try using over UD primer and see what the staying power is like vs wearing without primer.

The other side of the compact is blusher and lip colours. There are 20 different lip colours to choose from ranging from pink – red – brown. The colours are quite “in your face” so may work well under gloss depending on the type of look you prefer. I, myself, prefer a more natural lip with a hint of colour so will be mixing these with something rather that wearing them alone.

The blushes look really nice. All 12 of them!! They are all quite shimmery so if you prefer matte blusher/bronzer then these may not be for you. The 12 shades are all pretty natural, 2 of which may be ok for contouring depending on the tone/shade of your skin. I am also going to try some of these blushes as eyeshadow as the colours are so nice. A really nice natural look could be achieved with this compact.

You also get 2 eyeshadow applicators, 1 blusher brush and 2 lip stick applicators. Not sure on the quality of these brushes – in all honesty I probably won’t use them as I tend to stick to my favourite brushes 😊

Anyway, check out my October favourites blog in a few weeks to see if this makes the cut. I will do a full review on this and let you guys know if I would repurchase without the 3 for 2 offer. *this compact is £10 to buy* seems pretty reasonable to me!

My next blog will be my September favourites which I am soooooo late with!! Please check it out when you see it 😊

Thanks guys xxx

Budget Beauty…….

Hey guys,

So following on from my Friday Favourite’s blog where I spoke about MUA products I decided to go to Superdrug and add a few more bits to my collection hehe 🙂

I didn’t end up with much as shopping with a toddler in tow isn’t my idea of fun but I did manage to pick up another blusher and a few more lip products.

The blusher I bought is called “Candyfloss” and is a lovely pink colour.  The picture doesn’t do it much justice but like I said in my last MUA post it really is build-able and seems to last a good while.  I do spray my face with fixing spray when I have finished applying all my make up so whether that increases its lasting power I don’t know but I really like these blushes!

I also bought another Intense Kisses lip gloss which I love.  This one is called “Quick Kiss” and is a lot more noticeable on the lips compared to the other one I have called “Sealed with a Kiss” I wear Quick Kiss with a nude eye as with my skin tone it looks quite bold.

The final items I threw into my basket were the Sheer Finish Lip Glosses which if you read my other blog post you will know that I love.  The 2 colour’s I bought are “Cant Stop” and “Cute Talk” – both these colour’s are really natural and pretty and I just love the feel of this gloss on my lips.  Makes them feel super smooth and just finishes the over all look.  LOVE LOVE LOVE all these products and I intend on buying the full collection soon!!

The total cost for these 4 products was £5.00 :-)))

I don’t think you can go wrong at that price – where else can you buy a decent blusher for £1.00……..get yourself to Superdrug and try them for yourself 🙂

Friday Favourites

Hi guys, thought I would blog about some of my favourite drugstore products. I have chosen to write about a few MUA products that I have been trying for the last couple of months. These products have quickly become my go to products that I use daily for work. What’s great about them is that they come with a very cheap price tag as well as being decent products.

The first items that I purchased were 2 blushes in the colours Bon Bon & Cupcake, at £1.00 each I thought I would be mad not to give them a try.

Bon Bon is the darker of the 2 shades and is very buildable – a little goes a long way. Cupcake is a pinky coral colour which I love when I am tanned. It adds just enough colour to my cheeks to give me a nice complexion. Only thing I have noticed with these 2 is that I need to reapply during the day but for £1.00 each I really don’t mind having to do that.

The next items I bought were all lip products:- MUA Intense Kisses in the shade Sealed with a Kiss £2.00

MUA Sheer Finish Lipgloss in the shade Too Much Fun £1.00

MUA Intense Colour Lip Liner in the shade Softly Lined £1.00

i have to say I love all these lip products. Sealed with a kiss is a lovely soft gloss and I find the colour lasts really well, I tend to reapply this product every couple of hours. It’s not sticky or gloopy at all – well worth the money! I intend to buy the other colours when they are in stock.

Too Much Fun is a nice fun colour for during the day. I wouldn’t use this product at night as it’s staying power isn’t great. I also find the applicator a bit tricky to obtain good coverage but for it’s price tag I am quite happy with this product.

Finally the lip liner is a pretty pink nude colour which is great for during the day. Again the staying power isn’t fantastic but if you are happy to reapply during the course of the day then it’s pretty faultless in my option!

Overall the MUA products that I have tried are a real bargain and I will be building up my collection on my next visit to Superdrug! The 5 products cost me a total of £6 which I think is FAB!

Give them a try – big thumbs up from me!!

Thanks for reading guys! Xxx
