MUA Eye Shadow Shade 19 - Matte | Review

Hello lovelies,

It's review time and I'm reviewing this lovely eye shadow, I got it a couple days before I started college and have been using daily until recently as I'm trying to experiment with more colour.

I don't usually like buying single eye shadows as with palettes there's a number of colours for you to create a look with. However, I couldn't resist and ending up buying it because I loved the shade and the fact that it was matte.
I have hooded eyelids so matte eye shadows are best when doing crease work as shimmery/pearl eye shadows emphasise that I have hooded eyelids.

I mainly use this eye shadow for the crease which I use my blending brush to blend in, It's quite pigmented and lasts long with a primer, I tried it without a primer and it creased halfway through the day as I have oily skin so since I've always used a primer and it's always lasted the day.

I'm quite happy with this product and at £1 you can't really go wrong, it's definitely great to have if you want that everyday, neutral look. I'd recommend it!

Let me know if you've tried it or any other mono eye shadows from MUA!
Thanks for reading lovelies

A/W Red Lip Combo

LA Colors Matte Lipstick - Berry Ice

MUA Lipliner - Brooding Plum

Hey everybody,

Apologies for being absent for a few days on here, college has taken over my life and the amount of work they're giving us is so depressing. As I'm in my 2nd year of college, thinking about uni, my portfolio and all that is making me so stressed so blogging's taken a backseat recently.

Anywho, I'm back to share with you my lip combos for a/w, the first one is my red lip combo.

I've been wearing it a lot this a/w and my bright red has been forgotten.

I usually where this combo with a simple neutral eye, very minimal make up because the lips are quite bold.

The lipliner keeps the lipstick on as opposed to wearing the lipstick by itself. I put the lipliner just on the edge of the lip with some vaseline first to moisturise the lips and then put the lipstick on top. 

Even when it started to rub off, my lips are still quite stained so it's not as noticeable, getting it off is not a problem, my L'Oreal micellar water does the job!

What are your favourite lip combos? 

Stayed tuned for tomorrow's lip combo, thanks for reading

July Lust List '13



Camel Shorter Brim Beanie - Topshop

Monochrome Polka Dot Slim Leg Trousers - New Look

Curb Bow Collar - Miss Selfridge

Parisian Black Floral Print Pinafore Playsuit - New Look

Mint Lace Trim Ankle Socks - Topshop

Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick Shade 107

Hey hey!

July is my birthday month and producing this lust list was so hard because there was so much stuff I'd been lusting over to get for my birthday.
Some stuff I've already purchased e.g frilly socks but I thought I would add it anyway.

I've been wanting a bunch of beanies for the longest time but I always wear my hair up so it seems pointless to buy so many but this A/W, I'm going to change up my hair and give it a bit of a break and that's where the beanies come in handy. I guess...

Printed trousers. It's taken me forever to like really like a pair of printed trousers but the polka dot pair from New Look really appealed to me whilst I was on the site.

If you've been reading my blog from more or less the beginning, you'd know that I love bows (my header had a bit fat bow in it), when I saw this necklace I fell in love almost immediately, doesn't it look so beautiful?
The pinafore playsuit was something I saw in the New Look store but I ended up getting the black pinafore, when I saw it in the sale, I loved it even more. It's very summery, even though my aim is to buy stuff I can wear throughout winter too,  I'd probably wear it during winter anyway haha

I love frilly socks. The way I've seen different fashionistas styling them lately makes me want to have a frilly socks collection. I think frilly socks are a hit or miss but with the right styling skills they could look amazing!

Recently, I've been thinking a lot about A/W because I feel like summer is going to be over soon, so a dark lipstick has been on my mind, either a dark purple or red or both is needed...umm right now.

What have you lovely people been lusting over during July?
Hope you're all well and thanks for reading!
