Garnier Miracle Skin Cream | Colossal 'GO EXTREME!' Mascara | GOSH Brow Kit

With potentially the biggest photo opportunity of my life a week on Friday (My Graduation), my skin has of course decided to explode with spots and puffed out a little (maybe too much yummy food and sleepless nights in Spain me thinks?!) In an attempt to keep spots to a minimum and my skin looking a little more tight and youthful, today I'm keeping it basic. Instead of foundation, I am just wearing the new Garnier Miracle Skin cream (review blog post coming once I've tried it out for a bit longer) a lick of Maybelline 'The Colossal GO EXTREME! Volume Express' mascara (what a mouthful) and my go to GOSH Brow Kit to tame my brows slightly before I get them waxed a little before the big day. 

All products are available from Superdrug

Garnier Miracle Skin Cream | 50ml | £12.99

Colossal 'GO EXTREME!' Volume Mascara | 9.5ml | £6.99

GOSH Brow Kit | £8.49

The New Naked 'Basic' Pallet | Urban Decay

Hello All

I don't think I know one beauty geek that doesn't own at least one 'Naked' Pallet from Urban decay... they are staples in my beauty collection and do me from everyday make-up to a glam night out on the town. And Urban Decay, in true from with the name sake, have recently brought out a stripped back 'basic' Pallet for Christmas with six stunning shades

(source)

The pallet is made up of all matte shades, perfect for everyday wear. The pallet currently is retailing for $32 Canadian ( $5.33 per shadow) I think thats pretty decent value, especially when all the shadows are so wearable and Urban Decay shadows are of great quality!!

I think this would make a perfect Christmas gift to for friends and family who may not want to invest in one of the larger pallets and I think I may have to pick it up as a little Christmas gift for myself!! 

Have any of you seen this product in stores yet or given it a try??

Thats All for Now

P.s. is is currently retailing for £18 in Debenhams in the UK thats only £3 per shadow!!!!!!

Review | MUA Make-up Range Pt. 2

Hey Guys!!

Time for part 2 of my MUA range Make- up review!!

For thoughts on Eyeshadows and Pressed powder check out Pt. 1

Like the Eye Shadows, another consistent favourite of mine is the MUA lipsticks! The Colour range covers the basics (from deep red, Bright pinks and nudes-a-plenty!!) and the staying power and opacity is commendable... who knew that £1 Lipstick would be so good that I have found myself repurchasing several colours from the range! MUA should be very proud of this product and it does make you think the profit margin on some other lipsticks that are of similar quality and charge 5x as much?! This product gets a well deserved 4.5/5!!

The Next three Products I have tried from the range were a Blush, Mascara and Eyeliner.

The colour range for blushes I found a little childish, with lots of bright and baby pinks with heavy glitter content. One colour I did love was this Peachy pink colour. This is certainly a usable product but has to be blended well and you need to build up the product quite substantially to see it on the face! I also found the (compared to other products) the amount of product was less than hoped, especially when you need to use so much this product get a 2/5!!

The most disappointing product had to be the mascara, the wand was rather scratchy, my eyes often hurt a little at the lash line after application and the lashes had very little, to no curl to them. This Mascara does give them a decent amount of volume and MUA do have some fun colours to play with in the range that might be perfect for a fancy dress night out! This product gets 1/5!! 

And last but not least is the range of Intense colour liner pencils!! Good colour range, and a lovely creamy consistency when applied! The Pencil also comes with a sharpener in the lid...something that I LOVE!! This product is pretty much useless on the lower lash line as is melted away within an hour but lasted around 3hours on my upper lash line! This product is defiantly worth the £1... even if it it juts for emergencies in you bag or the sharpener that comes with it!! I would rate this product a 3/5!!

I Hope you enjoyed this review.... If any of you have tried some of the New MUA products I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions!!! 

Thats all for now
