Ps Love.. Primark Make Up (First Impressions)

Hey guys, 

Just a little post on some of the new make up products, that Primark has brought out. I have done a review on some of the old make up products had around a year or so ago.

But going by what I have seen on Youtube and instagram, ect, Primark have revamped their make up and held an event, that bloggers ect got some products. I'm obviously like one of the sheep and went to check it out myself. My closest Primark, took an absolute age to get them in though and still don't have the Eyeshadow palettes, which I really want to try. Get it sorted Primark, Edinburgh need the eye shadows. 

So instead, I have went for the following items, I picked up an extra eyebrow pencil in light (£1), felt eye liner (£1.50), Kohl eye liner (£1.50) and the volume boost mascara (£1). So I got a bunch of cosmetics for £5. I could have got some of the lipglosses and lipsticks available, but I picked up a lipstick when I first seen them in and I wasn't too impressed.

I have swatched both eyeliners on my hand and the felt tip liner is still as pigmented as it was when I first applied it on my hand. The kohl liner isn't as pigmented but still there. I haven't tried the mascara yet but I have high hopes for it. 

The packaging is very sleek, with matte black and gold accents. It does look very nice, I hope the products are as  good as the packaging. 

Have you guys tried any of the new Primark cosmetics? Do you like them? Leave me a comment. 

Bye Guys

Glitter Liners

Hey Guys, 

I was going to wait until I done a few themed weeks, one being all about the eyes. But I have decided that it just could not wait. 

As a girl, I can be prone to be a bit of a magpie when it comes to glitter, so when I found out that Collection had a line of glitter eye liner I had to check them out. Although I do remember when they first came out a while back, they released only a few colours. Now they have a lot of colours, near enough 10 shades I think. 
So whilst out a couple of days ago, I decided to pick one up, as I had watched a youtube video, where they are being duped for the Urban Decay heavy metal glitter liners. 
As I have a few really old Urban Decay liners, I thought I would do a little review on both of them and I also found a 17, starry eyes glitter liner. 


The Urban Decay, Heavy Metal liner £13-£14 get them here

I got these in a set of 3 quite a while back for Christmas, although I can only find 2 of them. I have Baked which is a bronze glitter and Stage Dive which is a lovely green colour. These dry quickly and I used to love putting these on top of a black eyeline to give a cat eye look extra ooomph. As these have a clear base to them, they can go on anything really. They do have a gorgeous range of colours, everything from pinks and purples to golds and silvers. 

 

The Collection Glam Crystals are around £2.98-£2.99 buy here
There are around 10-12 shades in this line, I found that Asdas instore had a lot more shades than anywhere else. I have the shade Va va voom, which is a pink, green and it has a hint of gold and silver in a clear base. This looks amazing with a cat eye, this is by far my favourite shade. It dries quickly and stays put. The shades range again from pinks and purples to mixed colours and silvers, golds. 




The 17 Starry Eyes, you get these from Boots. 
 I can't find a link to these, but I know I only got it last year, so they should still be instore. I got mine on an offer with my boots advantage card. This seems to have a dark base and a dark silver/gray glitter. I love this for when I want full on sparkle, I also love that I don't need to put on a normal eyeliner first. 

These are only 3 of the many glitter eyeliners out there on the market. These are amazing to add just that extra bit of sparkle to any look. I would recommend the collection one, as they are so inexpensive and they do last a long time. So you should all go and try them, I'm not sure if they are anything like the Urban Decay ones, since my UD ones are a bit too old for me to say they are dupes or not. 

Have you got any glitter liner favourites, leave a comment to let me know which ones.

Until next time

MUA Rave

So for a while now, I have been becoming slightly more and more obsessed with make up by the cheap and cheerful brand MUA.

I know most people have probably heard about at least one product by MUA in the recent months. If not, where have you been???

I must admit my collection on MUA products does not reflect my love for the brand, as I have a slight limited budget recently, I haven't been able to buy everything I'm lusting after.

Although recently I have bought a couple of their single eye shadows in a couple of colours I would never normally buy, but I have a look in my head that I want to do a look on and make a further blog on it.

But i also have their very affordable gel eyeliners. I have them in black and grey, I absolutely love these, I'm a sucker for eyeliner and always trying the new ones on the high street stores. I also have the undressed palette, which I use pretty much everyday. Best £4 i have ever spent on make up. I have also recently picked up one of the new cream blushes and one of the normal £1 blushes but in one of the newer colours. 

Also another one of my favourites from this brand is their £2 extreme volume mascara I got a while ago, which is insanely amazing on my lashes and it doesn't blow the bank balance. One of the first products I ever got from MUA, along with my matte foundation I got for £2. The matte foundation gives a medium to high coverage and its buildable!! It goes on nice and creamy and blends in beautifully.

Another must have product from MUA for me is their £1 lipsticks that come in various colours of red, pink, nude and orange. The lipstick iself is a nice consisency and its creamy enough to go on smooth and it lasts a long time. Good quality for only £1. I'm a sucker for shade 3, thats a hot pink colour, I think it has a hint of blue undertones in it. But it suits my pale skin. Easy for a pop of colour, also amazing, if you just want to try a new colour of lip. The ones im lusting after is shade 1, shade 8, shade 10 and shade 13, these are the shades I most want for this current autumn season. They also have just recently brought out some lovely lip liners in red and pink tones.

A few of my most wanted items from MUA are the nail constellations in Leo, Libra and Scorpio (a nice christmassy blend of colours). The nail constellations are a high street and more affordable take on the Ciate Caviar Manicure, which i have never had as the price of it is insane for me. The MUA ones are a purse friendly £3, but the slight drawback is that you don't get a matching nail polish with it in a set, but you can always get an MUA nail varnish for £1 which is still a lot less than the Ciate version. 

from l-r gemini, leo, pieces, scorpio and Libra

Another of my wishlist items are the mega volume mascara and the brow kit. Both of which I have seen getting some amazing reviews. I can not wait till i can have a splurge in MUA, hopefully soon, as they keep bringing out more products every month and I seem to want to try all of them. 

The one thing I think would be amazing if they brought out, is a range of makeup brushes. One can hope that these are maybe in the pipeline.

You can buy the normal £1 products in most superdrugs, which normally include, some eyeshadows, lipsticks, eyeliners and some blush and face powder. Or if you go to the larger superdrugs, you can normally find a larger selection, but not always!! Or if you have no superdrugs near you, you can browse the whole range online (MUA store) They also ship internationally and if you like them on facebook (MUAmakeupacademy) and we get to 35k likes there will be a offer for cheaper make up or free delivery, also follow them on twitter for up to date updates on make and lots of fun things (muacosmetics)

Thanks for reading guys

Bye
