Colourful Party Eyes With 88 Palette

This is a look that was requested. I had great fun doing it:) I hope you enjoy it xx

FOTD With Superdrug MUA Makeup

Today I have done a purple look using the new MUA makeup range from Superdrug. This is available at larger branches of Superdrug and also at http://www.superdrug.com/ Each item costs just £1 so it's easy to try out lots of items from this range.

Here is what I'm wearing:

Face
Nars Sheer Glow
MUA Bronzer Shade 1
MUA Blusher Shade 1

Eyes
Nars Sheer Glow as base
MUA Eyeshadow Shade 4 pearl on outer half of lid
MUA Eyeshadow Shade 16 Matte on inner half of lid
MUA Eyeshdadow Shade 2 Pearl as a highlight
MUA Mascara in Shade 5

Lips
MUA Lipstick in Shade 9

My initial thoughts on this range are that it is good for the price. The eyeshadows and blusher are slightly powdery and can give you a lot of fallout. The pigmentation of the shadows I tried wasn't brilliant. Certainly not on a par with other cheap shadows like the 88 palette, but they do make for an easy to create, everyday wearable makeup. If you are looking for more pigmentation then these are not for you.

ITEMS NOT TO BE MISSED

from this range are the nail polishes and some of the lipsticks. The nail polishes have great pigmentation and apply really easily and smoothly. I have a YT video on these which will be posted over the next few days. The lipstick I am wearing in this look is awesome. Great colour payoff and very moisturising.

MY ADVICE

would be to try this range in the shop before you buy. If you're like me and don't have a larger branch of Superdrug close by then check out other peoples blog reviews and YT videos before purchasing. Although at a £1 a pop it won't really matter if they aren't that great. At the end of the day we can't really expect miracles for £1

Have you tried anything from this range? What are your faves?

New Do.....

.....or at least a similar haicut to what I had before. I was in desperate need of a trim. My regular hairdresser is on maternity leave and I've been putting off going to someone else. I am pleased to report that I love my cut!!



I am growing my highlights out. It's official:) It's an expensive habit to get into and now that I have got back into regular swimming I think it's too much money to be ruined by chlorine. I may have a dabble in home dying which I have never done before!!

I'm off to see Metallica in concert tonight. I have been looking forward to this for ages and am so happy it's finally here!

I hope you are all well xx

NOTD China Glaze Touch Of Glamour Nail Polish

The current nail polish that I am sporting is China Glaze Touch Of Glamour Nail Polish. It's a very pretty pale gold colour, another one that is perfect for every day wear. It's perfectly understated but makes your nails look well cared for. I think it would look even better on tanned skin or on darker skin tones. A perfect colour for summer!!

China Glaze is my new obsession;) What's yours?

Scary and Cute

A few weeks ago my local pet shop had face painting and baloon modelling to mark the reopening of the refurbished store. I think the girl who did the face painting is probably the best I have ever seen. My son got a scary monster:



and my daughter got a cute bunny rabbit:)




I passed up the offer to have mine painted lol

Prize Draw Winner

Sorry this has taken me a while to do. It's not like it was difficult, I only had 4 people who entered, I just didn't have the time until now:)

Altogether I had 4 people entering. 1 person blogged and tweeted about it and therefore got 3 entries and 1 person tweeted about it for 2 entries. This afternoon I wrote the entries out, folded them up and got my daughter to draw the winner from my hand:)

So without further ado the winner is nicolacc2008:)

You can just about make out my writing on this piece of paper.

Well done to Nicola and thanks to everyone who entered.
