£20 Makeup Challenge!

I seen loads of videos on youtube of beauty guru's doing the £20 Makeup Challenge. And after reading Sharna's ( link ) post on the £20 Makeup Challenge, I thought It would be real fun to do it myself. Mixing it up abit from the regular reviews, hauls, favourites ect.ect.

So these are the products I choose...

Total = £19.18

MUA Pro BB Cream, Light £4 - It covers up imperfections really well, and leaves a dewy, sheer, finish. It lasts all day, the formula is quite thick. But looks fine once blended into the skin.

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer, Fair £4.19 - Easily the best concealer I've ever tried! The formula is also thick, but its really easy to blend. And leaves medium to full coverage. It lasts longer then the 16 hour promise, and doesn't crease.

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Powder, Fair £2.99 - Sets liquid makeup really well, and doesn't make you look too powdery leaving a natural, Matt finish. It doesn't really last 16 hours, I would say more 4-5 hours.

MUA Pro Eye Primer, £2.50 - I've reviewed this in the past due to its amazing quality! It keeps eyeshadow and eyeliner in place all day, and the eye makeup doesn't fade away or crease either. For the price its a shocker, which i will continue to repurchase!

MUA Mascara, Shade 5 £1 - Lengthens, separates and adds a black coat of mascara to your lashes. As well as adding minimum volume perfect for the everyday look. Does flake slightly, but for the price its perfect!

MUA Pro 3 in 1 Contour Eye Pen, Sage £1.50 - As some of you may know, I'm a sucker for bright eye shades like green, blue and purple. This eye pen is a bright green shade, it lasts all day over eye shadow primer. It doesn't crease or fade away and you get a fair amount for the price.

MUA Intense Colour Eye Pencil, Snow White £1 - I cannot live without this eyeliner! I use it everyday on my waterline, it glides on creamy and pigmented. It lasts all day, and doesn't smudge, fade or crease.

MUA Love Heart's Range Lip Balm, Great Lips £2 - Whenever I go for bright eyes, I tend to add a hint of lip balm. Usually a nude colour. This is my go to lip balm! Its a nude/peachy colour, which is extremely moisturising and lasts about 2 hours. Its smells divine! Like a sweet, vanilla sent which I love!

Review: MUA Professional 3 in 1 Contour Eye Pen's!

If your a regular reader of my blog, you will noticed I've given it a makeover. Let me know what you think of it in the comments section below...

Let's set things straight, even though in my monthly favourites I feature pretty much neutral eye shadows and eyeliner. I'm going to be honest, I'm bold eye lover at heart! MUA Pro 3 in 1 Contour Eye Pen's can be purchased from any Superdrug that sells the MUA Pro range or MUA's website, with an amazing price tag of only £1.50.  And I've got two of these babies in Sage and Gunmetal. 

No sharpening needed, you just twist up the black bit at the top of the pen to reveal the product!

Left To Right: Gunmetal, Sage.

MUA Say's: 

"Create the look with this fantastic 3 in1 Contour Eye Pen. The angles of the nib allows you to create different looks whatever your occasion. Add drama by creating big and bold eyes, go glamorous for a soft and sulty effect, or define eyes for an ultra chic finish."

I've only recently started getting into wearing eyeliner again, and these are a easy go to! They glide on super pigmented onto the lid, within a few swipes they build up to fully opaque. The formula is very creamy and soft, almost butter like. I found these lasted pretty much all day on my upper lid and lower lash line, however I'm not certain on the waterline.

I really like the packaging! I especially like how you don't need to sharpen them, as I can be quite lazy when it comes to sharpening eyeliner. I think the matte black packaging, may not look exactly high end, but it certainly doesn't look cheap. My only problem being with these eyeliners is that it doesn't say the shade name on the packaging, so you would have to take the lid off and twist the product up to see what shade it was.

Overall I would highly recommend these eye pens! They're great for popping into your bag and for travelling, the nib allows you to create numerous looks so there's no need to carry around 3 different eyeliners with you. For pigmentation and lasting power you certainly can't complain! For the price these are fantastic, and I think I'll definitely be picking up another on my next travel to Superdrug.
