Review: MUA Pro Going For Gold Eye Palette!

This is easily my favourite palette by MUA.... Yet! To celebrate the Olympics MUA introduced a limited edition eyeshadow palette. The same as the other palettes, this costs £4 from Superdrug or you can purchase it from the MUA website here. At the moment it's on offer, with a £1 off.

Unlike the other MUA palettes, this one has square pans and only 10 shades, unlike the usual 12 circle pans.

 First Row, Shades 1-5

Second Row, Shades 6-10

Likewise all the other MUA Pro palettes, the pigmentation is fantastic, not something you would really expect from a £4 drugstore palette. The matte shades of the palette, are slightly less pigmented, yet they are still easily build able which I love! They are sooo creamy to swatch, apply and blend together with ease. This palette is mainly pearl based with the odd matte thrown into the mix, however the shimmer on some of the pearl shades is hard to believe. Shade 5 is a mix of yellow/orange/gold and is EXTREMELY shimmery. 

I can usually get a full day of wear out of these eye shadows alongside primer, without they crease slightly by the end of the day, but still remain their vibrant colour. Likewise the other palettes you get a little double ended sponge applicator, which I only ever use for Nail Art. The packaging of the palette is black plastic with a transparent lid, making the eye shadows within visible. 

Overall I would definitely recommend giving this palette a go! For £4 it's totally worth a try, especially if your a Gold lover like me. I love wearing Golds near the end of Summer into fall.

New MUA Products And Seche Vite Haul!

So yesterday I went to town again. I've been dieing to pick up some of the new MUA products, and I was in desperate need of a new top coat. As my Sally Hansen one had almost run out, and the formula had gone all bad. So this is what I got...

Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
That's right! I finally took the plunge and decided to purchase Seche Vite's famous Dry Fast top coat. If you follow me on Twitter, you would know a few months ago I was debating purchasing this one or another Sally Hansen. I'm so glad I decided on this. I used it about 30 minutes ago when I was painting my nails, so far I love it! It was £9 from Boots, which some might think is a tad to expensive for a top coat.

MUA Pro Going For Gold Eyeshadow Palette
In case you didn't know already, but you probably did, MUA have recently brought out two new eye palettes. Undressed and Going For Gold. I was torn between deciding which of the two to get first. When I couldn't find Undressed in Superdrug *Silently Crys* I thought I may swell get Going For Gold as I love gold shades with my green eyes. This was £4, likewise all the other palettes.

MUA Pro Every Lash Mascara
I'm a sucker for mascara, like I've mentioned before. I've tried every mascara in the MUA range, some of which I've loved but some not so much. So when they launched a new one, with a bendy wand, I just needed it. Stupidly enough I got the "waterproof black" one instead of just black. I wore it today, soon to be in a FOTD post, I love it! It was only £3.

Review: MUA Professional Eyeshadow Palette, Heaven and Earth

I know I've already reviewed a MUA palette before, but since this one was in my May favourites and I've been using it so much lately I thought I may swell do a review on it. Also I've been messing about with my lighting lately, let me know what you think of it the comments box.

The Heaven and Earth palette has got to be the most popular palette in the MUA range at the moment, in my opinion. Available from selected Superdrug stores , and the MUA website. The Heaven and Earth palette costs a small £4's! 

Now lets take a closer look at what holds within....

 

With light...

Without...

MUA Says:

"A beautiful collection of eyeshadows that will enhance your eyes to give the perfect natural look."

Swatches! 1st Row...

 

 

 2nd Row...

 

 

As I've mentioned thousands and thousands of times before MUA eyeshadows are absolute amazing quality, compared to higher end eyeshadow as well as other high street brands. The pigmentation is amazing, the eyeshadows are all pearl/shimmer but not overpowering shimmer. They blend out very easy, the formula itself is quite buttery and creamy. 

The lasting power is fantastic alongside primer, however primer isn't a necessity with these shadows. The packaging is like all other MUA pro palettes black plastic, sturdy, see through lid,  but does its job. It doesn't look high end, yet at the same time it doesn't look really cheap. It stands out from other palettes due to its see through lid making the eyeshadows easily visible. 

There is a great range of eyeshadows to choose from in the palette, from bronze to pale beige to dark browns. This palette has everything a neutral eye lover will need! If you like this palette, then you will love MUA's new eyeshadow palette, Undressed , which is yet to be launched in July. And is already set to be a Urban Decay Naked dupe, due to the shades and name. Here's a picture of the undressed palette...

Anyways, overall I would definitely recommend the Heaven and Earth palette to anyone! I wasn't a neutral eye lover at all before this palette, but now I love them! The quality is fantastic, which you cant complain about all at. You get what you pay for packaging wise, but it does its job. The Heaven and Earth Palette, and MUA's Glamour Days Palette are probably my most favourite in my collection. And I will definitely be purchasing the new Undressed palette in July.

Review: MUA Professional Eyeshadow Palette, Glamour Days!

Im back! Today I have a review of one of the amazing MUA eyeshadow palettes, which I'm sure most of you have heard of. But in case you haven't these palettes are available from Superdrug for £4's and MUA's online store for the same price. Today I'm going to be reviewing one of my favourite MUA palettes, Glamour Days.

Here's a closer look of the eyeshadow's inside....

The back of the palette....

It comes with a sponge applicator, but I prefer brushes

These are the swatches for the first row of eyeshadows....

The second row....

Like I said this is easily one of my favourite MUA palettes, the eyeshadows are amazingly pigmented for the small £4's you pay. The photos don't do them any justice! They are really easy to blend, and you get a more then fair amount in the pan. I think i might of got a faulty palette though, because you can tell from the swatches of the first row the 4th and 5th shade look extremely similar.

I love the range of eyeshadows in this palette, its the perfect range of neutrals, along with a pop of purples, blues and lilacs. Theres also the odd 2 matte eyeshadows crammed in the palette.  So its great if your travelling and want a everyday range of colours to choose from. These shadows last all day alongside primer, and don't fade at all. 

The packaging is black plastic, like wise most of the products in the MUA Pro range. It has a transparent lid, which is great if you have a draw full of eyeshadow palettes and your trying to find the right one. Its not the most stylish packaging but it does its job, and is easily recognisable as a MUA product. 

This palette is easily at the top of the list of my most used ones, and i highly recommend it if your looking for dupes of higher end eyeshadows. Which the eyeshadows from this brand easily compare to. MUA are also bringing out a new eyeshadow palette to which I'm super excited about, check their Twitter or Facebook page for more information on that.

Review: Coastal Scents 88 Ultra Shimmer Palette

I don't think I've reviewed any palettes yet on my blog, and since this is easily one of my favourites out of my whole collection I wanted it to be the first I review on my blog!

Most of you by now have probably heard of Coastal Scents before at some point? You can only buy their products online I think, but I got this palette of Ebay for a Easter Present and lets just say its A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!

The image is slightly blurry I no :(

When you open the palette theres a fairly sized mirror. Along with 2 sponge applicators either side of the mirror. I tend to use brushes though as there easier to use. These are good if you don't have any though or are just starting out in make up.

On the back the ingredients are listed, along with the Coastal Scents website at the bottom.

Okay now lets take a look at the actual eyeshadows themselves!

I took two photos of the eyeshadows to show you at different angles.

This palette has a great range of colours to choose from! Ranging from browns, to bold greens and blues, to purples and pinks this palette even has reds in it. Even though I will probably never wear a red eyeshadow, But I suppose you never know when it could come in handy!

These eyeshadows are actually extremely good quality! Even though each individual eyeshadow pan itself is only the size of a American dime, or as i read, I couldn't tell you that exactly as i don't have a dime. You still get a more then generous amount of eyeshadow overall as a whole palette.

So how pigmented are they?
See for yourselves!

Blurry...AGAIN :(

Also I won't swatch the whole palette as it would take to long, but if you want any specif swatches comment below on which ones and I will gladly do them for you!

These eyeshadows make the application of eyeshadow really easy and super speedy, they are really pigmented so the colour appears very bold/opaque within a few swipes with a brush. The formula is really easy to blend as well, and these eyeshadows definitely live up to the name of the palette. "Ultra Shimmer" they are definitely packed full of shimmer, not to much shimmer that there overwhelming. However if you don't like shimmer then these aren't for you.  The staying power is amazing, and i haven't actually got anything bad to say about this palette.

Thanks for Reading!:)

MUA Pro Eyeshadow Palette , Glamour Days - This month I've been really into using my MUA palettes as there so good quality and great for the price. As summer is just around the corner , i wanted a palette with a good range of "summery/spring" shades with a pop of colour , which were great for daytime. This palette has it all! Compact with 12 amazingly pigmented shades of great choice this palette is perfect for only £4 available from Superdrug and MUA's website.

MUA Eyeliner , Snow White - I love this eyeliner! I bought this for only £1 and its great quality and really pigmented. I only bought it to use on my waterline , as i read online that applying white eyeliner to your waterline makes your eyes/eyeshadow pop. It actually does! Once again this product is available from Superdrug and MUA's website

MUA Lipstick , Shade 4 - This is my favourite lipstick out of my full collection at the moment! Its the perfect shade for spring and VERY moisturising. Its really pigmented , however it also gives a really glossy finish so you don't have to use a lipgloss. For only £1 from Superdrug and MUA's website this lipstick is great value. 

MUA Love Hearts Range Nail Polish , Love U 24/7 - I've been loving this shade this month! Its a great summer shade and very once applied. It took me 2 coats to get the colour fully opaque , and lasts about a week with a top coat. Only £2 from Selected Superdrugs and MUA's website.

Miss Sporty Mascara , Pump up Booster - OMG! This is like my go to mascara now i love it! It takes about 2 coats to get a natural looking affect and could be built up more if desired. I really love the affect it gives on my horrible spidery lashes the wand is really big , which i think helps the application. Only £3.99 from Supedrugs and Superdrugs website. 

Miss Sporty Blusher , Flirtatious - I quite like this blusher , i bought it when i ran out of my staple everyday blush. Which had a sheer natural finish, this however gives a more pink effect with shimmer. It lasts all day so its great value for the £3.09 i paid. From Superdrug and Superdrug On line. 

Barry M Lipgloss , Limited edition - This is my most favourite lip gloss ever! Its a baby pink colour , with natural looking glitter / shimmery. However the glitter appears very natural , which makes the lips sparkle in natural sunlight. I got this in the offer where you get a body impulse and a Barry m limited edition lip gloss for free. I wish this wasn't limited edition as I'm almost out and i love it! 

Barry M Nail Paint - Strawberry Ice cream - This a great nail colour which is really on trend with the season. I got this for £2.99 from Superdrug , and for the price i paid its great value for money. I usually apply 2-3 coats or so to make it opaque , however the formula is fast drying so its not that bad. Its a lovely baby pink colour which i love. You can buy this on line from the Barry M website too. 

Natural Collection Eyeshadow , Spring Green - I love this eyeshadow , its really pigmented for the small price i paid, £1.79 from Boots. Its one of my favourite eye shadows for spring time. Or you could buy 3 things for £5 from this brand at boots. Definitely think i will have to try more things from this brand.
