28 Days of MUA - Day 2
Hi Lovelies
I hope your weekend is going well?
Day 2 of My 28 Days of MUA is a MUA Love Hearts Collection Nail polish in Colour Love U 24/7.
sadly I did not like this polish, well, its actually the brush i didn't like. Its hard and kept splitting, a bristle pulled away and split down the brush shaft, TWICE! I had to get a tissue and pull them off so i could carry on painting my nails. Very Annoying. Apart from that the polish itself is really nice, a pretty Lavender colour that dries quickly and is opaque after 2-3 coats depending how thick you apply. I'm hoping the brush problem is a one off because I have another in my collection and I'm really not looking forward to using it!
Have you used the Love Heart Polish from MUA, what are your thoughts?

28 Days of MUA
Hi Lovelies
I have decided to post about a different MUA product everyday in February! Its not going to be a long post, they will be like a mini review with a pic or two. As a Lipstick and Nail Polish addict I'm hoping this will be fairly simple as there as a lot of colours to choose from as well as eye and face products.
In case you didn't already know - MUA is a cheap Drugstore Brand that is part of the company Superdrug. The quality of their products is high and the prices low, which, for obvious reasons has made this brand very popular!
So to start off with I have a pic of the MUA Lipstick in shade 14 Bare.
This is a dupe of the Gosh 134 Darling, I don't think its quite as thick as Darling but very creamy and well pigmented. It lasts well and doesn't dry out your lips.

January Favourites
Hi Lovelies,
Here are some of the products I have loved this Month. A few are items I regularly use from my make up bag and others that I have discovered in the past few weeks.
The BarryM Lip Lacquer Pencil in Cherry Red- A favourite of mine for evenings and weekends.
Gosh Velvet Touch Lipstick in Darling- recently discovered and I have worn it a lot this past 10 days or so.
Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse in Ivory- I have nearly finished this and will definitely buy again.
Boujois Volumizer Mascara in Black- I like this a lot. I use No 1 in the day and a coat of the 2nd brush for evenings.
MUA Pearl Eyeshadow Shade 13(it's a dark purple but shows up a charcoal colour on the picture)
Wellaflex Silvikrin Hairspray- A handbag must have!
Sally Hansen Gem Crush Bling-Tastic - My favourite glitter varnish ever!
Sleek Glo Bronze Baby- I always get asked what I'm wearing when I use this to highlight and bronze.
I'm not really a big fan of bronzer but I find the Sleek Glo gives a lovely natural Glow that I can also build for more of a bronze look should I ever feel like a bit of colour.
I'm now off to read all the January Fav posts on my Dashboard and watch a few Videos :)

Rimmel Apocalips Big Bang
Hi :)
Today I am reviewing the new Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer in the colour Big Bang.
I really wanted to love this product, as I LOVE the Kate Moss Lipstick range!
So when I saw Rimmel were listing them early, I ordered one off of the Rimmel Facebook page a few days before the official release.
When I opened my parcel and saw the design and how beautiful the colour looked, I was very excited. It's a vibrant high shine red, and when I applied it I was glad there wasn't much on the brush because a little really goes a long way!
I did notice a slight smell and it also smudged and left pink sticky marks around my mouth; I looked like I had just had a very passionate kiss!! :) When I tried to clean it off it took ages and still left me a bit pink looking around the mouth. Obviously not the look I was going for, especially if I accidentally smudged it whilst out shopping or at work etc...
I haven't tried any of the other colours in the Apocalips range so I cannot say that they would do the same. It may just be the fact it is so red that it is more noticeable when you accidentally smudge it. If you do buy this product be very carful not to smudge it unless you can wash your face and re-apply your make up!
Have you tried any of the Apocalips Lip Lacquers?

MUA Nail Constellation Gemini
Hello!
How are you enjoying the weekend? Mine was spent catching up with family and friends and making Snowmen :)
This is a review of the MUA Nail Constellation in Gemini.
I really enjoyed doing this, it is a very easy trend to do yourself in the comfort of your own home. It has instructions on a little card attached to the neck of the bottle. The beads pour through the narrow top and any overspill can be poured back into the bottle by removing the lid and turning it the other way up to use as a funnel. Amazing design!! All you need to do is pour out some beads into a little dish, then apply a nail polish to your nail and quickly dip your finger nail in the beads or pour over your nail straight from the bottle. Then repeat if applying to all your nails. I chose to do an accent nail with Nail polish on my other nails. Make sure you leave them to dry long enough so that the beads stay in place!
You can buy the Nail Constellations from MUA and Superdrug for £3 each. There are 5 colours available.
What are your thoughts on the MUA Nail Constellations?

Gosh Shocking Coral Velvet Touch Lipstick
Hello!
I made a cute little snow puppy this morning! I love the snow and couldn't resist running out into my garden first thing! :)
Today I am reviewing the Gosh Velvet Touch Lipstick in Shocking Coral. This is a favourite of mine, I am actually on my second and love to wear it any time of the year especially in the Summer. It's a definite holiday make up bag essential!
The lipstick I find quite thick and creamy but at the same time a little drying, so I always add a little w7 kiss me to my lips before applying. It stays on for a few hours before needing to be touched up. I have a pale complexion and this suits my skin tone and I am always complimented when I wear it. It also suits a tan/bronzed skin which is why this is a favourite of mine all year round.
This product is available from Superdrug for £6.49 and also on Ebay.
Let me know what your year round favourite lipstick is :)

Ciate Mistress Paint Pots
Hello!
Second Review of the day, The Ciate Paint Pots!
The Ciate Paint Pots come in the prettiest bottle. Its has curves, a long lid (which makes it easier, in my opinion to apply) and a little black bow!
The Colour Mistress really is a beautiful shade of red, the polish itself is smooth, not too runny or thick and after two coats the finish is perfect. It has a high shine and silky feel to the touch that kind of makes me want to sit and stroke my nails all day when I wear it! :) It is a definate favourite of mine and I use it a lot, even for nail art! Even better is that I had it free with a magazine! I will definately be purchasing a few colours to play with in the very near future!
So its great quality, looks beautiful, has a bow and it was free with a magazine. Perfect!
The Temp is going to drop quite low in the next few days in the UK so please dont forget Hand Cream and LipBalm/Chapstick! You dont want dry skin or chapped lips :)

BarryM Indigo Review
Hello!
How are you enjoying the snow if you have it where you are? I have to say I love the snow but we dont get much in the Midlands(UK).
Today I am reveiwing the BarryM Indigo NP312 :)
I used this product when testing the MUA Fur-Effect Nails yesterday. Its a beautiful colour, in the bottle it looks more of a Purply-Blue but when applied I think it is more towards Navy Blue than Purple. I am a fan of BarryM Nail Paints, as they are really good quality for how much they cost. You get 10ml for £2.95, it applies really well and you only need two coats for a perfect opaque finish. I dont use a Top Coat as I change my nail colour quite alot and it has a very shiny finish so I dont feel the need to use anything to prolong the wear or add shine. The brush is a decent length so you shouldn't have too much waste once you reach the end of a bottle. I usually find BarryM takes about 2 days to start chipping without a Top Coat (when doing a lot around the house, shopping and busy days) and days when I'm not doing much it can last 3-4. This is perfect for me because as I said I change them so much it really doesnt matter. I also love to paint the tip for a colour block effect rather than remove the whole colour. It saves time and can make them new again in less than 5 minutes.
BarryM is available from
www.barrym.com
www.superdrug.com
www.boots.com
And
Superdrug and Boots Stores.
Have a great day!

MUA Fur-Effect Nails
Hi :)
I finally tried the new Fur-Effect Nails in Fluffy Bobbin today. It's available online from MUA and Superdrug and some Superdrug Stores.
I found it quite hard to get the powder out but apart from that it was easy to use and apply.
Products Used
BarryM Indigo NP312
No.17 Nail Extras Clear Polish
Fur-Effects Fluffy Bobbin
Nail Art Brush
I applied the BarryM Indigo to my nails leaving one blank. Then with the Clear polish I painted a cross and quickly applied the Fluffy Bobbin powder with a nail art brush. Then I left it to dry a few minutes before blowing the extra powder off the nail.
If I'm honest I don't think I will ever use it on all my nails, only for nail art and fun designs, accent nails etc...
Definitely worth the purchase to add to my collection and a bargain at just £3!
