Delightful Displays

Out shopping I came across some full nail polish and make up displays in Superdrug. There seem to be lots of new lines of pure glitter polishes around..

Eyeing up those love heart lip balms by MUA.

What lines have you come across that have caught your eye?

Shattered and purple shimmer

For today's eye shadow look I wanted to use two colours which are a deep and shimmery, I went for Shattered from Urban Decay and a deep plum from MUA. I applied a white base, then applied shattered on the inner corners and MUA's purple on the outer corner. This is what I ended up with: 

I really like this way this looks, purple and green seem to compliment each other well. I love the purple MUA shadow, for £1 an amazing colour and I recommend picking this up next time you go shopping. What colour combinations on your eyes are you wearing at the moment?

Purple and Frosted Almond eyes

I had not used the new deep plum MUA purple eyeshadow since swatching it along with the other two colours I bought from Superdrug recently, so with this in mind here is the look I came up with it.

I used the shimmery plum eyeshadow from MUA (£1 from Superdrug) and this lasted all day and didn't collect in my crease (the same cannot be said for the green I used from MUA!) I am impressed with this particular shadow, I like this a lot more than the green. I applied this colour to the outer corner and blended along the crease. I used Frosted Almond from my Frontcover to go book of shadows on the inner corner and blended the two colours where they meet in the middle. To finish I used Models Own big brush mascara.

Not a bad effort

So the other day I did a post on the new MUA eyeshadows I bought from Superdrug for £1. The swatches were lovely, such vibrant colours, but I hadn't actually tried them out on eyes. So with that in mind I wore the green eyeshadow to work to see how it lasted. This is what the eyeshadow looked like when it was first applied. (I also applied a purple eye liner from Gosh on the upper lash line and black mascara on the lashes)

The eyeshadow itself applied well and is well pigmented which I love! However, lets see how the £1 eyeshadow lasted. This picture was taken at the end of the day....

Hmmm, as you can see the shadow did not last all day (I did apply a primer under the shadow) which is a shame, but since I only paid £1 for the product I wasn't expecting the same lasting power as some of the more expensive brands. Overall I really like the shadow, towards the end of the day the product did gather in my crease but it I found it actually lasted well up until then.

What do you think? Have you ever tried MUA before?

£1 eyeshadow

Whilst browsing all the make up on offer in Superdrug near me I came across MUA - with a price tag of £1. Yes £1 for any item on the shelves. 
Now, I had seen this make up before, but never really gave it much thought or attention, but I thought, 'heck, I'll give it a go'. 
So I picked up three eyeshadows, one dark shimmery purple, a bright shimmery green and a lightish pastel purple.

This what they look like 

I love the deep plum shade and the bright green the most, I am yet to actually try them out on my eyes. I wonder how well they apply and how long they will last compared to some of the more expensive brands. I will test them out and post my findings here soon!
