MUA Artiste Collection Palette

Oo I love a bit of Make Up Academy Goodies!

I have quite a few palettes in my stash which i'm always changing up and recently rediscovered the MUA Artiste Palette.

In this palette, there are 6 colours which have a speckled/marbled effect which is quite interesting! I bought this a few months ago in Superdrug whilst it was on offer where you spend £6 or more on MUA products and you get this palette for free so I had to take advantage of it and after changing my make up storage, I rediscovered it!
The size of the palette is the same size as the other palettes but have rectangular pans instead of circular which means you get more product for £2 extra! All of the colours are well pigmented for the price of the palette and work really well on the eyes. The speckled/marbled doesn't come up on the eyes as seen in the swatch as well as I thought it would but that's not a biggie for me. I also like the colour range in this palette as there are some neutral colours alongside some colours I wouldn't use such as 'Ice' and 'Grape' (third and forth colours in) but I have worn them and blended them into a neutral smokey eye. I have to say 'Mocha', 'Chocolate' and 'Cookie' are my favourite colours out of the bunch and work well together.
The palette also comes with 2 blusher shades which a are pink with the colour on the left called 'Pink Sparkle' being a lighter colour. And if that wasn't enough, it also comes with a bronzer and highlighter! So you have everything you need in one palette which reduces the size of my make up bag right down. All the colours except the bronzer are shimmer which I personally love a shimmer in some colours.

Overall, I would recommend this product if you are looking for a multi-use palette with everything powder wise in.

Have you tired this palette and whats your opinion on it?

Oops I did it again, I spent money I didn't have..

Mm I love shopping! Recently I have been spending monies and bought a few things so I thought I would show you!

First up is boring and its the Cutex ultra cleansing nail polish remover. I bought this from Superdrug because I ran out of nail polish remover (obviously) and this was on offer to £1.50 odd or something like that so I thought I'd pick it up and it was in the 3 for 2 nails offer. This is weird but I love smelling my nails after I have taken my nail polish off because it doesn't leave that horrible alcoholy smell that a lot of nail polish removers leave. It has multifruit acid, green tea extract and vitamin E which gives my nails a fruity smell after I use it. It doesn't smell like that in the bottle but I have found after using it a few times that my nails don't feel as gritty and horrible like when I use other nail polish removers. 

Next is a few nail polishes from MUA (I say a few?!) Like I said, superdrug have had a 3 for 2 offer on all nail things in store so I went a bit mental with nail polishes. I really like the MUA nail polishes, they are cheap but are really good not like those nasty nail polishes you get. The colour range isn't too bad either even though I nearly have them all.. I have written a post about them which will be linked here.

Next I have more MUA products (I told you I like them) and these are there lipsticks in Nectar and Juicy. I'm not going to go into too much detail about them as I've done a post about nectar which will be linked here and a post mentioning juicy which will be linked here. Love these lipsticks, can't fault them. Can't wait to get more!

Moving away from superdrug, I made a order on Wednesday night on Fragrance Direct and my order came today.. I ordered standard delivery and they came within 2 days! Super quick! As I've mentioned may times, I am trying to get into wearing lipstick so I thought fragrance direct would be the best place as everything is reduced massively! I have wanted a nude lipstick for quite a while so I ordered 'Notting Hill Nude' by Rimmel which is a lovely nude colour and I really like this already as it's not a pale nude like some lipsticks are, it has a pink undertone to it which I really like and it was 99p. Bargain!

Again from fragrance direct I picked up some Maybelline Colour sensational lipsticks in the colours Citrus slice and Tropical pink. Now, I already have one in electric orange which I love so I thought I'd go for some more bright lipsticks. Little did I know after looking at them, they are from the 'popsticks' range which means they have no colour, they are more like a balm in a lipstick format. I am gutted! It didn't say on the website that they were the popsticks otherwise I wouldn't of gone for them. Anyway, they were only £1.99 each so it's not a big loss but at the same time, I am quite like them. The stick itself is like jelly, its see-through, its so cool! and they smell and taste amazing! I will do a review on these soon to explain more about them.

I also ordered a Essie Nail polish is 'Fear and Desire' which is a gorgeous orange for £1.99. I was debating on whether to go for the oh so raved about 'Bikini So Teeney' and 'Mint Candy Apple' but I decided to go for a orange colour because I don' have a orange nail polish. I have 1 Essie nail polish in Sugar Daddy which I got in a Glossybox however it is very sheer so I have to do a tonne of layers to get pale pink colour. I previously had a orange colour from Missguided but it smashed and I have been looking for a nice orange ever since. The colour of this is very bright. I think it would go perfectly with a plain black maxi alongside my orange lipstick by Maybelline in 'Electric Orange' with a glowing tan. Mmm.

Lastly I ordered a nail polish in 'Minted' by Revlon. I haven't got a Revlon nail polish so I thought I'd try one out and I really liked the look of this mint colour. I have a mint nail polish form Barry M but that one is getting a bit thick so it's hard to paint my nails so I picked this one up for £1.99 again from Fragrance Direct. 

Last but certainly not least, I picked up a top from Primark. Primark have there mid season sale on and I saw this top and I fell in love with it. It was originally £10 and was reduced to £5 and it has a gorgeous geometric type design on it and is quite thin and sheer but you could get away with not wearing a vest underneath it. The arm, bottom and neck bit and cuffed which I thought was really nice. I mainly bought it to wear for work with a black skater skirt but I would also wear it with a pair of light coloured denim jeans.

That's all I've bought recently.It won't be long for me to accumulate more things for a haul! Have you seen anything above which you like?

MUA Power Pouts

Hey Guys!

Now, I'm not a lip person as I have really dry lips which are flakey all the time and no matter what I do to my lips, they just don't get any better!
But when I saw that MUA were bringing tinted lip balms which are ''dupes'' for the clinique chubby sticks and revlon just bitten kissable balm stains, I was on that!

Broken Hearted, Irreplaceable and Justify - £3

I first bought irreplaceable which is a pink colour on the lips and I was indecisive on whether to buy it as I didn't want it to be another lip product to add to my collection which I didn't like but I dove in and bought and I'm glad I did! The application is really easy and it gives a tingling sensation on the lips and it has a hint of mint. The pigmentation of it isn't brilliant but I was expecting that as it's a tinted lip balm. I find it moisturizes my lips however I always wear a lip balm underneath. I was that pleased that I took advantage of superdrugs 3 for 2 offer about a month ago and bought broken hearted which is a deep pink colour and justify which is a  pinky coral colour. 

 Broken Hearted

 Justify (excuse the flakiness of my lips)

Irreplaceable

These usually last about 1-2 hours depending on how bad my lips are of which I don't mind because I like the tingling on the lips feeling.

These tinted balms are perfect for people who are not lipstick people (like me) and it moisturizes my lips and gives it a nice gloss of colour at the same time. The link for these are here.

Have you tried these? What did you think about these and what colour is your favourite?
