Mini MUA haul & review.

Matte foundation ~ £2
Brow kit ~ £3.50
Eye primer ~ £2.50

On the MUA website and currently in stores, MUA are doing 3 for 2 on there products which is a absolute bargain considering how cheap the prices are anyway. I don't have a decent MUA counter near me so I thought i'd purchase a few things off there website, I brought a foundation, eye primer and a brow kit. 

Foundation: There are only 3 shades you can choose from which is a disappointment because the foundation is actually quite good. I have oily skin so the foundation doesn't last very long but neither do my other high street brands so It wasn't a shock. I chose the palest shade because its winter and im rather pale right now, I was lucky that this colour is pretty much a perfect match. I think that if your on a budget or are considering trying it them do, because you probably wont be disappointed, for £2 you cant go wrong.

Eye primer: I havent yet tried the eye primer out because I don't wear eye shadow often, but if anyone has tried it them comment below what you think!



Brow kit: I love this little brow kit, It comes with 3 different colours which should be perfect to mix and match to make your own eye brow colour and a gel that you can use after to keep them in place. I need to buy an angled brush to use it with because i find the small one hard to use but it'll do for the time being. Overall this is my favourite item and I would recommend this to my friends.

Again I apologise for the terrible photos, Ive got to wait till christmas for a new camera.

week in photos #1

me and my bestfriend for halloween / new dressing table / christmas next month woo / restoring my computer to factory settings / cosy fire / obsessed with nutella / casio watch and topshop bracelet / barry m nail varnish 

Its been a boring week but my highlight was dressing up as the 118 men with my bestfriend, I really suit a moustache & afro! My dad brought me the most beautiful dressing table ever which im in love with & its officially christmas next month, is anyone as excited as I am? My mum restored my computer to factory settings without telling me so I lost everything which brought a tear to my eye, Ive lost 4 years worth of photos & I cant find the memory stick which has some of the photos on them!:(

Its become freezing at night so I love getting cosy infront of the fire to keep me warm on these winter nights, Ive also re-discovered my love for nutella (if youve not tried it before go buy it please!) - Ive also been wearing my casio watch everyday  & painted my nail in ' barry m - colbalt blue ' which I love but wish was more vibrant!

Kate Moss' lipsticks




I popped into boots earlier to check out Kate Mosses new matte lipstick collection & I ended up buying these two colours, a pale nude pink for everyday use & I was very brave & brought a plum deep red colour, even though I was brave to buy it will I be brave enough to wear it? These lipsticks cost £5.49 each &I'm sorry the swatches aren't the best, but I recommend you go check out the new collection, she also has a nice red colour which I might go back & buy! Let me know if you've brought any of her new collection or think I should be brave enough to wear the dark colour...

blue my mind

BLUE NAILS


This H&M nail varnish in 'Blue my mind' may chip very easily but just look at the colour! Its a bright blue that brighten ups any outfit your wearing, I especially love wearing all black & just having this pop of colour on my nails. Maybe if I invest with a brilliant top coat it may make the polish last longer, if you have any recommendations please let me know, also if you know any other bright blues that are available on the high street please comment below:)
Thanks guys xo

TAG: 10 Little Secrets 

1- What is one product that makes you feel like a million dollars?
In all honesty I never really feel like a 'million dollars' but something that makes me feel the closest to that is a bright lipstick, for example number 19 from Kate Moss's lipstick collection is a pink/red/coral colour that smells wonderful and feels just lovely on the lips!

2- What is your skincare secret? / A passed down skin care tip?
I have terrible skin, its oily, very red and very spot prone. I have tried so many products to try and improve it but nothing works, so if you have any magical products that could help me feel free to tell me! One thing I love is a good exfoliator, but some are just to gentle on the areas I want more toughness on, so what I do is use a clean toothbrush (not one I brush my teeth with obviously) and scrub my nose and chin to help get rid of those pesky blackheads!

3- Share your hair care secret?
Its not really a secret but using as little heat as possible on your hair works to keep it looking healthy, and when you do use heat make sure you use a decent hair protectant spray.

4- What is your biggest diet rule?
My diet inst the best really, I don't eat healthy enough! Obviously a healthy diet means your skin and hair will be healthier to, even though I eat far to much junk I never drink fizzy drinks only ever water or squash. I don't really know how much you should drink a day but a litre or more is what I usually drink.

5- Any workout tips?
Oh dear, this is not really a subject I know alot of. The only exercise I do really is the 15 minute walk to school and back, Id like to exercise regularly and tone up but I'm far to lazy to travel to the gym or anything really...

6- Which perfume is your secret weapon?
My favourite perfume right now is Lady million by Paco Rabbane! I love it, at first I thought it was far to strong but the scent grew on me, I now love it and always get people telling me I smell nice which is always a plus.

7- Show us a clothing item of yours which always turns heads?
In all honesty, I don't have one. All my clothes are old and boring! I'm in desperate need of new ones but my pocket money just doesn't stretch that far:( 

8- What is your most treasured piece of jewellery?
None of my jewellery items have any personal meaning to me, but my grandads old casio watch that my mum gave to me when he passed away is sentimental, thats the only item I would really be devastated about if I lost it.

9- Who is your style crush?
I love so many peoples style, Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato always look amazing and many of the youtube gurus I watch have AMAZING fashion sense. For example Sammi from 'beautycrush' and Jess from 'sunbeamjess' who I would recommend you check out!

10- Tell us something we dont know about you?
Really you dont know anything about me at the moment, but something you wont know is what subjects Im studying at sixth form. Im doing Maths, Chemistry, English Lit and Media Studies. I started in september so have only been there for 6 weeks.
