Mua Cosmetics Review


Mua Cosmetics

I’m so in love with my latest collection of makeup from MuaCosmetics, I’ve been really looking forward to trying out the new undress your skin range and I wasn’t disappointed!

Mua undress your skin range


Undress your skin range:
Undress your skin is the answer to a flawless, radiant complexion!  In this range you can get the Flawless PrimerIlluminating FoundationRadiant Undereye Concealer & Highlighting Powder. I have the foundation, primer and highlighter.

Undress Your Skin Illuminating Foundation:

Undress your Skin Illuminating Foundation offers a medium to full coverage and is suitable for any skin type. It gives your skin an even-toned glow and visibly gives a soft healthy radiant finish, the formula contains light-diffusing particles leaving your skin feeling refreshed and luminous all day.

I’m so impressed with this foundation; the coverage is very good and gave my skin a gorgeous glow. The lasting power is also very good, my foundation lasted all day and night until I took off my make up before bed. I also loved the color, I have it in beige and ive never had a foundation match my skin tone so well! I will definitely be purchasing this again, I’m so pleased with it. Usually cheaper foundations can look orange but this isn’t the case with the undress your skin foundation. I absolutely love it!!

Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter:

"Undress your Skin Highlighting Powder is a lightweight baked powder designed to provide sheer coverage and a radiant soft-focus effect to transform your complexion with luminescence shimmer. The Undress Your Skin Highlighting Powder perfects any look by creating a natural, healthy glow that is suitable for all skin tones."

I love this highlighter! it adds a really nice glow to the skin, its nice and subtle. i'll be using this for my wedding! i've been looking for the perfect powder highlighter and I've found it :)



Undress your skin flawless primer:

"Flawless Primer will enable you to leave your skin feeling Undressed. It creates a radiant complexion that feels velvet soft to the touch whilst reducing the appearance imperfections in the skin such as fine lines and open pores, which means you can wear this alone giving you a perfect undressed look. Flawless Primer is also perfect for preparing your skin for foundation application creating a smooth canvas to work on as well as helping your foundation last all day."

This primer by Mua is amazing at creating the perfect make up base. Any fine lines, pores or imperfections are reduced leaving perfectly soft smooth skin. It's so easy to get perfectly smooth skin with this product.Not only does it create the perfect base, it also helps make up last! it doesn't make skin greasy like some primers so its perfect for all skin types.




Intense kisses High intensity gloss:

"The newest lip gloss in the MUA range! Intense Kisses lip gloss £2 each. They are sealed with a kiss in a high-intensity gloss which comes in a wide range of bold colours adds just the right amount of glamour to lips whether you're strutting down the street or the red carpet. Wear alone or over your favourite MUA lipstick colour for gorgeous kissable lip effect. Now it's time to pucker those lips up and get kissing away with your new intense MUA kiss lipgloss... MWAH!"

This lipgloss is so SO pretty and very glossy. The shade I have is 'kiss and tell' These lipglosses are highly pigmented and the colors are so pretty! at £2 they're a bargain! i'll be buying these in every shade!



Shimmer Kisses Blusher

"Shimmer Kisses Blusher highlights skin with four squares of pearlescent shimmer. Each bar also doubles up as eye shadow"

This is such a pretty blusher. it doesn't overwhelm the face with pink like some blushers. It adds a gorgeous subtle color to your cheeks with a nice natural looking glow.

Blush Perfection Cream Blusher

"These cream blushers are very versatile and multi-purpose. They can be directly applied to bare skin, layered over foundation or set with the matching matte blushers in the £1 MUA range. You can use blush perfection to highlight your cheekbones, shape your face, build and blend with fingers or a brush to create the colour intensity. The colour effects range from a light pink to warm shade, depending on method of application."

I don't usually use cream blushers but i've been converted! this cream blush is such a pretty color and i love the creamy texture, its so easy to apply and I love the natural rosy cheek look it gives.I tempted to buy this blush in all the different shades.



Mua Magnetic Nails

"Magnetic Polish is the most exciting nail polish! Create an amazing nail art effect in just seconds with this unique magnetic polishes and two amazing designs - circle and squiggle!!"

I'm so impressed with the Mua magnetic nails! The effect is gorgeous! it's so easy to apply. Just apply 1 coat to all nails then once the 1st coat has dried, apply another coat but as you paint each nail, hover the magnet which is in the lid over each nail for 5 seconds and you'll get this really pretty squiggly pattern! I love it!!

Cosy Leggings

So the UK weather is totally crazy at the moment, last week we had a mini heatwave, this week we have snow and freezing temperatures! Just as I was about to pack away my knitwear the weather changes!

I love these leggings* from Oasap. They fit around the foot and keep my feet warm when i wear pumps, they are super comfy and i think they look really nice. 

These leggings are an absolute bargain! they cost just £7.68 or $12 with free delivery!

Human Hair Extensions Review


I love hair extensions; they add voiume and length to anyone’s hair. You can buy hair extensions in many different colours, lengths and styles to match your natural hair.

You can buy acrylic or human hair. Human hair is better as you can treat it like your real hair, you can wash it, straighten it, blow dry it even dye it, human hair also looks more natural and blends with your natural hair better. Acrylic hair extensions can look overly shiny and you can’t use heat on them.

These hair extensions* from Shop hair extensions are really nice and high quality. The extensions are really comfortable to wear and they look so natural and blend with my natural hair really well. i do find that hair extensions have very wispy ends, some people like this but if you don't you can easily just trim the ends. I'm so pleased with my hair extensions, i think they look great!

The website has a huge range of extensions, weaves, Brazilian hair, Micro loop extensions, pre bonded extensions, tape hair extensions and wigs.  You can also buy extensions in many different styles, straight, curly, wavy. Shop Hair Extensions also do a huge range of different colours  so you’re bound to find the right colour to match your natural hair.

Studio Lash Stash Review

Welcome to another beauty review! Thanks so much for reading! Exuse my nails in this post, I haven't had a chance to paint my nails. A little tip, always use base coat on your nails, if you don't, your nails will become stained! 

I hope you enjoy :)

False eyelashes

I absolutely love false eyelashes, they really finish off a makeup look, whether you like natural or intense lashes, there’s so many styles on the market.

I received this very awesome eyelash set for Christmas from my very lovely sister (she sure knows me well!)
The Studio London Lash Stash set includes 4 different sets of eyelashes and the adhesive glue. The eyelashes included are: Natural, Winged, Super Intense, and intense.

How to apply false eyelashes:

Applying false eyelashes doesn’t have to be difficult. I find that every person has their own way of applying lashes so I will share with you how I apply mine.

  • You can either use your fingers or a pair of tweezers.
  • Carefully take the strip out of the packaging. If the strip is longer than your eye, carefully cut them to size.
  • Apply the adhesive glue to the strip, be careful not to get any of the glue on the eyelashes.
  • Wait a few seconds for the glue to turn tacky, it’ll help the eyelashes to stick better.
  • Pick up the lashes with the tweezers and bring them as close to your natural lash line as possible.
  • Press each end until the glue has set, allow 20-30 Seconds.
  • Cover any white glue patches with mascara & re apply eyeliner to cover any gaps.


I hope this is helpful, I’ll try to do a video so it’s easier to understand.

Ok onto my review!

Natural:

I love that they are subtle and look natural. I’m lucky enough to have very long eyelashes but for girls that don’t have such long eyelashes would really love these, they don’t look over the top and could easily wear these for work or with a natural day look.

Intense:

The intense lashes are my favourite, they look so pretty and really open up the eyes. They don’t look too intense and you could wear them out with a natural make up look, but they don’t look too natural.

Super Intense:

These eyelashes are great for a night out, they make your eyes stand out and really add a touch of glamour.

Winged:

These super dramatic winged eyelashes would look great for a night out if you wanted something really amazing and dramatic, they look super amazing. You could wear these winged eyelashes with a glamorous smokey eye look or a glitter eyeshadow.
