Review of the MUA Professional Pro-Brow Ultimate Eyebrow Kit

I have another MUA product to review for you here! I am really loving this brand at the moment, they are perfect for students who have a little loan that needs to go a long way.

I remember reading about the HD Brows kit a long time ago and it was really popular over summer, especially when it was included in several beauty boxes. I've never really been fussed about my brows - I used to let them do what they wanted as I am a wimp and hated causing myself pain by plucking them. I was fine getting someone else to wax them but it has taken me years to get used to plucking them. But then comes another problem - when you accidently pluck the wrong hair and have random bald spots in your brows! So, I invested in a brow kit.

Review of two Natural Collection Lipsticks

My aim for 2013 is to get in to more lip products. I have plenty of lip balms - about 4 on average in my handbag at a time - but other than freebies, I have never gone out and brought anything. I think it's because I don't like my teeth - they aren't hideous, but they aren't pearly white and I feel like any lip colour I wear will draw attention to that. But, I brought some teeth whiteners, which seem to be working, and thought I would buy some lip sticks!

On the left is the Moisture Shine Lipstick in Berry Sorbet. On the right is the Sheer Natural Lip Colour in Sand Castle.

Review of the MUA Bronzer in Shade 3

If you read my post on my previous foray into bronzers (17's Instant Glow Bronzing Powder in Light), you would know that it left me sorely disappointed. After seeing Oh So Flawless's post on Bronzers I asked for her advice and she led me to MUA. Although she did recommend the mosaic bronzer, I went for the normal one instead as I mainly wanted it for contouring. 

This is a really nice light bronze and is the perfect colour for adding a healthy glow to my face, and for contouring as well. It is really blendable and you can build it up if you want a more harsh line for contouring. It lasts a long time as well! I haven't used it on a night out so I don't know how it will last under that, but it does last all day when I am at Uni.

Review of some LUSH products

Hi guys, I thought I would review the products that I bought recently from LUSH. You may have seen them in my latest haul post, but if not here are the products I am going to review for you today.

Review of Superdrug's Vitamin E Hot Cloth Cleanser

I was really excited when I heard that Superdrug had brought our their own version of the incredibly popular hot cloth cleanser. It was a lot more affordable than the infamous Liz Earle cleanser and retails normally at £5.99 but has £1 off at the moment! So I went out and bought it despite the fact that it was for Normal to Dry skin. I do have sensitive skin but I haven't reacted to the Vitamin E range before and I have tried a couple of their products so I thought I would give it a go.

Review of MaxFactor Clump Defy Mascara by False Lash Effect in Black

Hi guys, if you read my previous posts you will know that I hoarded mascaras a lot during the past 5/6 years. I used to work in Superdrug and I was the one who tried and tested the mascaras. After I left, I stuck to one (Bourjois' Liner Effect Waterproof Mascara) and I loved the effect this had on my lashes. But I got bored, and went back in to searching for different formulas and brushes. I still kept going back to my trusted Bourjois though. 

Then I heard about the Cover Girl Clump Crusher and how amazing it was meant to be. My lashes do clump quite easily so I really wanted this but, I obviously live in the UK so couldn't get hold of it. I went to Boots the other day, just to pick up some essentials, and I walked past the new MaxFactor Clump Defy mascara and I remembered reading somewhere that MaxFactor is Cover Girl. I don't know if this is true or not but I definitely do not regret buying this mascara!

Beauty Haul #2: Superdrug, Boots, Lush and Poundland

So my student loan came in a week or so ago and I had a list of items that I wanted to buy. I went a little crazy shopping this week and have two haul posts for you (the next one will be dedicated purely to Primark). This post will deal with Superdrug, Boots, Lush & Poundland! I will probably do reviews on the beauty products after I have used them before but here is the basic outline of what I purchased:

First up is the biggest part of my haul, Superdrug!

As you can see there are some essentials in here, along with some highly recommended beauty products. I got 10% off all of these prices with my NUS Extra card which was a nice little extra!

Review of 17 Instant Glow Bronzing Powder in Light Bronze

Hi guys, if you read my previous post, you will know about my younger self having an apparent lack of appreciation for adding colour to my skin by not using blusher. I'm afraid it is even worse when it comes to bronzer. For years I have lived with the idea that bronzer is a bad bad thing and I will end up looking like the picture below if I tried to use it.
