Avon Mega Effects Mascara Review

Hey so this week I discovered the Avon Mega Effects mascara which could have actually changed my life! It's such a unique product because instead of the usual mascara wand it's a weird looking device which has almost the shape of an eyelid brush and a little handle (I'm really not the best at describing)!


This solves an annoying problem of mine which is when the wand of a standard mascara touches the bridge of my nose and leaves a little black mark! As well as stopping this I find this way of applying mascara so much easier and it applies the mascara much more evenly. Also I would say that if applying mascara to someone else this product would be so much easier to apply.



The actual mascara is also really great! I find it adds so much volume and length to my lashes which makes my lashes so fluttery! It doesn't smudge at all and it is so long lasting I can be wearing this for the whole day and it won't budge. It's reasonably priced, I picked mine up for £7 from the catalogue which is delivered to my house but you can also buy it online. If I had one little complaint it would be that the packaging has already got a little dirty from the mascara wand and brush but I would definitely recommend this mascara for anyone to try!
 

 
Thankyou and feel free to leave a comment have you tried this mascara what were your thoughts? Have you got a mascara you would recommend me to try? I love hearing your feedback and suggestions!

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick Review

Hello! First of all I wanted to say sorry for not posting last week, it's been a very hectic and stressful past few weeks because I have been sitting my gcse exams and I'm pleased to say that I have finished them all now! I'm so happy I've left school and I now have a really long summer ahead of me! I hope all this hard work will pay off when I get my results in August.

This week I thought I would review two lipsticks which I have been loving! I had heard lots of great things about the Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks and after purchasing them I know why! I own two different colours, shade 1 which is a bright red and shade 8 which is a natural nude. You can buy them from any drugstore and they cost around £5.

 
 
I love the formula of these lipsticks because I love the creamy consistency and they are very pigmented too. The colour also seems to last for a very long time which is always great. This may sound a little weird but I also love their smell, as you know there is nothing worse then finding an amazing product which has a disgusting smell!! I don't really know how to describe the scent of these lipsticks but it's delicious!



The colour 1 is such a vibrant red colour which stands out and recently it has been my go to product for a red lip. It's so versatile I could wear it during the day or add to a more dressed up outfit at night.


Shade 8 is a perfect lipstick for the no makeup, makeup look because it's a really delicate and pretty darker nude colour. I think this shade is a great nude for my skin tone and it's become my go to lipstick.


Have you tried the Kate Moss Lipsticks and do you have a favourites shade? I love reading your comments and feedback.

Mua Undress Me Too Palette Review

Hey! Sorry for the slight gap between my last post it's because I have been so busy recently especially revising for my final exams! I decided to do my first blog review for this post.

I recently bought the MUA undress me too palette as I has heard lots of good reviews and even heard it was a dupe for one of the naked palettes! It's only £4 which is so affordable and I loved the colours in this palette. I am going to show you the palette and give swatches for each individual shade too.

The colours are mainly neutrals as well as a few metallic shades which create a great smokey eye. I love the range of colours this palette offers and how pigmented the eyeshadows are too! I also love the mix of matte and metallic shades which can be mixed to create beautiful natural or bold looks. The only small thing I would change about the palette is changing the foam applicator to a brush so that the colours would be easier to apply.




The first colour in the palette is called Naked and is a great base colour as it looks natural and creates a light colour to build other eyeshadows onto.



The second colour in the palette is called Tranquil,  it is slightly metallic and has a little bit of shimmer which I really like but it is still a natural shade.



The next colour is called Devotion this is one of my favourite shades in the palette becuase it has lots of shimmer, it looks so pretty and it is great for a stand out eyeshadow look.



Exposed is the next shade in this palette, it is a grey/brown tone and only has a little bit of metallic glitter which means it works well in a smokey eye look.




Then is the shade Shy, this is again is a natural eye shsdow and is a very similar colour to Naked but this has a slight shimmer.




Reveal is a light brown colour which looks natural and can be worn as a day to day eyeshadow and again it does have a little hint of shimmer.





The next shade is called Fiery, this is a really pretty copper coloured shade which I particularly like because it is different to any other eyeshadow I own.





Wink is again a natural brown shade which a very small amount of shimmer which makes it ideal foe everyday no makeup look. I find this shade works very well with Reveal.



Next is Lavish which is one of the matte shades of the palette it is a pretty shade and I use it as a base colour because it works with other colours and compliments nearly all of the brown and grey shades in the palette.




The next shade in the palette is called obsessed and is a dark metallic brown which I use in the outer corner and crease of my eye because it works so well with the other neutral shades in the palette and looks good in a smokey eye.



Dreamy is a really pretty metallic golden brown tone which I love in a gold eye look. It's a really versatile colour because it can be worn in a natural daily look or in an evening look.


The final colour in the palette is Corrupt, it's a black matte shade which can be used as a great alternative to eyeliner or in dark smokey eye look.



I really love this palette and I think it's a bargain at only £4 so I would definitely recommend it to everyone! I also can't wait to look at the other palettes MUA sell in their range to add to my collection.
