Small MUA Haul

Hmmmm, how can I explain this MUA haul...I'd like to make it clear that it was a very SMALL haul, purchased during a free worldwide shipping offer. Included are some products from the luxe collection that I'd been lusting after for a while. Actually I wanted these at the time that I was buying birthday/christmas gifts for myself, sooo maybe a late gift for myself??? ;)
I have been wanting to add some more matte lipsticks to my collection, so my purchase included Velvet Lip Lacquers and Matte Lipsticks. The glitter palettes intrigued me, so a couple of those finished my order.
Matte Lipsticks (L-R) Scarlett Siren, Peachy Keen, Pouty Pink.
Velvet Lip Lacquers in Funk, Reckless, Atomic.
Burlesque Glitter Palette
Twilight Glitter Palette

Please excuse the melting face, it was just so hot! I absolutely love the matte lipstick formula. Although it has a matte finish, it is one of the most moisturising formulas that I have used on my lips. It is so smooth, and doesn't leave my dry lips looking patchy. Although, it lasts well, obviously during the day the lipstick fades. I just applied lip balm over the top, and it gave me an even subtle colour. I was pleasantly surprised!



The glitter cream is great for a fun look. I'd only go as far as wearing it as a liner, it was hard enough to get rid of the glitter, I can only imagine how hard it would be to remove 2 lids worth, lol. I love the look of the initial application, but thanks to my hooded lids, I did experience transfer to my upper eye area. I would take a guess that these would be likely to crease. They're oh-so-pretty, tho. That's important too, right? :)


Oh dear, I really need to stop taking photos on so-hot-face-is-melting days, lol! Anyway, here I am wearing Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquer. This colour is so far out of my comfort zone, but you know what? I actually like it! I love the finish of these lacquers. They aren't as moisturising as the lipsticks, however they aren't too terribly drying. My lips did appear to be patchy after a few hours wear, however, some lip balm evened my lip colour, whilst giving moisture to my parched lips. They are always so dry!

 I am over-the-moon with the lip products, love, love, love! The glitter palettes are fun, but not a necessary addition to my makeup collection. Thankfully, MUA are so reasonable with their pricing.
Have you tried MUA?

    Ooh those lip lacquers look gorgeous! I also love the look of the matte lipsticks! Thank you for this post, I recently received an MUA eye shadow palette and it's amazing considering the price, so I'll definitely look into their other products now!

    P.S. You look lovely in those photos, you don't need to worry about a melting face at all haha x

      MUA is quite good for a budget brand. They can be hit-and-miss, but I've liked almost everything that I have tried. Oh, thanks for the compliment, hun xx

      I'm so glad that I got these. Free shipping is something that I find hard not to take advantage of. It helps that MUA's prices are so low, too :)

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
