Maybelline Colour Tattoo in 70 Metallic Pomegranate

I've been eyeing up this particular Colour Tattoo for a while now and a few days ago I caved and bought it. It really is the perfect Autumn shade as the pulmness can be sheered out or built up for a more dramatic look.

Tried this out today and I looovee it, you can get it from Boots or Superdrug for £4.99

Hi everyone,

I recently did a post on the Illamasqua Complement which I love and this week I'm back with the equally as lovely Lipstick palette!

All the colours are bright pinks and matte so if you like pink and you like matte then this palette will be right up your street! The four shades are all really colourful and pretty and I love how they are all bright yet still really wearable and diverse. At the top left is Fable which is the most neutral of the four, this is a gorgeous peachy pink which is great for everyday wear. To the right of it is Plunge a bright Barbie pink, I think this is a great shade just to throw on with some mascara for a quick and simple but girly look. On the bottom left is Over, I absolutely love this bright coral shade - it will be perfect for Summer and to the right of Over is Corrupt, this is the deepest shade in the palette and it would look lovely for an evening look paired with shimmery gold eyes!

As always with Illmasqua lipsticks the colours are really fun and they never fail on pigment and colour, as well as this I always find their lipsticks to wear really well so you can depend on the colour to last and they are also lovely and comfortable to wear, keeping my lips hydrated and moisturised.

I totally think this palette has Summer lips covered in four lovely shades and I'm sure it will be one that I keep going back to once Spring finally decides to spring!

What's your favourite?

Naked 2 Dupe

Naked 2 dupe (?) MUA Undress Me Too Palette + review

I should have seen this one coming :) haha. MUA released a palette called Undress Me Too and it is a dupe for the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette. I am actually happy about that, because not everybody can afford the UD one for £36.00. The MUA dupe comes at a fraction of the price- a mere £4.

I compared the original Naked palette to the first MUA Undressed HERE, so if you want to have a read about the formula of the eye shadows etc, you will find all the info there.

I know that I am on a spending ban, but I just coudln't resist picking up this bargain to write this post. It was only £4, so I don't feel bad about it. I will start with a quick review of the MUA Undress Me Too palette.

The palette comes in white plastic packaging, with a clear lid, so a little bit different than the other MUA palettes.

I actually prefer the white packaging. It looks nicer. There is 12 shades in the palette, including beautiful golds and nudes,medium and dark browns and a jet black shade as well. All the shades are creamy, except shades Naked and Lavish, which are matte and not very pigmented. I love the fact that MUA named the shades. Well done :) The quality of the eye shadows is amazing and they last for good 8 hours without a primer and for over 12 h with a primer. Again, the 2 matte shades don't last on my eyelids for longer than 2 hours. Overall- BARGAIN!!!!I would definitely recommend picking this beaut up, when you are in Superdrug, or ordering it from www.muastore.co.uk. Mine got delivered the next day!!!! I am still in shock about that.

COMPARISON TO NAKED 2

The Undress Me Too palette isn't a perfect dupe for Naked 2, but the shades are similar, especially in the pan.

Once swatched, they look slightly different, but I can't moan- the MUA palette costs £32 less.

-there is 12 shades in both palettes

-Urban Decay shadows feel more luxurious and the quality and pigmentation is better. The quality of MUA Undress Me Too is surprisingly good too and all the shimmery shades are creamy and apply beautifully, but matte shades are less pigmented than UD ones.

-I don't need a primer if I use the Naked 2 palette and the shadows stay on my eyelids all day, except matte shades(they need a primer) All shimmery shades from MUA Undress Me Too stay put for most of the day- around 8 hours, but with a primer they last all day and look perfect. Matte shades need a primer no matter what to last for more than 2 hours.

Overall, the Urban Decay Naked 2 is an amazing palette and as an Urban Decay eye shadow addict, I will love it forever and won't replace it with the MUA dupe :) But... the Undress Me Too is a great product and perfect for those who don't want to pay £36 for Naked 2, or those who own the original Naked already.

Good Cheap Eye Base

My search for a good Eye primer is still underway and as I have been pretty impressed with No7 recently I thought that I'd give this one a go. I know it's technically not a 'primer' but I figured Eye Base sort of meant the same thing. I also used my £3 off No7 Makeup Voucher making this a very Budget item at just £4 (Normally £7 Here). Baring in mind that I have extremely Oily Eye lids it is probably a little unfair to completely slate this product as it does hold up the oil and creasing for a few hours but it's nothing to rave about for me. I am very sure though that if your lids are less on the oily side it would probably work very well.
