MUA Cover and Conceal Review


MUA Cover and Conceal
This is the Cover & Conceal concealer from MUA and their Undress Your Skin Range. It comes in 3 shades Fair, Natural and Almond. This only costs £1.50 so is a good option if you are on a budget. Like most concealers it has a doe foot applicator. MUA says 'Conceal imperfections, under-eye circles, spots on the face with this concealer wand. The creamy lightweight texture which blends in to create that flawless finish with a natural coverage that lasts all day.' 

MUA Cover and Conceal
I have found that this concealer is very light which makes it great for covering under eye circles. I find that it doesn't go cakey which I find some concealers do when you put them under your eyes. This doesn't offer the best coverage but I don't have really dark circles  so it is fine for me. If you have dark circles and lots of blemishes then this may not be for you but if you want a light concealer to cover a few imperfections then this is perfect. I like this for under my eyes as I find that it really brightens up that area. I find that this blends really well and doesn't settle in any creases under my eye. This is a great little budget friendly product and I recommend it if you are on a tight budget.

Although the shade range is limited I have found that this colour is a pretty good match for me (I got the lightest shade which is Fair). This has been a great addition to my collection and I find the products in the Undress Your Skin Range to be really good products.

Have you tried this? What is your favourite concealer?

Illamasqua Mystery Box


Illamasqua Mystery Box
I am mainly a budget beauty blogger so you may be wondering why I am writing a post about Illamasqua which is definitely not a purse friendly brand (unfortunately) but this is a very budget friendly offer. I was recently reading someone else's blog post about their mystery box and out of curiosity I thought I'd see how much it was. I was expecting it to be way too expensive but I was greatly surprised and I'm sure you will be to when I share with you how much it was. It was only *drumroll* £17.50, yes that's right you read correctly. This box which contains 6 full size Illamasqua products was only £17.50. The box was originally £35 and it has a worth of £93. If you want this box I recommend getting it now from Debenhams.
Illamasqua Mystery Box
The idea behind the box is that you get 2 products which you are certain about. You get a Liquid Eyeliner Precision Ink in Glister and a Liquid Metal in Electrum these 2 products are guaranteed. You will then get 2 eyeshadows in any shades and 2 nail polishes in any shades. You do not know what shades you will get and that's what makes it a mystery box. I was very excited when I got mine as I could not wait to see what I got. So lets see what I got shall we.
Illamasqua Electrum and Glister
The first 2 products are the liquid eyeliner and cream eyeshadow. Glister is a beautiful nude colour that looks really pretty. Electrum is a gorgeous gold which could be used as a eyeshadow or a gel eyeliner.
Illamasqua Never and Shiver
The 2 eyeshadows I got were Never (a navy blue) and Shiver (a shimmery colour) both these eyeshadows are very pigmented. I think I will use Shiver slightly more as it's a very good everyday colour.
Illamasqua Shrapnel and Faux Pas
The 2 nail polishes I got are Shrapnel and Faux Pas I love both of these colours and I can't wait to paint my nails with them.

I will be doing reviews of all these products as soon as I try them out. As you can see from the above swatches the pigmentation is amazing.

Gosh Trio Metallic Rose Review

Gosh Trio Metallic Rose
Gosh Trio Metallic Rose
I got this in the bargain section of my Superdrug for only 49p. I’m not sure if you are still able to get this but you should be able to find it on EBay and other discount websites. I don’t normally wear colours like this but as it was only 49p I thought why not? Also this was my first ever Gosh purchase for some reason I have never tried any of their stuff before but after this I am pretty sure that I will.The colours are really pretty and surprisingly pigmented. These eyeshadows are really soft and blendable. They glide on really well and last all day. Although they are quite pigmented I would recommend using a primer just to make the colour stand out even more.  This trio is handy to have for travel and I have quickly become very fond of it. This is possibly my best beauty bargain ever.
