MUA Lipstick Shade 13

I brought this lipstick a few weeks ago, as seen in a previous post. I'm starting to really love MUA lipsticks, they apply easily, feel moisturising, give a sheer/glossy finish and some great colours available. Also, they are just £1 each! 




 I also used Collection 2000 lip liner in Brick Red.

New Purchases

Today I went out to get my Mums birthday present and card ect, and brought a few things for myself, not a lot as I'm offically broke, I know I say that a lot, but I am now!
I went into Superdrug hoping to buy the MUA Heaven and Earth Palette and still do not have it. Everything else was in stock  but that, and I was a bit disappointed it wasn't there so I settled on two lipsticks.

MUA Lipstick (Shade 11) - £1 Superdrug
I tried this as soon as I got back home. It's such a lovely warm colour and I will defiantly be wearing this as part of my everyday make-up. 


MUA Lipstick (Shade 13) - £1 Superdrug
How a-mazing is this red?! Its so vivid and great. I only recently just got back the confidence to wear bright lipsticks again, and I literally cannot wait to wear this out! 


Ivory Sunglasses - £1 Primark
I was meant to buy these last time I was in Primark, but they were stuck in the bottom of the basket. They were originally £2 and are now on sale. I have brought a ton of sunglasses in the past but I always break them, so I got this too.



Floral Sunglasses Case - £1 Primark
This was also in the sale, and used to be £2 I think. Hopefully now sunglasses will last much longer! 


Lastly, I picked up a few jewellery accessories from Primark. 

Stone Bracelet - £2 Primark

Stud Earring Set - £1.50 Primark
How cute! I love this set. All are wearable. Sometimes in earring sets, there are always one pair I'm not that keen on, but I would wear all of these, Plus, they have Owl studs! So adorable.



Hope your all enjoying the Summer, UK weather isn't great at the moment.
Just a few weeks till I go on holiday, really need to get away. And looking forward to spending time with family.

Cheap Lipsticks Swatches

Just a quick post here, as a student with barely any income, I can't really afford to spend a lot on make up, which is why most of my make up is on a budget. I thought I would share with you my favourite cheap lipsticks and lipglosses.







From the top -
W7, Kiss Me, Lip plumping 75p - This really does plump your lips. It's not sticky either, it has a slight smell of mint. Also feels tingly on the lips which might put some people off it.

-Collection 2000, Lock 'n' Hold Lipgloss in Body Pop 1 £2.99 - This smells really nice. Is again not sticky. In the packaging, it looks bright pink, but when you apply it, its not as pink, just a tint of pink to the lips.

-Collection 2000, Lock 'n' Hold Lipgloss in Rock Steady 3 £2.99 - Out of all my lipglosses, this is my favourtie. Its a nude colour, also not sticky and great for a natural look.

-Natural Collection, Moisture Shine Lipstick, Crimson £1.99- This is a bright red colour, but for me I have to apply a few coats on my lips to get the redness I want. Its long lasting but smudges easily.

-Natural Collection, Moisture Shine Lipstick, Rose Petal £1.99-  I love this lipstick, its a very pale peachy colour, great if your going for a nude look on the lips. I wear this with Collection 2000, Lock 'n' Hold Lipgloss in Rock Steady over the top. Its again long lasting.

-Natural Collection, Moisture Shine Lipstick, Rose Bud £1.99- Another NC lipstick! This one is a more deep pink/red. It comes out quite dark on my lips but think its because my skin tone is light so it stands out more. This is long lasting and looks good with a clear lipgloss over the top.

-MUA Lipstick, Shade 7 £1 - These next two are my first purchases of MUA lipsticks and I love them already. It has a creamy texture when applied and feels soft on my lips. This shade is a pinky orange colour, when I apply a few layers, it seems to take a slight orange colour. I like it personally and think it suits my skin tone.

-MUA Lipstick, Shade 5 £1 - This lipstick is pink and sparkly! I love it! Again its creamy and such a lovely texture. It lasts a long time too. Such a great product for a mere £1! Will defiantly be buying more lipsticks from MUA.
