Top 5 under £5

Today I want to talk to you about a few of my favourite drugstore products, and the best part is they're all under £5. So you can shop away without feeling too guilty ;)!

 First, we have the MUA single eyeshadows, these are a complete bargain at only £1.00 each. They're really pigmented and fairly easy to blend, you can find a full review on them here.

My Everyday Face

Today I thought I'd share with you the products I tend to reach for on an almost daily basis. Sometimes when I'm feeling super inspired I like to change up my eye look but my base usually stays the same (I may switch my foundation to my M.A.C. studio sculpt or Maybelline Fit Me if I feel like I need a change).

These are all the products That I use on an everyday basis, I do try to switch my routine up a bit whenever I can, but most days I'll finding myself reaching for these products. The Revlon foundation is a fairly recent purchase and I have to say that I'm loving it. 

MUA Cream Blusher - Bittersweet - Review & Swatches

Today I have for you a review on the MUA Cream Blusher in Bittersweet. To be honest with you I've never been too keen on cream blushers because I always felt that they would make me look really oily/shiny,  but when I saw that MUA had come out with a range of cream blushers retailing at only £2 each I decided to take the plunge and try them out to see what all the hype was about cream blushes. And since they were only £2 I felt that I had nothing to lose if I didn't end up liking them. I bought two shades Bittersweet and Yummy, and today I will be reviewing the shade Bittersweet.

MUA (Makeup Academy) Undressed Eyeshadow Palette | Swatches +& Review

The "Undressed" palette consists of 12 neutral shades with a few mattes and loads of shimmery/metallic shades.

 

This palette can be used to create a very soft and natural looking everyday eye look with a little bit of shimmer and if you're feeling a little bit brave you could always add a bit of extra definition using the darker shades that are included.

This palette can also be used to create a dark smokey eye for a night out/party using either the gunmetal colour (shade 12) or the black (shade 11) or both!! Whatever you're in the mood for.

 

The shades are all highly pigmented and blend beautifully. They last all day on the lids and do not tend to crease, however, I would recommend using a eyshadow primer for those of you who have very oily lids as some of the shades will crease. One thing I don't like about these eyeshadows is that they tend to have some fallout, but since that palette is so CHEAP compared to other palletes I can't really complain. Another downside of this palette is that it only has two matte shades (which doesn't bother me too much, but may matter to others)

 

The matte shades don't swatch very well but they are great on the eyelids for an everyday neutral look.

 

I think this palette is perfect for women who want to get into wearing makeup but are a little intimidated by brighter shades, and with a pricetag of only £4.00 you really can't go wrong with this palette. MUA products are available instore at Superdrug or online on the MUA website if you don't live in the UK, they ship internationally which is amazing :)
