MUA Haul

Hello my lovelies, have you realised that I've been pretty good with posts the past few days- I'm quite proud of myself!
Today I'm going to be doing a haul on the brand that is MUA. This range is amazingly priced at £1 each for every single item in the range. For those of you that don't know, this range is superdrugs own and is subjected to 36 branches in the UK. Unfortunatly, my superdrug isn't one of the thirty six that stock it so i had to order online. These are the thirteen little pieces that i ended up with...

everything together.

eyeshadows
from L-R: shade 12 pearl, shade 1 pearl, shade 11 pearl, shade 13 pearl and shade 3 pearl


sorry for the weird upside down picture!
eye shadow swatches-
from L-R: shade 13 pearl, shade 12 pearl, shade 1 pearl, shade 11 pearl and shade 3 pearl

lipsticks-
from L-R: shade 3, shade 2, shade 11, and shade 13


lipstick swatches-
from L-R: shade 3, shade 2, shade 11 and shade 13

 lipglosses-  
from L-R: shade 2, and shade 3
lipgloss swatches-
from L-R: shade 2 and shade 3

nail varnish's -
from L-R: shade 7 and shade 10

Thats my haul for you all, I'm a bit un impressed about the lipstick shades of two and eleven but i'm sure I'll warm to them. The only products I've tried properly are the nail varnish's. I have shade seven on now and oh my god! Its amazing, I will totally be stocking up on loads of these polishes, they are such good quality- might have to buy all of them! For only £1 each Its not going to break the bank!

I'll be reviewing the rest of the things I picked up soon (:

a la drugstore hauling

today i just popped into town to pick up some things that i'd run out of,but then 3 for 2 kicked in *raises eyebrow*!

so here's just a few bits and pieces that i got from superdrug and surprisingly... audi!

Twin pack of cotton pads - thought i'd start with the least glamourus things! these are from audi as my dad had to go in there to buy some choccies so as they were only 99p and i was desperate for new ones, i picked them up  (:

Antibacterial hand gel - again, this is ultra boring but when i'm hauling- i'm showing you girls everything i've got! this one was from superdrug, it was 2 for £1.50 so i picked one up and so did dad. he said it'd be good for my school bag!

Gosh Darling Lipstick - i'm  probably the last person on this earth to get hold of this, every one knows what this looks like and i'm really looking forward to trying it. It was £6.49 (i think) from superdrug. I don't normally like nude lipsticks as i think brighter colours suit me a bit better but i needed to get my hands on this after i swatched it. It was really creamy and i felt better about buying it!


Gosh Lip Gloss in 0098 - this is when the 3 for 2 kicked in. i'm such a sucker for offers! even if they don't even help me, i still get sucked in - god i'm awful! This colour is really nice, it looks more pink in the tube, but on the lips it comes off as a pinky-red. i put this on when i got home and i really like this colour. the lipglosses aren't sticky but they are quite wet. overall, this is a nice shade.

 Gosh Lip Gloss in 0096 - Yes, so this was my third on the 3 for 2. I wanted a more sustainable colour that wasen't too bright or too nude and i think this has that potential. Its more of a purpley-pink and for winter i think this will look nice (:  I haven't tried this on my lips yet, but i'm guessing it will have the same formulation as the first shade.

Superdrug's make up wedges - These come in a pack of 20 and in quite a good quality zip up bag. It took me ages to actually find some make up sponges that came in a big pack. I could only find ones that came in packs of twos or fours. I've been using sponges everyday to apply my foundation at the moment as i find it gives me a better finish than a brush at the moment.

Collection 2000's Lasting Perfection Concealer - most of you probably know that this is my holy grail concealer, and even though i had 3 back ups, this morning they all decided they didn't like me and none of it was left! so i had to pick this up. It's in medium if any of you were wondering!

Lacura Aqua Complete Moisteriser - i've heard good things about audi's moisterisers, and if they live up to the hype i'll be a very happy girl because this was only £1.99! it's in quite a large pot and it smells gorgeous because its enriched with sea minerals. It's actually a blue cream which is quite strange, however- i comes out as normal!

Lacura Concealer Pen - i'm really annoyed at this picture! you can't even see what it says, how stupid! anyway, i've also been told that this is amazing as well, its a dupe of ysl's touche eclait but for only £3.99. in audi they didn't have any testers so i had to take a guess at my colour match. there was only two shades to chose from anyway - amber and cashmere, with cashemere being the lightest and amber being the darker shade. after some debating i chose cashmere as i'd rather it be too light that too dark and i have to say, even if this is on the lighter side of things, once it's blended out the colour is perfect. there's a button on the bottom which you can see on the photo, that you press to eject the concealer into the brush applicator which can thm be brushed onto the face for the application. I'm really looking forward to trying this as i have high hopes for it, a review will follow!

thank you all for reading my blabber on this sunday afternoon! if you'd like reviews on any of the products mentioned then just ask and it'll be done (:

concealer (: -collection 2000 lasting perfection, review!

as i have zero followers at the moment, i feel like its pretty pointless typing this but hopefully someone will wonder across my beautiful blog, and realise that its more than just words (: and if your that someone, i love you! <3

anyway.. back to the review, i find review's pretty helpful and especially when the product is a bargin and this one definatly is! It's £3.99 at superdrug.
this concealer is a real winner for me- its cheap,it has a good constituency,good coverage and everything that can be good about a concealer! 

this is a liquid concealer and looks like this...
it looks the part with sleek black packaging and clear black writing. the colour's are 'alrighttt' there's four colours to choose from as far as i know, very light, light, medium and dark. I have medium, and it's a little on the light side for me, but i don't want to jump on the dark shade because i don't want to look oraaaaange!

it has a normal sponge applicator that is perfect for concealing blemishes, as its big enough to cover 'one' with only one slodge. here it is..

how boring? most of you have more or less seen one of these before, but just in case you haven't i thought i'd give you the pleasue of seeing one of these beautiful things!

however, i do use a concealcer brush to apply this to larger areas and also to under my eyes. i use my MAC 249, now all you 'mad-mac-people' will tell me 'no,it's a large shader brush-for your EYES!?' and they'll all be a bit like 'hello?!?!'  but for me, i like quite a large concealer brush for this product, compared to my 194-which in my opinion is only for precise application. MAC has a plethora of brushes, and they are all very multi-purpose but each to there own.

this is a prize winning concealer for me, and if i was you i'd totally give it a go! :)  for £3.99, can you go wrong ?

well.. 2true colour drench lipglosses :) - RAVE!

as i was mooching round superdrug on a saturday afternoon with my gingerbread latte from costa (tasted amazing,especially as it was freeeeeeezing!) i came across the twirly,tall tower filled with 2true cosmetics. as with many people-we think that the more expensive the make up the better it has to be, well not in this case as all the 2true make up, are £1.95 each or 3 for £5 (i also picked up a concealer- a review will come soon!)

at the moment, i seem to have a problem with lipgloss; i'm buying a hell of a lot! so as i twirled around this tower of makeup, these beauties caught my eye...

up above, this gorgeous colour is in shade 1 :) its a lovely matte bright pink, it gives you amazing coverage. The bright colour really tops off the rest of your make up, and brightens up a natural look, its amazingly pigmented and is buildable at the same time. &for £1.95 you can't go wrong!

up above again, this is in colour 7 (:   this is a lovely coral colour, and has gold sparkles flowing through it. If you look on their website, shade seven and shade one look horrible- seven it looks bright orange and one looks a disgusting barbie purple! but their not, you really need to see them in real life.


these lipglosses are so pigmented and are really worth the trip to your nearest superdrug!
as far as i know-thats the only place you can pick 2true up at the moment, but superdrug's also online remember ! ;) 

hugs,
make-up addict (L')
