BACK TO SCHOOL MAKEUP TUTORIAL/TALK THROUGH

I've been kind of stumped about what to blog about recently as I seem to be running out of ideas. After realising that it's nearly time for some teenagers to go back to school, I thought I would do a 'Back To School' makeup look on my cousin, Bella. No way am I a makeup artist, so I was a bit hesitant to call it a tutorial. I am simply writing this to give you guys a few ideas.

What I used:

Base:
Foundation - Avon Ideal Flawless Cream - to - Powder Foundation in Ivory.
Moisturiser - Nivea Oil Free Moisturising Day Cream, review here.
Powder - Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Translucent, review here.
Blush - Fashionista blush in Butterscotch, review here.
The foundation photographed isn't the actual foundation I used. I used Avon Ideal Flawless Matte Mousse in Ivory, but I gave it to Bella before I photographed the items, sorry!

Eyes:
Eye Shadows - Sleek Oh So Special Palette, review here. BeautyUK Palette in No.4 Earth Child, review here.
Eyeliner - MUA Intense Colour Eyeliner Pencil in Rich Brown.
Mascara - Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara, review here.

Lips:
Lipstick - MUA Lipstick in Shade 4, review here.

The first thing I did was to moisturise her skin before foundation. Never skin moisturiser, even if you have oily skin. I then applied foundation, powder and blush. On to the eyes! For the base colour, I used the gold shade (top, 2nd to last) in the BeautyUK palette all over the lid. In the crease, I used the dark matte brown (bottom, 3rd to last) and blended. For the inner corner highlight, I used the champagne shade (bottom, 2nd to last) in the BeautyUK palette. I applied the eyeliner to the upper and lower waterline and applied mascara. Finally, I put some of the lipstick onto my finger and dabbed it all over the lid because I didn't want a bold lip, just something stubble but with a bit of colour. And voila, the finish product!

Like I said, I'm not a makeup artist or am I claiming to be one. I just want to give you some ideas. Thank you to Bella for dealing with me nearly blinding her with a mascara wand haha. She has a facebook page here, where she shows off her special FX makeup talent. I'm hoping to do a photo shoot with her soon, so look out for that!

CHLOE REVIEWS: MUA EYE SHADOW IN SHADE 2 - PEARL

Ahoy there readers, another review for you all today. It's a very affordable product that you'll just keep finding yourself going back for more shades like I did! Carry on reading if you want to find a highly pigmented eye shadow at a high street price!

What the website says - 'Single eyeshadows that are super high pigmented, smooth and easy to apply are the must-have item from MUA. They’re the barga-licious price of just £1 each and they come in 34 amazing shades from brights to natural colours. Create a dramatic look with three or four in one look, or simply sweep one across the eye for a wash of colour. Omg, we just love these eyeshadows! You could even use some of them as blushers! The looks you could create are endless… go on, collect them all!'

Texture and pigmentation - I feel like I say this every time I review eye shadows, but this eye shadow is soft and velvety. I haven't experienced any fall out surprisingly. The pigmentation is incredible for the price and for that fact that it's a drugstore/high street product. I use this to brighten up the inner corner of my eye and highlight my brow bone everyday and sometimes use it as a facial highlighter.

Scent - I personally, think that this smells like your typical eye shadow. No scent meaning that there shouldn't be any irritation for your eyes.

Packaging and price - Because of the price of this product, I don't think anyone should expect the packaging to be incredible. You can see the product and I think that the product is pretty protected from shattering by the packaging, which is what I would expect from the packaging. The price is..*drum roll* £1! Just £1 for 2g of product, bargain! You can get this in your local Superdrug or from the MUA website.

Thank you for reading guys! Have you tried out this MUA eye shadow? Also I would really appreciate it if you vote for my blog here.

BLOGUARY - CHLOE REVIEWS:- MUA LIPSTICK - DAY 10!

Hey guys, welcome to Bloguary day 10! I've had these for a while so I've made sure I tested them out enough before I reviewed them for you all!


What the website says:- 'Make a statement with our show stopping lip stick, available in 16 shades. Make Up Academy provides trend shades on a budget, allowing you to achieve the latest looks without breaking the bank!'

Texture and Pigmentation:- I find that these lipsticks are very moisturizing which I think is amazing, especially at this price and from the drugstore! The pigmentation is different for each lipstick I think. My red one is very pigmented, moisturizing and long wearing. The pink one isn't so pigmented or long wearing, but it is just as moisturizing if not a little more. 


Scent:- There isn't really a scent to these lipstick. This is a good thing as I hate the old smelling lipsticks that were around years ago!

Packaging and Price:- The packaging is good for the price. I think that it has got some elegance to it and it isn't bulky. You can pick these up from the MUA website or at Superdrug for £1.00.


I hope you've enjoy Bloguary day 10, have you tried these lipsticks? :-)
