Purchase of the Week

Hello my little lovelies! This weeks purchase, is the MUA Undressed Palette! 

The colours are wonderful, and swatch really well! They look really nice on the eyelids, and are really pigmented! As for staying power, they last all day, when wearing a eyelid primer! I originally went to buy this as i heard that it was a pretty good dupe for the naked palette from Urban Decay, but i can't compare as i don't own it. But as for the product itself, i think it's a pretty good staple!

This costs £4, and is available from MUA. I think for any starter kits, or even for the pro's amongst us, its a pretty good,buy!

 And i have had this for around 3 weeks (despite the title of the post) so I've tested them all out!

                                                              **True to colour swatches**

Hope you enjoyed todays purchase of the week!

My Top 5 Makeup Brushes!

Hello my little lovelies!!! Today i thought i'd show you my favorite 5 makeup brushes. Now i know this post is a little crammed with Real Techniques Brushes, but hey, these are the brushes i like! I've not tried hundreds of makeup brushes, but I've tried a fair few, and these are the ones that turned out tops! This might change overtime, as i try more and more brushes (i.e. Mac, but my budget doesn't stretch that far yet)

Real Techniques Powder Brush:- £12.99 

I love the softness of this brush, and its perfect for applying powder, (I use it with my Stay Matte powder that everyone raves about, but personally i think the natural collection pressed powder is much better myself.) It applies a nice even layer of powder across my face, leaving a natural look.

Real Techniques Setting Brush:- £8.99 

I know that its not meant to be a contouring brush but that's what i use it for and it works perfectly. It fits under my cheek bones, and leaves a really nice contoured look. I tend to use this with a matte bronzer as im not keen of the shimmery ones. And its relatively cheap compared to most makeup brushes. This one is also very soft!

Seventeen Eye shadow Brush:- £2.00

Firstly can we all just appreciate the price? £2 for an excellent eye shadow brush! It picks up the product well and evenly dispenses it across your eyelid. I actually can use this for 'crease work' but this can be rather tricky and i wouldn't try this if your only a beginner! I definitely advise you try this brush though!

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush:- £9.99

This brush is really dense, and very soft yet again! That's one think i love about the Real Techniques collection, their all SO soft! I find that this brush is great to apply cream and powder blush. I especially love the finish that is given when i use this brush to apply cream blush. If you want a higher coverage foundation brush.

Real Techniques Stippling Brush:- £11.99

I use this brush to 'buff' in my foundation and concealer, and it works a treat! Its good if you want a low-medium coverage. It leaves your foundation looking really nice and glow-y. I  think this is probably my favorite brush of all time as its really that good!! I LOVE it!

Hope you enjoyed this post, my little pumpkin pies!
