MUA Undress Your Skin Illuminating Foundation – PORCELAIN Review

The other day I decided to purchase the MUA Undress Your Skin Illuminating Foundation in the shade Porcelain. You have no idea how over the moon I was to see the porcelain shade on the shelf. As a pasty face young lady I get frustrated when brands don’t create a shade for us pale pretty’s! We deserve some foundation love too!

I purchased this from my local Superdrug store for £5, although it was 3 for 2 at the time so I think it was a little bit cheaper!

The Undress Your Skin Range is a relatively new range by MUA which is all about creating a flawless complexion on a budget! Their range reminds me of Urban Decay’s NAKED range so I would highly recommend trying this first before splashing out!

PACKAGING

I like the packaging of the foundation. It’s simple, nude and makes me think of a fresh look. The tube is different, I’ve never had a foundation in a tube like this before so I was intrigued. It has a screw cap to prevent any leakages.

FORMULA

The formula is thick and a tiny bit watery but I kind of like that as it allows easier application and less product. It’s just a little bit creamier than a normal foundation. The porcelain colour is perfect. It’s really light and perfect for the paler skin tones. It’s a medium – full coverage.

APPLICATION

Application is super easy. You need around a grape size amount of the product to get a medium coverage and maybe 2 grape sizes to get a full coverage. It goes on like a dream and sits really nicely on the skin. It’s not at all streaky and it’s just amazing!

QUALITY

I really like the quality of the foundation. It hasn’t really got a smell to it which is good because I hate the smell of foundation sometimes! It’s got a great coverage and makes my skin look flawless. I love that it’s really lightweight too so this will be perfect for the summer. It’s given my skin a lovely fresh and glowing look

NEGATIVES

The only negative I have, which isn’t really the products fault, it’s my skins fault but I want to mention it anyway. If you have oily skin you might find this a little too harsh on your skin. My forehead has been oily lately and this foundation does make it worse. However after applying a matte powder over the top it calmed it down a little. I’m only pointing this out for the oily complexioned people out there as it might make your skin a little bit more greasy

OVERALL

I am really pleased with this foundation. I can’t really fault it. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality as I hadn’t read glowing reviews online of it but I can assure you this is a really lovely product. It’s only £5 so if you aren’t 100% keen on it it’s not really much loss. If you have a light skin tone then this will suit you perfectly. There are 2 other shades to choose from too.

Thanks for reading

Hope you enjoyed this post

Onesie Warehouse Review!

Onesie Warehouse is an online store which sells a variety of onesies, all styles and sizes. I have previously reviewed their black aztec onesie HERE so feel free to check it out !

I received their lovely hot pink onesie last week and I am absolutely in LOVE with it!

I wouldn’t say this is a Winter onesie as it isn’t as thick as the Aztec one I received a few months back however I would say this is perfect for Spring time. It’s not too thick, and it’s not too thin, it’s perfect for those mild Spring days!

It’s a footless onesie but I found with mine, the legs were long enough to wrap over my feet for extra comfort. I received a size 14 which was a perfect fit on my top half but a little snug on my bottom half which I found with the last onesie too. I would say if you are a size 14+ that these wouldn’t be ideal for you – However hopefully in the future they’ll stock more sizes.

Overall I love Onesie Warehouse onesies, this is the second onesie I’ve had from them and I’m still impressed. They wash well, they don’t shrink or fade either which is great. They’re great quality and I really cannot fault them! They also sell mens & childrens onesies too!

You can purchase the Hot Pink onesie for £20 HERE

Thanks for reading!

MUA Trio Eye Shadows

MUA have recently added some new products to their ever growing range and one of these products is the Trio Eyeshadows. These are small palettes with three shadows in each box that come in a range of colours at affordable prices. These are just £3 and you can purchase them on the MUA WEBSITE or in selected Superdrug stores.

The two palettes that I have are “Emotions” and “Theatrics”

EMOTIONS

Emotions is more of a neutral palette. It has three shimmer shadows all different shades of brown/cream. They are really well pigmented and the shimmer catches the light perfectly. I’m more of a matte shadow girl but I really like these.

trio4 trio5

THEATRICS

I love the Theatrics palette. The deep shades remind of a midnight sky. I love the black shade as it has elements of gold shimmer running through it which can be seen when the light catches your eyes. These too are really well pigmented. The lighter shades aren’t as pigmented but I find this with any light eye shadow in all honesty!

trio7

OVERALL

These are great eye shadows. If you have tried the MUA shadows before then you’ll recognize the similarity in pigment and quality. I love the uniqueness of the colours and the combination of colours that you can see. If you’re not keen on shimmer shadows then you really won’t like these as they are in no way matte – Pure shimmer. I think these would be perfect for the Summer months as the sun will really catch that shimmer and make your eyes pop!

These are only £3 and you get 3 shadows and one dual ended sponge applicator which sits in the packaging nicely

Give them a try and let me know what you think!

Thanks for reading!

Weekly Wishlist!

Wishlist time! No it’s not Wednesday, so it’s not “Wishlist Wednesday” and yes I know it’s Friday, which is usually “Friday Favorites” But I’m being a rebel and going for a Weekly Wishlist round up today!

I’m writing this now because by the time it get’s to Wednesday I probably would have forgotten what I wanted – I know that sounds silly but half the time I have to write a list of things that I am wanting because I tend to forget! (which should surely mean they’re not important enough to buy because I don’t remember them but oh well! haha)

So here’s my weekly wishlist!

#1 – Palazzo Pants – I am absolutely in love with Palazzo trousers at the moment. I don’t own a pair yet but I am dying to get my hands on a pair like the one’s above (from Topshop) and pair them with some wedges !

#2 – Peach Lemonade By Costa – Oh…my…goodness. If you haven’t tried the new Cooler flavor drinks then you need to ! The Peach Lemonade one is to die for! It’s refreshing and super tasty! I might have to try and re create this

#3 – Summer Scoop Yankee Candle - Okay, you have no idea how much I love Yankee Candles. They smell so lovely and the range of scents are endless. I saw that Yankee Candle had released a few new scents this year and I heard about the Summer Scoop one from another blogger. I visited my local garden center and smelt it (as you do) and It’s now in my wishlist!

#4 – Ice Watch – I’ve wanted one of these watches for a while. I love the ICE watches they’re bright and colorful. I love the Mint green and Sea blue one’s so hopefully I’ll get my hands on one soon

#5 – Candy Jar Storage – I’m looking into getting a few of these cute candy jars to store some of my makeup in. I’m trying to get the “shabby chic” style into my room and these will fit perfectly

#6 – Kick ass concealer Soap & Glory – I’ve heard really great reviews about this product and I mayyyy have to give in and go buy it !

#7 – Vintage Stool – At the moment I have a really ugly and annoying chair at my makeup desk and it just takes up so much room and I’m desperately looking for a vintage/shabby chic style stool like the one above (but more floral)

#8 – Bright Satchel – Yes, I want to jump on the Satchel bandwagon because I think they’re really cute! I love the bright neon one’s and I think it’d look great with a simple outfit to give it that extra pop of colour for the Summer

So this is my Weekly Wishlist!

Hope you enjoyed reading!

Thanks!
