MUA Shade 1 Lipstick Review | Perfect for Autumn

Hey girlie's!!!

Ive recently been on the hunt for a nice Autumn lipstick shade that wont break the bank, so being the MUA lover that i am, i knew they would have a little beauty bargain for me and i wasn't wrong!!!

I decided on MUA's Shade 1, its a gorgeous vampy berry red with no glitter or shimmer particles running through it what so ever and has a nice satin finish. Shade 1 is right up my street as far as Autumn lipstick shades go, so if like me, your not a fan of  the deep plum shades this is definitely one to try. MUA lipsticks in general are such amazing quality and 'shade 1' certainly doesn't disappoint. The pigmentation is amazing, it's so creamy and just glides onto your lips for easy application and feels so smooth and easy to wear. As for lasting power, well, i was amazed!!! The colour lasted a good 4 hours maybe even a little longer before i needed to reapply which i think is great, I'm all about long lasting make up.

The packaging is simple yet sleek and has the cutest little surprise at the bottom, a small twist off jar with the same lipstick shade inside, i think its a fabulous little addition to the packaging and works really well for storage purposes, if it's standing upright you'll be able to see the shade straight away. 

Its so hard to believe this lipstick was only £1!!!!! Yup that's right, just £1!!!!! The quality is just so amazing that you feel like your wearing an more expensive lippy than a £1 lippy. Overall I'm super impressed with this shades colour pay off and quality and would definitely recommend it for this Autumn/Winter.

What MUA lipstick will you be wearing during Autumn/Winter??? Id love to know???

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer | Review

Hey girlie's!!!

 The other day when repurchasing my all time favourite concealer, the 'Collection Lasting Perfection' i realised I've never done a review on it before, silly me. Ive been using this concealer for years and have gone through so many tubes, but i just love this concealer so much i wont ever stray from it and no matter how many concealers i try they never really come close to Collection's offering.

The Lasting Perfection Concealer comes in a little plastic tube (beware the writing rubs off the packaging almost instantly) with a doe foot applicator, there's 4 shades to choose from in the collection, Fair, Light, Medium and Dark. I always buy the shade 'Fair' for under my eyes as i like a nice brightening concealer for under the eyes but then i also use 'Meduim' for any blemishes i might have. 

The consistency of this concealer id say is quite thick and creamy, it's really easy to work with and blends out beautifully and provides full coverage without looking cakey, it also covers blemishes and dark under eye circles superbly. Another little use for this concealer is that it helps conceal and fill pores really well too, brilliant!!! I find the best way to apply this concealer is either with your fingers or i like to use my 'Real Techniques Deluxe Crease Brush' just for that flawless finish.

The concealer claims to have super long lasting 16 hour wear coverage, i do agree that this is a super long lasting concealer but id say more like 9-10 hours than 16. The only negative i have about the concealer itself it the fact it can cling to dry patches, for instance if i have a spot that's healing and i use the concealer to cover it i end up making the spot more visible as the concealer doesn't really blend in it just clings, lucky enough i don't really suffer with spots or break outs so its not too much of an issue for me, but if you was to buy this concealer for that purpose keep that in mind.

All in all this is one fabulous concealer and I'm pretty sure i will continue to repurchase this for a very long time, its also a nice affordable concealer too priced at just £4.19, such a beauty bargain. 

Have you tried this concealer??? What did you think???

Eden Organic Care Avocado Oil | Review

Hey girlie's!!!

Ive recently been trying out the Eden Organic Care Avocado Oil so i thought id share with you all my thoughts on the brand and the product....

Eden Organic Care is a company which supply 100% organic products for hair and skin, as i said I've been road testing their Avocado Oil which is 100% organic and contains nothing but 100% unrefined avocado oil, amazing!!!!! Avocado oil is highly valued for its regenerative and moisturising properties and is loaded with a variety of nutrients. The oil contains high levels of antioxidants, is rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, D, E, protein, lecithin and fatty acids. With all of that goodness combined it means this avocado oil is perfect for.....

Hair

▪ Improving split ends.
▪ Restoring the hairs natural shine.
▪ Improving the appearance of dry and damaged hair.
▪ Increases that softness and silkiness we all love.
▪ Improves a dry scalp and dandruff.

Skin

▪ Treating lines and wrinkles.
▪ People suffering from eczema or psoriasis.
▪ Treating sun damaged skin.
▪ Due to its moisturising and nourishing qualities, its the ideal product for use in luxury aromatherapy massages.

The oil itself comes out like a yellowish/green colour, there is an ever so slight nutty smell to the oil but very light, nothing over powering or horrible smelling.

I have to admit my favourite way to use this avocado oil is on my hair, I've noticed such a difference. Ive been growing my hair out for quite some time and i do find the lengths of my hair get very dry at times. I simply pump around 2 pumps worth of the oil into my hands then work it through the mid length's of my hair, you can massage it from the roots if you like but if prefer just to use it on the mid lengths, i then leave it for about 10 minuetes and shampoo out with my normal shampoo. It leaves my hair feeling so super soft, healthier and shiny, i love it!!!

I've also found this works really well as a cuticle oil, i have extremely dry cuticles, even when I've had my nails done in salons they always say to me how dry my cuticles are and since using the avocado oil I've noticed a huge improvement. I'm not a lover of using oils on my body but i have given it a whirl, if you suffer from dry knee's and elbows like me your going to love this, it doesn't take too long to soak into the skin, id say a couple of minuetes or so and doesn't leave a slick oily residue like i thought it would, its just majorly moisturising and i felt the benefits almost instantly.  

The Eden Organic Care Avocado Oil costs £14.99 for a 100ml bottle, i can see this oil lasting me a super long time as a little really does go a very long way with. The bottle also has a pump dispenser too making it easy to use, i hate those awful pipits you usually get with oils so that's great for me. Overall i do really like using this oil for lots of different things, mainly on my hair as it just works wonders but its nice to have the option of using this on my body too.

Have you used avocado oil??? What did you think???
