MY THOUGHTS ON: MUA LIPSTICK IN SHADE 16 NECTAR

I think most beauty bloggers own at least one MUA lipstick as they are so affordable (they cost £1 each) and come in amazing shades! So I went to Superdrug the other day to get one for myself as well. I got it in shade 16 called "Nectar". 

Let's start with the packaging. It is very simple, which is good because 1) I love everything simple and 2) it doesn't look cheap even though it is cheap. What I also like about the packaging is a small pot of lipstick on the bottom. I think it's perfect for people who use a brush to apply their lipstick. 

"Nectar" is a bright peachy coral shade. When you consider the price, the quality of this lipstick is absolutely incredible. The formula is creamy and not very glossy, which is great because I'm not really into glossy lipsticks (except Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayons, these I love). The pigmentation is very great, the shade is opaque in one coat. 

As for the downsides, I've only found three but considering the price, they are totally forgiveable. The first one is about the smell. I feel it only during the application but it smells like a cheap lipstick (but it is cheap so as I said before - totally forgiveable). It also feels a little bit dry on lips, definitely not hydrating. The last thing I don't love about this lipstick is of course the wear time. It stays on lips for about 2 hours so it needs to be reapplied very often. 

In conclusion, I'm very impressed with this lipstick, I really didn't think that a £1 lipstick can be that good. The downsides are small therefore totally forgiveable. I will definitely buy some more MUA lipsticks very soon! 

Do you own a MUA lipstick? What do you think about it?

NEW IN: BEAUTY AND JEWELLERY

Going to Ireland at first meant one thing for me: shopping. After finding out that I'm actually going, the first thing I did was checking where Penneys and Boots are and when I found out they're both in Letterkenny, I was good to go.

The first stop was Boots. I knew about this offer win which you get a Luminous Red nail inc. nail polish free with Colgate Max White One toothpaste before, as many bloggers were writing about it, so I went straight to that section in Boots because who wouldn't want a free nail inc. nail polish? Actually, for me is more like I paid for the nail polish and got the toothpaste free... Anyway, I haven't tried it yet but I am very excited to! What I also got in Boots is a MUA blush in shade Bubble Gum. I was going to buy the cream blush but when I tried it on my hand, I didn't like it that much so decided to give a powder one a go. I haven't tried it yet as well, but I will definitely let you know how I like it.

The rest of things you see in the photo above are all from Primark (not Penneys, as I actually bought them all in London when I was there last week). The first thing I bought there is a Hamsa hand necklace. I've been looking for something like that for ages, literally (Well, not literally because I haven't even lived one age but you know what I mean). Same thing with those earrings, ages of searching. And I finally got them, at an awesome price (£1,50)! I also decided to give a Primark lip stain a go. I've already tried it and I have to say that I have a love/hate relationship with it. It look amazing on my lips and stays on them for a long time but smells like an actual pen and dries out my lips. But it really looks great, so I'm gonna keep using it! I already regret I didn't buy one or two more because we unfortunately don't have those here in Letterkenny, Ireland.
