MUA Extreme Volume Mascara | Review

Hi there!

I recently went into Superdrug and had a little look around the MUA stand, my local Superdrug is not all too big however I'm glad they have some products from MUA. I intended to buy a mascara and a concealer and that is exactly what I did, both from MUA! There will be a blog review on the concealer soon too, so keep your eyes peeled! I was actually surprised I didn't end up buying more as I know I could spend all my money on that one stand!


At only £2 I really wasn't expecting a lot, but MUA lived up to their standards as usual.


I think what surprised me the most was the size of the brush, I certainly didn't expect it to be able to carry this much mascara. After seeing this I then suspected that it might produce a little bit of a clumpy look, again... I was proved wrong (why do I doubt you MUA?)


Applying the mascara with the wand was easy and super quick. A lot of mascaras I've used in the past have needed endless coats, this was done in about 2-3 which I think is great.



I absolutely love this mascara and remember trying another one from MUA, it was in a silver tube and claimed to curl your eyelashes at the same time due to the shape of the wand. I decided to try a different one purely because I like to try something new. If I was to pick which out of the two from MUA I would choose to buy again, it would be this one.

Extreme is certainly a word you could use to describe the look it can give you, however I decided that today I wanted something not so bold, which is why I applied less that I could have done. I obviously purchased the extreme black shade however they also do have a brown/black shade if you prefer to use that.

Collection Lipstick | Review

Hi there!

Today I've decided to blog about a product which I use daily and absolutely love! Collection have some amazing products and their prices are so cheap compared to a lot of other brands these days that most of my makeup collection is from Collection!

They have many lipstick shades and I have a few of them but Shade 6 Bubblegum is 100% my top lipstick. It took me a while before buying this to actually try out any lipsticks as I always felt a bit silly wearing them, thinking they didn't suit me. However when I did decide I wanted to buy one and make it work, I thought 'hey why not go as bright as you can', so that's what I did!

Excuse the many facial expressions, I was bored of the normal 'look at my lipstick' pose

At £2.99 this is a must have in your makeup collection! I know a lot of people may look and say 'oh no, too bright for me!' but it really doesn't feel like you're wearing a neon/bright pink lipstick, its such a pretty shade! I've left a link at the bottom of where you can buy it (I usually go with Superdrug as I have one of their Beauty Cards haha!)

Not only does it last all day but it also has SPF15 which is a great little bonus!

I'd say if you're not too sure about it at first then just take the plunge and give it a go, if you do decide its too bright then just apply less, its a win-win situation!
