MUA Ever After - Matte Palette | Review ♥

MUA Ever After Palette £4 - Link

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a good weekend! I didn't do very much, I had lunch with James on Saturday and then yesterday, to celebrate the first day of my week off (woohoo!), I had a lazy day! I hope you enjoy today's review, let me know what you think!

I was so excited when I seen the latest addition to MUA's makeup palette range and for only £4 you really can't go wrong! I only ever use matte shadows on my eyes so this palette was exactly what my ever growing makeup collection needed. 

I have read a few negative reviews on this palette, however, I really like it! What I find with a lot of eye shadows is you need to get past the top layer to get to the true colour, once you've done that with this palette, you get highly pigmented and easy to blend colours. 

I love the colour selection, if I was to create my own MAC palette this would be the shade range I'd choose. It ranges from the blackest of black to a very light cream colour, I used the black along with a gel eyeliner for my Halloween makeup last Thursday, it lasted all night and blended perfectly (see makeup below). I use the light and dark brown shades every day now and I am amazed at the different eye looks this little palette can create.

Most days I use 'Fade' along the top of my crease as a light transition colour, followed by 'Penny' on my crease and onto the top half of my eyelid and finally to finish off the look I use 'Truffle' in the outer corner, blending it out evenly into the shade 'Penny'.

October Favourites ♥

Hello(:

I hope you've had a good month! It  has been okay for me, I have been working a lot more but it was all worth it come pay day. I haven't really done much throughout October apart from go to Glasgow shopping with James, it's been a pretty boring month for me! However I have been trying new products and buying new things which are all included in this months favourites!

(Individual item pictures from the top to bottom)

1. Revlon nail polish 'Scandalous' £6.49 - I absolutely love this nail polish! It lasts such a long time and looks amazing on my nails!

2. Barbara Daly lipstick 'Sugar Candy' £9 Tesco - For me this is the perfect lipstick for autumn/winter, it is such a lovely purple shade and it matches everything!

3. Ren Global Protection Day Cream Sample(Free in InStyle mag, part of a 3 piece set) - I have loved using this sample throughout this month, it smells absolutely amazing, it sinks into my skin quickly, leaving it feeling revived and soft. 

4. Revlon Colorstay Foundation 110 ivory £12.49 - This is my new favourite foundation, as some of you may know, I have super pale skin and it's hard to find foundation that matches me. I find this foundation to be very very close to my skin tone and it lasts all day! I love it, I will be doing a full review on it very soon!

5. MUA Matte Palette £4 Superdrug - I am so happy MUA have brought out this palette, I only ever use matte shades so now that they have an entire palette dedicated to them, I am very happy! The shades are very pigmented and blend together perfectly. I will be doing a full review on this in the near future too!

6. Head Case HTC One X phone case eBay £5.49 - I don't know if this phone case will be to everyone's liking, but I love it, I think it is very me! I find it cute, however, James doesn't. It is perfect for the Halloween season but I can tell I will use it all year round, it protects my phone well and it arrived within a couple of days of purchasing it, I bought it from this eBay seller, they do lots of other designs too!

7+8 TARTAN! I always love a bit of tartan at this time of year but this year I've become far far too patriotic! I have loads of new tartan pieces, even the pyjamas I'm wearing right now are tartan! The scarf on the left is from Primark for £4 and the one on the right is from one of the many highland shops in my high street for £6, I love both of them, they are very cosy and on trend!
