News in makeup | Mua, Sleek, Barry M and Revlon

Okay, so today I had a little bit or a splurge - to add to the one I already had last week.


So, I got the Mua Heaven and Earth Palette, the sleek contour kit in light, and 3 barry M nail paints, 2 gelly high in the colours prickly pear, and greenberry. Then I spotted the limited edition bright green nail paint and just had to pick it up.

This is the Heaven and Earth palette from Mua. I'm a massive fan of neutral and natural tones so this looked ideal for me and a bargin at £4. I swatched some of the colours and some of them are great whilst others are disappointing. Some of the colours have very very slight pigmentation so they are barely visible once applied to the skin - bit of a disappointment.
But the colours that do show up well look lovely, and although without a primer I doubt they would last a huge length of time they do look lovely all the same, and theres a lot to be done with this palette - perfect for on a budget.

 This is the contour kit from sleek. I have heard fabulous things about this and really wanted to try it as my bronzer is running low. When I swatched these, they looked lovely on my skin tone. As I am quite pale I don't want anything too dark which will come up orange or look ridiculous - but this is perfect! The highlighter also has a nice finish and shimmer which adds a brightness. This set was £6.49 which I feel is a massive bargin with the quality of sleek products. This is definitely a favourite of mine!

As For the nail polishes - I am a massive Barry M fan. They have a fantastic range of colours and at a very low price. I love them. After buying the colours Guava and Mango last week I couldn't resist buying 2 more. I cannot rave about these enough. The colour range for the gelly hi shine is a bit limited being a few dark shades and then a lot of bright or pastel colours but the shades they have chosen are wonderful spring/summer colours which I know will be on my nails all the time.
In superdrug at the moment, the limited edition colour was free if you spent over £6 on Barry M products. The limited edition options were the bright green I picked up or a bright pink. These looked great together and both colours are very wearable. I might even be in there again next week to pick up the other colour!

I forgot to include in the photo but I also picked up a Revlon lip butter in Sweet tart. I thought it was a bit risky as It looked like a very bright pink and not at all what I'm used to but on the lips it looked a lot nicer and very wearable. I also love the formulation - It almost feels like I'm wearing a balm. I suggest these to anyone who wants a new lip colour. They are amazing.

Thats all for this time guys, but be sure to subscribe to my youtube channel for more beauty related chatter! Thanks! :)
