Haul! MUA and FashionistA + Random Bits

Hi Everyone :)

Few weeks ago I ordered from Make Up Academy (website here) and they have recently started selling FashionistA on their website, and I am trying to make another order right now but there is some problems and it does not finish my order but the money is reserved on my bank account, so I am waiting for a response from MUA and hopefully one more tiny order has been done haha!

AND... this bank Holiday weekend MUA has 30% off on all orders over 15 pounds, just use the code MUA30!

First off I had to try out the new MUA blushers, they are still only £1 but they have new shades, new packaging and they all have names now. I picked up three shades in Marshmallow, Cupcake and Candyfloss

Because I have been loving the MUA lipsticks I picked up three more and I think that will be it for MUA lipsticks, I don't like frosty or glittery lipsticks and I feel like the shades that I don't have do have that sort of finish. But I will talk about that in my MUA lipstick post which I am planning to post soon :)

The Sades that I got were shade 2, 3 and 13.

I had to get FashionistA blushers, I had been reading reviews and for the last month I just have been obsessed with blushers so I got one of the fill it yourself palette and picked 4 blushers (they are on a offer and you can fill your palette for 7 pounds), I am trying to order two more palettes at the moment and also eyeshadow, so I can custimize my palettes more (add eyeshadows and bronzers). But I will DEFINITELY post more about these because they are amazing.

The blushers I got were: Juicy Apricot, Butterscotch, London and Blushing Coral.

How amazing does the London Blush look!?

I ordered these kinda blindly, I did order 4 lipsticks but the fourth was out of stock so they refunded me the money, but I really wanted that one, it was called baby doll pink.

Anyway I really really like these, they are only £1.65 at the moment, What a bargain!

The shades that I got were: Raspberry, Ultra Pink and Natural Pink.

I personally love the packaging! What do you think of red shiny packaging?

That is all I got from MUA, but I really want to make one final order with few eye shadows as well.. so hopefully I can in the next few days

But then Ethan picked up two random items that I really wanted

The new Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeshadow Paint in Rich Russet and MAC Fluidline in blacktrack, I had one ages ago but all my gel liners have dried up so I needed one and this one does not disappoint you.

And hello, Rimmel just keep on bringing out great products!

So that is my haul, it was all very affordable (maybe not the MAC liner). 

I love MUA and I really hope they will sort my issue out so I can order more with the 30% off discount. I will let you guys know how it goes...

Anyway, hope everyone is having a great weekend..

Thanks for reading

Sunday Obsession #2

This week I have been using the same makeup everyday and one item I have been using has surprised me so much.

I was going through all me makeup last week and pulled out few things so I would start to use them. One of the item was MUA blush shade 2.

The colour is so pigmented and you only need a tiny bit, it does blend pretty well. Just make sure to use tiny bit and then build the colour up if you want more.

The biggest surprise was how long the blush lasted on me. I came home at night after work and the colour was still very vibrant on my cheeks.

And the best thing is that the blush is only £1! (203 krónur) Yes MAU is know for their super affordable products and tomorrow (Monday) there will be 50% off everything AND a free international delivery!

All you have to do is follow MUA on Facebook (here) and get the promo code on Monday morning. The reason for this great offer is that they have reach 50.000 likes on Facebook.

The offer will last few days and like I said 50% off everything so the blush will be 50p (102 krónur) and there is international delivery!!

So I am defiantly gonna get few lip liners and lipsticks (they will be 50p each) and probably the undress eyeshadow palette since it is know to be cheaper version of naked 1 from urban decay.

So I want to share the few products I have from MUA.

Two blushers in shade 2 and 4

They are so pigmented, I just touch them once and this is the color pay off.
Great colors for everyday makeup!

I was worried that the packaging would be super cheap but it is surprisingly steady. 

Lipstick in shade 15 (name Juicy) - only £1! 

I bought this color in Superdrug in Camden one day and I really like it. 

The lipstick is very pigmented, there is nothing amazing about this lipstick but still it is very affordable and I will definitely buy some more tomorrow. It has a very flowery scent to it but it does not bother me at all. Overall it is a nice lipstick. 

The packaging is not super sleek but still it is handy that the color of the lipstick is at the bottom so you know what lipstick you are grabbing. 

Two single eyeshadows in shades 24 and 16

As you can see from the photo the one in shade 16 broke!
Anyway I picked these up ages ago and yet again they are a pound each.
The one in shade 24 is a pearl eyeshadow and they have a lot of colors in that range but the one in shade 16 is a matt color and there are fewer colors in the matt range.
However the colors are very pigmented but the light pink matt one (shade 16) is very chalky, I don't know if it is because it broke straight away or not.

Here you can see the colors.
The one on the left is shade 16 and the one on the right is 24.
I do like shade 24 and I think it is a beautiful color to put all over the lid. 

Shade 24

Shade 16 - Here you can see the broken remains, I should  fix it but it is only 1 pound and I don't really think the color is that unique so I am not sure what to do..
The packaging is maybe the reason why this one broke, it is not as steady as the blushers. 

So please check their Facebook page out and do some shopping over the next few days.
I really recommend both blushers and the lipsticks (I am not getting the ones that have the glitter in them, just make sure you look at the photos in a close up).
The eye shadows are very pigmented but do get the pallettes and especially in undressed and heaven or earth.

NYX blush in Angel and FOTD

Last summer I decided to finally get my hands on NYX products, (I already had my jumbo pencil, and an old trio which I nicked off my mum).

NYX is difficult to get here in the UK, but recently NYX opened an online store for the UK, just click here :).

However if you are in Iceland there is a NYX store there, you can find their Facebook page here with details.

So I knew I wanted to get a blush, keep in mind I had to order online without looking at the product myself, so after looking at couple of swatches on other blogs I decided to go with number 03 called Angel.

This is the perfect soft, neutral, pinky peach blush with satin finish. It gives me the most perfect glow. Angel has been my favourite blush for everyday since last summer.

Some reviews online say that the blush has sparkle in it, but I can't notice them at all. Other say that it is too powdery but again, it is a powder blush but when applied it has a satin finish and I do not think at all that it is too powdery.

The packaging is just a simple clear and black plastic, which is just fine with me, (some people don't like it) The blush is a good size to keep in your make up bag. 

I am in love with this blush, I don't have to think when I put it on, Angel goes with almost every make up look! 

The price for the blush is good, in America it is obviously cheapest and it is more expensive in Europe but still cheap, well I don't want to call it cheap so let's call it very good value for money.

I am hoping to order soon again from NYX.

I took couple of photos of my make up today.
