A quick MUA NOTD in 'U Rok' Love Hearts Nail polish

 So here we have MUA's 'U Rok' (11) polish from the Love Hearts Collection.

It's such a pretty blue toned purple/lilac periwinkle colour. (I'm great at describing things right?)

It cost £2.00 for 6.8ml.

It took me two coats to get a nice even opaque finish, with one it was pretty good but ever so slightly uneven and streaky.

 Any recommendation for top coats that are amazing and help your polish last longer than a couple of days?

MUA Purchases: lipstick 6,7 and Hot Lips swatches

I heard about MUA  a while ago but I thought...it's so cheap...it can't be that good right?! Oh how I was wrong...after reading numerous blog posts I had a little spending spree online..

Some is for a future giveaway and some for a swap I'm doing!

Here's what I got for me..

 I'll do posts about the nail polishes and how they look on nails soon!
So first of all I got the 'Hot Lips' lip balm from the Love hearts collection. This cost £2.00 for 10g

I have rather pigmented lips so I decided to choose the darkest coloured lip balm out of the five and this one is gorgeous! In the pot it looks like a  gorgeous berry pink and smells like vanilla. (I adore vanilla scents!) On my lips it gives a nice berry pink tint and is moisturising.
Next the lipsticks..

I love that you can take off the little ends and there's some lipstick in them, not sure if this was intentional or not as I couldn't get it off the other lipstick.
I got lipstick shades 6 and 7 they were £1.00 each. (Not sure why there's a difference in size hmm)

 However 6 was a mistake, I originally ordered number 11 which looked like a lovely nude, I was excited to try it as I lack nude lipsticks in my collection but I was sent the wrong one.
But no worries Shade 6 turns out to thankfully be a pretty mistake, it's a nice pinky colour, quiet like MAC's Hot Gossip! Hot gossip to me has more purple undertones where as 6 does not making it a lighter pink with shimmer.
Shade 7 is a nice coral (my first coral lipstick!!) which also has a little shimmer. I normally don't like shimmery make up at all but with these lipstick's you can barley notice it, it just adds a little depth.

 L to R Shade 7, Shade 6 and Hot Lips

I wouldn't say the lipsticks are entirely on par with MAC's £13.50 lipsticks but damn their pretty good for a £1.00.. moisturising, pigmented, simple classy packaging and nicely scented...what more could you want?! I will be trying some more MUA in the future for sure... as so far I'm super impressed!
You can get your hands on these products from Superdrug or MUA site who ship internationally too.
Have you tried MUA? What is your favourite product so far?..

Free Neal's Yard moisturiser - Marie Claire

Just a quick heads up, in the latest magazine Marie Claire are giving a 45ml 'Rehydrating rose daily moisturiser' it's for normal skin and worth £12.00.

 I'm sure most of you already know but I didn't! I have also been wanting to try Neal's yard for a while now so this is the perfect opportunity although I have Normal/Combination skin so we'll see how this go's!
Has anyone else bought this?

Recent purchases Garnier, H&M, Naked, The Body shop

I'm trying not to shop much as I want to save up but as I'm doing a swap with the lovely Andrea of course I keep seeing thing's I want! Here's what I have picked up recently...
 H&M 'Lipgloss' £1.99
More of a lipbalm in my eyes but how cute is the packaging?! I'm clearly a sucker for cute packaging. Smells like a typical cherry balm. They also have orange and apple flavours too.

Body Shop Rainforest Moisture Hair Butter RRP £8.00
Pretty much a conditioning treatment. It's eco concious, containing no silcones, colourants and parabens and is full of pracaxi oil, manketti nut oil and honey.
I will do a blog post about this in the future as I'm loving it!

 Naked 2 Palette RRP £36.00 but I got mine on offer.
This was one of those compulsive purchases, I'm sure I'll be making use of it more than the first one as I like the colours in this palette better.

 Garnier 2 in 1 Make up remover and toner. I got them for 2 for £4 as I had money to spend after returning my Collection 2000 concealer (oh how I wish they had more colours). These are currently on 3 for 2 in boots. I got them as sadly my Bioderma cleanser is running low.

Annnnd that's about it! Well I do have some thing's from Zara but I need to figure out how to capture the prettiness of them. What have you been buying lately?
