Hi Beauties,
So lately i have been bored and you know what that means..... Playing with makeup. I opted to do something different that was a bit bold. I pulled out my Undressed palette from MUA which is an exact dupe for the most popular Naked palette from Urban Decay. This palette is an exact dupe and offers a much cheaper alternative, it costs £4 whiles the naked palette is £35. What an amazing bargain! Below is a breakdown of the products and technique used.

Hi Beauties,

So i happen to purchase some items from pakscometics online and when i received my order, a free copy of the Black Beauty and Hair magazine was included in the order. Yayyyyyyy (who loves freebies as much as i do????) lol! Anyways, i was immediately drawn the cover of the magazine which features a model with gorgeous makeup and flawless skin. I was staring it for days and said to myself, i can do that?! So i grabbed my makeup brushes and set off to work.

Over the past queen's jubilee weekend, MUA, MakeUp Academy, a drugstore brand in the UK, had some discounts on their new lipstick line Lip Boom. This line is as a result of a collaboration between the feisty musician Alexandra Burke and MUA. I had been meaning to get hold of some some of the lippies as they are Gorg-E-Ous! So when i chanced upon the 2 for £4 offer, i couldn't resist but grab it.

So i ordered the 2 shades i had eyed from the launch which was LMK (Let Me Know) and It's A Situation. Both lippies are double end tubes with a super glittery highlighting gloss at one end and a matte lipstick at the other end. The lippies are quite moisturizing and wear well on the lips. Did i say how amazing it smells? Sort of chocolate and vanilla, hmmmm! I was looking to get more vampy lippies when MUA released the Lip Booms so it was definitely a hit for me. Both shades are dark colours and i believe would suit any skin tone. I am eyeing two other shades OK.COM, a nude beige, and Cheeky, a nude pink.
