Dupe // MUA for MAC?

• While I was swatching my pink, fuschia lipsticks yesterday I spotted this really similar one and I was too excited not to tell you guys so here it is!

•  MUA Shade 3 and MAC cremesheen in Lickable.  

                                            

•Both swatched: the top one is MAC and bottom is MUA.

• I know they look a tad different swatched but when they're put on your lips they look very similar!      

•MUA Shade 3 here for only £1 here, you'd be crazy not to try it!   

                 

 •MAC Cremesheen in Lickable here for a pricey £15.

•The MUA is definately more creamy texture which I prefer as it's easy to apply. The MAC one is very distinctive blue undertones and it does have more 'staying put time' on your lips but really I prefer the MUA one as it's waaaay cheaper and easier to get so definately try MUA out as they're so cheap and an amazing brand!

Bronzing Babes.

• So now we're getting into the sunnier times (hopefully) and putting on some fake tan to make us look a bit more sun-friendly and pretending we have somewhere to go, we need to match our pale faces to our bodies, so as some people are pretty heavy handed when it come to bronzing and contouring the face I thought I'd pick some easy (mostly cheap) bronzers for helping you to get your holiday/summer glow!       

                                               

 • Bourjois Chocolate Bronzer: This came out last year and they're was quite a bit of word about it because it 'smelled like chocolate' and has lovely packaging. Unfortunately this only comes in two shades 51&52. At first look it looks to be matte but there is a tiny hint of shimmer but hardly noticeable. I love using this all over the face and it's so easy to wear.  

                              

 • ELF Contour&Blush Duo: In St.Lucia I have done a review here on this but this or I definately for people who like a noticeable dark colour on their faces.      

   

 • Topshop Highlighting Illuminator is a "gift" from my sister in which I just took it cause it looked pretty. This is quite sheer on but it's more of a highlighting bronzer, so I'd just use this on the top of my cheekbones and jawline, a nice touch of colour and perfect for highlighting your cheekbones!                                             

  

   • Benefits Hoola Bronzer mini: My absolute favourite. This is a matte light brown and it's so pigmented. I'm really glad I got the mini of this to test out so I can maybe save up for the big one, who knows?! But seriously for fair skinned people this is an easy step to start contouring, I love this for contouring and it  makes it so much easier.        

•What's your staple piece for bronzing/contouring? X             

Small Haul // Skincare bits.

• If you remember me posting my skincare wishlist here then you'll know what I was looking to get and with the money I had left I FINALLY got 3 new skincare bits and I am so happy, good skin makes me happy, ok?


                          

 • So I ordered 2 online last week and they both came yesterday so I was really excited!! I'm not going to review them as I haven't had them long enough but I'll keep you updated! The one thing I did actually go out to buy was the 'La Roche-Posay Toleraine' moisturiser. And for extra brownie points if you remember that I wanted the Toleraine Riche one so I picked up just Toleraine instead. I've been using this already an have seen a difference in how my makeup even stays on my face it doesn't cling to dry patches so it must be doing something right!                               

  • So as I was browsing Pai's website I thought 'just get it' and I did. I got the 'Pai Rosehip Oil' because of Gh0stparties recommendation. It has the strangest smell but goes away after applying and it's such a cool colour, it makes my skincare basket more colourful!                                                

  • Last thing I bought was REN Clarifying Toner because  I've never used a toner *don't kill me* and EVERYONE goes on about this and if you buy something of the REN website you get two mini samples free! What's not to like?! The two samples I got was the Daily Moisturiser an the Pore Detox Mask which I'm really excited to use!    

          

• As you can tell I'm so excited to use these and hopefully they'll help me skin so then I can do a skincare routine soon, maybe. Who'd like to see? X
