MUA Power Pout Review!
Hellooo! :)
I am a huge fan of MUA products ever since I purchased their heaven and earth eye shadow palette, which I think is amazing for £4 the colour pay off is exceptional! I think it's a must have especially if your a newbie to eye shadow and you just want to experiment without paying an arm and leg.
Anyway back to the product I'm supposed to be reviewing haha. I was in Superdrug the other week when I spotted these new lip products, obviously I was instantly drawn to see whether they were any good and I was really impressed. I heard about these types of products from other brands like the Chubby Sticks by Clinique or the Revlon Kissable Balm Stain but as I didn't want to pay a whopping £17 per stick I thought I'd try the cheaper version.
They have 6 colours to chose from, and they vary from nude to a coral to a berry shade which for me is ideal as I think these shade are great for any skin colour. As for the texture and colour pay off I feel they are good quality and not tacky/sticky. They have a minty taste, which is always a bonus, and they are very moisturising. They also have a glossy appearance and stay put for a few hours.
As for packaging, it is quite disappointing to be honest, the tube which the product is in is completely fine. However, the lid always slips off in my make up bag which damages the lip balm. Also in some of my sticks the lip balm is quite loose, as if it has melted a little and wobbles around which is quite annoying.
Apart from that I love these products, and for £3 you really can't grumble! They are still available in Superdrug on the MUA counter so grabs your hands on some and try them out yourself!

No7 Review
I have never really indulged into No7 products, because I thought for a Boots own brand it was quite expensive especially as you can get similar products elsewhere for a much cheaper price. Anyway the other day I was minding my own business in Boots just having a gander around the beauty sections when this flamboyant man came prancing towards me flapping a leaflet saying "come and get your foundation colour matched today!" I was like oooh why not...
So I went and he put this handheld machine/console towards my face it bleeped a few times and then that was it it figured out my skin colour and linked a foundation to match! A pretty nifty gadget really. Just to add they have over 17 skin colour foundations available so whatever skin colour you are they will have a foundation to match you.
I was the colour shade "Calico" which to add is the lightest shade possible, I really need a tan so I don't look as pale :( but it was a perfect match. I was really impressed. He was really nice and made me laugh quite a bit because whilst he was putting the foundation on my face he was saying he was trying to get the woman behind me as she looked like a tangoed umpa lumpa LOL!
He also showed me how to apply bronzer which was a great help because that is the one thing I really struggle with... I turn out like I have been in the mines digging out coal.
Obviously he was trying to persude me into buying the product saying it is a premium brand etc... I was a bit hesitant whether to buy it because it was £14 which compared to Mac or Benefit is really isn't much but I couldn't resist especially with a free £30 goody bag if you buy any two products, so you could buy two nail polishes for £6 each and get the goody bag too!
I usually use the Rimmel "Wake Me Up" foundation in "true ivory" however now looking at the No7 colour liquid and the Rimmel colour liquid you can really see the difference No7 looks like a skin colour and Rimmel looks far too orange.
I can now say I've converted into using No7 products! They still have the goody bag offer available until Tuesday 6th August.. which is tomorrow so quick get yourself into Boots and get your freebies!

| I must say I am very impressed with the range and sizes of samples given, the mascara is amazing. Within the goody bag you get: - a pearly pink eyeshadow
- a "coral kiss" lipgloss
- a triple protection tinted moisturiser
- a mascara
- and finally a "airbrush primer"

An Update
Hello Everybody!
Sorry about the lack of posts recently (or should I say for the past few months aha) I have just been dabbling away doing bits and bobs and time has just flown by! And before I know it we are in August, I don't even know what I have done with my Summer....
On the plus side, I am going to V FESTIVAL :D yayyyy! I recently bought my sleeping bag,wellies and raincoat so bring on the rain and whatever a festival has to offer. I cannot wait to finally see Beyonce at my first ever festival too! I am just in love with her.. there we go I've said it.
Since my last post on the 21st January...I told you time has flown by, I have finally found a new job at a pub which I absolutely love, I feel like I have a little family there, everyone is so lovely and I am working with my best friend Emily Dodman. Get ready for the plug now, she also has a blog so if you have any spare time please feel free to check it out it's anoverheatednorthwestbliss.blogspot.co.uk it is really good :)
Surprisingly I did well in my Uni exams and managed to get a 1st :D I don't have a clue how I managed that I call it a fluke but I am not complaining.
Things coming up...
I am finally going abroad after 4 very long years, I am off to sunny Spain for 3 weeks so I should hopefully get a tan before I go back to Uni. I am very excited because I am visiting a part of Spain where my grandparents used to live so it will be like a big reunion with everyone that I met many moons ago! Plus it is an amazing excuse to carry on my shopping addiction :D
You have reached the end! Well Done :D but honestly thank you for reading an update on my life and if you have any suggestions for future posts please comment below and I will happily take them on board :)
