My Thoughts:

MUA's £1 lipsticks have been a favourite of mine for me since I first discovered the brand a few years ago. Their cheap as chips and have pretty great colour pay-off for the price, you could buy all the colours you need (or want!) and not break the bank. What's not to love.

So when I heard they were making Matte Lipsticks (quite awhile ago now...catch up with the times Gem!), I got rather excited. As a lover of bold lips, I know all too well the annoyance of smudged lipsticks, and for me, I've noticed Matte Lipsticks smudge alot less and have great staying power.

So the promise of all that for £1...I had to give them a try. I picked up two colours, which were the ones that appealed to me the most from the selection available in my local Superdrug...so I ended up getting Wild Berry & Scarlet Siren.

The colours are alot more sheer than I had expected, but they can be built up to a more full on colour. And for only £1, that's really not bad. It gives you the choice between having a soft, sheer flush of colour or a full on bold Matte pout.

They dry pretty quick, leaving a gorgeous Matte finish. When their applied sheer, their quite like a stain minus the staining afterwards.

Wild Berry looks scary dark in the tube but it isn't when applied on the lips...it's more of a gorgeous, purple berry colour that looks so pretty. And the red is just stunning, we all know how much I love a red lip.

Overall, their pretty good for the price, not 100% amazing but their really good for the bargain price of only £1.

4.5/5.

Till the next time,

So the other week, I went to another amazing Coventry Bloggers Event,  arranged by the lovely Emily of  The Emily Chapters, this time at the Body Shop in Coventry City Centre.  I'll admit before I went to this event, my knowledge on the Body Shop was limited. I used to always get a gift set from there from an auntie every Christmas and I've followed them on Social Media for awhile now, but it's been awhile since I've tried anything by them. I had misconceptions that they were expensive and out of my price range, but how wrong I was.  Now onto the event itself! Most of us met outside before the event, and I have to give a shout out to these girls. Some of them I've met quite a few times already and some I only first met at the event...but they are all amazing, friendly and encouraging people! They have restored my faith in the blogging community, and that's helping me to grow in confidence as a blogger. When we entered the Body Sh

Christmas is well and truly on it's way...the lights have been switched on, shops are filled with gifts and decorations, mince pies are everywhere you look and christmas shopping is on the to do list! And one of my favourite things to do when Chtistmas shopping, is taking a well needed break with a festive drink and something to eat. And recently, me and a few of the girls from Cov Bloggers were invited down to Esquires Coffee to try their new christmas drinks and food.  When i first entered the shop I was blown away by their attention to detail with the display they had set up. It was the most Christmassy thing I had seen...and made me want to put my decorations immediately... It was gorgeous! And filled with the so many tempting treats for our taste buds. When everyone arrived, it was time to try their Christmas drinks menu. There are three options in their Christmas drinks menu, each just as magical as the other. There is a Golden Flat White, whi

Unashamedly Me.

Coming back to blogging after a such a unexpectedly long break, felt quite frightening if  I'm completely honest. Is anyone gonna still be following? Even if they are, are they gonna be interested in the blog anymore? Have I made it too hard to find changing the name and domain? I must have said 'i'll be back to blogging soon' so many times I've lost count! What makes this time different from all the other times I've said it? One thing that I can definitely say is different, is my attitude to the bad days. The reason my break kept getting extended and extended was because everytime I had a 'off day' or my mental health was bad, I would struggle to write a post even if I had ones planned or I'd just refuse to write at all till I felt better, and then when I did feel better I'd struggle to get my motivation back up because I felt guilty for not posting. So it became a bit of an endless cycle. But this time something has just clicked, pa
