| Here are all the items i bought today :) you'll soon learn i'm a sucker for the MUA products, especially the things from the new range! from left - right Rimmel London wake me up foundation in 100 ivory MUA mosaic blush in English rose 'shade 3' MUA new line of nail varnish in the colour Koala bear (how cute its that name!) MUA single eye shadow in shade 12 Pearl   |
Rimmel London 'wake me up' foundation is always the talk of the town - personally My favorite products from the Rimmel London range are their foundations and cover ups (match perfection concealer is perfect under the eyes and on the brow bone) so i was definitely eager to try this foundation but for some reason I haven't had time to go out and buy it, but this is it i can't put off trying it now!
Above is just a swatch of what the product looks like on my skin - i have pale skin so i have to go for the lightest shade they have which is 100 ivory, unfortunately the only downside to the Rimmel products is that even though this is the lightest shade, they always seem slightly orang-y and dark on my skin which is why i have to blend it out. Nevertheless i am excited to use this product and will be posting my thoughts on a later date!
The next product I picked up was the first from the MUA range. Again this product was something I have had my eye on for awhile and I really wanted to buy it but I kept telling myself I didn't need it. However i purchased it today, and at just £2.50 i'd say that is a bargain!
English rose shade 3 is a gorgeous shimmery pink shade, at first glance it looks like a series of matte colours, but when i swatched it i found out that it was a soft pink shimmer colour, which of course i fell in love with! I always love multi-purpose products and know this is going to look amazing with a summery look. 
The next item I picked up was another MUA product, about a couple of months ago now I picked up the MUA Undressed me two palette which is part of their new range. Its been highly likened to the Naked palette 2 from Urban Decay and therefore I thought i would try it for myself seeing as i'm on a budget and can't really afford to splash the cash on one of them. I was pleasantly surprised when I picked the palette up for 3/4 pounds and it was AMAZING. The colours are all various shades of nudes and there is about 3 matte shades, with the rest shimmery and beautiful. Not only are they lovely colours but HIGHLY pigmented which is crazy considering the palette cost less than a pair of shoes from Primark! So i wanted to set myself a challenge to see if their older range is of the same quality. Therefore (sorry after that massive rant) I decided to pick up one of their £1 single eye shadows, and when i saw this amazing shimmery, grey/blue with green specks in it (sorry pants description i know) i thought 'I have to have this!' and for a pound you cant go wrong, so again very excited to try this product! |

| Lastly I purchased something from MUA's new range which is one of their £1 nail varnishes. I was so excited to try this product, I think this is the one i have anticipated the most! I have a slight obsession with Nail polishes and will not cheat on my lovely Barry M but...I had to try this product, and needless to say they are obviously popular because when i got to the Superdrug in my town centre there were only a couple of shades left, but i didn't really mind i wanted a nude-y/grey colour anyway so this was a perfect purchase for me. |

| I am also slightly obsessed with funky names for things, so it was an added bonus that it was called something so cute like Koala bear! So there you have it, those are all the items i bought today, i was so eager to show you guys so I am very sorry that i have not been able to post my thoughts on them yet but i promise i will once I have tried them out.
