NOTD: Nail of the Day: MUA Love Hearts

This is the first time I have tried on this colour since I got it by the very generous people at Superdrug in my goody bag at the Superdrug press event.
Now, ok. Let me address a major problem I have with this right now: the formulation. Considering that I have never even opened this before, I know this has not dried up or anything. The application is VERY streaky to say the least!
Anyway, I managed to apply maybe two or three coats PLUS my top coat (That save the day!)
It ended up looking great ofcourse, but I know I will think twice if I want to apply this again.
Was looking forward to a summery colour :(

So here it is:

NOTD: Nail of the Day - Aztec by Accessorize

The two shades in the nailpolish

NOTD: Nail of the Day - Andrea Fulerton

These beautiful nails were done for me by the lovely Angela at the Superdrug preview event (detailed blogpost coming soon. Theres so much good stuff to share!). Andrea is a freelance manicurist and nail technician who was representing the Andrea Fulerton brand and I was lucky enough to get a complimentary manicure.
The shade is called Julia and the glitter is from the Glitter puff dust box set.
I love it because it is so elegant and fun at the same time.

NOTD. The Nailpolish and Glitter puff dust.

My manicure after 3 days:

Hope you liked these nails, I sure love them and so far they havent really chipped either.

Collective Drugstore Makeup Haul: MUA, Accessorize and ELF

My ELF order arrived yesterday (just stocking up/trying new stuff) and I also went for a random shopping trip just to look around and ended up buying some stuff. So without further ado, lets jump right into it!

I have been wanting to buy this Accessorize nailpolish for AGES now and I thought Im gonna go for it this time and I did! So in LOVE with this. I have no idea how to describe it but it has shades of purple and green in it. Reminds me of petrol for some reason. Obviously a proper NOTD post will come soon!

Accessorize nail polish in Aztec - £4 from Superdrug

So far I only tried MUA (Makeup Academy) lipsticks and found them to be VERY moisturising and long lasting (putting aside my gripe with the colour range) so I decided to buy some other products to try.
Looking through the eye pencils, this beautiful Royal Blue shade immediately caught my eye but once I swatched it, I KNEW I had to buy it because it went on SO soft and smooth with a rich colour pay off. Will definitely be going back and checking out more colours.

MUA Intense Colour Eyeliner in Royal Blue from Superdrug £1

Another MUA purchase with a brilliant colour pay off.

MUA Blusher in Shade 3 from Super drug £1

If you follow ELF cosmetics on their facebook page (they usually have lots of offers), they recently had a 30% off code and I thought it was a good time to stock up and also try some new things.

This Shimmering Facial Whip was a first time purchase and my first impression is that its a bit too shimmery for my skin tone. I might be using this for highlighting on the brow bone or at the top of my cheekbones.

ELF Shimmering Facial Whip in Pink Lemonade - £1.50

So far I have not had a bad experience with ELF makeup brushes so I thought I would add another one to my collection. This is VERY soft and perfect for the purpose.

ELF Professional Blending Eye Brush - £1.50

I have raved about the ELF HD Powder in the past and this was a repurchase (I'm gonna say maybe the 6th?)

ELF High Def Powder - £6

 I got a bit curious about this powder foundation and thought it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. Swatches and review will come soon.

ELF Personal Blend Foundation in Medium - £7
