Hi girls,

After I saw swatches of MUA eyeshadows on Carlotta's Beauty Spot, I had to have some! Especially when they are £1 and you can get extra 25% discount when filling a feedback form at Superdrug website! I bought some polishes too :)

So here are the shades I bought:

  • Shade 20 (matte black)
  • Shade 17 (matte beige)
  • Shade 19 (matte dark brown)
  • Shade 8 (pearl turquoise blue)
  • Shade 1 (pearl champagne)

I was pleasantly surprised with the pigmentation which is very good. They blend nicely too, I've used them so far in one makeup look and I'm happy with them. For £1 you get a great value for your money. They don't make huge range of shades right now but there are basic shades like matte black, shimmery champagne, forest green, very similar colour to MAC Blue Brown pigment (!) etc.

MUA products are available in Superdrug.

Hello :)

I've recently purchased this KIKO eyeshadow #174 in Westfield Stratford store and I've decided to do a short review and makeup with it. It's a warm taupe colour with pearl finish but it's not too shiny.

It is nice size eyeshadow (3g) for £3. The pigmentation is very good and it didn't crease on me for whole 7 hours I had them on. Well I generally don't have problem with creasing as I have dry skin so I cannot guarantee that it won't crease on oily skin. It blended nicely and I will definitely try to pick few more shades (it will be hard though because they have looooots of shades!).

Eyeshadow comes in black box with hole so you can see the shade, something like MAC box only bigger.  The packaging is shiny black case with transparent lid and each eyeshadow has embossed word KIKO in it. I like this little detail.

 

And I did a quick makeup with this eyeshadow...nothing crazy, just nice day makeup :) For this look I've used Too Faced Shadow Insurance, MUA Shade 1 (champagne pearl) , KIKO 174 and a bit of MAC Carbon. As eyeliner I've used MAC Blacktrack.
