My dad is in the hospital again and i'm spending time with him after i'm done with work and also the care for Luna takes more time now .
I have a week off now , so i have some extra time to do some fun stuff . It helps me to relax a bit of all the misery that's going on in my life
Sorry for my lack of commenting on all your posts lately , but i do read them though !
Love these bright colors ! They are super pigmented and they blend like a dream . Slowburn , Savage , Jilted and Urban are not supposed to use around the eye area because they could give some irriration , but i haven't noticed any irritation at all on my quite sensitive eyes :)
And i think this warning is only indicated on the USA palettes , because i couldn't find it on my palette . But i think it has to do with the FDA has not tested these for the eye area or something like that . We don't have this issue in Europe . I bought mine at Beautybay.com which is located in UK .
I really enjoy this cream liner . Don't take too much at once on your brush or it will look a bit messy . It's also hard to make a crisp line when your are using too much product at once . But with the right amount , it's fabulous !
It's smudgeproof , once it's set it won't go anywere during the day . It's not fully waterproof though , i would rather say it's water-resistant ,and it also works quite well on the waterline . It's a truly deep black cream liner . I wish that the formula was a tiny bit more creamier , but with the right brush it's a great liner ! It works best with a synthetic brush , angled or a real liner brush . I used it with a Real Techniques Fine Liner Brush and that works great .
A new favorite eyeliner pen ! It's a liquid formula with a shiny finish ! Comparable with Phisicians Formula 2in1 EyeBooster Eye Liner or Stila's Stay All Day Liquid Waterproof Eye Liner Pen . The tip is very fine and flexible enough which makes it easy to create a beautiful winged liner . The pigmentation could be a tiny bit better in my opinion . Once it's set the liner won't budge during the day , but i would not say it's really waterproof ...
Also this palette is so much fun ! The pink color "Monaco" is similar , if not an exact dupe , to "Totally Fetch" from the Pretty Rebel palette , so i would love to see a different kind of pink instead of this one . This palette has no matte shades , so i wish one of the 3 lighter shades was a matte one . The colors are very pigmented and very blendable . The coppy shade "Cannes" is a bit chunckier and harder to work with , but if you apply it wet it's very nice ! Also "De La Mer" could be a bit more pigmented , but the color is buildable.
It's perfect for a dramatic look or a more wearable look , it's up to you :)
The Extreme Metallic palettes from MUA are gorgeous ! The pigmentation could be a bit better , but hey for 4,59€ i can't complain ! The colors are buttery soft and they blend very well . And if you use them wet , the metallic finish will be even more metallic !
These palettes do remind me of the Sleek palettes . Especially the "Undressed" palette looks similar to Sleek's Storm palette , but it's not an exact dupe . While the Storm palette has a burgundy , a dark green and dark blue and some more darker browns , has this undressed palette more coppery toned shades.
Anyways , i like the shimmery finishes but i don't like the mattes . The shimmery ones are very smooth and pigmented . The mattes are not pigmented at all and very hard to use . But again for 5,99 € i can't complain and overall i really enjoyed these palettes lately . I have used them daily for just a neutral eyelook .
My favorite out of these 2 is the "Undress Me Too" palette .
Great intensity of the UD colors :o) Xx

OMG, I'm so jealous! The electric palette really looks fantastic and I know I WILL get the A la mode palette, freaking love the hot pink and the two rows of neutrals! Glad you liked the MUA palettes, the mattes aren't pigmented but the shimmery shades are lovely! I WANT the undress me too but is it anywhere near a dupe for the Naked2?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHaha :) I think you will love the A La Mode palette :)
VerwijderenYes the Undress Me too is a good dupe for the Naked 2. The colors are almost identical . I'm going to do a comparison between those 2 palettes , as well as for the Undressed palette and Naked 1 .
I love the A la mode palette and the electric palette... STUNNING is the only word I can come up with to describe them properly :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenReally wonderful goodies sweetie :)
