MUA Trio - Chocolate Box

This post is a bit different for me because I don't really own many eye shadows because I rarely wear them! I have recently watched my favourite beauty youtubers talking about this palette so I thought I would try it, what is there too lose? So far I like it:)
This really cheap trio can be brought in Superdrug for £2.50! I have the shade Chocolate Box, but there are some others too:)

Each colour doesn't have a name or number, sorry!

 

Swatched: Top on hand = colour on the right

Middle on hand = colour on the left

Bottom = bottom in the palette :)

My favourite is either the pink or the darkest brown. I find that the middle brown has a slight lilac tone and the least amount of pigment. Nevertheless, I still love this! I use it so that the pink is lightly dusted in the inner 3/4 of my eye and then the darkest colour for the crease which is thoroughly blended! Also I use the darker colour to line my lower lashes and finish off with mascara.

Do you own any MUA eyeshadows?

Barry M Spring Nail Varnishes

The season of pastel nails.
*this is not a sponsored post*
Here are my top 5 nail varnishes that everyone should have for spring! I love the Barry M nail paint collection, and I know they are quite popular with fellow bloggers because of their unique shades, quality and the price. They range from £2.99- £4.99 ( depending on the effect) at Boots and Superdrug.

1. Peach Melba - this colour is quite unique (probably one of my all time favourites) and looks great all through spring and summer. It is very similar to a baby pink shade, however has an orangey- coraly tone to it! I need to repurchase this nail paint this spring because I have only a little bit left, but I was wondering if anyone else knows of a nail varnish very similar colour to this one, I would love to try some others out!

2. Blue Moon - everyone has to have a baby blue in their collection for spring! It has a slight blue shimmer in it, but to be honest I have never noticed it on my nails. This nail paint, and the one above, bth a quite well known with the youtube and blogger beauty comminuty, because they are great for only £2.99! The first coat can be quite sheer, but you can build it up easily with a second coat to make it opaque. I think baby shades look cute on all nail lengths as well as skin tones, so make sure you try it out!

3. Gold Foil Effects - a gold metallic shade looks really nice on toes or as an accent nail colour. It goes really nicely with lots of other colours! It gives a nice opaque coloue with two coats, and with only slight streaks. p.s if you get nail varnish remover on your fingers and touch this lid, the writing and gold colour will come off *whoops*

4. Pink Irridesent - this paint is just amazing. Its base colour actually comes out clear, and it makes an excellent top coat for a bright (or dark) colour! It has flexes of blue, pink, orange purple, green e.t.c and the glitter particles aren't too big to cover the colour underneath (an opaque nail colour with this nail varnish alone is almost impossible). 

5. Silver Glitter - now I am not sure if Boots and Superdrug still stock this, because I got it a little while ago and it was limited edition, but this speaks out for all silver glitter nail varnish. They look great with all colours, or as an accent nail! p.s don't you just love the lid on this, soo sparkly! Also, another way to wear this is to paint your nails with a silver foil paint and two coats of this over the top and it is completley sparkly! wooo



So, thats my post!
Do you have any of the nail paints I featured, or do you have any spring recommendations? I would LOVE to hear all of them xo

See you soon,
