MUA poptastic palette

I love eye shadow palettes and playing with many looks you can achieve with them. I have been playing with MUA's poptastic palette lately. 

The poptastic is a collection of 12  bright colours. A mixture of shimmers and mattes. There is a great mix of colours in this palette perfect for a variety of looks. 

Mine is now a bit battered where I've used it a fair amount wet and dry. 

In usual MUA style the shades are pigmented and beautifully creamy. Normally I find that matte purple shades are awful to work with but the one in the palette is actually rather nice! 

Top row swatched. 

Bottom row swatched

They are beautiful in there own but used over a nice shimmery primer (like sin by Urban Decay) and the colours pop. 

This palette is great for creating a full on colourful eye look or for adding just a pop of colour to the eyes. I love using the greens to add a little something to a neutral eye. Or the golden colours for a bright highlight. 

Just a quick look created with the palette  and Rimmel glam eyes, eye liner in Aqua.

Have you used the poptastic palette? Whats your favourite MUA palette?? Let me know!

Riri Woo Mac

I'm a lip sick junkie and a sucker for a good celebrity collaboration so obviously I had to purchase Riri Woo. I know everyones read about it and seen about it but I had to tell you all about it! I got it as a present to myself for completing my dissertation and it's beautiful!

Riri Woo is based on the classic Ruby Woo but is darker and more of a blue based lipstick.

I have found that Riri Woo isn't as drying as Ruby Woo. Its also more versatile and suits more skin tones. For me its the perfect red and looks so glam when its on. 

This has become my go to red. If your unsure about matte shades you can always use a gloss over the top, just make sure you keep your lips in tip top condition. Use a lip scrub or an old soft toothbrush and gently exfoliate them and use a lip balm. 

This is relaunched next month so I hope if you don't have one you can get your  hands on one! 

What do you think of Riri Woo? Let me know!
