MUA Undress Me Too Palette

MUA Undress Me Too Palette £4

The moment I heard about this palette, I knew I had to have it! It's my fourth MUA palette and I probably won't stop there! I was a little late buying the palette as at the time of its release I was on a spending ban! Gutted! When I saw it in Superdrug, I couldn't resist any longer. It's such a bargain at £4 and the similarities to Urban Decay Naked 2 is just much to pass up on. This palette contains a lot more shimmer shades than Undressed but these days, I actually seem to wear shimmery shades more than matte shades. When applying eyeshadow, I usually have both palettes open and I pick and choose between the shades. There are so many shades to choose from and so the many different looks that can be created. It means I can create a different look every day and be a little more creative with my make up while still sticking to neutral shades. I will always be a neutral girl at heart! 

As you can see from the swatches above ten out of the twelve shades are highly pigmented. The other two I use to highlight my brow bone and inner corner of my eye. As usual, the quality is amazing for the price. I use Real Techniques brushes to apply and there is hardly any fall out. It really is a perfect palette. I sing my praises for MUA enough but this is another product that gets a huge thumbs up from me. I recommend everyone to get one. At £4 who can say no? It's worth it even if you just use one or two shades! 

Do you own the Undress Me Too palette? Do you think MUA have created a good dupe?

MUA Heaven & Earth Eyeshadow Palette - Review

MUA Heaven & Earth Eyeshadow Palette

This is the third MUA eye shadow palette that I have purchased. I absolutely love the MUA palettes. They are such a great affordable price but still amazing quality. The other palettes I own are Undressed and Immaculate Collection. Even though I have three, I still have my eyes on one more - Undress Me Too. Undress Me Too is MUA's latest eye shadow palette and although I don't own it, it looks a perfect dupe for Urban Decay Naked 2. It also excites me that this is the first palette that MUA have named all the shades. Does that make me lame?! Since Naked 2 has a steep price tag of £36, I shall be purchasing Undress Me Too very soon as that is priced at only £4! 

Enough rambling - onto Heaven & Earth. This beautiful, beautiful palette contains 12 shades. All 12 shades are shimmery, which actually stopped me from purchasing this earlier. Prior to owning this palette, I always thought I preferred matte shadows. However since I started using this palette, I have been wearing shimmery eye shadows more and more and I have to say I think I've been converted! I prefer neutral eye shadows so this palette is perfect for me. As it contains 12 shades, so many different looks can be created. I love playing with this palette and creating different looks. In my opinion, it's perfect for day time and evening wear. 

The palette comes with a double ended sponge applicator but I prefer applying eye shadow with a brush. I have to admit that with some of the shades there is a little bit of fall out. Although for £4 this is expected and I cannot complain. I use a tissue folded up and hold this under my eye to catch any fall out but you could just use a fluffy brush and brush it away afterwards. Apart from the two lightest shades, all of the other shades are extremely pigmented. Without an eye shadow primer, they still have great colour pay off. The eye shadows are soft, which make them easy to apply and effortless to blend. An amazing palette for an amazing price. Congratulations MUA!
