Heaven and Earth Review


M.U.A are well known for their unbelievably cheap makeup. The whole range starts from £1.00; this brand is pocket money priced! As part of one of my birthday presents I got given this palette as well as a few more from M.U.A; this however is my favorite - its more of an every day color range as everything tends to go with the colors in this neutral palette.

Top row.

The pigmentation of each and every color is remarkable. Just a mere swipe will create a vivid metallic shade on your brushes. Some shades are a lot higher than others however they all have amazing pigmentation unlike a couple of shades from the Immaculate palette also from M.U.A. 

The most unusual color of the whole palette is first  the first on the right of the top row (pictured above). It is extremely bronze and although this type of color is so regally seen never one with such a coppery bronze tone to it!

Bottom row.

As you can see this palette is very neutral as are many popular eye-shadows today. The most well known in the Beauty World is Urban Decay's Naked palette. In this video Holly compares the Heaven and Earth Palette to the Naked Palette; and the colors in the £4 palette to the same standard and shade as the £36 palette!

What do you think of M.U.A? Do you like cheap and cheerful or do you prefer to pay for qaulity?

Gold Reflects

All from Topshop

For me Topshop have really hit the mark and above this autumn. Everything is up to date and I'm especially in love with their shoes this year. They've really gone to town! I've made a couple or great buys in there and am now hoping to spend a lot more! I put together this outfit after looking around the website for hours upon end!

I started off with a statement jacket and for £60.00 this one is perfect! Everything else was kept simple with either black or gold and accessories were kept minimal. Normally I would have put no jewelry to this outfit however as a bralet is being worn which rests low on the body and something is needed to break this up . It is cold outside and this outfit seems very revealing however the skater skirt is high waisted and therefore there will be no reveal of flesh between the skirt and the bralet; if it gets extra chilly just add a pair of tights. The belt in-between the skirt and top breaks things up a little more and adds to the golden bling!

This outfit isn't very casual however each item individually could be worn out and about during 'everyday' life.

What do you think of Topshop this season? Are they all that glitters or just a bit of a let down?
