OLD BLOG- Product Review: MUA Lipsticks






Everyone loves a  bargain! It's true fact that people won't spend more than they need to... But when it comes to make-up there is high end, middle brand and (as Americans call it) drug store. Make-up brands are placed in order of price and some times you do get the quality of what you've paid for...

But not with MUA lipsticks!

I have been buying MUA (Make-up Academy) products for over a year and I love every product that I have bought. The best part of MUA is that all products are under £7! Which is crazy because some other make-up brands products start at £7. I remember when I first started to buy from MUA every product was £1 but now there is a bigger selection of products, which has lead to some being sold more than £1. Their colour nail polish is still £1, they are honestly the best quality and long lasting. I couldn't ask more from the nail polish especially when they are only cost £1.

 MUA is only sold in Super Drug Uk but don't worry their website sells all of their products and ships world wide http://www.muastore.co.uk/index.php/ 




Most recantly I have bought three lipsticks from MUA shade 5, shade 12 and shade 15 Juicy. 
Overall I love each lipstick! I can't ask for more from the quality to the long lasting finish. They keep my lips soft through out the day and on the lips the colour is true to what the lipstick colour is.



Shade 15 Juicy isn't my usual lip colour! I love and only wear pink lipsticks/ lip glosses. As theses lipsticks are only £1, I bought it as I have nothing to lose...
 It's a nude lipstick with pink as the main colour and doesn't have any glitter. So far i have used it as an everyday lipstick when I'm not wearing too much make-up. Just like the rest of the MUA products I love this! I didn't think I would because its not my usual choice of lipstick but I have wore it a few days and the quality is amazing for only £1.



                                       
Shade 5 is a lovely pretty light pink with shimmer. Again I have no complains about this lipstick, the shimmer is just the right amount to add shine to the lips not doesn't make them look like they're covered in glitter either. The best part about this lipstick (other than the price) is that I'm able to wear it with any make-up look.




Shade 12 is the most eye catching of all three. This is my favourite and the one I have wore the most! The colour is a Barbie pink with shimmer. Don't worry, the shimmer is just the perfect amount, like the shimmer in shade 5. This lipstick does look its best when I have full face make-up because that balances the brightest of the lipstick.

OLB BLOG Product Review: Herbal Essences Sensuously Smoothing Intensive Mask




Hi! For the first time on LipGloss & CandyFloss I'm going to review a hair care product;  Herbal Essences Sensuously Smoothing Intensive Mask. I'll be honest and tell you that I didn't do any research or had read about it on other blogs...I bought it because I have been using Herbal Essences products for about 3 years and I trust the brand and their products.

                                          

                                          


I want to start using more hair care products because I'm going on holidays (3 weeks tomorrow) and want to make sure that my hair will be protected from the sun, the heat and washing it everyday!

 I was shopping in my local Tesco, just buying a few things, when I seen the Herbal Essences Sensuously Smoothing Intensive Mask. The bright orange packaging is very eye catching and hard to miss! It was also on offer from £5 to £2.50: so I thought it was a great time to buy and try using before I go on holidays!

Herbal Essences Sensuously Smoothing Intensive Mask have different masks for different types of hair. I bought 'for dry/ damaged/ fizzy hair' because underneath my hair is fizzy and my hair may become damaged while I'm on holidays. 

The smell is what I love about this product! And the smell stays in my hair for a day or two after its been washed and I've used the mask. On the packaging it says that it includes 'mandarin and pearl extracts' so I'm guessing that's what the smell is... 
I have used the product three times over the space of two weeks and each time I left it in my hair for about 5mins to let it work its magic. After my hair it did feel softer and underneath was a little less fizzy. 

Overall I'm disappointed with this mask because I was hoping that their would be more effect on the overall condition on my hair. I will be using till I buy a new hair mask but I won't be buying this again.
