New In #11 & Beauty #10: MUA Power Pout & Lipstick

So yesterday my mum and I went into town for a little look around and I came home with a few bits from Superdrug. I bought all of this out of my advantage card points that I've been saving up for a while as I had an email the other day saying that my points were due to expire so spend them before they run out. According to the woman who served me, the points do not run out, even if you've had an email and should still be on your cards regardless, but don't take my word on it- ask first! 

Anyway... I've been looking out for some orange and coral coloured lipsticks and knowing how cheap MUA's products are I decided to spend my points testing out their coraly/orange shades. Here's what I got:

MUA Power Pout:

MUA Power Pout: £3 each (On Offer 2 for £4)

First off were these Power Pout lip tint and balm lip crayons in shades #Broken Hearted and #Justify.
In all honesty, they're not as good as other lip crayons I've tried such as the Revlon ones as I feel you need to apply a lot for good pigment. They wear off quite quickly too in my opinion and although they do leave a tinted stain I don't feel like that bright intense pigment last that long, but if you don't mind topping up every now and then they should be fine for you. I wore it for around 1 hour and a half to 2 hours before I felt like I really needed to apply more. When applied generously is does leave you with a nice colour and shine that doesn't feel heavy or sticky on the lips. It's also got that same mint smell like the Revlon lip crayons too.
#Broken Hearted is a raspberry pink shade whilst #Justify is a red toned orange shade.

MUA Lipstick:

 

MUA Lipstick £1 each

Next up was this MUA Lipstick. I already own an MUA Lipstick in Shade 13 which is a gorgeous bright intense red colour and I love how great the quality of this lipstick is for just £1 so being on the hunt for the perfect coral/orange shade for summer I decided to give MUA's other shades a go. I picked up both Shade 15 Juicy and Shade 16 Nectar as they seemed like the colours that were the closest to orange. I am definitely not dissapointed, I LOVE these colours. I'm sooo glad I picked them up. Shade 15 Juicy is more of a peachy orange whilst Shade 16 Nectar is a much brighter shade of orange. These lipstick are very pigmented... like VERY pigmented. They apply so easily and glide on smoothly with lots of moisture and colour. Not only do you get the lipstick but if you twist the bottom off you also get the same shade only in a lip balm. How cool. For £1, they are amazing and dare I say it... even better than most of the more expensive lipsticks I've tried. I would definitely recommend trying these out for yourself!

#5 New In & #1 Beauty: Bourjois Cosmetics

Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover (£4.99), Bourjois Color Boost Lip Crayons in: #1 Red Sunrise & #4 Peach on the Beach (£7.99), Free Sunglasses

This morning has consisted of getting some stuff sorted such as taking my car up the garage, trip to the post office, getting some links taken out of my watch (I have tiny wrists) and sorting out passport forms (it ran out :( ) and that's just to name a few. So whilst I was out sorting all of this out I popped into Superdrug. I initially wanted to get some of the Barry M's gel nail polishes but they didn't have the colours I wanted... and then I spotted the new Bourjois Color Boost Lip Crayon. I love the Revlon lip balm crayons and so when I saw these I thought I'd have a closer look. Superdrug currently have a 3 for 2 offer on and if you bought 3 Bourjois items you get a free pair of sunglasses too. So that was it, I got the Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover (I've heard sooo many great reviews about this I thought it was about time to try it for myself) as well as two Bourjois Color Boost Lip Crayons in colours #1 Red Sunrise and #4 Peach on the Beach.

Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover:

I've not actually tried this yet as I've only just bought it and I don't currently have anything on my nails... I'm giving them a rest for a bit, breathing space and all that, ha. There are plenty of reviews online that other bloggers have done if you want to get an opinion on this though. I might do one later on when I've had a go.

Bourjois Color Boost Lip Crayons: #1 Red Sunrise and #4 Peach on the Beach:

What the product sais:

"A new generation formula that provides a bare lips sensation thanks to its sensory, light and non-sticky texture. With it silk extract formula, Color Boost ensures comfort and hydration for 10 hours*. Plus, it has SPF 15 and Waterproof colour!"

What I think:

I really like these, they glided on so easily with a lot of colour applying. They are very glossy and light, so much so that you don't feel like you're wearing anything and like the product guide said it doesn't feel sticky at all. I can't say anything about wearing it for 10 hours as I've only just got it but we'll see how that goes. And I don't really know if I'd say they were waterproof too because they smudge very easily and wiped off quickly without needing to put any effort it. Regardless, I love the colour on these and the fact that they are light, wearable and glossy as usually my preferred lipstick of choice has a matte finish. It makes a nice change.

These are also another 2 colours to choose from out of this range. I'm not sure if I'd pick them up quite yet as I already have really similar colours from the Revlon range and others but they are still very nice.

Bourjois Promotion Free Sunglasses:

The free sunglasses are a great little addition too, don't you think? And they come in a cute polka dot carry case as well!

Hope you're having a great day, I'm off to do some exercise now, need to get in shape if I'm to get in a bikini if I'm going on holidays!
