Make Up For Ever (MUFE) Aqua Cream Waterproof Colour in 11 Swatch


The number 11 MUFE Aqua Cream is a beautiful olive/golden colour that lasts and lasts and last. Layered under a gorgeous similar tone of gold hue eyeshadow, would make it even more pretty looking.

MAC Satin Taupe Eyeshadow Dupes


MAC Satin Taupe eyeshadow is one of the best seller's of their products. It's a gorgeous brown described as a 'taupe brown with silvery bronze shimmer'. It is a beautiful colour that would suit any complexion.


The most perfect dupes that I found for it are:
  • Max Factor's Earth Spirit eyeshadow in Burnt Bark
  • Make Up Store eyeshadow in Velvet.
Both have a very similar (almost exact) finish/colour pay off as the Satin Taupe. Although, the Make Up Store Velvet is slightly darker than the Satin Taupe.


I have all my MAC eyeshadows depotted, therefore it looks very small in comparison to the dupes here. However, it does not take away from the fact that the MAC shadow contains very very little of the actual product: 1.5g vs the Make Up Store's 3.5g and vs Max Factor's 5g. Which is a substantial difference in the value you get for the exact same quality.

Make Up For Ever (MUFE) Lesson 1 Natural Eyes Kit Swatch



This is a lovely and very useful kit for creating a natural eye look. The kit contains two aqua creams, which are absolutely amazing, in 13 (beige) and 15 (taupe); and two eyeliners in 0L (black) and 2L (brown).


The MUFE Aqua creams are my new favourite beauty products. These really are waterproof and super long lasting, the colour pay off is fantastic, and you only need a tiny bit to create a gorgeous look in no time.

Make Up For Ever Eyeshadow in 166 Swatch



This was my very first MUFE purchase. MUFE seems like a quality brand, so I had pretty high expectations about this, and I was not disappointed at all with this eye shadow.




As you can tell the casing is very simple, but smart and sturdy.


The only thing I don't like about this is that MUFE decided to number their eye shadows instead of naming them like the likes of UD, MAC etc.




I was looking for a very brown, gray shadow for smoking out any look, in order to dramatize it, and this is perfect just for that. It has a super smooth, pigmented consistency that is very easy to apply. If I was going for a very dark, dramatic look I could use it all over the lid, and the outcome is very even from just the first layer.

On the pan it looks like there are a few glitter particles that the camera picked up, however, this is a pure matte to the eye, and when applied.


Overall, this is an amazing quality shadow, that is very versatile for any look you could be going for.

Milani Liquif'eye Metallic Eye Liner Pencil in 01 Black Review


This pencil is everything I wanted from any other eyeliner I tried - smooth and easy to apply, super black, and long lasting. The only point I'm not happy about is the fact that the black gathers around the inner corner

Even the UD Zero couldn't compare to this, however, the new UD Perversion could be very comparable.

Maybelline New York Forever Strong Pro Up to Seven Days Wear in 76 French Manicure Review


Maybelline's French manicure is a perfect natural pink shade. I don't really do a proper French manicure since I hate the hassle of white tips and that, however I do love the pale pink colour of this polish on its own, or even classier with a rhinestone applied.

Essence Fix & Matte Translucent Loose Powder (Perfect Dupe for MAC Prep & Prime Powder!)




I have been using MAC's Prep & Prime powder for a good while and love it, it sets any makeup perfectly for the day!

I came across this in Penney's and when swatched on my hand, it felt ridiculously similar to MAC's Prep & Prime.. So for only 3.99 euro I grabbed one to see if it really was the same thing when setting my makeup.


Well the results are incredibly similar, and it not only sets the makeup as perfectly as MAC's version, it actually made my makeup last way longer than MAC's too. With the MAC, I was getting a dewy forehead/nose by around 1pm, which was fine.. But when the Essence powder, at a fraction of the price, made my makeup last way longer, I sure was left impressed.



Usually cheaper dupes don't always work for me, however this is so amazingly similar and in my opinion, the cheap version is even far superior. As you can see in the above pictures, there is absolutely no difference between the two powders whatsoever.
