Things you discover on a Blog Hop

I barely count myself as a fatshion blogger let alone a make-up one, however I do love reading beauty blogs, I have posted the odd make up post and over the weekend there was a 

#bbloggers Weekend Blog Hop #1

I did post my link, hope no one minds, with that in mind I thought I’d do some make up posts. I did a NOTD post. 

In my hopping I did see this Barry M Lip paint I spotted it on Laura's Blog. I spotted it initially on her post Forgotten Finds  then I clicked through to read her initial post on it. 

I do remember another magic lipstick that was about a couple of years ago and I can’t remember what brand it was. I do remember me and 3 friends all trying it before a night out and ooo’ing about it. I never did get round to buying one for myself.

This one appealed to me as its Green, not only is green one of my favourite colours it also has that shock factor, while I don’t really like drawing attention to myself I do want this to be noticed.

My initially reaction is that I love it, my lips go a quite subtle natural pink colour, as mentioned by many other people it is more of a lipgloss type texture but it is long lasting and for me who is not really  make up wearer a nice compromise.

This has found a place in my daily work make up – at the moment it is the only item

I Love Barry M packaging

The Details 

OOOO green. 

I am planning on taking some pictures of me wearing this but I haven't got round to it as yet.

One more point on the #BBlogger Blog hop is, be careful of some of the links especially around the 70-80 numbers as I’ve managed to infect my work computer with some potential threats and I did notice one of the links it opened was to a dirty video that wouldn't close.

I know there is no real way to monitor these beforehand but I’d recommend running an antivirus scan on your computer if you have been clicking on the links.

Saying this I would really like to see another Blog Hop organised

MUA Make-up Review

I've been hearing a few good things about MUA Make up recently and I follow them on twitter after seeing a retweeted post about national lipstick day.

My favourite day time lippy is an MUA one and to be honest i hadn't really taken much notice of which brand it was (i think my mum might have bought it and i acquired it!) they replied to a tweet i sent to them really quickly and i was quite impressed at the level of customer interaction, so much so i called in to superdrug on my way home from work. See twitter and interacting really can pay off!

I got a nail varnish for £1. i have just included it on the NOTD post. a lovely sage green colour, and i'm pretty impressed. TBH, i don't buy expensive brands, i have a few Nails Inc polishes but the majority of these where in a set i got from TJ Hughes (RIP) or free from Magazines / Diet Coke offers. 

Shade 23 £1

 I also got a lipstick for £1.00 the colour is called Bare and it really is, i loved it at first sight but now i'm not so sure. i think i will be good for work

Shade 11 or 14  Bare £1.00

 i also got a foundation, i really struggle with foundations and even after having a chat with make up counter peeps i never seem to find the right one. the testers in superdrug had had their numbers worn off, but i guessed this was the colour i'd tried and i feel its one of the best foundation matches i've had for a while. My skin is a bit spotty at the moment and i provided cover but i don't feel all clogged up at the end of the day.

Shade 3 Gentle Fawn £2.00

have you used MUA?

PS, i bought all products and this is my own opinion, I've not been asked to write this review xxx
