FOTD: Boardmaster's Festival

So I'm going Boardmasters festival today and I thought I'd do a quick fotd, I've gone very natural, with just a slight shimmer. 

For my base I started with my Miss Sporty Liquid concealer in 001 light (which stupid me forget to include in the photos sorry) just to cover up a few blemishes I have at the moment, I then went on use my Rimmel Match Perfection foundation in 100 ivory; I set this with Natural Collections Loose powder in neutral translucent. On top I added a light dusting of e.l.f's blush in peachy keen to the apples of my cheeks; this has a gorgeous shimmer in it that picks up the light and almost highlights your face, although saying that this blush is quite sheer so you have to build it a little.

Onto my eyes I have really been loving using my MUA Undress Me Too palette, for everyday I have just been sweeping on the shade Shy all over my lid, it gives a nice shimmer without being to much and is a lovely champagne-y nude. Today I (attempted to) put a hint of e.l.f's brown shade from the butter pecan duo I bought recently, just to contour my eyes slightly more and add a bit of colour. Just to line my eyes I used my Maybelline gel liner, I really love how easy this is to use and how versatile it can be. For my lashes I used my Estee Lauder Double Wear lengthening mascara and a quick top coat of my Maybelline le colossal volume mascara, this is my favourite combo and although I adore the Estee Lauder on it's own, the colossal really adds to the volume. I have recently purchased 2tre's khol pencil in no 16 white I ran this along my waterline just to widen my eyes a bit.

Last but not least a new favourite of mine, Maybelline's Baby Lips in Peach Kiss, this gives a lovely shimmer to the lips but is so so so moisturising and is beautiful for an effortless finish to the face.

MUA Undress Me Too palette and Bronzer

We all forget how easy it is to smile, it is free and infectious. I think we should all aim to smile more and hopefully spread a bit of happiness, hey it is summer after all! :)

So I finally jumped on the bandwagon and purchased the MUA Undress Me Too palette, I was so disappointed to have missed the first one and I'm not sure if you can still get it which is sad as I heard it was better than this one and a much better due for the Urban Decay Naked palette than this is for the Naked2. However as it's such a bargain I just couldn't not, and I don't regret it either. Although I haven't got much use out of it yet as the weather has be so hot I have been keeping my makeup incredibly minimal, I don't doubt it will become a fast favourite for me; it's so nice having such a selection in one place compared to separate shadows and it has a great mix of shimmers and mattes. I'm also hoping that the black will be useful as a liner to create a softer outline than liquid or pencil liner, however I haven't tried it yet therefore I don't know how the colour pay off is, but from swatches it seems like it will be great. For such a small price it really is great pigmentation and just swatching them makes me so excited to try them out, I love all the colours and can't wait to create different looks with them all. 

Now onto the bronzer, I wanted to see what this was like because one it was only £3 and it just appealed to me immediately by it's look. I have umm'd and ahh'd over this for a few weeks wondering if it will be worth bothering with and if I need it but I decided why not?! you can never have too many bronzers after all. From swatching it I wasn't to impressed as it seemed that the colour pay off wasn't great, which almost turned into disaster when I went to use it on my face! My brush obviously worked better than my fingers when picking up the product as I ended up with, a rather let's say 'bronzed' cheek. However I did find it was easy to blend it and thankfully was easy to rescue (I think having a slight tan helped too). It gives a lovely glow and really enhances your tan. I would say you can use it to contour to using a smaller brush, I haven't tried this yet but from first impressions I would say I would be ideal for these summer months. 

These products have only reinforced my growing love for MUA and I'm certain that I will continue to try out more of their range.
