Brand series - month 1, week 1

Welcome to part one of my new mini series that will be on going for a few months. 

Basically each month i will choose a brand and then mention some of the best products from the brand, and worst.. if i've really disliked something. It also gives me a reason to try out some new things! Which of course makes everything good when you have a reason to buy make up. I thought it would be quite interesting. Every Saturday there will be a post about this, so here is number one.. Enjoy.

MUA- Make up Academy 

One of the cheapest make up brands out there, which of course is a great thing because you can try different shades of things for next to nothing before you splash out and buy something from a different brand. Like a lipstick, you never know what type of colours suit you until you try them.. and it must be very disappointing to spend £10 on a colour that does not suit you at all! 

It's a great brand, that is sold in superdrug's. Every one i have been in stock this brand because i know smaller stores dont stock as many make up counters but luckily this one is everywhere. If you haven't tried anything from this brand, or haven't heard of it. Where have you been?? 

The product i'm talking about today is an eyeshadow trio and i have mention it before but it was quite a while ago.

How cute are these little trios, and only £2.50, they have lots of different shades avaible to make the perfect eye shade. one colour for the crease and then all over shades. I think they are a great idea. You do get a small applicator with it, but i wouldnt reccomend it because i dont think they are the best quality. 

Christmas idea's under £10

Some times you have to live life on a budget and that doesn't change just because it's Christmas. So if you running behind and still need to buy some presents and are running low on cash; i thought i'd put together a quick post with some ideas to hopefully help you out. ( not all beauty related just to warn you )

You can play it safe and go with chocolate, there are enough choices available everywhere this time of year. And if they don't like chocolate ( crazy people! ) then there are sweet options available too. 

That will never cost too much to do. 

Get something handy, like socks scarf gloves or a hat. We all need them this time of year and is perfect for all ages. 

Can you remember a year when you didn't get a diary from someone, Why change tradition? buy someone one. Available in supermarkets, pound shops and places like wilkos. 

Depending on age, there are nice gift sets of alcohol available. From beer, to wine to spirits something for everyone. They are also well priced too, in supermarkets, while stocks last. Every mum needs a strong drink after slaving away in the kitchen all day.

Or just buy them something they would buy themselves, bits of make up, hair bits special shampoos and confessions sounds boring i know, but i know how much id appreciate something like that. You would also be saving them a little money because they would need to buy it anyway some point.
