MUA Single Eyeshadows Review & Swatches Part 3



Hey My beauties How are you all doing :) 
Today i am reviewing some more MUA Single Eyeshadows that i have added to my collection 
I Stated in my first blog post on the Single eyeshadows i already own that i wanted to get more as i loved them that much if you didnt see my 1st & 2nd blog post which has swatches also click here to check it out   
So as you can see i went shopping again :) to build up my little collection.  So far including these i have 19 shades  There is 34 single eyeshadows altogether so im not doing to bad eh?
Anyway enough chit chat and let talk about these shades as there is quite a few to get through.  As you will see all of these eyeshadows are pearl :) 

Shade 2 is a great shade is a simple white pearl eyeshadow but this is great to have in your collection.  This can be used as a highlight on the inner corner of your eyes, under the brow even on the lid.  I have used this on my cheekbones and it works really well :) 

Shade 4 is a lovely pinky-purple shade this is a perfect lid colour.  I found this one a little on the chalky side and a little sheer but it is buildable and turns out to be a beautiful shade :)

Shade 7 is on my favourites list :) This is a fantastic forest green shade.  Its so so pigmented a little goes a long way :)   They say that greens sort of clash with green eyes but not with mine as i have more hazel than green eyes so this works really well with my eye colour.  I find myself doing a great smokey eye with this shade :) 

Shade 9 is another favourite of mine of course because its purple but this purple is unique in a way because it has tiny specks of blue shimmer going through it in normal light it looks purple but if the sun hits it you see the blue tone going through it. I love it 

Shade 10 is a dark near black shade with navy and purple undertones to it.  This i found pigmented but chalky.  You will find yourself making a little mess while using one so just be careful but dont let that put you off as this shade is fab for a good smokey eye.  

Shade 15 Now this looks black in the photos but its actually a dark charcoal shade i was a little less excited about this one as its so easy to get a metallic charcoal shade anywhere practically any eyeshadow palette will have a dark charcoal in it but its very pigmented and quite handy for travel if you didnt want to bring palettes with you :) 

Shade 25 is a beautiful rosy shade with tiny specks of blue shimmer which is not noticeable when applied.  You will also notice by the swatches that this could actually be a blush shade :) great for bringing along travelling :) 

Shade 28 is a lovely pigmented coppery gold this is so highly pigmented a little goes a long wait but again i found this a little chalky so make sure to tap off before applying or you will have fall out.  Its a fantastic shade another of my favourites :)  

Shade 30 is a gold bronze shade.  This is a lighter gold than shade 28.  This shade is been compared to Urban decays Half Baked.  This is more of a warm toned shadow and i have found it a fantastic colour for my eyes another on my favourite list but this too is chalky not that it matters but just to have it in my notes :) :) 
Swatches 
Well thats all the eyeshadows for now.  For £1 each these are amazing value for what you are getting out of these.  If you are building up your collection you should definitely give these a try :)   I plan to depot them all and put them in my new unii palette :) i feel they will be safer as the packaging on the single eyeshadows are kind of flimzy and i have had 2 that broke and shattered on me :( but hey the cheapness is only on the packaging not on the eyeshadow itself so im happy with that :) 
These eyeshadows if used with a primer they last a good 6+ hours :) 
Well thats it from me today everyone 
I hope you found this review helpful and interesting, if you have any questions please ask away i love getting comments and always reply to them all as they are extremely important to me 

Have a great day/night 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter

MUA Single Eyeshadows Review Part 2


Hey everyone Hope you are all Good.  
So in my last MUA Review Haul i talked about how much i loved loved loved the MUA Single Eyeshadows 
To Refresh your memories click here to see that review 
In that review i got some single eyeshadows in Shades 6 (pearl), 11(pearl), 16(matte), 18(matte) & 20(matte) and loved every one of them 
So this time i got 5 more shades and again im very pleased with them. 
Whats amazing me more about these shadows is the fact that they only cost £1 each £1 like thats seriously great value for an eyeshadow.  
Shade 1
Shade 1 has a pearl finish.  Its a lovely cream shade.  This is such a soft creamy eyeshadow the texture is incredible it almost feels a little wet when you swatch and apply.  I use this for a highlight for my browbone, inner corner of my eyes, even on the top of my cheekbones for a light highlight during the day.  There is a slight shimmer to it but the shimmer is so finely milled in this eyeshadow.  Blending this eyeshadow is like a dream.  For a light shade there is quite a bit of pigmentation from it which surprised me.  I love this shadow. 
Shade 12
Shade 12 is again another pearl shade.  This has actually been compared to Mac's "Club" eyeshadow.  I dont own Mac Club to compared it myself but to be honest looking at the swatches when i googled it i have to say it does in fact look very very similar.  This eyeshadow in my eyes is a very unique one.  The best way to describe this shade is a Chocolate brown with green and brown specks of shimmer to it.  I love this eyeshadow it really makes my hazel eyes pop.  and the special thing about this eyeshadow is that can be worn on its own and appear to look like you have more than one eyeshadow on.  10/10 in my eyes 
Shade 13
Shade 13 is another pearl eyeshadow.  Well now if you are a follower of this blog for a while you all now i LOVE my purple eyeshadows.
So you can imagine how i feel about this shade :) 
This is surely a beautiful eyeshadow.  Its a Dark velvet purple with a black undertone to it.  I can safely say when i wear this beautiful eyeshadow my eyes surely pop.  It applies brilliantly and i get no fall out.  I love to create a smoky eye with this.  AMAZING
Shade 14 
Shade 14 i have to say is another of my favourite :)  This is a beautiful forest green, with brownish blackish undertones to it.  Im in love with this shade its so pretty it has the same uniqueness as shade 12.  A small amount of this goes a long way and you can achieve a beautiful smoky eye with this eyeshadow 
Shade 19
Shade 19 is a matt chocolate brown.  This is one eyeshadow that should be in everyones collection.  Its such a handy shade to have.  This can be use as a brow colour, in the crease etc.. I  also love that it is matte.  This is even dark enough for me to achieve a daytime smokey eye look.  This can also be use as a contour powder for some people.  This i use as an eye-liner as well if i dot want the strong black look i go for this shade I love this and a good blend-able matte brown is hard to find most times especially if your on a budget.  Get it you wont regret it. 
Swatches 
Overall I think these eyeshadows are amazing for only £1  The pigmentation on these are really good and with a good primer underneath they last all day.  I will surely be purchasing more of these and when i do i will update this blog post with them.  They are well worth your money and you wont be disappointed.  It just a pity there is not more of a selection in the Matte eyeshadows that is the only downfall i have with them.  
So you own any of these eyeshadows?  What is your favourite?
Until next time my beauties 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter
