MUA Glitter Ball Palette Swatches / Review

I finally got my hands on the MUA Glitter Ball eyeshadow palette from Superdrug the other day for £3, and now I'm dedicating a post to it, if I added it to the haul post, it would of been way too long!


Here are some more photos of the palette itself:

Superdrug say:

"A palette of 12 spectacular shades in a range of high impact colours that will add instant sparkle to you eyes, perfect for partywear. "

 MUA say:

"Highly-pigmented shimmer colours, ranging from green to purple, allowing you to create endless looks fit for day or night. Each of the 12 shades can be applied alone for a dramatic effect or mixed to create a personalised look." 

I did some swatches so you can see how they look on my skin.

Told you I was pale! Some of that is down to the flash and the metallic finish of the shadows though. Overall, I was impressed, some are more pigmented than others, and some are way glittery than others too. The more glittery a shade was, the softer it seemed to be, and there was some fallout even just while swatching so that is one thing to be aware of. However, this only cost £3 so it is an absolute steal really. I will definitely purchase again. My favourite thing about this palette is the colour combos, they are all wearable for me, unlike other palettes I have tried previously. This has the thumbs up from me!

At the moment, MUA palettes have £1 off their usual price, but only if you buy from the Superdrug website or instore. On the MUA website they are still £4.

MUA Shade 9 & Rimmel Disco Ball mani

In the last week you may have noticed I bought some new nail polish which included MUA Shade 9 and Rimmel Disco Ball. Here is what 2 coats of MUA looks like on the nail:

I love this colour! I don't wear blue polish that often so it was a nice change. I did feel that it was lacking *something* so I put one generous coat of Rimmel Disco Ball over the top:

As usual, the glitter didn't show up as I'd like it to on the photo, but as we have had some lovely sunshine over the weekend, I was able to take a shot outside. Yippee!

That's more like it! I am impressed by both polishes, they apply well and I have not had any problems with them. I am extremely glad I purchased them. Not really sure what I can add without rambling too much so I will leave it there.

Another Haul!

I have been spending again! Pictures are worth a thousand words, so on to the good stuff!

Superdrug Colour Effects 8:1 Cool Blonde, £1.29 each. This acts as a toner for my bleach blonde hair, it removes yellow tones. Quick tip: There are loads of products available specifically for blonde hair, but if you want it to remove yellow or brassy tones (making it whiter), it HAS to be a dark purple colour. This applies to toners, shampoo, conditioner, hair mousse, anything you put on your hair basically. I have used blonde shampoo and toners in the past that have been honey coloured and they have made my hair look MORE yellow, so it is important to check.

As you can see, this toner is a very dark purple colour, this is going to counteract the yellow tones in my hair.

Finally! I got some MUA eye palettes! They had a pound knocked off them so they were an amazing £3 each.

MUA Glitter Ball Palette 

MUA Heaven & Earth Palette

These are very popular amongst bloggers so there are already tonnes of reviews and swatches out there.

MUA nail polishes £1 each. Shade 17 (clear) and 9 (blue). There was a black one aswell but sadly it didn't make it home, it got smashed on the floor of the car park while loading the car. *sob sob*

Superdrug 2 in 1 Top Coat & Hardener  and Conditioning Cuticle Oil Pen. These were on offer, 2 for £5.

Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Daily Nail Treatment £4.50 from Tesco. My nails are looking rather used and abused and this promises to show results in just 1 week. Hmmm..

Tesco Exfoliating Face Scrub. It was on offer for £1. I have no idea how good it is but for a pound I don't mind taking a gamble.

Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Shampoo and Conditioner. These were from Tesco and were £1.66 each for 400ml. Never used it before but it was a good price and it smells of yummy coconut.

I bought these sets of 12 glitter in glass bottles off eBay they were under £2 each including postage. I have strands, powder and hearts here and am waiting on some stars and hexagons.

 They are really pretty so I thought they deserved a second picture.

Thats everything I got today, hope you liked it!
