MUA Prism Highlighter Hit or Miss??

Hi guys today I'm going to be talking about these Mua Prism Highlighters. I ordered these in 2 shades I got Solar Flare and Ultra Violet from the Superdrug website. I paid £4 each for these but they are currently on sale for £3 on the website.
Initially on swatching these products I was impressed. These both have a duochrome glow to them, Solar Flare has a pinky/gold glow to it and Ultra Violet has more of an icy white with a hint of a purple. Solar Flare swatched beautifully and it has a creamy texture however when I swatched Ultra Violet it was very chalky and flaky. 
 I was very curious to see how these highlighters would apply and look on the skin. I applied these and unfortunately I was disappointed, they just weren't as pigmented as I would have liked. I usually prefer a blinding glow on my face and there are lots of drugstore highlighters out there that give you a very intense glow at a good price.
However if you are someone who is looking for a cheap duochrome highlighter with a subtle glow then by all means give this a try but it just didn't suit me personally. These come in 5 shades in total, I believe they're are also more green and blue shades if your looking for a colour that is more out there. Overall I think that these are nice for a very subtle highlight but if you're looking for a more intense glow these might not be for you so for that reason they are a miss for me. I'd give these highlighters about a 4/10 rating just for the level of pigmentation and their subtle glow.

Moo Goo Shampoo Review

 I realise I am late to discovering this shampoo but nevertheless it deserves a review. I picked up the Moo Goo shampoo in my local chemist last week after a friend recommended it to me. I must admit I have been obsessed every since. I have dry hair and over the years I feel like I have tried every shampoo on the market for dry hair. It wasn't until I discovered the Garnier Ultimate Blends shampoo did my hair improve at all however sometimes even that doesn't work for my hair. It can be frustrating as using hair masks can make my hair go greasy faster and my scalp would still be dry. Since I started using the Moo Goo shampoo my hair looks more hydrated and there is no dryness on my scalp. This shampoo is a little more expensive than your average bottle of shampoo however I believe it is worth every penny. This shampoo is excellent and also leaves a lovely shine.   Available at:  https://moogoo.ie/scalp-friendly-milk-shampoo Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC...

SOSU Contour Stick

Hi guys! Today I’m going to be reviewing the SoSu contour stick. I’m aware this product has been around for a while now but I have always avoided cream contour products for two reasons. The first being that I don’t want the product to slide around my face and also powder products are easier to use. Secondly, any cream contour products I have come across for reasonable money have been too dark for my skin tone. I purchased the contour stick in the shade ‘Cool’ from my local pharmacy that stocks SoSu products. On application I swiped the contour stick directly onto my face where I would normally apply contour powder and then I used a beauty sponge to blend it out. The stick is very pigmented and it only takes one swipe to apply. It’s very smooth on the skin and the product is easy to build up if you want a more prominent contour. The component feels good quality and the product is cruelty-free, paraben-free and vegan. Overall I think this is a great product. The stick is ea...

Upcycling my bedside locker

 Hi! Today I wanted to show you a piece of furniture I recently upcycled. I have this bedside locker for a few years. However the top of it have been damaged by nail varnish and it has some wear and tear marks. I decided to paint it one of my favourite colours from Dulux which is Mid Shadow. I picked up everything I needed from Bandon Co-Op Retail and Garden Centre. I will link what I bought down below.  I started by cleaning the locker with a damp cloth and then waited for it to dry. I removed the drawer knobs. Then I lightly sanded down the surfaces with some sanding paper. This creates a key for the paint to adhere to when you are applying it. I started applying my satinwood to the locker. I decided to purchase the water based satinwood as it drys quickly and is more environmentally friendly. It took about 4 coats however you can buy an undercoat too to reduce the amount of coats you need to apply.  For the drawer knobs I decided the keep them and spray paint...
