Review: MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighting Powder!


Hello my lovelies, I picked up the MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighting powder! (£3)  purely because it reminded me of the MAC Extra Dimension Blush (£20). I love the mac version so I thought I'd try out the MUA one due to the huge difference in price!

First off the product comes in a round pot with a clear lid. I'm not sure if it is just mine however, the lid is so hard to open and I feel like my nails are going to snap every time I open it! For only £3 though, I can't complain. The product promises to transform your complexion with luminescent shimmer.







In terms of the product pigment, It does not have a strong pink colour to it as does a blush. From looking at the product in store you would think the pink would show more, it looks more like a blusher. The product leaves a light shimmer on your skin however in total honesty I don't really see a huge "transformation" in my complexion. Don't get me wrong, there is a glow whilst turning my face in the light however not hugely noticeable. 




All in all this product does give a slight healthy glow to the skin and for £3 it is worth the try. I am going to carry on using the product to see if I can do anymore with it, maybe multiple application will increase the effect of this light powder!

Let me know if you have tried this product and what you thought!

Paperchase Haul!

Hello! I am back at university and I thought it was about time I get organised! My mum is the most organised and positive person I know and I have taken her advice on board and tried to put some order in my life. I absolutely love Paperchase so I headed into town and grabbed a few things to help me keep on time and up to date with uni and other things!

Firstly I decided it was about time I got an organising planner! I love the filofax style organisers however, I feel they are way to pricey. I decided to go for this faux leather burgundy 18 month organiser. Inside there are six little page dividers for information, agenda, planner, diary, addresses and notes.








The thing I love about this style of organiser is that you can buy little accessories for them. I decided to buy a to do list, arrow labels, post it notes and appointment stickers. 






This has nothing to do with organising however, I wanted to find some little cards to send little notes back home while I am living in Leeds. I love these cards as they look so cute and sentimental. They are also tiny!




Next up is this desk pad. Its a4 size so I thought it would be great to keep this on my desk or on the wall so I can see my week at a glance and read everything at once. 




I love highlighters, they are great for revising. I love these highlighters as they are shaped like little bears! You can also get panda or cat ones! 


When revising I need to use different colours to remember things. Also, when things look good I am more likely to want to look at them.


After writing my notes up rough in a lecture, I like to go home and write them up. I purchased this notebook to write my neat notes in. 


And finally, My phone never stays charged throughout the whole day so I bought this little battery pack! I love it as it looks good and acts as a backup if my phone is running low, such a life saver!


If you haven't been to Paperchase recently go have a look, there are some brilliant things in there at the moment!

I bought a new camera!
