MUA Luxe Enchanted Eye Palette

Well this little beauty of an eyeshadow palette really got people's attention on Instagram and you can see why. This luxurious silk-inspired eye palette actually is from the MUA Luxe range and not Hourglass as quite a few people assumed. To look at, admittedly it is an absolutely amazing dupe and similar in the shades chosen for the palette.  I don't own any Hourglass products so am unable to compare the formula of the two. 

Called Enchanted, this Silk-inspired eyeshadow palette gives seamless colour and can be easily blended for perfect results and they are also buildable for those people who want a lot more coverage and colour. Each shade can be worn alone or you can create a mixture of more than one shade or indeed all 5.

The shades on this palette work to compliment one another and are perfect for the base, crease and lash line and I was even more surprised at how long lasting they are too. I always apply using an eyeshadow brush and the fallout is absolutely minimal to almost none at all.

If a smokey eye is more your look then fear not because there is another palette within this range and it is called Enrapture. Enrapture includes eyeshadow shades that are much darker, whilst the other one has soft and gentle shades.

I really like how sleek this palette is and it fits perfectly into my makeup bag without any problems. If you are looking for a new eyeshadow palette, then these are definitely worth looking out for, they are priced at just £6 and are just stunning.

Melvita Nectar de Roses Hydrating Milky Mist

It is no secret that I am obsessed with face mists, so much so I dedicated a blog post to the ones I had been using. For me, a face mist is more than just a moisturiser, they also hydrate, refresh, cool and soothe the skin, especially when the weather is hot and sticky or when you have been sat in front of a computer screen all day and your eyes are just tired and you are worn out.

When the new Melvita Nectar de Roses Hydrating Milky Mist arrived in the most brilliant way ever (more below) it was love at first spritz, something which won't surprise the more regular readers of my blog because I happen to think the brand is fantastic.

The Milky Mist uses a blend of three unique and handpicked roses alongside some organic rosewater to deliver 24 hour hydration. There is also a hint of Peppermint essential oil which is incredibly fresh and some wild rose extract which is proven to boost hydration to the skin. Putting all of those ingredients together, this Mist has three key benefits and they all revolve around moisture, hydration and refreshing the skin. 

With a pump action bottle and dispenser, when released, the mist is super lightweight so that when it hits the skin, not just your face but it can be used on your whole body, it doesn't drown you and leave you soaking wet, instead the dispenser releases enough mist to cover your body within minutes and you don't have to rub it, just given it a few seconds to absorb and you will get a whiff of the roses and peppermint together and a lovely refreshed and cooling feel to your skin, perfect for this weather we currently have and soothing to boot. and you can cover the whole body in seconds. It feels instantly soothing and hydrating and 

The Melvita Nectar de Roses Hydrating Milky Mist is £15 and available from August.
