    I like the bronzer though I use it as a blusher and very sparingly. I've recently bought two coloured eyeliner pencils - good pigment, and best of all a built in sharpener in the lid!

    No no no the nail polishes are absolutely appalling. Tried two and they were shockingly bad. I can usually get a week out of my nail polish without a single chip (and I work in a place where I'm using my hands a lot of the day), and I managed all of about an hour before I had a chip. It's terrible quality.

    Yep, the nail varnishes chip, but they go on so well and look lovely - tiny brush which seems to give a better finish. Nice colours too. Friend of mine asked if I'd had them professionally done. TBH, all nail varnish chips on me. Used some Rimmel 60 second stuff yesterday and it's gone on some of the tips already.

    I tried the individual eyeshadows (in green and purple) and they were terrible. Really unpigmented and hard to build up into a block colour.

    The face powder was pretty grim too.

    I love the liquid eyeliner pots. The take two layers to build up to a knockout colour and need five minutes to dry but they last easily 12-14 hours. I have black, bright blue, bright green, bronzy brown and a silver grey. The only seem to have the black instore, but shades on the MUA site.

    My everyday eyeliner.

    I have several MUA eyeshadows and really like them - I always use an eye base with them and never have any problems with them creasing or fading - and that's unusual for me as I am quite oily and sweaty. I also have an eyeliner pencil and again it really lasts but I use the eye base. Also I don't have any of the bright colours so I can't comment on them, I have the pale colours in both matte and shimmer.

    Hi just saw a review on utube by missbudgetbeauty - with swatches etc of the 'undressed' palette. i just wanted to ask if it creases and is it long wearing? does it need a primer? i was thinking of getting the storm palette by sleek as previous utube vids said that was a good dupe of UD naked. but i couldn't find any of those vids and sleek palettes have gone up to £8 now (i remember they were £3.99 few years ago)
    thanks

    I use the pressed powder for setting my make up and the bronzer - no complaints! :)
