Superdrug is a great place to shop if you're after some great affordable makeup; they exclusively sell brands including Makeup Revolution and MUA who have extremely well priced, high quality makeup with many unique products in their ranges. I especially love Makeup Revolution as they have lots of products that are designed and practical for use of makeup artists, for example they have large pallets like their blush pallets that have lots of different shades inside to use on all different skin tones.
Let's get on with the haul and see what I picked up! ...
Collection Sheer Loose Powder
I am constantly going through pots and pots of loose powder- it is one of my most used makeup items in my kit and my preferred powder is MAC Prep& Prime loose powder, however at £22 per pot when I go through the stuff very quickly, it can get expensive. After a little research and comparing online I decided to try out this loose powder from Collection that cost me a fraction of the MAC price at just £2.99.
I feel as though not many high street affordable brands have loose setting powders in their lines and this one from Collection was one of the very few that I came across- I really love loose powders as they never tend to leave a cakey finish on the skin- however they can be a little more tricky to transport around and you always need to make sure the lid is tightly fastened to avoid any explosions of white powder all over your expensive kit! :')
Makeup Revoultion Pro E103 Blending Brush
I was never aware that Makeup Revolution sold brushes until I spotted a few on the superdrug website (I think they may be online only..?) and I knew straight away that I had to try one out! I love Makeup Revolution as a brand and I can't wait to use this brush and see how it performs.
Makeup Revolution Cover & Conceal Pallet
Here's another case of me trying to find a cheaper alternative to MAC - I absolutely love the MAC Conceal & Correct pallet and I find it really useful to have in my kit with it being a pallet so that I can always use a spatula to stay hygienic, however at £35 it is a very pricey product so I am hoping that this similar version from Makeup Revolution will be just as good.
So far so good and I like the product although I am a little concerned that it will not last me a very long long as I have already hit the pan of two of the shades so I can see that there is very little product inside.
MUA Eyeshadow Pallet, Poptastic
I've recently had my eye on the Urban Decay Electric pallet however before I splurge on that, I decided to try out this cheaper alternative from MUA. I love using bright colours when experimenting with high fashion/ editorial looks and I also think that adding a single pop of colour to a natural makeup look is really lovely and an easy way to be more adventurous with your makeup.
I have used eyeshaddows from MUA before and I think that they are fantastic quality considering their extremely low price- let's see if this gets rid of my temptation to go and buy the Urban Decay alternative!
MUA Clear Anti- bleed Lip Liner
Lip liner is essential when you want your lipstick to look sharp and last all day although it is sometimes tricky (and expensive!) to get a lip liner that matches every single lipstick colour in your collection so hopefully this clear lip liner that claims to work with all lipstick shades will come in handy when I can't find a matching liner to my lipstick.
MUA Luxe Metalic Liquid Lips, Spark
I really love purple lipstick, it's the perfect addition with a simple makeup to make a statement and is a great way to add some colour into a plain outfit. Many high end brands have recently released liquid lipsticks so I was intrigued to see how this one from MUA performs.
I <3 Makeup Lip Lava, Shockwave
I also picked up another liquid lipstick from the brand, I <3 Makeup which I think is a sister company to Makeup Revolution. I love the colour of this which is a pretty purple/ pink and may be a little more wearable for someone who isn't quite ready to rock a dark purple lippy whilst nipping to the shops just yet!:')
