MUA Winter Sale Haul 2

Hello gorgeous people. Hope you are all looking forward to the weekend. :) Whilst browsing the MUA website, I was delighted to see that their Winter Sale with up to 75% off was still on and that they had added some more items! I could not resist making a second purchase and picking up some additional makeup goodies to add to my collection. I spent a whopping total of.... £13.35 (including postage)!
I grabbed three of the Intense Glosses (75p, originally £2) in the shades Kiss And Tell, Lips Are Sealed and Quick Smooch (from left to right). 
The pinks have great pigmentation, whereas as the orange shade is more sheer and has flecks of glitter. They apply smoothly to the lips and do not feel sticky. These could easily be worn by themselves or over a lipstick to intestify the colour. I wish I had picked up more!! 
Shimmer Kiss Blusher: Pink Shimmer Kisses. 
I have yet to use this on my cheeks and fear it may be slightly too light for my skin, but it is a beautiful product and the colours could be used individually or swirled together. 
£1 (originally £3)
I have been eyeing up this highlighting powder for a while but it has always been sold out. I grabbed the shade Irediscent Gold and love the way it applies to the skin. This is my favourite item from this haul. This was a full price product costing £3. 
Swatches:
I am going to a wedding soon and was in need of a mint nail polish to match my outfit. I picked up the shade Pistachio for 40p (originally £1). I can't wait to try out this colour!
I was intrigued by the Lip Boom and at £1 (originally £3) I thought I'd purchase it. It was difficult to see how the colour of the lipstick and lipgloss would be on the website but I picked up the shade 'Let Me Know.' I am impressed with the lipstick colour; a burgandy/ purple but unfortunately not with the lipgloss. When applied to the lips it was very gritty and uncomfortable. I won't be using the lipgloss again but the lipstick will be one of my new favourites. 
Swatches: (from left to right) lipstick with gloss, gloss, lipstick. 
The first of the two eyeshadow palettes I purchased is the Starry Night palette. The colours are beautiful in the palette, however they are not very pigmentated and will need a black or white eyeshadow base to make them pop.
£2 (originally £4).
Swatches:
The second palette was the Glamour Days Palette. This palette has both shimmer and matte shades and a wide range of colours. The pigmentation is much better on this palette. I do love this palette and was disappointed when it arrived with a smashed shadow. :( 
£2 (originally £4) 
Swatches:
I would definitely recommend checking out the Winter Sale and grabbing some bargains. :) 

Bye lovelies, until next time. Stay happy, healthy and appreciative of life. Xx
