So in late November, I bit the bullet and bought a sample pack of seven mini lipbalms from their website. Weirdly, I can no longer see this particular set on their website - admittedly, the Fresh website is ballache to navigate - but I think I paid around £44 for it, not including £6.95 postage. It's not exactly a student purchase, I'll give you that.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Nude. My lips are pretty pigmented, so this barely shows up - a hint of shimmer, but not much else.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Tulip is a slightly deeper red, much more pigmented version of Rose on my lips, with a little more shimmer too.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Fig is a deeper sheer mauve-brown on my lips with shimmer that borders on microfine glitter. It's a little distracting for a tinted lip balm.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So what do we think about the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatments?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">They're nice. All of them feel very light on the lips, and as someone who despises the heavy feel of say, Vaseline, a lip balm that feels weightless is a must. The range of colour pay off is good, too - I can reach for Nude for lazy days or Tulip if I want a bit more of a statement lip. The packaging is very luxurious and classy, too.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For what they are, they're also pretty expensive. Excluding postage, this gift set works out at nearly £7 a (mini) lip balm - although this is way better value than their full sized tubes, which retail at £19 a pop. Considering the fact that they're very soft and creamy and also mini sized, I've got through a couple of tubes entirely with about two weeks of regular use. That wouldn't make a dent in a standard size Nivea or EOS, for comparison.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While you can't compare budget with high end, I'd completely understand high end pricing if the product delivered high end performance. In terms of moisture, I'd actually rather stick with my Nivea Fruity Shine balms, which surprised me! The tinted Fresh Sugar Lip Treatments are actually not particularly moisturising. The clear versions give a lot more moisture than the tinted ones, but also wear off quickly. They're also very heat sensitive - after a day at work with SPF in my pocket, the little stub of it remaining had melted against the side of the tube, slanting it so it was pretty much unusable. :(</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While I don't think I'll be repurchasing mine when they run out, I am interested in the similar product from L'Occitane - priced at £12 for 4g and reported to be super moisturising, those will probably be my next purchase come payday!</span></span><br />

Unfortunately, ELF stopped selling in the UK, and when they returned it was with a massively reduced product range and with hidden custom charges so I've not purchased from them since.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></span>

Rather than the HD blurring effect, I was more after oil control, and stumbled across this cheap and cheerful offering from Collection.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Can confirm that this product is translucent, which is such a plus. British High Street makeup brands routinely ignore darker skin tones, so it's great to have the option of cheap makeup that won't ghost you out.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Regarding oil control, it's pretty decent at controlling t-zone oiliness, though won't wear for quite as long as the ELF HD or similar silica based powders. Your mileage will vary significantly based on the base you're wearing underneath it, though. My daily routine of a moisturising BB Cream means that any powder is going to struggle to prevent shiny patches, whereas if you wear a heavy foundation it'll likely last longer.</span></span></span></div>

The anti-spot serum is a thin-ish liquid with an SPF of 20. Leaves no white cast or what have you on my dark skin. Also, it absorbs extremely quickly, very important when I'm in hurry in the morning. I've been using it in the mornings (not in the evenings although twice daily application is recommended) since Black Friday, (so a month and a bit now) and my skin seems more even toned and smoother, although I have recently started using a Foreo rip off and occasional AHA so they could also be responsible. I've had two spots since using this product. Annoyingly, my nose is still pretty oily, though that too has reduced somewhat recently...I'm more inclined to credit my skin trying to adjust to the colder/drier weather than this product though.<br>

Would recommend to anyone interested to at least visit the store and enquire about it and whether it'd suit your skin's needs. As promised on the packaging, it reduces dark spots (also red ones if anyone is prone to those), makes me appear a little more radiant and makes me look more even.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Has anyone else tried this? I find it hard to find English-language reviews for this product so would be interested to hear your views!</div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Verdict? Well, it's incredibly soft. Absolutely no shedding when washed, which I was pleasantly surprised about as it was so cheap. However, this particular brush is far too large to be properly used on my face, really - my own fault for not checking. There is a smaller version on sale which I was planning to investigate before I bought a set of Sigma dupes from eBay. Can't comment on whether this brush is a Real Techniques dupe as I don't own this specific one from them, but they seem fairly similar.</span><br />

Most of it is pretty cheap, and my skin is dry (save my nose, which should be prospected by Shell as it's turned into an oil slick recently) so I'm always on the lookout for moisturising products. Superdrug tend to have deals on (i.e three for two/buy one get one half price) on it's own brand products, making them more student friendly, and you can also get 10% off pretty much anything in store with an NUS card - the only reason I bother paying the £12 a year for it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> The micellar solution definitely feels less drying to the skin than their 'regular' micellar water (the B. one). My skin doesn't feel tight or dried out when using this like it does with their one. But I'd also argue that this is also less effective at removing makeup, and immediately after using it my skin feels quite weird and tingly? Not sure why that is. The sensation doesn't last long, but even so, I won't be repurchasing. I also prefer the packaging of the B. bottle - it has a tiny nozzle so you can control application much more precisely. This has a little flip top which I've already managed to use to spill product all over my duvet, don't ask me how.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">EDIT: I actually chucked this away three days after writing this draft. Don't know whether my bottle was just defective or if it's a universal design fault with these but no matter how tightly I shut the lid, it'd still leak everywhere. Came to a head when I removed the top and had pretty much the entire bottle explode over the carpet...never buying this again! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I wore this serum at night for a few nights and didn't notice a massive amount of difference, but admittedly I didn't give it much time to work. What I really like doing with this is applying it to Mum's electric face brush thing (Lange? Not familiar with any of their products save this knock-off Clarisonic) and using the two together. Makes my skin feel so soft.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I just like looking at the two phases of the cleansing oil, not going to lie.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's pretty damn effective (certainly more so than the micellar water, in my opinion) at removing makeup, and doesn't leave my skin feeling 'stripped' which is certainly a plus. The packaging hasn't leaked as well. I'd repurchase this.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is the third darkest concealer shade in Kiko's 'Skin Evolution' range. Nine shades, all numbered. I was actually really impressed with how good a match this is for my skin, as I usually struggle to match my undertones with high street brands.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> It's very reasonably priced at £5.50. I ended up paying less than that for it as I was shopping during their Black Friday sale, making it even more of a bargain. Also, Kiko do some weird thing where you essentially have a loyalty card app on your phone, but you rack up points fairly quickly. You seem to get them for social media interactions (i.e writing reviews or liking their page) as well as in store/online purchases which is pretty decent, and the discounts once you reach 2,000/4,000 points aren't bad at all.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This concealer matches my skin so well that I don't even need to powder on top (obviously I do for longevity reasons, but not for colour match reasons). So I really, really wanted to like it...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga4YqPloj9bhkNV58DhD_zQ5I0GGHEI7puRCVcr3-jEUrcmRV7Es02a1uESiHT7-RAY4Ufi12HDFDyow9BfNZm1BM4_RSZkMyv9cXaMPG3cWP2QoxIkGVRBrigxZN64qByC-bFJa3fwV0/s1600/SAM_0849.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga4YqPloj9bhkNV58DhD_zQ5I0GGHEI7puRCVcr3-jEUrcmRV7Es02a1uESiHT7-RAY4Ufi12HDFDyow9BfNZm1BM4_RSZkMyv9cXaMPG3cWP2QoxIkGVRBrigxZN64qByC-bFJa3fwV0/s320/SAM_0849.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Admittedly, poor Shade 07 (aka <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">'Cogna<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">c', didn't realised Kiko gave it's concealers names as well as numbers) </span></span>has a tricky job. About two months ago, I cracked the side of my mouth really badly, and now have a grim black (hyperpigmentation) mark at the side of it which I refuse to leave unconcealed if I have to leave the house. While I work on various skincare 'fixes' to even out the marks, I need a reliable concealer to maintain the illusion of evenly pigmented skin.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Still, even application is a bit tricky with this concealer. Too much concealer and it all pills up and looks very obvious as soon as powder is dusted over the top. But any less and the marks are still visible. Doesn't really set once applied, so isn't the longest lasting concealer. It certainly can't handle a 9-5 uni day with lunch, and I have to take it with me to reapply throughout the day - not a problem I had with my previous concealer, which was ironically a a highlighting one designed for the undereye area!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As always, your mileage may vary with this. It's cheap, gorgeous colour match (and fantastic colour range - nine shades is nothing to be sniffed at) but unfortunately can't live up to expectations, performance wise.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For reference, Primark had dabbled in the whole beauty line when I first got into blogging. I had a few of their brightly coloured kohl liners (those things were genuinely quite good as well) but I seem to remember they gave up fairly soon afterwards, someone correct me if I'm wrong? I hadn't realise they'd started up their makeup line again until recently.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the store, there were plenty of lip liners (four or five shades, £1 each) one other type of beeswax lip balm (pomegranate) some lipsticks, nail polishes, bronzers and other bits and bobs. It all looked quite new but I could sense hoardes of Year Nines just waiting to destroy the stand as soon as I'd moved on so I made my choices and left.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The pencil is okay. Very creamy, a little too creamy as it wears off quicker than I'm used to. Still, lovely colour, and only a quid.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was actually a little disappointed that this wasn't tinted - not sure why I expected it to be coloured, but yeah. This was my first experience with a beeswax lipbalm and I'm not sure whether it's this particular balm or all beeswax lipbalms that I won't be particularly compatible with. It feels nice on my lips but just doesn't deliver any moisture. I have ridiculously dry lips which only get worse in the winter so I need fairly moisturising balms unfortunately. I quite like this under a drying lipstick though.</span><br />

Google Reader is retiring today, and you guys need another way to stay updated with my blog (and it's highly infrequent updates, apologies!). I suggest Bloglovin, but you can also follow me on twitter (@SeptemberLena) and stay updated that way.<br />
<br />
Ironically, I've finally reached 500 followers on Google Friend Connect (thank you all so much!) so I can tie in that long promised giveaway into the changeover.<br />

Maybe. If you've come here thinking this post will be a rant soley on their 50% off sale fiasco, you're wrong. MUA began irritating me long before then.<br />
<br />
Why am I unhappy with the way I've been treated by MUA, then?<br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u>Unsanitary Products</u></b><br />
<br />
We'll start here. MUA had a 35% off sale (free postage) sometime in November or early December. Naturally, I ordered. I wanted to get my hands on the (relatively) newly released Nail Constellations and various basic bits and bobs.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/58913780@N05/8258265628/" title="SAM_1927 by September Lena, on Flickr"><img alt="SAM_1927" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8068/8258265628_795bdcd25a.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
I don't recall recieving any confirmation that my order went through, but it arrived after about four, five days of waiting. I opened it up, everything was fine. Except the fact that my 'Sugar Lips' lipbalm had a hair in it.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/58913780@N05/8258279132/" title="SAM_2015 by September Lena, on Flickr"><img alt="SAM_2015" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8077/8258279132_233a902d4a.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
Ew. <br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/58913780@N05/8258279822/" title="SAM_2016 by September Lena, on Flickr"><img alt="SAM_2016" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8354/8258279822_caea86ee00.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
Ewwwww. <br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/58913780@N05/8258280112/" title="SAM_2017 by September Lena, on Flickr"><img alt="SAM_2017" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8204/8258280112_99e8ca4650.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
EWWWWWWWW.<br />
<br />
The hair was only partially embedded in the lip balm, so I'm guessing it fell in while the lids were being put on (so at the last stage of production) as opposed to being present while the lip balm was actually being created. Even so, I'm fairly grossed out. I don't know if MUA do their own production (unlikely) so I'm not placing the fault for the contaminated lip balm with them. What I AM blaming them for is their complete inaction over my complaint.<br />
<br />
I emailed their Enquiry address (mua@fbbeauty.co.uk) on the 21st of December, 2012. My email:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Hi,<br /><br />I recieved my order from you a week or so ago (order number: #1********)<br />One
of my ordered items was a Love Hearts lip balm in 'Sugar Lips'. The
outer packaging was sealed as usual, but upon opening I noticed a hair
in the lip balm that must have got there during manufacture. Please could you send me a replacement lipbalm? I've attached a photo of the item in this email. Lena.</blockquote>
Attached were the pictures of the lipbalm in this post.<br />

I am aware that many businesses were beginning to shut for Christmas around this time, so I wasn't expecting a response until the 28th or so. When I did not recieve one, I <a href="https://twitter.com/SeptemberLena/status/286828831229239296">tweeted on January the 3rd</a>. I emailed again on January the 11th. I <a href="http://www.facebook.com/MrMUAmakeupacademy/posts/526635007369572">wrote on Mr MUA's newly created Facebook page</a> (so it was likely they'd see it) on the 22nd. Nothing. None of this got any response. As of the 12th of February, the mua@fbbeauty.co.uk address is no longer on their Facebook page under 'contact' details, so I guess they've retired it. Their website now directs you to the built in 'Contact' form for enquiries. This I have used to request the whereabouts of my subsequent order, and have recieved no reply thus far.<br />
<br />
I opened a PayPal dispute two days ago in order to sort the mess. Funnily enough, they responded to that. I've now regained my £1.30. It's not like I requested a replacement in my emails, or anything.<br />
<u><b><br /></b></u>
<u><b>Social Media</b></u><br />
I've had a problem with the way that MUA conduct themselves on Facebook (mainly) and Twitter (less so) for some time now. They've always struck me as...incredibly informal. This is entirely a personal preference, but all the other brands I follow on Facebook seem to respect that boundary and MUA seem different, especially with this whole 'Mr MUA' thing. E.L.F, Revlon and Sleek don't try and convince me that they're a charity working for my benefit as opposed to a money-making business.<br />
When I read posts like, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/MUAmakeupacademy/posts/481563361881144">"</a><span class="userContent"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/MUAmakeupacademy/posts/481563361881144">Another massive effort from the MUA Team today."</a> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/MUAmakeupacademy/posts/480563858647761">"...</a></span><span class="userContent"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/MUAmakeupacademy/posts/480563858647761">the BIGGEST Facebook REWARD to Make Up FANS!"</a> (you're lying anyway, plenty of brands can manage a 50% off sale, don't try and make me feel guilty because yours went wrong)</span><br />

Clearly this offer has grown out of all proportion..."</a> I'm not filled with confidence that this is a business that knows what they are doing. The terrible written communication doesn't help, either. Call me picky all you like - I expect standard English from a commercial enterprise. It's rude to expect me to decipher yURcrayzeiiie misssspeliiiings if you're trying to take my money. Can't spell? That's absolutely fine. But your business consists of more than one person, so leave the Facebook postings to that person that can spell. OK? OK.</span><br />
<br />
<u><b>THAT 50% off Sale </b></u><br />
Where to begin?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://thestudentsguidetonailpolish.blogspot.co.uk/2010/11/side-eye.html">I did experience this</a> a few years back, <a href="http://www.lipsticksandlightsabers.com/2010/11/sale-fail.html">with Sleek (and a lot more profanity).</a> I think <a href="http://www.lipsticksandlightsabers.com/2011/02/thanks-but-no-thanks-sleek.html">everyone </a>did. For those of you that weren't into beauty blogging back then, Sleek MakeUP held a 50% sale to celebrate reaching 21,000 Facebook fans and the website crashed. It crashed bad. I personally spent the best part of a day trying to order, taking it in tandem with my Mum, and I wasn't the only one. Sound familiar?<br />
<br />
Fast forward three years, and MUA are trying to do the same thing. This time, they're trying with MORE THAN DOUBLE the numbers of fans (50,000 versus 21,000) and what appeared to be a quarter of the server space. The MUA website is not particularly high tech or fancy. But unlike Sleek, who annoyed us greatly with their actions but not much with their words (excepting the pizza tweet) <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

(photo <a href="http://www.lipsticksandlightsabers.com/2010/11/sale-fail.html">@LipsticksandLightsabers</a>)<br />
<br />
MUA took to the Internet to slag us all off. Apparantly it was our fault as customers that the website wasn't working. How dare you guys try and shop? Off the page, NOW. We TOLD you this would happen!<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, MUA appear to have deleted the original, pretty damn offensive posts. Wish I had the presence of mind to screenshot them at the time, but I was so shocked by their angry response that I didn't do so. If anyone out there does have screenshots, I'd love to borrow them!<br />
I've never had a company outright post so rudely to its customers, who had done nothing wrong. The blame for the fiasco lies squarely with MUA. If you're going to try and host a sale of this magnitude, look to the good (Models Own, E.L.F) and not to the terrible (Sleek) examples of how. Upgrade your server space. If you openly acknowlege that you're low on stock in some products, for goodness sake order more stock! Don't be surprised and moan at customers when things sell out quickly. And buy some more bloody server space. Apparantly no one at 'MUA Towers' had the presence of mind to go 'Oh, we've advertised this thing for x months and we're very popular on Facebook. Might be an idea to invest in a little more server space and a little extra stock for this sale?'<br />
<br />
This post is too long already, so I'll cut it short here. I ordered on the 22nd of January, and as of the 12th of February, I've not recieved my order. And this is why I believe that MUA are the worst new company of 2012.<br />
<br />
Did anyone else make an order during the sale?<br />

Naturally, with the help of my NUS card (and 10% student discount), I indulged. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/58913780@N05/8257198179/" title="SAM_1942 by September Lena, on Flickr"><img alt="SAM_1942" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8488/8257198179_0e56f2cc40.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
I bought two of the pressed powder compacts as it's currently the only pressed powder I use. The rectangular palette closest to you is the new Concealer palette in the darkest shade. And although I have far too many eyeshadow palettes now, I basically collect Sleek ones so picked up their three newest releases - Snapshots, Respect, and Supreme.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/58913780@N05/8258265628/" title="SAM_1927 by September Lena, on Flickr"><img alt="SAM_1927" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8068/8258265628_795bdcd25a.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
MUA were doing a sale on their website - 30% off, I believe, with free delivery? So I got some of their new Pro items - namely the nail constellations and the lip glosses - as well as the Love Hearts lipbalms that I've blogged about before and their felt eyeliners. I did have some issues with this order though. Firstly:<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/58913780@N05/8258265154/" title="SAM_1925 by September Lena, on Flickr"><img alt="SAM_1925" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8223/8258265154_1e3f0a8833.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
I ordered from Models Own, Superdrug Online and E.L.F during the same period, and all three companies shipped me my order in a box, however small. Yes, I know postage was free (for that promotional time) but I found it slightly strange recieving the order in a jiffy bag. This may well be unreasonable, but I just don't feel it a) looks very professional and b) is necessarily the best way to keep items intact. The most breakable things, the Nail Constellations, were wrapped up in bubble wrap seperately from everything else, but still.<br />
<br />
Secondly:<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/58913780@N05/8258279132/" title="SAM_2015 by September Lena, on Flickr"><img alt="SAM_2015" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8077/8258279132_233a902d4a.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
I opened up my (completely and utterly sealed, by the way) Sugar Lips Love Hearts lipbalm to find a very visible hair staring back at me. <br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/58913780@N05/8258279822/" title="SAM_2016 by September Lena, on Flickr"><img alt="SAM_2016" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8354/8258279822_caea86ee00.jpg" width="500" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/58913780@N05/8258280112/" title="SAM_2017 by September Lena, on Flickr"><img alt="SAM_2017" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8204/8258280112_99e8ca4650.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
Yeah. I won't be using that.<br />
<br />
Emailed MUA on two different email addresses to inform them of the situation back long before Christmas - haven't recieved a reply since. Tweeted a reminder a few days ago - again, no reply. Unimpressed.<br />
<br />
I also made a small E.L.F order, which I was pleased with. An eyebrow pencil was way too light for me, but other than that it was fine.<br />
<br />
Did anyone else pick anything up in the run up to Christmas or in the January Sales?<br />

Some good, most bad. Mascaras are the one makeup item I'm more than content to be unadventurous with, seeing as about three work for me and no other do, so why not stick with what works?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/58913780@N05/8258268730/" title="SAM_1946 by September Lena, on Flickr"><img alt="SAM_1946" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8483/8258268730_775dcb6b48.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
<b>Maybelline "The Colossal" Volume Express Waterproof</b><br />
This was good! It's a sufficiently wet-but-dry formula that it doesn't end up all over my eyes, and it certainly is waterproof. The brush is chunky style, which I don't usually get on with, but it works perfectly with this formula.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/58913780@N05/8258268436/" title="SAM_1947 by September Lena, on Flickr"><img alt="SAM_1947" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8503/8258268436_bee43e9e9d.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
Thumbs up from me.<br />
<br />
<b>Benefit BadGal Lash Mascara </b><br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/58913780@N05/8258269084/" title="SAM_1948 by September Lena, on Flickr"><img alt="SAM_1948" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8499/8258269084_75079db4d1.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
This was a sample sized picked up from when Glamour magazine were giving away free Benefit bits and bobs, so perhaps not completely comparable with the real deal as it were, but I found this sample to be fairly bad.<br />
It seeks out my eyelids and glues itself to them, ruining any eyeshadow/primer there. It doesn't really have any lengthening or curling effect, and doesn't even really do much in the way of volume. The only thing I can see it doing well is making my lashes darker, but I'd much prefer it did what it was meant to do first.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/58913780@N05/8258269384/" title="SAM_1949 by September Lena, on Flickr"><img alt="SAM_1949" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8360/8258269384_0a1f705b06.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
<b>No7 Exceptional Definition Mascara</b><br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/58913780@N05/8258266434/" title="SAM_1937 by September Lena, on Flickr"><img alt="SAM_1937" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8218/8258266434_f4061ac4af.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
Seeing as I've repurchased this three, maybe four times (in fact, it was<a href="http://www.thestudentsguidetonailpolish.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/packaging-change.html"> featured in one of my most recent posts</a>) this mascara is clearly doing something right. It doesn't flake, is reasonably easy to apply, and the brush is in segments which means you can use different parts for different areas of the eye (i.e, shorter bristles on the lower eyelashes). I do think it's a triumph of mascara design. I hope Boots don't discontinue it any time soon.<br />
<br />
Am I the only one with this problem of getting mascara all over my eyelid? Feeling rather clumsy!<br />

It feels so strange to be entering yet another year...</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I focused a lot on lip products and brushes in 2012, but there was a product family that I was continually hitting pan on, repurchasing, and then just never blogging about. Yep, you guessed it: Eyeliners! Admittedly, the clue was in the title ;)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/58913780@N05/8258269800/" title="SAM_1950 by September Lena, on Flickr"><img alt="SAM_1950" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8489/8258269800_59518810e8.jpg" width="500" /></a></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Maybelline 'Master Drama' Kohl Liner</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I actually own this in black and brown. I bought the brown first on a whim, as during the Summer Maybelline released a load of new products and these were included in the line up. As I was going swimming later and was fully aware that a certain rugby player male type of eye-candy would be there, I decided to invest in some waterproof cosmetics. You know, just completely coincidentally.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Anyway, after a long discussion between myself and a friendly sales assistant in Boots who told me she owned this very pencil and used it on her eyebrows, I walked home with this. And it is incredible - so, so robust and waterproof. It lasted me two hours of swimming, which I was more than impressed with. On the hand, it persists for about a day with just casual handwashing.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I haven't actually tested out the black on the waterline yet, but I'm hoping it'll be more of the same story. Best part? This liner was about a fiver, and as Maybelline was 3 for 2, it worked out to be considerably cheaper.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The only downside for me is just how soft they are - it's easy to overapply if you're a little heavy handed (as I often am). I end up having to sharpen these fairly frequently, maybe every four or so uses. I'd still recommend them to anyone looking for a budget, waterproof kohl liner.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>MUA Extreme Felt Eyeliner</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">This was my first felt liner (yes, I am always late to the game, and what?) so I have a little soft spot in my heart for it. It doesn't last too long, usage wise. Perhaps three weeks to a month of use before it dries out and the ink gets grey. But at only £2, it fits squarely into that "cheap and cheerful staple" category.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><b><span class="main-title" itemprop="name">Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner - Black</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">This Maybelline offering is my second gel eyeliner (the first being Sleek's InkPot) and it has left a much better impression on me than my first.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">It looks like the sort of thing that will stay moist for a long time - the lid is sturdy and seals tightly each time, and the frosted glass looks quite classy and evokes ideas of higher end brands such as Bobbi Brown. So I'm more than happy leaving the pot on my makeshift vanity. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">For me, this is not a 24 hour liner, though. Out of all the liners I've posted, this gel liner actually survives the least amount of time before running; about six, seven hours. By the end of my college day, I end up with visible smudges by the corners of my eyes. It's quite disappointing. I've tried to remedy the problem by extending my eye primer over the parameters where it'd usually be, but it <span style="font-size: small;">doesn't always stop the smudging. Boo.</span></span><br />

I purchased this at the same time I bought the brown kohl liner and it's still going strong, the liner as dark as ever. It's correspondingly more expensive though - 2 1/2 times the price of the MUA offering. Oh well. Compromise... </span></span></div>

<br />
In an attempt to cover all my unfinished business before 2012 sadly leaves us...The results of my trip to Westfield all those many moons ago. Et voila.<br />
<br />
This five colour palette cost me £23.50. The sales woman was bitchy as well. And Inglot was sold out of many of the things I wanted to purchase. Overall, fairly terrible experience on their part.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/58913780@N05/6927920954/" title="SAM_0828-001 by September Lena, on Flickr"><img alt="SAM_0828-001" height="375" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7202/6927920954_5973fb187f.jpg" width="500" /> </a><br />
Still, the mattes are pretty. It ultimately comes down to the product in the end. Does the product deliver? You bet it does.<br />
<br />
Unlike most of the other mattes that I own, these don't require a white pencil base to be vibrant - though it does help, I won't lie. But a thick primer and maybe a cream shadow, and these will show up pretty true to colour on the lid with not many passes. They're easily blendable and aren't terrible on the fallout front (though they're not the best, but they're much better than my Sleek shadows, for example).<br />
<br />
Would I repurchase? I don't know. I have tonnes of eyeshadow and let's face it, very few people regularly hit pan on eyeshadows unless they're doing makeup professionally. So I tend to spend less on powder eye products anyway. These were quite a steep price compared to my usual choices (Sleek shadows, Urban Decay box sets on promotion etc.) but the quality was quite improved. I'm undecided.The Student's Guide To Nail Polishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10654865894104986646noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8685070406599250428.post-79296348596127876702012-12-28T10:00:00.000+00:002012-12-28T10:00:10.536+00:00November EmptiesI'm so painfully late with these, I'm embarrassing myself. Oh well. Onwards and upwards, as they say.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/58913780@N05/8257197753/" title="SAM_1940 by September Lena, on Flickr"><img alt="SAM_1940" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8492/8257197753_71f0ed4a5f.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
<b>Sleek Luminous Face Powder </b>- already repurchsed two more. Until I find a superior pressed powder, this will do. It matches my skin tone well and doesn't mattify my face (I find I can look quite flat with some pressed powders as my skin is very dry) so yeah, winner.<br />
<br />
<b>No7 Exceptional Definition Mascara</b> - again, repurchased (see previous post). This, and my L'oreal two-step mascara, are my two favourites that I continually repurchase.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Superdrug Refreshing Toner </b>- this was too drying for me. I wouldn't class it as suitable for sensitive skin (something I have, having had eczema as a child and sometimes getting very rare patches of it even now). I'd cleanse, remove my makeup, and rinse my face, and then use this. It just always felt very astrignent and I'd need to apply plenty of moisturiser before bed. Toner is fairly pointless anyway, so I won't be buying again!<br />
<br />
<b>E.L.F All over Cover Stick</b> - I did like this as it was <i>so </i>thick and potent. A dab, with a light dusting of powder over the top, would cover any blemish really well. But it looks quite grey on my skin, and I have three Sleek concealers to get through, so this is on a back burner.<br />
<br />
Honorary mention: <b>Lady Diana Papaya Cream</b>. I bought this because they claimed it had skin-evening properties and I'm anxious to be rid of my dark acne scars on my forehead. Pah.<br />
It just dries your skin to oblivion. After a few days of use, I stopped using it on my face and started using it on my legs, wanting to give it another chance. A week later and the skin was literally peeling from my legs as if I'd had a sunburn. It was disgusting. I will never purchase this product ever again.<br />
<br />
Still, I think five products is not too shabby for just one month? Pity I have so many others to get through...The Student's Guide To Nail Polishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10654865894104986646noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8685070406599250428.post-2295265153015728872012-12-27T09:30:00.000+00:002012-12-27T09:30:00.740+00:00Packaging Change?Recently, No7 were doing one of their voucher promotions. Mum, knowing that their Exceptional Definition is one of my favourite 'cheap' mascaras, kindly picked one up for me.<br />
<br />
I thought it looked different, so compared it to my existing Exceptional Definition mascara. Voila:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/58913780@N05/8258266434/" title="SAM_1937 by September Lena, on Flickr"><img alt="SAM_1937" height="375" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8218/8258266434_f4061ac4af.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
I didn't have an issue with the old packaging, and don't mind the new either. Both look good to me. I've noticed the other mascaras in the line up have changed as well, some with pretty drastic colour changes (like bronze to metallic lilac, I think).<br />
The actual product inside seems to be no different, it works just as before. My only question is, does this mean that No7 as a whole is getting a bit of a facelift? I've noticed that Boots' other own makeup brand, 17, has also streamlined the packaging of some of its items (most notably the Mirror Shine lipsticks, which are no longer metallic aqua blue and barrel shaped but black and cuboidal in shape). <br />
<br />
If it does mean changes to the brand, I'm all for them. But this is only speculation. I guess we need to wait for 2013 to see if anything will happen!<br />
<br />
Am I going mad or has anyone else noticed the packaging changes?The Student's Guide To Nail Polishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10654865894104986646noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8685070406599250428.post-54993300005095817482012-12-26T22:56:00.003+00:002012-12-26T22:56:26.464+00:00MUA LipsticksAlthough MUA's Professional line gets a lot of the glory nowadays, let's not forget that it was the core line that intially drew in the budget hunters and, though it hasn't been expanded into for some time, it's still pretty damn solid. <br />

<br />
MUA did add three or four pastel shades for Spring/Summer 2012. I picked up this peach one (Nectar)<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/58913780@N05/8303858834/" title="SAM_2034 by September Lena, on Flickr"><img alt="SAM_2034" height="303" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8215/8303858834_57b10de989.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
The lipsticks are really decent for a quid each. My red lipstick broke during application on the way to college, which I wasn't impressed by, but the pink and the peach are still going strong. One thing I have to say - I've seen many people around the blogosphere claim that the bottom is a lip gloss pot. It's not. It really isn't. It's just soft silicone. Do not apply this to your lips, it smells vile.<br />
