MUA - Pro Base Makeup Fixing Mist Review

 
I am becoming quite a regular at the MUA counter in Superdrug, I love the price of all the products, It means I can buy things just to try them out and not feel guilty because they are only a few pounds even if they don't work!
I have the Undress Me Too Palette which I love, I love the Undress Me Foundation and one of their £1 lipsticks even made it into my Top 5 Summer Lipsticks!!
Don't get me wrong I have tried a few products from MUA that haven't been too great but like I say with the low prices you can check out a wide range of products from the brand and see what works for you without breaking the bank.
This product is quite expensive for MUA, but in the grand scheme of things it's £5 and if you can compare that with an Urban Decay Fixing Spray or a MAC one it is a cut of the price and to be honest I think it does a similar job.
I find it really hard to know if any fixing spray is actually working, or if it's my primer or just my foundation that is lasting well on my face. But I can say that on days when I don't use this my foundation seems to slip off more easy especially in this heat!!
I use this once in the morning to set my make up and then I do use it in the day just to keep everything in place. The smell is really nice and while the weather has been so hot and I work in a stuffy office I have been using it as a freshening up spray too.
I think it is a great fixing spray for the price and I really don't believe a fixing spray does enough in my opinion to warrant buying one any more expensive.
Please let me know if you have a great Fixing Mist that actually makes you think wow this has actually helped keep my make up on!!

My Top 5 Summer Lipsticks

As I said in my Top 5 Summer Nail Polishes post , I love to brighten up my outfits with vibrant nails and lips as I just can not pull off a bright eye shadow! So I thought as I let you know my favourite nail varnishes it was only fair to share my lipsticks too.
 
I have a lot of lipsticks and this post became a very difficult task when it actually came to having to choose my favourites, I just have so many so I trie to choose a range of colours, finishes and brands.
 
I very rarely wear a red shade on my lips because I just can't find one that doesn't wash me out completely, I have a cool undertone to my skin so I find red very hard to wear. I love pink shades going from baby pinks to fuchsia pinks I love them all as you will probably be able to see !!

 

 
1. Rimmel Kate Shade 20 - I love all Rimmel lipsticks but this is my favourite I love wearing it to brighten up a lbd.
 
 
2. MUA Shade 15 Juicy - This is a lovely light coral shade I love the colour and it was only £1 but the MUA lipsticks can be quite drying so I have to wear a gloss over the top.
 
 
3. Mac Crème Cup - This is a Crème sheen lipstick so it is really moisturising and it is a great everyday shade.
 
 
4. Revlon Lip Butter - Strawberry Shortcake - I have a few of these in different shades and they are just like tinted lip balms and they are great for those days when you haven't got much make up on and your just chilling in the garden.
 
 
5. Rimmel Apocalips - Nova - I love this shade, I love its lasting power, I love its 2 in 1 lipstick/gloss I just love it !!
 
Please leave a comment letting me know your favourite summer shades!
