NEW MUG eyeshadow swatches & lipstick review

Hi everybody! I am back with another review, this time it will be only swatches and a little description of the eyeshadow, but I wil do a review for MUG lipsticks.

Let's start with the shadows. You can read my previous review HERE.

(The packaging. Very  convenient.)

Here are all the eyeshadows I received. Top row are my favourites, and so on. I want to mention that there were no bad ones, as I think that MUG eyeshadows are simply amazing , considering price and other good features.

I based my favourites on creaminess and unique-ness of the colour.

(back side with all the names)

(one sweep swatches, with NO base. Some of them are just wonderful)

With all the names and the REAL swatches with a base.

They're pretty much amazing. Check them out HERE

...And now on to the lipsticks...

The packaging- very beautiful, I just love the little details like that, it shows how much effort they've made to make them.

First of all, I want to say that they're pretty amazing. The texture is very creamy. They're a bit sheerer than I expected, but you can build layers with them.

My favourite one is Innocent - which is a warm tone, nude peach. Absoluteley amazing on my lips! It suited me so well that I got compliments. I have a very fair skin, so i think this is perfect for fair skin girls.

(NAME ALERT!!-this is a swatch of INNOCENT, I made a mistake with title pic)

Famous - on lips , color is not as dark and " violent " as in the tube. It's more like deep magenta color.

Adorable is a warm toned nude-ish pink color, gorgeous aswell.

(NAME ALERT!!-this is a swatch of ADORABLE, I made a mistake with title pic)

The only thing is that they are so creamy - it makes them very fragile, and as it is a very hot summer here in Latvia, they are very ...how to say...melty-like and it's easy to brake them. I broke Adorable and Innocent at the bottom of the stick, so I had to depot them.

So here is the conclusion:

Texture - They are extremely creamy, bit melty-like. Other than that, they applied beautifully.  4/5

Packaging -  I'm a sucker of thoughtful packaging, so i will give 5/5

Price/value - Website says that it is 7.99$ for 4 grams / 0.14 oz , which is a very reasonable, even small price. Here in Latvia, it is almost impossible to buy a beautiful lipstick with that price.  Maybe a bit too pricey for some of you. (adressin' US, Canada and Rest of the world) as you have more choice on those drugstore brands 5/5

Longetivity - Stayed on me very well, didn't bleed or smudge. I used lip pencils underneath. 4/5

BUY EM HERE....Stay tuned for the looks... :)

Something randomly new

On the nails I used - No brand purple polish, which I stippled to make a very rough transition effect. Then applied MAC 3D silver pigment and finished with top coat.

Today I decided to create a very soft smoky eye ;)

Also did a sketch for next photoshoot .

And just as a teaser- for the next video I am going to show how I acheived this very high fashion glossy look, so stay tuned ;)

BB, Kristiana. :*

MUG makeup geek eyeshadow pan review

So, about 3 weeks ago Makeup geek contacted me, and asked me for some feedback on their website, as a gratitude for my feedback they let me choose 8 of their eyeshadow pans, which I was very exited about, because I've heard a lot good things about them! Got them yesterday in the mail, and so here is my review.

 Here is the packaging - which I absolutely love. It is very fun, with bright colors, and I just love how the pan is wrapped in cardboard, which is very convenient and much easier to take out and put back in, than ,for example , Mac refill pan packaging.

So, here are all the shadows that I got. Duchess, Peacock, Razzleberry, Chickadee, Shimma Shimma, Glamorous, Vanilla Bean and Stealth. 

In the first and second picture you can see the comparison between 

Mug and Mac pans. Mac pan is slightly smaller than MUG pan, and the MUG pan fits perfectly inside my BHcosmetics magnetized palette, which is awesome! 

In the 4th picture in the first row are my TOP 3 shadows, and then in the 3rd row- my least favourite ones.

Here are all the pan close-ups and the backs with titles.

Chickadee - pigmented matte yellow orange.

Stealth - the perfect warm gray color

Vanilla Bean - highlight, transition color. Matte light beige with slight sheen.

Glamourous - perfect metallic golden bronze shade. Very pigmented, smooth and shimmery. My favourite eyeshadow of all.

Shimma Shimma - very smooth, very shimmery.

Razzleberry - the true red with golden flex in it. So smooth, very blendable, just beautiful! My second favourite shade.

Duchess - matte medium purple. Very pigmented, beautiful color. Had a bit struggle blending this.

Peacock - matte teal blue, a bit chalky.

And here are the swatches:

Without a primer - just one touch

With Lime Crimer primer, without flash - in the daylight.

With Lime Crimer primer, with flash and all the names.

Overall:

Longetivity - Great! Had my swatches on my hand and on my eyes for many hours, they didn't move anywhere. Mainly because of the indestructible Lime crime base. 4/5

Blendability - I will say 4/5, just because most of them blends amazing. Had a bit struggle between Chickadee and Duchess. Vanilla bean is pretty sheer, so you really have to pack it on.

Packaging - Love it. 5/5

Price/Value - Regularly 6$ (1.8G / 0.064 oz), which is a pretty good deal.
(half the price than MAC) Now the price on their website is $4.79, so hurry up and get those eyeshadows for a very reasonable price! 5/5

Texture - most of them are very creamy, smooth and soft. Pigmentation and quality is amazing. 4/5

I really recommend these to anyone who want eyeshadows that variate from neutrals to bright colors , made in variable finishes. (56 colors to choose from)
