Best Naked Palette dupe?!?!?!

Hey everyone, today I'm going to do a comparison post, on the best drugstore dupe of the Urban Decay naked palettes. I have 3 brands: MUA, Makeup Revolution and W7. I will compare price, weight, pigmemtation, texture. Then I will say which one I think is best.

Firstly, the MUA palettes. These are £4 each and contain 9.6g of product. I have the Undress Me which is the dupe for the naked palette. The packaging is very cheap and plasticy, I have already cracked the lid. However, the eyeshadows themselves are really good quality. The only eyesfavourite am not a fan of is the matte black, but most matte black eyeshadows are the same. All of the other eyeshadows are easy to blend and have beautiful finishes. Also the eyeshadows have names, which helps a lot in tutorials.

The next palette I have is 'in the buff' by W7, which is the dupe for the naked 2 palette. This was £5.99 and has 15.6g of product! The packaging is amazing! It is a very sturdy tin, so you can easily take it away without worrying about breaking it. Furthurmore, these eyeshadows are so creamy and blend so easily, its amazing. To make things even better, the eyshadows have names!


Finally, we have the iconic 3, by Makeup Revolution. This palette has 14g of product and costs £4. I was dissapointed by this palette because I can't use the first or second shades, aswell as the copper-gold. The reasons are that the
white is not pigmented enough to show up and the second and gold shades come out in chunks, so they are basically unusable(pun intended).

Overall, my favourites by far are the w7 eyeshadow palettes, they are just my ideal eyeshadows. The texture is amazing, the finish is beautiful and the packaging is a very high standard. I definately recommend them, they are just amazing!!! If I had to choose a second place, it would be the MUA palette. Eventhough the packaging is cheap and there is less product that both of the others, the textures are beautiful. Some of the Makeup Revolution eyeshadows are brilliant but there were too many disappointing lones to make this palette my second favourite.

Thanks for reading and comment down below if you want me to review anything!!!

Maybelline master precise eyeliner, 1st impressions

I love winged eyeliner. I also love cheap things and getting a good deal, which is why i tend to stick to the cheaper end of drugstore makeup. My previous felt tip eyeliner was from collection and it was £2.99. It was a good eyeliner and did the job in my beginner stage (the tip was a bit thick so it was tricky to get a thin line, especially if you mess up a lot , like me). It was getting old and a bit dry, so i decided to purchace a new felt tip eyeliner. At the time maybelline was on a two for £10 offer which I couldn't resist! (I got the eyeliner and the foundation in my previous post)

It costs £5.99
It has a 0.4mm point
Mine is in black

The eyeliner has a fine point, which I love for a presice application. It applied very smoothly and there was a decent amount of product. It dries pretty much instantly and has a natural look, quite dewy.

I really like this product because it doesn't smudge and even if you do mess up, the tip is so fine that it still looks good.

As you can see in the photo the pigment of this is very strong and it doesn't run out of ink. I would definately recommend this product to anyone who likes eyeliner, because all stages of makeup would be able to use it.

Maybelline Super Stay foundation 1st impressions

 Hey guys, so today I'm going to be telling you my opinion on the maybelline superstay foundation,  the first time i tried it. My shade is 05 beige which was the palest, even this was too dark. I am very pale and maybelline products are always a shade too dark.It is still wearable if you blend it a lot.

The price was £8.99 in superdrug, but it was in a two for £10 offer (with the eyeliner that will be in my next post) which I'm chuffed about.

Claims:

  • No colour shifting, dulling or fading
  • Breathable and comfortable
  • Non-tranfer: won't rub off
  • Dermatologist-tested
For my 1st impressions it was really good, I love the texture and finish of this. I have oily skin so most foundations that offer a 'fresh look' will leave me looking like a greasy mess. However this one made me look amazing! It made my skin more matte than it naturally is but still looking healthily dewy! It was a medium, buildable coverage and it felt very lightweight on the skin.

Throughout the day it still looked as it did the moment I applied! Obviously I didn't leave it on for 24 hours (who wears makeup for 24 hours straight?) but for the (approximately) 8 hours I wore it, it looked flawless the whole time. It didn't rub off when I accidently touched my face a few times and sat very comfortably on my skin for the whole time. Overall I would definitely recommend this, the only issue I have is the shade range. If you have literally white skin this will be wayyy too dark and (in my Superdrug at least) the shades only went up to an orangy tan. Apart from that, if you can find your shade, I would definitely recommend this product.
