MUA "Undressed" palette review

Goodmorning!
Today I'm here with my review on the MUA "Undressed" palette.
It has been very very popular because this palette is seen as a cheaper dupe of the "Urban Decay naked palettes".
It took me a while to get my hands on these palettes because they have been old out for a couple of weeks, but last week I got lucky!


The "Undressed" palette is the first palette that was brought out.
The package of the palette is quite simple. I love pretty packaging because it makes me feel special, but these days all the packaging is simple so I guess it's okay. The palette holds 12 colours.
There are a lot of neutral brown and pink colours in this palette, but there are also two darker colours in the right corner.
Along with the eyeshadows, comes a two sided brush.


Here are the swatches! 
The swatches are quite good. As you can see, the darker colours are better pigmented than the lighter colours.
I do think the colours are gorgeous, they are neutral but oh so pretty. Who says you need a smokey eye to impress?
 I do get fall out so I always do my eye make-up before I do my face make-up. That's always the safest when you're trying a new product.


I'm happy I have this palette. It's a perfect neutral palette and there are so many options on how you can combine the colours. I will for sure have some eye of the day posts up as soon as I can!

Have you tried this palette?
Do you like MUA? 

Talk to you soon!

Bookreview: The Iron Fey series part 4 - The Iron Knight

Hi!
How are you? Have you been enjoying your summer? Last week, the weather was so bad, it felt like it was winter again. It was raining, it was dark all day... I decided that day to stay inside and read a little in bed.
That day, I finished the last book of "The Iron Fey" series by Julie Kagawa.


I told you in my last review that Meghan and Prince Ash were seperated for some reason. In this last book, we don't follow Meghan like we did in the other three books, we follow Ash this time.
Ash can't let Meghan get away and decides the only way to get back to hear is to become a human. To become human and to get a soul, you need to do some challenges. But will Ash decide he wants to get a soul when he realizes he will grow older and die alone, even though Meghan will live forever now?

 

I enjoyed this book a lot! First of all it was interesting to see what was going on inside of Ash' head because in the other books I felt like he was wearing a mask and shutting everyone out all the time. I also thought some of the challenges were mysterious and they were put together really well, I don't know if I would be able to solve what they have asked Ash to solve.
Aside from that, a lot of things happen to his friends and enemies. I especially love that in the end, not everyone is allright, but everything is allright.
I'm sorry, I can't spoil anything and I must sound crazy but those of you who are reading the series (or who have read the series) will understand.

 

Yeah, I liked this series. I'm kind of sad it's over because now I don't have any Ash, Meghan and Puck stories to look forward to....
But yes, it was nice, I liked the series a lot and I'll check out more of Julie Kagawa's books!

EOTD: Summer smokey eye

Hello everyone!
Today I have a smokey eye for you! This one is really soft and has a few bright colours in it, since it is summer.
I made a video tutorial of this look as well, it will be uploaded on my YouTube channel later!


For this look, I used a couple of different palettes.
The copper colour is from my MAC palette, it's called "Coppering".  I also used "Sketch" in the outer corner.
For the transition colours, I used my matte palette by MUA called "Ever after" and the eyeliner was made with the colours from my "Nude Tude" palette by The Balm.


What do you think? Do you like this look?


Thanks for reading! Have a lovely day!

MUA eyebrow set

Hey, hi, hello! 
I'm really excited to talk to you about this product! It's the MUA eyebrow set! 
I love eyebrow products and MUA is new in Belgium, so I decided to test it!

 

The packaging of this eyebrow set is pretty simple but I like it! 


The palette includes three colours and something that acts like a concealer (in the right corner), there's also a mirror, a little eyebrow brush and a tweezer in this palette.


The pigmentation of these eyeshadows is good enough to get a nice effect, but it's not too pigmented (otherwise you get really dark eyebrows rightaway).
I like this palette, the colours are not too dark and not too light for me, I love how you can mix and match. And it's not that expensive! 


Yes, I love MUA. I love this eyebrow set. 

Thanks for reading!

Book haul: "Delirium" by Lauren Oliver

You guys know that I love books, right?
In case you didn't: I love books! 

I have been in love with dystopian books especially! I just finished a young adult series (4 books) and now it's time to look for something else to read. I've been wanting "Delirium" by Lauren Oliver for a long time, but I only wanted to buy it once I had read my other books, so now was a good time!

 

I was so happy they still had this book in the bookstore! It was the last one! 
Here's a short summary, in case you wanted to know what the book is about:

"The totalitarian government teaches that love is a disease, named amor deliria nervosa, commonly referred to as "the deliria". A surgical cure for the deliria has been developed and is mandatory for citizens 18 years old and over. Lena has looked forward to the procedure for years, convinced as she is by the government that love is a horrible disease that must be destroyed from mankind's system.
However, mere months before her scheduled procedure, Lena falls in love with a boy named Alex."

I looked online and saw that Elle Fowler did a review on this book, so, if you still want more information... Here it is!

Thanks for reading!
