Last night, my other half took me for a gorgeous vegetarian meal at my favourite restaurant, The Good Earth.  The meal was an early birthday/Valentine’s celebration and we were treated to 5 fabulous gourmet courses!  I decided to wear my new cute purple dress and wanted to create an evening eye look to match, and this is what I came up with…

And these were the products I used:

MUA Eye Shadow in Shade 9 Pearl

Avon Glimmerstick Eye Liner in Black

MUA Extreme Felt Eyeliner in Black

Avon Super Magnify Mascara in Black

I purchased the two MUA products a few days ago from Superdrug, and as promised here, I will now let you know what I think of them…

MUA Eye Shadow Shade 9 Pearl

As you can see from the above photographs, MUA’s Shade 9 is a fantastic shade of purple.  What I love about this shade is that, though the purple has pinky tones, it also has prominent flecks of shimmery blue throughout.  In the right light, the multi-tones make for a breathtaking, almost peacock-like look.

The shadow is not as heavily pigmented as some more expensive products, but at least that means you can go for a simple, daytime look if you want to.  If you build up layers of the eyeshadow, like I did last night, you can create an intense, deep colour which really catches the light.

I have to say, this eyeshadow lasts a very long time.  I wore it all night and it stayed put and didn’t gather in the creases, rather, it looked exactly the same when I got home as it did when I went out!

To sum this eyeshadow up in one word: Stunning.

MUA Felt Eyeliner Pen in Black

This eyeliner applies wet like a liquid eyeliner, but is a lot easier to put on as it comes in a handy felt pen format.  The fine brush/nib is simple to use and the thickness of the line can be controlled without much effort.

The liner glides on smoothly and evenly, meaning mistakes are avoidable, and you can quickly build up solid lines for a dramatic 60s look.

As with the eyeshadow, the eyeliner stays put and doesn’t smudge, so your lines stay wonderfully defined all evening.  The only issue I had with the felt liner is that it was slightly stubborn and didn’t want to budge when I was removing it, but with a bit of patience it will be gone in no time.

A fantastic product overall, and great for the daytime too.  In fact, I’m wearing simple black lines right now and it looks fab!
