Top 10 Drugstore Products

Good afternoon everybody :). I have one exciting plan for this weekend, relaxing :), this week was kinda crazy for me. In today's post I will show you my top 10 drugstore products featuring some of my favorite drugstore brands such as NYX,MUA,e.l.f and more.I forgot to include the Revlon colorstay foundation, with which the total of products is 11 :)
Top 10 Drugstore Products
- MUA Undressed palette: This palette is great for everyday makeup, it has a good variety of neutral colors and for £4 it's a bargain, you should definitely check it out. You can read the review here :)

- MUA Blusher in Shade 2: A great matte, mid-tone pink blush which  is one of my favorite blushes :) You can read the review here.

- NYX Round lipstick in Ceto: My go to lipstick for all occasions, I love it and always get compliments when I wear it. I'm almost out of it and will definitely repurchase is once the NYX online store in Greece opens! You can read the review for lipstick here.

- NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk: If you haven't tried this one yet then what are you waiting for? The jumbo pencil is great eyeshadow base and I use it every single day with an eyeshadow primer. I can't do eye makeup without it :).

- e.l.f. Eyelid primer: I like both eyeshadow primers from e.l.f and this is the one I'm currently using. I recently compared it to UDPP and you won't believe how similar they are, you can read it here.

e.l.f. clear mascara: I really like this and I'm using for my eyebrows everyday, it keeps the eyebrow hair in place.

e.l.f. High Definition Powder: Great translucent loose powder which I use to set my foundation, you don't need a lot and it will last you for very long time!

e.l.f Studio Bronzer in Warm: I love this product ever since I got it. I has 2 bronze shades, 1 peachy and 1 kinda beige. I have used this as bronzer, blush and highlighter.

- Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara: My favorite drugstore mascara of all time. I would say that this is even better than some high end mascaras. If you haven't tried it you definitely should!. You can read the review for this mascara here.

- MUA Lip Balm in Great Lips: I recently won this in a giveaway and I can't believe I haven't tried it before. I really like and use it quite often. I will have a review for it very soon so follow my blog to be notified when I will post it :)

- Revlon Colorstay Foundation: I don't think I need to say much about it, everybody knows it and I think it is one of the best drugstore foundations. Also the colorstay active is as good as original but it gives a bit less coverage.

What are your favorite drugstore products? Let me know in the comments below.

MUA Mosaic Blush in English Rose Review

Hello my lovely readers. Today's post will the a review of MUA's mosaic blush in English Rose. I won this blush in a giveaway and I wanted to try the MUA's mosaic blush for long time. So first lets have a look at some pictures.

*in shade*                                                           *direct sunlight*
The packaging is the standard sleek black with transparent lid that most of the pro range MUA products have. I do love the transparent lid as its easier to see which product you want to use without opening it.
If you swirl through colors you get a nice pink with hint of lilac color as you can see on the picture above. It's 
not a matte blush, it's rather shimmery and if you look closely you can see some glitter too. I do like the final color... I believe that it's pretty much not possible to use the colors individually as the they are too small but you could try to with a small brush and see how it works for you.
It isn't very opaque but this is something that I like when I use blush or highlighter because I can easily control the amount of product I apply on my face. Of course some of you might not like that because I know some people would prefer very opaque blushes. Because it's not very opaque you get a really pretty finish that would be great for any time of the day.
To be honest with you this mosaic blush works for me better as highlighter than blush. Mainly because it's too shimmery for my liking. I prefer blushes that are close to matte finish. Although if you are a fan of shimmery blushes then this will work great for you .
Overall this is a good blush but for me this is more like highlighter, it is a pretty color and I would recommend it for someone who likes shimmery,not very opaque blushes. This blush does contain parabens... I have used it in this look

Buy it from £2.50 fro MUA store or Superdrug

Have you tried it? Do you like matte or shimmery blushes?

MUA Blusher in Shade 2 Review

Hello my lovely readers,hope you  had a great weekend I did :)... First let me tell you that I wasn't interesting in blushes until recently. Pretty much always, even though I had few blushes, I almost never used them.Now since I started to like and wear blushes more I decided to try one from MUA.The MUA blushers come in 6 shades and they retail for just £1 each. The one I got is in shade 2.
MUA Blusher in Shade 2

The packaging is standard sleek black with transparent lid that many of MUA products have. I love the fact that the lid is transparent as you can easily see the color of the product. It contains 2,6 g of product,decent amount of product for £1. The only thing that annoys about the packging of my blusher is that the lid is loose and opens very easily. Now let's look at some more pictures.

This is a pretty,soft pink color which will suit many skin tones. It's pigmented enough, I would say it has the perfect amount of pigment so you can easily control it while applying it and won't end up the bright pink cheeks. What I love is that this blusher is matte. I really hate when the blushes are shimmery because I want to be able to choose which areas of my face will be matte and which shimmery. It is a bit powdery but it blends very easily... On me,during summer,this blusher won't last for very long. It will last for about 4 hours,then it starts to disappear. 
Overall I would say it a very nice blusher and I will buy it again in the future.

Do you wear blushes? Which one is your favorite?

ELF HAUL/1ST ELF ORDER

So after doing a search on the internet i came across this brand,ELF,im sure pretty much all of you already know it if not already using their products.
Im a university student,currently dont have a job,so i found elf to be a good make up brand for me since i was looking for quality products on low prices.
I order from elf when they had 40% off and that make my order even better deal that i could imagine :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Έτσι μετά από  μια αναζήτηση στο διαδίκτυο βρήκα αυτή τη μάρκα, ELF, είμαι βέβαιη ότι λίγο πολύ όλοι σας την γνωρίζετε ήδη, μπορεί και να χρησιμοποιείτε ήδη τα προϊόντα τους.
Είμαι φοιτητής πανεπιστημίου, επί του παρόντος δεν έχω μια δουλειά, έτσι βρήκα ELF να είναι μια καλή μάρκα με προϊόντα μακιγιάζ για μένα, αφού έχουν ποιοτικά προϊόντα σε χαμηλές τιμές.
Παρήγγειλα το ELF, όταν είχαν 40% έκπτωση κάτι που έκανε την παραγγελία μου ακόμα καλύτερη ευκαιρία από οτι  θα μπορούσα να φανταστώ

Heres what i bought from ELF


Elf studio bronzer in Warm - £3.50
Elf studio high definition powder - £6.00
Elf mineral eyeshadow primer - £3.00
Elf Liquid Eyeliner in black&stardust - £1.50 each
Elf Wet Gloss Lash And Brow Clear Mascara - £1.50
Elf Mechanical Eyelash Curler - £1.50



I also bought some of their brush, i'm gonna list them down below and in later blog post will do a review for each of them


Elf studio blush brush - £3.50
Elf studio complexion brush - £3.50
Elf studio small angled brush - £3.50
Elf studio small precious brush - £3.50
Elf studio stipple brush - £3.50
Elf eyeshadow brush - £1.50




Overall my experience with ELF was good ,if i remember well the package came in less than 5 days , which is a good standar delivery time , all the items where i perfect condition , nothing was broke.
I would totally recomend to check this brand out since it has good quality products . They ,also, do regularly offers such as 40% or 50% off 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Η συνολική εμπειρία μου με το ELF ήταν καλή, αν θυμάμαι καλά το δέμα ήρθε σε λιγότερο από 5 ημέρες, είναι ένας καλός χρόνος παράδοσης σε standar delivery,όλα τα πράγματα ήταν σε άριστη κατάσταση, τίποτα δεν έσπασε.Θα ήθελα να συστήσω αυτή την μάρκα σε όλους, δεδομένου ότι έχει καλής ποιότητας προϊόντα και κάνουν συχνα προσφορές όπως 40% ή 50% έκπτωση
