300 Followers Giveaway | CLOSED

Hello hello everyone. If you read the yesterday's post or looked at the GFC widget you will see that I passed the 300 followers. I have said in the past that I wanted to do a giveaway once I reach that milestone. The only thing that was holding me back is the shipping cost, I was seeing crazy numbers like 22 euros for up to 1kg packages but I think I finally figured it out and lets hope that the cost won't be that crazy!

So today I'm starting my first ever blog giveaway. Because it is my first, the prize won't be huge or expensive but I've chose to giveaway 2 lovely eyeshadow palettes from MUA which I really like and use quite often. One luck winner will have the chance to win brand new and unopened MUA Undressed Palette and Going for Gold Palette.

In case you don't know about these palette the Undressed palette is a very close dupe for UD Naked palette and the Going for Gold is limited edition platte for Olympics.You can read and see the swatches for the Undressed palette here and for Going for Gold here.
I really love them both and specially the Undressed since I'm using it for my everyday makeup!

MUA Going for Gold Review and Swatches

Hello my lovely readers... About a week or so I received my order from MUA which included the Going for Gold palette and some other goodies... Few weeks back MUA announced a limited eyeshadow palette for the Olympics. Me and many other people thought that the palette would have the colors from the Olympics rings but instead the palette has mixture of grey,gold and brown colors. I must say that at the first look I was a bit disappointed with it but after looking at some swatches and pictures of the Going for Gold palette I really liked it. Let's have a look at some pictures

The packaging is same black plastic with transparent lid that other MUA eyeshadow palettes have but this ,

as you can see, has square pans for the eyeshadow instead of round that the MUA palettes usually have. Because of the square pans you get more products for each color but you get only 10 shades instead of 12.

Now let's look at some swatches.

*in shade*

(i used tiny amount of elf eyelid primer)

The eyeshadows are mostly shimmery, the shades 2 and 6 are matte and the shade 1 semi matte. All of them are pigmented but I would suggest to use an eyeshadow primer and/or eyeshadow base to get the most pigment out of the eyeshadows. They are a bit powdery and might see small amount of fallout with some eyeshadows.What I noticed while using these eyeshadows is that with the shades 4,5 and 10 in order to get a good amount on the brush you kinda need to dip into eyeshadow more than once or twice. This "problem" disappears after using the eyeshadows couple times.

As always on the back of the palette you will find the eyeshadow numbering, a mini tutorial for eye makeup and the ingredients.

Overall I would say this is a good palette for someone who likes this kind of colors. I quite like it although I am not a huge fan of grey eyeshadows. I have already created 2 looks using this palette that you can find here and here and probably will have more in the future. The only negative is that the eyeshadows contain parabens.

You can buy it online from the MUA store for £4 plus shipping.

Do you own this palette? What do you think of it?
