MUA 3 in 1 eXtreme Contour Pens

MUA 3 in 1 eXtreme Contour Pens - £1.50

Black, Smoked Plum, Sage, Brown

I hope MUA don't mind me saying that these are some strange looking products! However, I understand the strange shape of the pens as it's all about using the different angles and points of the nib to create precision.

The widest part of the nib can be used to apply an all over colour to the lid while the edges and points of the nib can be used to really get into the creases and create great sweeping designs. I've been trying to follow the MUA blog and have been trying out their different looks, but it's taking a lot of practice.

The pens are great for blending and I found that the plum/sage/brown is a great combination, made more daring with a hint of the black. Originally the only shade available was black, but now there are a total of seven different shades including the 4 I've picked up, as well as Auburn, Gunmetal, Mint and Sea Blue.

I think these are really worth the money. They're lovely and soft to apply and easy to blend. With a little practice I'll be creating great eye make-up designs in no time! (Fingers crossed!)

Mulberry S/S12

As if I didn't want a Mulberry bag enough, this advertising campaign has just made the need even stronger!

This has got to be one of the most exciting, colourful and fun campaigns I've seen from a brand in a long time and with Mulberry being a British institution, it was only right for it to be shot on none other than Brighton beach!

The campaign images are like traditional British postcards featuring the famous pier, sticks of rock, candy stripes and ice-cream! Oh, and the new handbag collection of course! And as if the bags weren't enough, the outfits consisting of cute ankle socks, wedges and an overall kitsch theme are adorable!

What do you think of the campaign?

Korres Lip Butter in Guava

Korres Lip Butter in Guava - £6

I finally have it! And by 'it', I mean Korres Lip Butter in Guava. I've seen this lip butter all over the blogging community and have wanted it for absolutely ages, but because I'm always so difficult, I only wanted the Guava shade which was continually out of stock.

I'm not sure how popular/good Korres is as a brand but personally I think £6 is a little steep, which is why I waited until I could get it on ASOS with free delivery. I got totally swept up with this product as I saw it on loads of blogs, which instantly made me want it, making me pay the £6 for such a small product!

However, it feels like a lovely, higher-end product and the smell is delicious, which kind of makes up for the price tag! I was put off by the red/pink shades because there is a slight tint to the butters and I never wear any colour on my lips. I much prefer non coloured balms and butters, so Guava is perfect with only a little sheen/shimmer. Luckily for me, it's not the type of lip balm that you constantly lick off all day long and it contains Shea Butter and Rice Wax, which really hydrates cracked lips like mine!

I'm definitely hoping to try out some more Korres products and I've heard they're sold at Waitrose as well, so I need to have a little browse.

Have you tried the Korres Lip Butters before?
