MUA matte palette

Pür mascara

  I really wanted to love this, the colour is great and the application on the eyelashes is quite nice, leaving you with real dark lashes... it does go on quite thick. HOWEVER, by lunchtime, I looked like a panda because it had run off my lashes. I think something is going amiss with the…
