MUA

For some reason any time I've passed by the MUA stand in Superdrug I'll have a quick glance at the products on the shelf but never bother to swatch any or have a proper look. The other day I spotted a few MUA bits on another blog and decided to finally pick up a few products for myself, after all at just £1 each you can't really go wrong.
I ended up with two lipsticks, shade 13 and shade 1 and a matte eyeshadow in a pale beige shade. The eyeshadow I'm not going to bother showing as I found it had terrible pigmentation and was really powdery, the lipsticks on the other hand - amazing!

Top - Shade 13, a gorgeous, vibrant red.
Bottom - Shade 1, a deep, cherry red.

To start, the pigmentation is incredible! The lipsticks glide on with ease, leaving you with a slightly glossy finish. I found them both to be moisturising and lasted well, although they do transfer quite a bit as you'd expect with a vibrant colour. As well as getting a decent amount of product, the base of the lipsticks pop off to reveal an extra pot of lippy if you're running low. The only negative thing I have to say about these is that I hate the packaging, they look quite tacky and very minimalist but what do you expect for a pound!

SHADE 13

Have you tried anything from the MUA range?

13 beauty obsessed ladies have an opinion...:

  1. The lipsticks are brilliant!
    I have shade 7- a shimmery corally colour and it's beautiful!
    Red really suits you xx

  3. I've tried one of the loose eye dusts which is really good and rather pigmented.
    These lipsticks look lovely. Did you apply straight from the bullet and also did you use a liner?
