Review: MUA Single Eyeshadows!

I thought I'd so another post on MUA eyeshadows, since I love MUA eyeshadows so much and in my opinion the best on the market. I've got 10 of the single eyeshadows, I had a few more but i hit pan so here's the MUA eyeshadows I now own.

Top Row Shades Left to Right: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 
Bottom Row Shades Left to Right: 7, 9, 11, 16, 26

Here's a closer look with the lids off.


Top Row Swatches! 

 Left to Right: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6,

Bottom Row Swatches!

Left to Right: 7, 9, 11, 16, 26


Wow.

Quality and price tags like this make you wonder why some brands charge so much for a eyeshadow of similar size and shade. As you can tell by the pictures these eyeshadows are VERY pigmented, shade 16 on the bottom row isn't as pigmented. All these eyeshadows are pearl apart from shade 16, which is Matt. I find that the lighter Matt shades aren't as pigmented as the darker ones, but hey for £1 why complain about 1 or 2 Matt eyeshadows in the full MUA single eyeshadow range. The lasting power on these is incredible! And dare I say better then MAC! That is without a primer on both. 

The packaging isn't the most fanciest in the world, but it definitely does it's job. When i was taking the photos for this post I dropped shade 7 on the floor, and it remained in perfect condition. So these eyeshadows are definitely travel friendly. I only have one complaint about the packaging and that is the doomed shaped lid, which makes them slightly tricky to store. On the back of the packaging it tells you the shade number, and formula type. 

Availability wise the MUA £1 range is in most Superdrugs which i know of so there quite easy to get your hands on. You can also order off the MUA website, they've usually got an offer on as well you might be able to pick yourself up another bargain! Overall I can't recommend these eyeshadows enough! For £1 you get 2g's of highly pigmented eyeshadow with a great lasting power, what more could you ask for! No matter how long you've been into makeup, I would definitely advise you try out MUA eyeshadows as in my opinion are the best eyeshadows you can get.

Review: MUA Pencil Eyeliner

Today I'm going to be reviewing the MUA Pencil Eyeliners. You can buy MUA eyeliner's in Superdrug in the UK for only £1! You can also buy them online from MUA's website.
I have 8 of these eyeliners.
Top to Bottom : Rich Brown , Jade Jewel, Pink Sparkle, Lilac Sparkle, Turquoise , Blue Babe , Silver Sparkle , Snow White
In the same order.

The pigmentation on these eyeliners is amazing for only a £1 each! This is only a few swipes and the shades appear extremely vibrant and bold. The lid of the eyeliners also have a sharpener attached to it so its perfect for travelling or taking out with you to reapply. The staying power is great for the price too, they last all day and don't smudge, however if your wearing them singly on your lid i would recommend using MUA's eye primer and a base shadow. The formula is very creamy and the eyeliners come in a great range of colours. They don't have a nasty scent and you get a great amount of product for the price.

I would easily recommend this product to anyone who wants to try a different shade they normally wouldn't go for , or anyone who just wants a good quality eyeliner.

Review: MUA Lipsticks!

Just before i start I'd like to say a big thanks to everyone who has read my blog the past few days as my views have shot up by 50% Thanks a Billion! Its great to know people are reading what i write!=)

Well today I'm reviewing the MUA Lipsticks. I have 6 of these little gems all for a grand total of £6. Only £1 per lipstick! In case your new to my blog MUA lipsticks are purchased from Superdrug, the whole MUA range is only £1 each , charging slightly more for "pro range products". 

 Left to Right Shades : 4,5,6,7,11,15
Here's a better view of what the shades appear like, they're in the same order as photographed before.

  • Shade 4 : Barbie Pink , however toned down a bit with a glossy finish.
  • Shade 5 : Very glittery , very shimmery pale pink.
  • Shade 6 : A darker pink with a slight purple/blue undertone in it.
  • Shade 7: Sort of a coral/pink with a slight undertone of red 
  • Shade 11: A dark reddish colour however not quite red, a everyday red really.
  • Shade 15: A nude with a hint of pale pink.
 Swatches left to right : 4,5,6,7,11,15
Both swatch pictures show the amazing quality of the lipsticks.

I absolutely love these lipsticks! Can you believe the swatches above are only 1 swipe?! For a £1 lipstick?! You honestly can't go wrong! The lipsticks are extremely pigmented and very moisturising. The packaging doesn't look at all cheap either , they look alot like the nyx lipsticks. They last for a more then fair amount of time too , generally about 3-4 hours. Even after the shimmer and shine starts to fade you are still left with a hint of the colour on your lips. These are great dupes for some higher branded lipsticks. They come in a great colour range to, there are 16 lipsticks in the full range and i think i will definitely get more. All in all they are great lipsticks and i would definitely recommend them to anybody. 
Also if you live outside of the UK MUA have their own website which do deliver internationally, sorry i forgot to mention this in yesterdays post about the blush.

Thanks for reading , have a nice day =) xxx

Review: MUA Blusher

Most people by now would probably have come across or heard of MUA. I've mentioned it in posts before but basically , MUA is famously known as the "£1 makeup range" MUA is found in Superdrugs in the UK and came out May 2010, last year MUA expanded their range out with more products called the "Professional Range" prices ranging from £1.50-£4.

Anyway enough rambling on , the blushers i am going to be reviewing today are from the £1 range. There is 6 blushers to choose from and i have 4 of them.
Top two left to right : Shade 1 , 2
Bottom two left to right: Shade 3 , 6

Shade 1 is a bright barbie pink. Shade 2 is also a pink however its less brighter then shade 1 and ever so slightly darker. Shade 3 is a beige/nude. Shade 6 is a very dark almost brown colour.

                                             You cant really see the shade numbers on this picture....
  Here's a better picture of what the true shades are like.
Swatches! Left to right : 6 , 3, 2,1

These blushes are amazing for only a £1 each! You get a great amount of product in the pan, and there really pigmented too, this is only 2 swipes. They last all day and stay perfect, i would definitely recommend everyone to have one of these in their makeup bag to use. They don't have that nasty smell that most budget brand blushers have .

My only complaints is that i think they could have them in a more nuder colours , like a very light peachy/nude for those who are paler eg. me.

Overall these are great blushes and i would definitely recommend them to anybody.

Thanks for reading =)
