I first heard about MUA on A Sprinkle Of Glitter, otherwise known as Louise, YouTube Channel. I loved the sound of the prices! So while I was at the Trafford Centre I hoped into Superdrug and picked up two of the MUA Trio Eye shadows. I picked these because it was my school leavers do coming up and I was practicing what look I wanted to have. Ever since I have kept on buying the odd piece of MUA, it is always a good feeling when I have a couple of pound in my purse and I can nip into Superdrug and treat myself because of how wonderfully cheap everything is!
So here are all my MUA favourites!
Firstly may I just my camera and these pictures don't fully pick up on the colours of these products, but it gives you a rough idea!
This is the MUA Trio Eye Shadow in Smoke Screen. These eye shadows are gorgeously pigmented! The MUA Trio Eye Shadows are perfect for nights out, because of how much of a strong look you can create! The is especially good to create a really dark smoky eye, you can layer the colours and contour effectively.
This is the MUA Trio Eye Shadow in Pink Sorbet. These colours have a gorgeous shimmer to them and they aren't scary pinks. Sometimes pink eye shadow can be a complete no go! But these... I LOVE. before I tried this I never used anything other than black or brown eye shadow, I am now so much more open to trying different colours!
This is the MUA Trio Eye Shadow in innocence. This is my holy grail of eye shadows, if I'm in a rush or can't decide on eye shadow colours, this is my go to item. It is such a lovely neutral palette! You can also build it up because of how pigmented they are! They blend beautifully and I am completely in love with this! By far my favourite piece of make up I own.
My next favourite of MUA is the 3 in 1 extreme contour liner in Brown. I initially bought this for my eye brows, as I was hunting around for something affordable I came across this, swatched it on my hand and really liked it! Although it is a little thick on your eye brows it creates a very defined brow and is perfect if you have dark features like me. The reason it is called the 3 in 1 is because you can create 3 different looks with it, which I have swatched below.
My next favourite from MUA is this powder blush in shade 4. This colour is a lovely coral colour, although it is a tad too pigmented so if you don't use this lightly you end up with a lovely bright orange blob on your face. So blending is key when it comes to MUA blushers! I do really enjoy this blusher it creates a fresh glowing look!
My next favourite is something I tried once my MUA 3 in 1 has run out, was the MUA PRO-BROW ultimate eyebrow kit. This was literally a spur of the moment chuck in my basket, didn't even look at the price kind of thing! I tired it as soon as I got home and really liked it! You get four different colours a dark and light brow shade, a highlighter and a gel to set your brows. You get a little double ended brush and a mini pair of tweezers. It also has a fold over mirror but unfortunately I dropped mine and it broke from the base. It is really handy to take out with you and touch up through the day. The brow shades themselves are really light and don't make your brows feel heavy. If that makes sense. So I recommend buying this if you are on a budget! I do think that this is a bit of a dupe for the Sleek Brow Kit which I have also got lined up to buy and try!
So here we have ANOTHER MUA eye shadow in shade 19 - matt. I bought this because the MUA Trios have a shimmer and after a while I got a bit fed up of always having a shimmery eye. This is where I ventured again to Superdrug and gave this a try! Typically of MUA it is pigmented, with this eye shadow you need to definitely use a primer and a base of eye shadow otherwise it doesn't blend too well and can be patchy! But once I learnt and practiced with this eye shadow I love it! it is nice when I just want a small bit of colour on my eye just to add some contour.
This is probably in close second in my MUA favourites! MUA lipsticks are fabulous! They re so creamy and pigmented! This is in shade 11. This lipstick is such a lovely colour, I often use this when my make up if feeling a little dull and I want something that will go with what I'm wearing 90% of the time. I would definitely recommend buying some MUA lipsticks and at only £1 who can argue not to?! They are lush.
My finally MUA favourite product is the Matte Perfect Primer. I picked up this product because i had ran out of my pervious Bare Minerals Primer and could not afford to repurchase. I do like this primer, it makes my face feel a lot smoother when applying my foundation. You can also wear this on its own, it almost acts like a BB cream. As far as the "matte" part of it goes, for me it does nothing because I have oily skin, but it may work for someone who has combination or dry skin. If you are on a budge and are looking for a primer I would recommend this, it is cheap enough to try and you don't loose out if you don't like it.
Sorry if this post was a bit messy! but I hoped you like it! I am trying my hardest to get the hang of blogging, I have lots lined up so there will hopefully be some more coming in the next few days! Please feel free to comment!
Thankyou!
