Mini Haul | MUA Cosmetics

Today I went to my local Superdrug and picked up a couple of the MUA products. I haven't have them long enough to do a full review on but I can give you a first impressions of them. The products are really cheap, and mine vary from £1-£4. For the price, the products are excellent quality and I really would like to get some more from their range.


These are the things I got, the 2 lipsticks were £1 each, the highlighter was £3 and the pallete was £4. 


This is the highlighter, it is extremely pigmented with undertones of pink. It goes on really nicely and looks really nice when it catches the light. It is a great dupe for MAC's 'Extra Dimension Highlighter'.



This is the 'Undress Me Too Pallete'. It has a great range of shimmery and matte colours. The colours are really pigmented, easily to apply and blend-able. This pallete is a huge dupe for Urban Decay's 'Naked 2 pallete', and is about a tenth of the price.




Here are some swatches.


From left to right, 'Naked', 'Tranquil', 'Devotion' and 'Exposed'.


From left to right, 'Shy', 'Reveal', 'Fiery' and 'Wink'.


From left to right, 'Lavish', 'Obsessed', 'Dreamy' and 'Corrupt'.



I was pleasantly surprised with these lipsticks. The one on the left, (shade 16) is an extremely pigmented matte orange peachy coral colour. The quality is really really nice, they are luxurious and smooth. I don't know if they stay on for long but i'll see soon!! The one on the right (shade 4) is not pigmented at all, but super super glossy. It has a tiny tiny bit of colour but not much. I really like it as I can wear it for school, and it keeps my lips moisturised.  They both are really moisturising. For £1 each, I can't stress enough how worth it they are and how good the quality is!! One thing i'd be really careful with is making sure they don't snap if you have rolled it up to much. I bought them, went into the toilets to try it one, rolled it up to much and it just snapped off. Luckily I went back to Superdrug and the women was really nice about it and swapped it straight away, just something to look out for!!


Top colour is shade 4, and bottom colour is shade 16.

  15. Hello India,

    I'm taking the freedom of leaving you a comment because I'm currently working on a fashion-related dissertation for my MSc. I'm doing a survey about the perception of young woman towards today's luxury brands ads, and if you, or any of your lovely reader, could take 5 mins and complete it, it would be of much much help :)
    Here the link of my survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/RVY9Z33
    Thank you!

    Lou
