The other week, I noticed that the lovely Liloo had tweeted about a fantastic MUA offer for reaching a certain number of likes on Facebook. Although money is a little tight right now, I felt I deserved a treat and bought a few things for myself and a few things for my 500 follower giveaway (items not shown here).
So what did I get?

MUA lipstick in shade 15 'Juicy' £1 - link
FROM L-R: lipstick, gloss, the two together
Just the lipstick
Just the gloss
The two together
MUA Lip Boom in 'Cheeky' £3 - link

MUA Going For Gold palette (£4, at £3 right now) - link
I had been wanting the Going For Gold palette for quite a while after seeing it on various other blogs. When the special offer came up, I couldn't resist adding it to my basket - and I'm super impressed. For the price, I don't expect the world but these eyeshadows are pretty impressive for the affordable price. Although most of the colours are best suited to a night time look, I have found myself reaching for the palette on more than one occasion for my daytime look, using the silver colours for a fresh look.
The Lip Boom I will admit was an impulse purchase. Having seen an array of reviews differing wildly in opinion, I knew it was a gamble. I don't think its too bad, I love the lipstick & the look the two give together but I'm not mad over the large chunks of glitter within the gloss.
I continue to buy MUA lipsticks for the simple reason that they are cheap and cheerful and they get the job done. They may not have the wear time of a MAC lipstick, but for the bargain price of £1, can you really complain?
What are your thoughts on MUA? Have you tried any of their products recently?

I've been really tempted by the Heaven and Earth palette recently, but I have a Naked Palette from Urban Decay so I don't really need it - I'd just really like it!! Makes no sense really given that I don't even wear makeup every day!!
ReplyDeleteLove that lipstick in Juicy!

Yeah, they are pretty similar! xo
DeleteI love MUA products so much, their a daily use for me. I love the Glitter ball palette but the lipsticks are my favorite, for a £1 you can't really go wrong and I always reapply mine anyway when out. The Going for Gold palette looks gorgeous too, I may have to get one myself!
