MUA review

The other day, I was in Superdrug having a good old mooch as you do. I came across a MUA stand, otherwise known as Makeup Academy. I have seen various reviews on this brand, most of them have been really positive. So I thought I would give the brand a try, I ended up purchasing a few things from the range. The first was the 'Heaven and earth eyeshadow palette'. The colours are absolutely beautiful and can be used daily for a natural look. The pigmentation is amazing, something I would not expect from such a cheap palette, It was amazing for £4.










I also picked up two lipsticks, shade 2 and shade 3 (I wish MUA would have had names for the colours but still). I think the packaging is actually pretty and I quite like it. At only £1 each, I was surprised at how highly pigmented these lipsticks were. The colours are really pretty too, The lipsticks were surprisingly moisturising also, Bonus!






Lastly, I brought a single eyeshadow (Also cost £1) in shade 11. It's sort of a taupe kind of colour, again the pigmentation was really good. again, I do wish MUA would create names for their colours but at £1 a pop, you can't really complain. The packaging is simple, but good. I have found that they do tend to break if they are left in your bag (I brought one a few months back and it broke) but as it stays in my make up draw it stays pretty :)




     Overall MUA have really impressed me and I will definitely be purchasing more from this brand!

 Have you tried any brands from MUA? What did you think?
