I’m going to start this post by apologising about the
picture quality. My camera is old and on its last legs. Right, now on to the
post…
Today I popped into my local Superdrug with one intention;
to buy MUA’s Love Heart’s nail varnish in ‘I Want U’. Here’s what I ended up
leaving the store with:
If there’s one word I could use to describe most MUA
products, it would be pigmented. Each of the products I’ve purchased today
prove that description to be right, which is always nice. Sorry there's no swatches. I got annoyed with my camera.
I couldn’t resist buying the Undressed palette.
There’s been
so much talk about how it’s a dupe for the Naked palette (a palette I’ve wanted
for a long time) so I’d be crazy not to buy MUA’s palette for just £4. The
colours are beautiful and I know I’m going to get a lot of use out of every colour.
The palette is made up of 12 shadows. 2 are matte and the rest are shimmery - some more than others. Shimmery eyeshadows usually scare me but these are my ideal shades and just perfect!
As you can see, I managed to get the nail varnish I wanted.
I can’t wait to paint my nails with this. Orange isn't the usual colour I'd opt for on my nails but this colour is incredible! The brush seems to be better than
some of the brushes you get in their £1 nail varnishes as they could sometimes
be a bit hit and miss (I still love them though! I actually own about 13!). Maybe when I’ve painted my nails, I’ll add a picture of
them at a later date.
MUA are currently running a deal both online and in
Superdrug stores whereby if you spend £6 on MUA products, you get a free Artiste
collection palette. So because of these two purchases, I got the palette free,
yay! The colours are beautiful. It includes 6 marbled eyeshadows, 2 blushes, 1
bronzer, and a highlighter.
My personal favourites from this palette are: chocolate (5th eyeshadow colour),
cookie (last eyeshadow colour), primrose (second blusher), bronzed, and shimmer kiss. That being said, all the colours
are great!
Finally, I bought a lipstick in Shade 13. I’ve become a little
bit obsessed with red lipstick recently. I don’t know why because it’s such a
bold colour and I tend to shy away from them but it’s just such a classic look.
This lipstick applies evenly and lasts for a while. It’s the perfect shade of
red.
I love MUA products. They’re affordable and they have excellent
pigmentation and such a range of products. They always seem to have some kind of deal on too which is amazing. Better yet, they keep adding items
to their collection… I can’t wait to get my hands on some of the fur nail
effect. It looks amazing!
What products do you love from the MUA collection and what would
you like to see added to it?
