I picked up these MUA lipglosses on a recent mooch around Superdrug (does anyone else find themselves 'mooching' around the makeup stands looking for a bargain makeup-fix at the end of the day?) I'm really not a lipgloss person at all. The one lipgloss i use and love is a Sephora one, and being from the UK, i am aware i'm going to struggle to get my mitts on a replacement. So, i picked up a couple of the MUA ones as i liked the look of the colours (and the price..lets face it, MUA are a flipping steal if you're on a bit of a budget..like myself at this current moment in time..)
The first shade i picked up is in 'Shade 1' (ohh MUA..i wish you named your products..poor nameless little things they are..). I'm a lover of lilac shades when it comes to lipsticks so i figured this would be a good choice. It's full of shimmery-bits and goes nicely with my pink/lilac lipstick shades.
The pigmentation is suprisingly quite decent for a lipgloss (i hate it when they look brightly coloured in the tube and then amount to nothing on the lips), i prefer a subtle sheer colour and this is exactly what the MUA glosses deliver. They do feel slightly sticky and i definitely won't be wearing these glosses on a windy day (long hair + wind + lipgloss = annoyance!). The consistency is the only thing i wasn't too keen on but it wouldn't put me off buying anymore - for £1 you can't really go wrong.
The second shade i picked up is 'Shade 4', a lovely corally orange tone. I've really got into coral lipsticks just recently, and i've really been loving peach as a shade in general for Spring. I wore this over a coral/nude coloured lipstick on a recent night out, and it seemed to last suprisingly well.
I'm still not convinced i have successfully replaced my beloved Sephora lipgloss, but i'd probably still pick up a couple more of the MUA glosses. For the price i think you get a decent bit of product and the quality is on par with some of the more expensive drugstore brands on the market.

ReplyDeleteThey're so good for £1! I always go mad at the MUA stand - for the price the quality is just as good as some other drugstore brands xx
DeleteI actually picked a kind of mauve-brown one and i really didnt like it, maybe I just picked the wrong one <3 xx
ReplyDeleteHmm.. maybe it's just the colour but i must admit i'm not keen on the consistency! xx
