Review of MUA highlighter!

hello all!
So sorry for the lack of posts, life has been a bit crazy lately! I've recently done quite a big make up haul so I will be posting more regularly!  Anyways, Today I will be reviewing Make Up Academy's new product " Undress your skin shimmer highlight". When I first saw this product I was REALLY excited because I have not found alot of brands that do a good highlight at a decent price. When buying this product I really did not know what to expect because MUA is a bit of a hit and miss with their products.After buying and swatching I really really love it! for only 3 pounds you really can't beat it! i use it to highlight down my nose, my cheeks, and anywhere else you want to show a bit more! Also I've found that it stays quite well and does not sweat off during the day.
when applied with no primer


PROS: very cheap, available in super drug, stays for a long time.
CONS: packaging is a bit cheap, but that is it!

so get out there and try this amazing highlighter! has anyone tried this product? what are your thoughts?

MUA (Make Up Academy) review, lip stick in shade "bare"

Hello everyone,
I know it may seem like my reviews are becoming a bit repetitive with my past two reviews being MUA as well, but with a recent haul I did I figured I'd review each item as I got around to trying it out myself. So anyways, today I am reviewing MUA's lip stick in shade "bare". If you have read my previous posts I basically say how much I overall LOVE anything that MUA has brought out thus far, and that I have tried.
Based on first impressions I loved this lip stick because it was only £1, and who doesn't love a bargain.?!
this is the packaging and a swatch of what it looks like on my hand.




It is a really beautiful nude glossy shade, and after a few hours it was still on and still glossy! Its not overly pink or chapped looking (for my skin tone anyways) this has become my new go-to nude lipstick.





Overall this product exceeded my expectations by far, And I would buy this product again in the future.
PROS: The price obviously, easily accessible online or from superdrug, long lasting, and great for olive like skin tones.
CONS: May be too glossy and not matte enough for some peoples preferences. Packaging isn't the *best*, But for £1 who cares?

have you tried any other shades from this company? let me know.

review of MUA (Make Up Academy) eyeshadow "undressed" pallete


hey guys! i'm back with another MUA review from my recent superdrug haul! up next is the eyeshadow pallete called "undressed". i'm pretty sure i'm not the only one who noticed it looks an awful lot like another pretty popular pallete.....*cough* Urban Decay's naked pallete *cough*. MUA has a couple of pallete's that looks so seriously similar to Urban Decay's "naked" & "naked 2" pallete. anyways, when purchasing this product it was only £4 so i figured there was NO way it would live up to the "Naked" hype. although, I was very pleasantly surprised with this product. the shimmers are gorgeous! the only thing i'd fault at all with this is the matte shadows (there's only two) aren't as pigmented as they *could* be but they are decent and for £4 you can't really beat it. 

 


I used shades number 6 and number 7 to do my look today. i'm also wearing MUA'S blush, but I will review that in a later post. the pay off with this is seriously so amazing. I've had them on for 6 hours or so







bottom line, I would buy this pallete again, over and over. the pay off is amazing and the price is amazing.

   PROS: affordable, great quality, accessible, great selection.
   CONS: two shades aren't as great as they could be, but that is basically the only con.
