MUA cosmetics

muastore.co.uk

Yesterday I received my order from MUA, a new make up brand from Britain. I'd heard a lot of great stuff about them, and they're REALLY cheap, kind of like e.l.f., just cheaper and less products to choose from. And they also had an offer on 35% off and free shipping. So I went ahead and bought some stuff:
-Undressed Palette
-Immaculate Collection Palette
-Lipstick in shade 15
-Liquid Eyeliner in black
-Mosaic Blush in English Rose
That was 15 British pounds worth of products I got, with 35 percent off and free shipping. 


The Mosaic Blush

I haven't had time to test out the palettes yet, but the blush is gorgeous! There's though a lot of shimmer in it, but if you tap off the excess before applying, you'll get an amazing glow on your cheeks. I'm wearing it today, and I really like it. The pigmentation is just right for a blush, not super pigmented, but not dull or non-existent. It gets 4 out of 5 stars. 4 stars because of the shimmer, which takes some attempts to get to know. But because of the pretty colors in the blush, the great amount of product you get for practically no money, the price and packaging makes it a 4 and not 3. 

The Lipstick

The lipstick I bought only cost me one British pound (ca. 10 danske kroner). I couldn't believe how cheap it was and expected it to be a poor lipstick with bad pigmentation, a drying formula, poor packaging which would easily break and a little amount of product in the lipstick-case.
And now I'm sitting here, completely overwhelmed with the quality of the lipstick. Great color, a pretty warm nude, which really suits my skin tone. It's that kind of nude, that doesn't require completely precise application. I can apply it as if it was a lip balm and not worry about a strange-looking set of lips. 
And it doesn't dry my lips out, the feel soft and moisturized while I'm wearing it. And the packaging is not to complain about. The little transparent pot at the end of the lipstick is a teenie-tiny pot of lip gloss?! I think that it's a great idea and it made me smile big time, it's quite cute. 
This lipstick gets, also, 4 out of 5 stars! I'm amazed, I must admit!! 

Bonus information:

The Immaculate Palette
The Undressed Palette
It is said, that the Undressed Palette is a dupe for the Urban Decay Naked Palettes, and the Immaculate Palette is said to be a palette with dupes for many Mac eyeshadows. Of course there will be some misses, but I think the palettes look really good and some shades are so pretty I want to eat them. As you can see it's warm colors in the Undressed palette, and a mix of warm and cool colors in the Immaculate Palette. I'm looking forward to give you ladies a detailed review of these two treasures!! I'll post pictures and maybe a tutorial on how I got the looks :)
