MUA Lipsticks

Hey!

As you can probably tell from the title, today's post will be about the MUA lipstick range. Now if you don't know what MUA is, it's an incredibly cheap brand of makeup in the UK [I'm not sure if it's available in any other countries?] that can be bought mainly in Superdrug. The majority of their single products are £1 - single eye shadows, lipsticks, eyeliners for example, and you can purchase full eyeshadow palettes for just £4. The only items I've tried are the lipsticks, bought on a total whim last year sometime. I have 6, and in total they cost...£6! I THINK I bought them online [along with some other items] but I may have bought them in store, I can't quite remember.

To be honest, most of the colours I very rarely use, purely because I don't think the colours are amazing. The deep red and the purpley pink colours are gorgeous though!

 
 
 
The MUA lipsticks are slightly smaller than average, but one thing I love about them is the packaging. For a £1 lipstick, you'd expect the cheapest designs ever, and although these ones are by no means lavish, they're fantastic for the price! The black-with-sliver-writing is attractive and the clear plastic cases at the base [filled with the ACTUAL lipstick!] is fantastic as you can see the definite colour of the product, without having to open the lid.

Shades 1 (a deep red) and 2 (a purpley colour) are my favourites!
 
Overall the MUA lipsticks are fantastic value. No, they aren't of the highest quality, have the most exquisit packaging or more beautiful colours, but they do have some pretty shades, good pigmentation and are amazing for those on a budget. You can't go wrong!
 
 
Have you tried the MUA lipsticks?
