MUA Nectar Shade 16 - Lipstick Review

So today I put this lipstick on, as I've had it a few weeks now but haven't really tried it out.
Today when I glided it on I realised what a gorgeous colour it is, especially for a £1 lipstick so decided it would be great to review it for all of you.

MUA is a bargain beauty brand from Superdrug and most products are priced at just £1, like this lipstick.
I am a fan of their products, although some are really representative of their £1 price tag, others are good in quality and stand up there with lines such as Barry M and Rimmel.

This lipstick is called Nectar and in bullet form it looks like a dark peach colour, however when swatched or put onto the lips it comes out as a sheer orange which feel moisturising and it easily buildable for a more pigmented finish.

Due to the sheerness it has a glossy finish which means you wouldn't need to put lip gloss or balm over the top of the lipstick, though I would ensure that your lips are well moisturised before application as many MUA lipsticks, whether matt or gloss finish tend to cling to any dry patches on your lips.

Overall I think this is a gorgeous summer colour and would look FAB with a tan, thumbs up to MUA for creating another gorgeous lipstick with a small price tag.

MUA Nail Polish Shade 24 Review

The other day I decided there was a colour I did not own in my ever-growing nail collection, and that colour was a lilac.
Now I have always wanted Berry Ice Cream from Barry M, but I only buy Barry M when it's on 2 for £5 and I don't currently have £5 to spend on a couple of nail varnishs so I decided to have a look into my favourite cheap brand of MUA.

As a brand where most products are £1, if it's rubbish quality, well it was only a pound is my thinking.

So I went to Superdrug and found the colour I was looking for, Shade 24, a lovely lilac looking polish.

The colour is absolutely gorgeous, and so far I have only been wearing it since yesterday but I have been out last night (drinking, oops) and usually any nail polish I wear chips but this one has stayed completely intact so the wear (so far) seems pretty good !

The only complaint I would make it the consistency of the product, when applying I found it hard to get a good amount of polish onto the brush and it went on quite sticky and I didn't find it easy to spread across the nail, however, I may have just got a bad bottle who knows?

Overall, for £1 I think this is a pretty good nail varnish, the first of MUA I have had and I am not disappointed!

7/10!
What do you think? Would you recommend any other shades?

MUA Bare (Shade 14) lipstick review + OOTD

So MUA is one of my personal favourites for cheap make-up that has quality!
When I saw they had a new shade along with giving their lipsticks names and not just numbers (which is great) I couldn't resist, especially with it being called Bare, and I love love love nude shades recently.

The coverage of this lipstick isn't the best after one coat, but after a couple of coats it really shows the amazing shade it can reach and would be a perfect shade for most skin tones.

The smell of the product isn't unpleasant but it doesn't really smell of anything familiar either.
Overall I am rather taken with this product, I tend to wear it often within the daytime and can see myself having to purchase another in a few months time considering it's only £1 I feel I can use it as often as I wish !

The lasting power of this lipstick is also good, as a slightly matte finishing product it gives around 3 hours coverage before needing to be reapplied !!
Personally, I would recommend everyone to get this beauty :)
What do you think?

In terms of my outfit today, it was nothing special, I decided to be a tad gothic and went for all black!!
Sorry for the blurriness, my camera seems to not have a stability mode, or maybe I just can't find it? ahhaha
