Review | MUA Blusher, Concealer and Lipstick + Swatches

Hi Guys!

So, i went job hunting this morning, and thought I'd pop into Superdrug and see if there was anything i fancied, and look what i came across! I've wanted to try MUA products for a while now, and because they're such good value, i decided to purchase 3 items on their 3 for 2 offer. 
I purchased Shade 1 Blusher, Hide and Conceal in the 'Natural' shade and Shade 2 Lipstick! All brilliant buys!

Everything i bought!





















I took a while to decide what i was going to purchase, because it is all 3 for 2, i really had trouble picking from all the choice! If there were more nail varnishes in stock, i might have even swung towards them, but i am really glad i bought the items i chose. My first time purchasing MUA! I am definitely going to go back for more. I just can't get enough! 






So firstly lets look at the lipstick. I bought Shade 2 MUA lipstick from Superdrug. I decided to buy it because i wanted to be a bit more adventurous with the shades on my lips, and i usually only wear lip gloss, and i have to say its a really good buy. I put it on and its not too bright but you can definitely tell  it is there! It seems like just the right shade for me. I must admit that it does go on a little bit duller than expected, but for the price of it, it really is good quality makeup if you're on a budget. I loved the shade as well, it's a pinky purpley and it is so so cute! I just love it, the actual tube looks so professional as well, it's just brilliant. The way you can see the colour on the bottom, it really is well designed and it is a great lipstick. Thank you MUA!

The second item i purchased was the 'Hide and Conceal' Concealer from MUA, i bought it in the 'Natural' shade. It really evens out your skin tone and is an amazing concealer for the price it is. Just £1! Absolute bargain, it really is as good quality as some of the more expensive brands out there. 


MUA's NEW Hide&Conceal
When i put it on my face it seemed to be much lighter than my skin tone, which made me a bit worried, but if i rub it in it slightly it matches perfectly. I really love this concealer, i use it under my eyes to make them look wider and brighter, and to avoid dark circles, i just apply slightly more and don't rub it in as much because it makes it look more vibrant and light. I also use it on my eyelids as a primer or to make it look lighter if I'm just putting mascara on. It really does the trick, and makes you seem more awake and alert, than half asleep all day! So the MUA's 'Hide and Conceal' is brilliant, especially if you're on a budget. The only problem i have with it is that it doesn't stay up, you have to hold it unlike the lipstick. I am unsure whether this is a problem with just mine or everyones. But it doesn't really affect the performance of it, it still is a brilliant product. 
Shade 1 Blusher



Last in my '3 for 2' offer was the Shade 1 Blusher by MUA. I am pretty upset that i didn't purchase one of the new colours, but I'll just have to go back! Because with MUA, you really can because of the price. It's ah-may-zing. I really loved how when you open the case of the blusher, MUA is imprinted in the powder, it looks really professional and cute. I really like the feel of it, you can just slip it into your bag and take it with you, although the case does seem to be a little flimsy, so I'd keep it in a separate little bag to keep it safe and to avoid it spilling everywhere! But apart from that, i absolutely love it. It's a cute little shimmery powder that really makes a subtle, but really cute effect on your cheeks which i love. 
Swatches of the three. Blusher, lipstick & concealer






I highly recommend MUA, it's an amazing brand with very high quality products at crazy cheap prices! I love it and i am definitely going to buy again (I'm very excited to purchase the Fur Effect that you put on your nails! Ahh) I don't think I've ever got so excited about a brand before, MUA is definitely my new favourite and go-to brand. I'm so pleased with the products i have purchased, so go out there and get yourself some! You'd be silly not to! I love all three of the items i purchased on together, they go so well and give you a natural look that you can wear every day! It's so great, I've really been converted, everything i buy is going to be MUA now!
