My totally favourite makeup brand at the moment has to be
MUA available to us in the UK
Firstly MUA is very affordable, and their makeup ranges from
lips sticks for £1, blushers £1, £2. I have put a link to there website- http://www.muastore.co.uk/
So what have I brought
and what did I think?
As you can guess from my blog name LipSticksOfLove I do love
my lipsticks, so I was drawn straight to them.
I brought the following colours…
Shade in order from left to right
Shade 9, Shade 6, Shade 4, Shade 3
On my wrist..
In order on my wrist (because I mixed them up opps!)
Shade 9, Shade 3, Shade 6, and Shade 4
Now I have dark hair and dark brown eyes, and I always think that reds and bright pinks normally look better on me. But I have
started to be a “bit” more daring! I will start with my favourite of the 4 and
that has to be shade 3, wow what a
colour. I have a very similar colour by Sleek called loved up. Think I paid
about £5 for it, so an alternative for £1 is fab! The colour itself has great
pigment, the colour is really rich. I would say that the sleek one, once applied
to the lip isn’t going anywhere, where this isn’t as stay proof. But it does
look very fresh on the lip, rather then dry.
My next fav colour is Shade
6, again a lovely colour. For me more of a day to day colour. I work in an
office with all men so don’t always want a heavy lip! Again it isn’t stay proof
all day, but I would say it needs applying once or twice. It is moist on lip,
so great if you are prone to dry lips.
Next is Shade 9,
this is more of a brown shade then I would normally wear. I have only worn it
the once and I wore it with a quite light make up. I was actually surprised how
much I liked it, and made a change from the normal red and pinks I wear. The
lipstick again, looks fresh on the lips, and this shade has a slight shimmer to
it, so not ideal if you like your lips matt. Same as the other shades, it doesn’t
last all day so will need to be touched up once or twice thought the day.
Lastly and the one I was most disappointed with is Shade 4, and just because it doesn’t really
come out. You can see on the swatch on my wrist, it is very light and I have
put quite a bit on. This is ideal for a really light lip, if you have gone for
a heavy eye and instead of just going for a glossed lip you want to add a
little colour!
All in all, I will defiantly be using all these lovely
lippys, and I am pleased with my purchases!
I hope this has help you a little if you are looking for
some new lipsticks :0)
