MUA (Make-Up Academy) Haul

MUA (Make up Academy) as you know is only available in Superdrug at the moment,they are planning their own site to buy from as well,soon hopefully as Superdrug doesn't always have much stock instore and online.

Well its free postage online and there has been a 3 for 2 offer for a couple of weeks (its finished now boo hoo).I have been buying quite a lot mainly online,heres some pics of my recent haulage.

I`ll be doing reviews and swatches a little bit at a time as there's a lot to get through,and likely be more soon :)

Heres 2 of the MUA palettes Heaven & Earth and Starry Night,11 eye-shadows,1 eye-dust and a eye primer. 

Pressed powder,blusher and 2 metallic liquid eye-liners

All 13 shades of lipstick,they are 3 more due out soon so I guess I`ll have to get them to complete collection :)
I will be reviewing and swatching my MUA haul over the next few days(as its gonna be a long job),starting with the eye-shadows. I've done a review/swatches of the Starry Night Palette here

MUA (Make-Up Academy) Small Haul

I nipped into our local Superdrug other day and bought few MUA bits,I bought 4 lipsticks too but will be doing a separate post on those and I'm waiting for some  more lipsticks & eyeshadows I've ordered online too.Intend to re-do the lipstick review when they arrive as I shall then have shades 1-13,and a separate post on the eye-shadows,I desperately want eye shadow shade 13 couldn't find instore and out of stock online.:(Right I'm waffling now heres pic of some of my latest MUA goodies.

Left-right Powder Shade 1,Nail Polish Shade 1,Liquid Eye-Liner Shade-1,Liquid   Eye-Liner Shade- 3,3 in 1 Extreme Contour Pen -Black,3 in 1 Extreme Contour Pen-Brown.

Powder Shade 1

This powder seems a good match for my skin tone,feels lovely and soft and silky,and its a really generous amount for £1.The packaging is plain but its what's inside that counts and it doesn't come with a powder puff thingami,I use a brush anyway so that doesn't matter to me. I've not tried it properly yet over my foundation so will update once I have.

Nail Polish Shade 1

I like this shade its a very dark navy blue almost black with sparkles,really difficult to photograph.I had it on yesterday and it lasted really well no chips. I've swatched on a piece of paper as I couldn't be bothered doing my nails again.Only downside the writing on the bottle wears off really easily and also the shade number.

Liquid Eye-liners shade 1 and shade 3

Shade 1 is a gorgeous metallic green colour and shade 3 a metallic goldy colour.The applicator is a rubber kind of gizmo takes a bit of geting used to.These are a little on watery side,but if you apply and try not to smudge whilst they dry there fine.Heres pics on my eyes applied quite heavily so you can see it properly,excuse bad pic and my ugly wrinkly eyes ;)

Shade 1

Shade 3

Errgh my eyes are ugly :( nice eyeliner though

3 in 1 Extreme Contour Pen -Black,3 in 1 Extreme Contour Pen -Brown

I really love this eye-liners,I like how they are tapered at one side for a fine line and other end is thick for a thicker dramatic line.They come in a really handy twist up pen which is great no mucking about with sharpening and stuff. They are so soft and nicely pigmented don't drag on the eye at all,would be great for a smoky eye.Heres a swatch not a brilliant one ..sorry 

I bought a few more MUA bits instore and online,when they get delivered will be doing a review & swatches of the MUA lipsticks and single eye-shadows .

MUA (Make-Up Academy) Starry Night Palette

Just a quick review and swatches of the MUA  Starry Night Palette.I'm not going into much detail as there's loads of reviews about this little beauty. I'm a huge fan of  MUA a huge fan of budget brands in general,as I don't have much money to buy the posh prestige brands,and personally I don't buy into all the hype,advertising and marketing.

MUA is available exclusively in Superdrug in store and online (and there's free postage online till Xmas).If your thinking of buying MUA online check for reviews and swatches first as the pictures on Superdrugs site the shades are a bit off and you can`t really see them properly.I bought the Starry Night Palette along with the Heaven & Earth palette and quite a few other bits (be reviewing them soon) The MUA palettes are £4 and have 12 shadows.The Starry Night Palette palette has lovely shades ranging from blues lilacs,a pink and couple of darker shades,which are glittery and shimmery there are no matte shades.The shades are really lovely and soft and nicely pigmented,not got much more to say have a nosey at the swatches below.  Its a really gorgeous palette,I cant fault it and for £4 >>bargain ! Heres some swatches for your lovely eyes.

Nice Innit !!!

MUA(Make-Up Academy) Lipsticks & Nail Polish

If you`ve been living as a hermit in a cave somewhere,then I guess you`ve not heard of MUA (Make-Up Academy).It is a brand exclusive to Superdrug and is really really cheap as chips items range from £1 for the basic range,lipstick,mascara,powder,blush,eyeliner,mascara, eye-shadow,lip gloss,nail polish,liquid eye-liner.....yes all £1 !!.Then there's the professional range which cost from £1.50 -£4.I imagine your thinking £1 for make-up its gonna be pants,well no my good friends pants it certainly isn't.Ive bought quite few products online as my local Superdrug never has much MUA in stock and its free postage at the moment,plus there's a 3 for 2 offer on so you can get 3 MUA items for £2 cheap as chips :-).Like I say I bought a fair few bits over the last couple of weeks and I`ll be doing a few reviews and swatches for your delectation and delight.
I love the MUA lipsticks they are really good,lovely pigmentation nice and moisturising and quite long lasting.The first two I bought were Shade 1 and shade 3,this is the only downside to MUA they don't have shade names just numbers but what the hell its only a freaking pound !!

MUA (Make-up Academy) Shade 5

This is a lovely minty green shade,I really love it and its only £1 yes £1!! in fact most of the MUA range is £1.Ive got quite a few MUA polishes will be trying them out and posting pics.
Unfortunately I dyed my hair a reddy/purple shade with Stargazer Magenta(as seen on another of my Blog Posts here http://moonfairysworld.blogspot.com/2011/10/re-dyeing-my-hair-with-sargazer-magenta.html )
These kind of dyes are notorious for staining especially in first couple of weeks after you`ve dyed your hair.This is how my nails are now a day later,really stained with the hair dye,and I wake up every morning with a red forehead :)

Next time I dye my hair I`ll steer clear of light coloured nail polish.I`ll be doing my nails a dark purple tomorrow.
