Anyway, let me begin my review on my latest MUA haul. I only wanted to go on their website to see if i could get the Luxe Velvet Lips - which i actually couldnt get as it was out of stock, and ended up getting those in Superdrug. But still ended up spending £30.34 on makeup i didnt realise i NEEDED until i saw them!!
On to my first product.... £1 Nail Polish in Amaretto Crush.

MUA say:
The NEW Nail Varnish range from MUA - new shades, new bottle and a new and improved brush! A great range of amazing shades to suit any occasion- includes 3 new shades (Koala Bear, Bold Blue & Lush Lilac) that will keep you bang on trend! Apply the colour flawlessly with the new and improved brush. Don't forget to use the clear as a top coat too!
I just love this polish! As soon as the package arrived on my desk, i got it out and put it straight on! I'm so into pinks/corals at the moment, and this colour is just perfect for the Spring. It dries really quickly, isnt at all gloopy and is easy to apply. I found i needed 3 coats to make it as opaque as i liked, but the 3 coats dried well and didnt smudge - perfect! Super amazing value for a £1 when you think i spend over a tenner on most of my polishes! More colours please MUA!

This lipstick is beautiful! I was a bit worried it might be a bit too orange for me, but i just love it on! I wore it today (you can see it on my OOTD photo on my Instagram @blusherandbrownies ) It glides on so smoothly on top of my foundation (i always put foundation on my lips) its bright and lovely, but not too bright for work, feels really moisturising, will be my staple colour for the summer!

£1 Matte Lipstick in Pouty Pink
MUA say:
Everything from nudes to bolds, MUA's matte lipsticks are available in 5 wearable shades that glide smoothly over lips to give a beautiful non-glossy finish.
The beautiful natural pink colour glides over lips to give a soft matte finish

A pretty little pink lipstick perfect for these date nights! I do prefer regualr lipsticks, as i find matte ones tend to dry out my lips a little, but this colour was so cute i had to try it. Problem solved by putting a little bit of lipbalm on top!

Kiss Proof Lip Stain, £3 in Fabulicious
MUA say:
At last, colour that stays on with MUA’s Kiss Proof lip stain, the answer to the problem of 'bleeding' lipstick and lipstick that disappears all day long.
This is a very subtle lip stain that is barely there in colour. But its perfect if you are having a minimal makeup day. Its just like a felt tip pen and it smells amazing, very fruity. I think i should have gone for the Fruitalicious one, maybe the colour would have been a bit brighter.

All of the above is true! True i tell you!! I LOVE this product. I have quite dark circles naturally, no matter how much sleep i get, they only get better in the Summer . But this stuff is just a savious! I purchased the F3 brush (which is brilliant, MUA brushes dont shed hairs) and apply as instructed, and it is yellow let me warm you. I thought i'd have yellow circles, but you dont, it blends so well with your foundation, and makes me look less tired, and more fresh! And every day must have.

I have to apologise and say my photo isnt great, the swatch on the website is much better. But i love this eyeshadow palette. I have Undress Me as well, in my previous review. Undress Me Too is perfect for creating some beautiful day time looks, i've had a lot of compliments on my eyeshadow creations this week. The colours are lovely, some are very subtle, but they do last well all day. Some say this is a dupe for UD Naked 2 palette....
Undress Your Skin Illuminating Foundation in Porcelain, £5 (£3 in Superdrug atm)
MUA say:
The perfect blend of skin-care and make up, the Undress Your Skin Illuminating Foundation covers imperfections whilst maintaining your skins natural glow. With light-diffusing particles this product is designed to create that instant radiance on your skin.
This foundation is so lovely. Its about this time of the year i switch up my makeup, and steer away from the heavier foundation in favour of a more dewy variety, and this my friends is the one! I also bought it in beige for when the sun starts shining and the freckles and tan appears! It glides on well (i use a foundation brush with a final touch up with my fingers) and it lasts all day. I havent used an powder on the top as i didnt want a heavy look, i dont need to touch up at all, and i'm not shiny by the end of the day. This is my spring/summer foundation!

I really like this mascara. I was a bit scared about tehe brush at first, i did poke myself in the eye with it once! But now i'm used to it, it gives me a false lash looks and really gets all the little lashes. I use quite a bit of mascara, i'm not subtle about that, and this is the mascara to give you the boost your lashes need.

Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquer, £3
MUA say:
Smooch your way to red carpet glamour with MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquers. Long lasting and kiss proof, these intense formulas come in five rich, vampy shades. Encased in chic frosted glass packaging, these lacquers glide on with the ease of a gloss, drying in seconds into a matte velvety texture. They are the ultimate make-up bag must have.
I ADORE these lip lacquers, and i've been trying to get my hands on them for months, and i finally saw them in Superdrug and purchased 4 of the colours!!
you have to be really careful when you apply these, as once it dries, it aint coming off for no one!! i had to scrub my arm after doing the swatches - that is staying power!! The effect is beautiful, bright bold colours, that stays, and isnt sticky, perfect for a night out, sticky summer nights. I cant wait to wear them all on holiday. My favourite is probably Criminal, its a stunning fuscia pink colour, Love Love Love them!!

I should add in here that the Pro Base Primer i got it really good, feels quite wet when you apply it, but certainly helps keep my make up in place.
But out of all the MUA primers, my favourite is the Matte Perfect Primer £4 You can really feel the staying power, it is very similar to Benefits Prefessional...
Intense Glosses in Sweet Nothings, £2
MUA say:
Intense Kisses are high-intensity glosses which come in a wide range of bold colours and adds just the right amount of glamour to lips, whether you're strutting down the street or the red carpet. Wear alone or over your favourite MUA lipstick colour for gorgeous kissable lip effect
In love with this lip gloss! It really gives the impression of fullness on the lip, its not stick, feels smooth and the colour is mega pigmented. Sweet Nothings ia real Barbie Pink, and i just love it! When i received it and was doing my photos, i sat there with it on all night whilst in my pyjamas, i think my hubby thinkgs i'm crazy! This is a must buy.
