You need these in your life

Hello! Happy Wednesday to all. I have something to share with you (girls only.) The last couple of months I've been totally addicted to the MUA (Make Up Academy) range at Superdrug. All of the essentials are just £1 each. What a bargain! Anyone who knows we will know, I am a total make up junkie. Sadly I find it difficult finding products which suit me because not only am I ridiculously pale but have sensitive eyes and mouth, with a tendancy to break out. So on the whole it's really hard finding products which don't irritate my skin / eyes.


 I generally only use products by MAC, YSL, Chanel & sometimes Dior. Not because of the label, put purely because the products are gentle and hypo-allergenic. HOWEVER. I've used the MUA face powder, lipsticks, nail varnish and eye liner and not had a single breakout. On the whole, if you pay £1 for a lipstick you expect it to smell funny, be rubbish quality, slippy, not to last very long, but I've been wearing MUA Shade 2 lipstick since 8.30am and I've not had to reapply a single time. It really is good value for money. 






I'm also currently wearing their Rusty nail varnish which hasn't chipped at all in three days. The consistency of the nail varnish itself is also great. Sometimes I buy them and it takes three or four coats just to get a decent finish but with the MUA stuff it's just two coats, a top coat and you're ready to go. 








The face powders and blushers are also excellent quality. I have all four shades of blusher which vary in colour from baby pink to rouge, and the face powder is not only pale enough for my skin (yippy) but it's not cakey at all and goes on evenly giving a subtle, matte finish.






All of the MUA products are available to buy online now, so if you're short of cash this month or even need some stocking fillers for your friends Christmas presents, head down to Superdrug and check out the MUA stand. There's normally just a little secton of it, obviously some Superdrug stores will have more of a variety than others, or you can always buy online at http://www.superdrug.com/page/muamakeupacademy


Good Luck! xo
