My top MUA picks

Hi Beauts.

One of my favourite hightstreet/drugstore make up brands has to be MUA (Make Up Academy) . Their products are inexpensive, pigmented (I will be using that word A LOT in this post) and they have a variety of shades in each product.

Today I thought I'd do a little overview of which products and shades are my favourite, and let me tell you it wasn't easy narrowing the list down :P

Blusher

Powder blusher in shade 2. These blushes are extremely pigmented, easy to blend and very long lasting. What I love is that they aren't chalky at all, like some other highstreet brands. There is a little fall out but for £1.00 I'm definitely not complaining

Blush perfection cream blusher in Yummy. I have oily skin so was in two minds whether or not to try these out, and I'm so glad I did. Some of the shades aren't as pigmented as others but are buildable. However this one is. They are very blendable and best of all stay put all day

Eyes

Single eyeshadow in shade 20. This has to be the blackest black eyeshadow I've used yet, and whoops MAC's Carbon's ass! It's EXTREMELY pigmented and is very easy to blend

Extreme felt liner. My all time favourite liner. I've already posted a review so I'll keep this short and sweet, if you haven't tried it yet GO BUY IT :)

Eye primer. This is my go-to eyeshadow primer. It has a great consistency, not too thick not too thin, makes eyeshadows pop and keeps them in place all day

Lips

Lipsticks in shades 2 and 13. I couldn't choose just one shade so picked two, cheeky! These lipsticks are SO pigmented and have great staying power. With the darker and brighter shades, I've noticed they leave a nice stain behind once the colour has worn off. This red is one of my all time faves to wear

Intense kisses lip gloss in Lips are sealed. The main thing I like about these glosses, other than the pigmentation (See there I go again with the P word!) is that they aren't sticky at all, and they stay on longer than most other glosses I've tried

Power pout in Irreplaceable. I love everything about this, from it's minty scent to the application, to lasting power and a huge bonus is I don't need a pencil sharpener! Genius.

Eyebrows

Eyebrow pencil in Brunette. I recently discovered this pencil and have been loving it. It gives a soft natural look, is the perfect shade for me and comes with a little comb/brush

Nails

Nail polish in Pistachio Ice cream. This is my new favourite nail polish. I've wanted Essie's Mint candy apple for the longest time, but after buying this shade I don't think I need it anymore! Two coats and your good to go, and it lasts 3 days before chipping which I think is great. Usually I chip my nails within the first 24 hours!

Phew that was a long post. Did I lose anyone along the way?!

What are your favourite MUA products?
