MUA Lipstick Review

Hello everyone! 
Recently I found myself wandering around superdrug (again) and I stumbled across the MUA stand. Their lipsticks are only £1 each! How good is that? Bloody fantastic I say! There are 16 shades all together but I only bought 3. I was planning on trying them out before I bought anymore. I will be buying them again though, they are brilliant. I will swatch the ones I got at the end! 
Anyway, I bought shades 03, 06 and 15. 

From left to right the shades are; 06, 15 and 03
For £1 the pigmentation is incredible. The good thing about these is that if you don't like them it doesn't matter too much as they are so cheap. The only bad thing I can say about these lipsticks is the fact that they're not named. Only the last 2 or 3 in the collection are. As you can see they each come with a little pot of lip balm type stuff too. Its in exactly the same shade as the lipstick which is so helpful. It makes your lips feel so moisturised and soft. All you do is twist them off at the bottom and there you go! Great huh?


Shade '03'
Shade '03', it looks pinker than it is... when you swatch it, it actually comes out more red. I've been looking for a bright lipstick recently because I'm always told that I'd suit it better than I think. Its the perfect colour for a 'pin-up' makeup look. The point is, if I decide that I don't suit it, I'm not bothered because it was only a pound! I'll probably give it to someone else to be honest... it's better to give it to someone else and have them use it than it be in my makeup drawer for all eternity, right? 
Shade '06'


So this is shade '06' and it is a darker pink. If you don't like shimmer on your lips then stay away from this one, as it is very shimmery. I personally think this colour suits most skin types, as you can build it up to be as subtle or as strong as you like. 

Shade '15 Juicy'
The last one I got and my personal favourite, is shade 15 'Juicy'. As I mentioned before there are only a few that have names and this one is one of them. I would love it if they all had cute little names, but for £1 I can't really complain. I'm never normally one for corals, but I am in love with this shade. I'll be buying corals more often now! Like all of them, I cannot get over how pigmented they are and how much they're sold for. Not that I'm complaining or anything.... 

Here are the swatches, as promised. 
The swatches! Aren't they beautiful!
Next time you're in superdrug (or anywhere that you can get MUA makeup from!) I would seriously recommend you pick these up. You can't get good lipstick any cheaper. 

I hope you enjoyed this mini-review.
I'll do them more often!
Thanks for reading!
Bye
