MUA Lip Liners

I have never bothered with lip liners before now, but when I saw they were only £1 at the MUA display I thought I could buy a couple of colour and see how I get on. There were four colours to choose from, you can view them all HERE.

The colours I choose were, Red Drama because I wear red lips a lot, and Softly Lined because I thought it would be nice for natural pink toned looks.

Red Drama and Softly Lined

Red Drama

Softly Lined

First of all, I really like a lot of the MUA products and buy and use loads of them, but for me I really didn't like the Softly Lined colour, it just gave a shimmer to the outsides of my lips which I wasn't really looking for, I guess when you swatch something onto your hands the colour comes up pure but when it actually applies to the lips your natural lip colour is darker and so the colour wont show up the same. I don't see how I can use this one and I know it looks nice in the swatch above but it really doesn't show up at all on my lips.

I do love the Red Drama colour though, as a big fan of red lips I think lip liner is essential in creating the cleanest, smoothest effect and before now I never even bothered with it. Whenever I'm going to wear a red lip now I will take an extra minute to line my lips with this MUA Red Drama lip liner. They are so easy to apply and liners themselves are soft and pigmented and come with a sharpener in the lid which is handy, they are such great value at only £1. Next time I'm in Superdrug I think I will buy the darker pink colour and hope that it will show up better on my lips.

MUA Intense Kisses Lip Gloss

I bought these MUA Intense Kisses Lip Glosses a few weeks ago and have been using them ever since. I bought them for £2.00 in my local Superdrug, you can also purchase them from the MUA website HERE. I liked the red colour first, Pucker Up, and when I swatched it on my hand I couldn't believe how pigmented it was! For only £2.00 it was a steal!

"The newest lip gloss in the MUA range! Intense Kisses lip gloss £2 each. They are sealed with a kiss in a high-intensity gloss which comes in a wide range of bold colours 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."

Pucker Up and Sweet Nothings

I bought these two colours as most of the other colours on offer were out of stock. You can see from the swatches how pigmented they are and that is why I bought them. I like wearing lipstick because I like the colour payoff, but I have been looking for highly pigmented lip glosses for a while, most of them I found were disappointing and were too thick or sticky, but these just glide on beautifully and give a less intense effect than lipsticks. The packaging is nice, more of a square shape and they are a nice small size to fit easily into your handbag or pocket.

I wear the red one the most because I am in love with red lips at the moment but I think I will wear the pink shade more in spring/summer. These glosses last a decent amount of time on the lips, they come off if you eat which most lipsticks do anyway, but they are just so quick and easy to apply and are better for day to day wear. Another bonus is that you don't have to worry about it coming off on your teeth, and if it smudges a bit it doesn't stain the skin as much as lipstick does.

These lip glosses are amazing for only £2.00, well done MUA, I can't wait to buy more colours.
