So since I started this blog I've been on a quest to find my perfect lipstick in terms of both colour and formula. Over the past year I'd say I've acquired over 50 lip products, including glosses and tints and up to now none of them have really thrilled me. It seems to be the formula that just doesn't work for me. I've tried 3 different MAC finishes; Creemsheen, Matte and Amplified, and I have to say Matte is my favourite of the three but I found I had to keep topping my lips up with balm otherwise they'd completely dry out. I've tried Rimmel Moisture Renew but they were too creamy and smudged all over my face, the same with Collection, Illamasqua & Revlon.
However, whilst I was scrolling through bloglovin a couple of months back I noticed a lot of bloggers were raving about MUA's £1 Matte Lipstick range so I thought they were definitely worth a try for a quid! I bought 4 shades, Wild Berry, Pouty Pink, Peachy Keen and Scarlet Siren. I have to admit the first three shades are a total waste of money as there is barely any colour payoff at all but I was pleasantly pleased by the shade Scarlet Siren.
The lipstick comes in MUA's classic straight bullet with the little colour pot at the end which unscrews, however the matte line is white whereas the standard line is black. The casing is very sturdy and looks a lot more expensive than the price.

I've also had a look around to see what undertones it has, but apparently it is a straight red with no undertones. I think it suits my very pale porcelain skin and I've also seen some bloggers with darker skin wearing it and it looks great on them too. This seems to be an all round product that would suit everyone and I definitely recommend it.
Have you tried any of MUA's matte lipsticks? What do you think of them?
That is a really lovely shade of red x
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! :) xx
DeleteWowweee that is such a vibrant colour payoff! I stay in a place where there is no MUA but I have a friend sending me over six of their lipsticks in the next few weeks. I hope this colour is in that package :D

This looks awesome! Such a vibrant colour for £1 will look out for it next time I'm in Superdrug!

Awesome! Hope you love it as much as I do :)
DeleteWe don't have MUA anywhere near us but I've seen several things on blogs that I really want, I need to check out their website. I'm making very small steps towards wearing red and I think a cheap one is probably the way forward. This looks like it's got a great colour pay off though!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, this was the first red I bought and thought even if I hated it, it was only £1 so no loss really! See if you can get your hands on some MUA products they are a really great brand! :)
