Product Description

 
Make a statement this season with these pout perfect plumping lip glosses. Follow the catwalk craze by keeping your make up neutral and pop those lips with these pout pleasing products from MUA Professional. Whether you’re after a bold Shocking Pink, bang on trend Sienna tangerine tone or cotton Candy Pink hue; these seven sensational shades cover the looks for less this season.
Each sensuous shade contains maxi lip© plumping agents for a natural looking pout with a non sticky formula.
 

My Thought

 
MUA has always impressed me with its product range and quality so i couldn't expect less from this gloss.the gloss comes in a transparent plastic bottle with a doe foot applicator.the bottle is quite long for a normal lip gloss and sturdy.Pin up Pink is a vibrant pink color but on the lips its more toned down and less vibrant pink, which is good.the consistency of the gloss is thick but its not sticky at all, it is really pigmented and transfers well to the lips with an even application.the gloss stays for maximum 2 hours so you might want to reapply after 2 hours.as the gloss is for plumping effect it might tingle a little bit at start but the tingling fades after few seconds so its normal to feel tingling sensation after application.

when i ordered this gloss i was really excited, its not that i need a plumping effect but i really wanted to see how this plumping gloss would work or would it live up to the plumping claim and to be honest it does give a plumper look to the lips.

so for me its really a good gloss with a pretty pink color, glossy and plumping effect.this also looks good over a pink colored lipstick.the other colors look good too so i would definitely check them out too.will you?
 
i will rate this 4.8/5
 
 

Pros

  • Pretty color
  • Pumping effect
  • Good Pigmentation
  • Even application
  • Non-sticky
  • Budget Friendly
  • Travel Friendly
 

Cons

  • Tingles a little bit at application

MUA Lipstick Shade 11 & 16 - Review & Swatches

Helloo ladies.today i am going to do a review on MUA lipsticks.MUA lipsticks are raved about many bloggers so i thought to give them a try. keep on reading to find out my experience with these lipsticks

MUA Lipstick Shade 16 (Nectar) & 11

MUA Lipstick Shade 16 (Nectar) & 11

According to MUA

 

Girls, there is nothing better than lipstick. Apart from maybe lipstick that costs just £1! Ok definitely lipstick that costs just £1. Don't say we're not good to you. Our amazing lipsticks come in 16 shades from red to pink and nude and are packed full of pigmentation. With just one swipe you'll have fantastic colour pay off resulting in gorgeous lips! Why not pick a shade you've not tried before and get a new look? It is just £1 after all...did we already mention that?

My thought

the fact that these lipsticks cost such a wee amount of money is amazing so if you go wrong with a shade it won't be a burden on your pocket.the lipstick comes in a black colored plastic packaging which does not look cheap if you consider the price tag.The packaging is bit flimsy though, and the lids won't hold tight but this is not a high end branded lipstick right? the colored bottom of the lipstick is remove able, unscrewing it would reveal a pot of some extra lipstick. the colored bottom idea makes it very convenient to pick up the shade you want from your stash.
 

MUA Lipstick Shade 16 & 11 - Swatched (multiple swipes)
 
from my experience i have found both the lipstick differ in color pigmentation and payoff
 

MUA Shade 11

 
shade 11 is warm pink toned nude and its my favourite shade of the two, it is everyday wearable kind of shade.the formula is creamy and sheer on application, it actually feels like a lip butter on the lips and its moisturising as well, with just one swipe it gives a pretty natural pink color to the lips and yes the color is buildable.As the lipstick is sheer it stays for two hours on me and fades evenly.i really like the vanilla scent of lipstick but once applied the scent slowly disappears.

MUA Shade 16 (Nectar)

 
well to be honest i am regretting buying this shade.MUA lipstick shade 16 is named Nectar,the lipstick bullet looks neon orange but on application its a sheer peachy orange shade.the color doesn't compliment my fair to medium skin tone at all, i think the color is not meant for Asian skin tones it would rather suit more paler or darker skin tones.moreover it's nothing like the shade 11, the texture is pretty dry,it settles into the fine lines of the lips and emphasise any dry flakes.the application is uneven but buildable after multiple swipes.it really bothers me how these lipsticks are from same range yet so different.well good thing is its just for £1 so you can not complain with such price tag .but still i couldn't throw it away in my stash not getting any use out of it.so i thought of a way to make it use able.

there is another thing i am not liking, which is MUA love hearts lip balm" Great lips".well its not that it didn't work for me, it certainly is a great lip balm but i didn't like the color it's kind of a nude color which makes me look dead.

so i found a way to use both of them.i apply a single coat of mua nectar than with my finger i apply great lips over it.it gives a really pretty nude color to my lips which doesn't make me look dead or washed out..and i also use this over my body shop strawberry born lippy to add a hint of peachy pink color.

this experience was kinda love or hate for me but i would love to venture into other shades by MUA.because for just £1 these lipstick are worth the shot


i would rate them 3.5/5
 

Pros

  • Incredibly inexpensive
  • Creamy and sheer formula
  • Pretty colors
  • Buildable application
  • Some extra lipstick
  • Sweet vanilla scent

Cons

  • Pigmentation varies from color to color
  • Some colors could be a bit dry
  • Uneven application


Price    £1 , PKR 200
