A MUAssive makeup mystery.

First impressions of a few MUA products including the MUA Lip Boom

MUA Lip Boom, MUA Mosaic Blush and MUA Love Hearts Lip Balm
MUA are a brand I'm not massively familiar with, I've tried their eyeliner and a mascara but little else. The main reason for this is because the MUA stand at my local Superdrug is very poor and when ever I go there are only one or two products left! I decided that MUA was sorely missing from both my makeup bag and my beauty blog. They recently had an offer on where you could get a free palette with each purchase of their new Lip Boom. So, I decided to treat myself to a few items and guess what I forgot to add the free palette! Doh!

Anyway, here are the products I opted for, the first is the MUA Alexandra Burke Lip Boom. The Lip Boom is four looks in one tube. The tube divides into three products; a lipstick,a gloss and something else that I have no idea what it is! Its attached to the bottom of the lipstick but I have no idea what purpose it serves, if any. Answers on a postcard? I opted for OMG, which is a coral colour. MUA Lip Booms are priced at £3 and are available online now and will be in shops in May. I'll be posting a full review soon.

MUA Lip Boom in OMG - There's lipgloss, lipstick and a weird pot of an unidentified substance. Any ideas? 

The second product is the Mosaic Blush in English Rose.I do like a blush and at £2.50 I figured it was worth a try.

Thirdly, I went for the MUA Love Hearts Lip Balm in Sweet Kisses. I love the packaging of the Love Hearts Range but haven't tried any yet, again because they don't stock them anywhere near me. I've needed a lip balm for ages but refuse to spend silly money on one. Sweet Kisses smells lovely and I'm looking forward to giving it a try, at £2.00 I suspect I've got a bit of a bargain.

I'm going to post a full review on all of these products after I've tried them a few times. Seriously though if anyone works out what the attachment is on the MUA Lip Boom lipstick please let me know!

  2. You picked up such a lovely colour of the Lip Boom. I have no idea what the little thing is. Someone has mention it's a lipgloss, but it's not. I did try to use it, but there is no colour. I think it may be a gel that shows the lipstick colour. x

    1. Yeah, I thought it was a balm at first but it isn't. It seems pretty pointless to me. A lip balm would have been a nice touch! x

  4. It's just an extra bit of lippie, that shows the colour. A nice touch, but confusing...

    1. Oh I see, I don;t know why is detachable because you can't use it as a lipstick. Bizarre x

  5. The little pot of lipstick at the end is just to show the true colour instead of putting an inaccurate sticker on the end, i just use it with a lip brush when i run out of the actual lipstick, hope i was helpful:). Charlie x.
