I have recently become obsessed with spending my change on the £1 MUA lipsticks from Superdrug and thought that I would share with you my current collection.
I currently have eight of the lipsticks in total which in total is about the price of one lipstick from other brands. I have four of the standard lipsticks which come in the black packaging and four of the matte lipsticks which come in white. Some of the lipsticks have names but others are just given shade numbers, I'm not entirely sure why.
Standard lipsticks:
The first lipstick I bought from MUA was Shade 13 which is a bright red lipstick with a slight pink tone that does not suit me in the slightest as my hair is red at the moment, I hope to get more use out of it when I dye my hair back to brown. The formula of all of the lipsticks are creamy but this one in particular is intensely pigmented which allows a good build up of colour.
The second is in the shade Juicy which is pretty coral pink colour which also does not suit my red hair at the moment. The colour payoff and the creaminess of the lipstick is also very nice which is surprising for a cheap pink lipstick.
The next is in Shade 2 which is a darker, almost purple, pink colour with a little more sparkle than the other lipsticks. Like the others the lipstick has great colour payoff.
The final standard lipstick is a little bit out there but it is in the shade Raven which is a black lipstick. Currently I have no where near the amount of confidence required to wear this out but I very much enjoy wearing it around the house pretending I'm a lot cooler than I am. When I first picked it up I wasn't expecting much of it and bought it as a little bit of a laugh but I highly recommend this if you're looking for a good black lipstick but don't want to spend very much, although the formula doesn't keep its colour for very long.
Matte lipsticks:
The first matte lipstick is in the shade Peachy Keen which is another coral pink colour but is a little darker and more pink than Juicy. Also does not go very well with my hair but I can't wait to wear it when my hair is a natural colour. As with the standard lipsticks the matte lipsticks are also very pigmented and have great colour payoff.
The second is in the shade Fawn Fancy which is my absolute favourite out of all of the lipsticks. It is a dark nude colour which I wear almost every day. Although this lipstick is not as pigmented as the others it still provides a nice subtle tint to the lip.
The next is in the shade Lilac Belle which is, as you would expect, a lilac colour. This is another 'out there' shade for me as I tend to keep my makeup simple. The colour is a lilac pink which appears mostly pink on my lips, I have also not yet been brave enough to wear this shade out.
The final lipstick is in the shade Wild Berry. The colour of this lipstick appears to be a dark purple but on the lips it is more of a pink colour which disappointed me at first, however it is still very pretty. This lipstick is still my current go to shade for going out, I am however waiting for a lipstick that is this colour.
I'm very happy with my current collection however I am patiently waiting for more dark shades to make their way into my Superdrug. I find it very difficult to wear light colour lipsticks because my natural lip colour is quite purple. Because of this I don't think I will be purchasing anymore pink colours.
I hope you enjoyed this post, a follow would be greatly appreciated.
