Beauty Bite: Make-up Academy's £1 Eyeshadow in 'Shade 1- Pearl'


 I'm more of a lipstick and lip product junkie than an eye product addict but I decided to try out MUA's single £1 eyeshadows. Now for a start you know I'm a huge MUA fan, so I was expecting great things from them and they didn't disappoint! 
For a start...it's a pound. Who doesn't love affordable make up?! For 2g of product as well, it's a pretty good deal.
It's a gorgeous cream colour which has a pearl finish to it. It's a great colour for a highlight, inner corner colour or as a quick all over sweep when you're running out of time! It suits all eye colours and skin types so it's perfect for everyone. It's oddly creamy when you swatch it, even though it's a powder product. There is very little fall out (which is a huge plus for me as my pet hate is when eye shadows fall onto my cheeks) and it's amazingly pigmented.

I absolutely adore this eye shadow! I'm excited to try more of the shades and even the matte shadows.
Give it a try!

Beauty Bite: Make Up Academy (MUA) £1 lipstick in 'Shade 3'


I have had this lipstick for a while but for some reason never really felt like reviewing it as everyone knows about MUA's lipsticks! But here is my view on their lipstick in shade 3.
For a start, I love the colour! For a girl like me who still hasn't found the 'Perfect Red' yet, this is the closest I can get! I love my pink lipsticks so this colour is the gorgeous blend of pink and red to create a sort of raspberry shade.

I did have trouble applying this lipstick as it was kind of messy. Without a lip liner, it'll look like the above photo! Not my best application of lipstick but that might of just been me. Stick with a lip liner with this shade, MUA do cheap ones of those too ;) It tends to smudge ever so slightly. But to be honest, those are only minor points! It's an amazing product!

The price is amazing for the product you get. £1 for a stunning lipstick that actually looks more expensive than that price and a great long lasting colour on your lips. It also has a removable pot at the bottom of the lipstick to act as a sort of lip balm which I think is so innovative, creative and original. The texture of the lipstick is amazing, it glosses on smoothly and adds a beautiful shine!

This is my only MUA lipstick from the original collection and I have a matte lipstick which I will be reviewing soon! 
Give them a go! Tell me what you think :)
