Beauty Bite: Makeup Academy (MUA) Pressed Powder

MUA Pressed powder in Shade 1

 MUA is probably my favourite makeup line...EVER. No doubt about it, their products are top quality and are unbelievably affordable and won't effect your bannk balance. More than likely you'll have a pound in your purse that you could spend..yes a pound! This pressed powder is £1!

 

If you have never used MUA before, you probably have the view that because it's cheap, that it's not good quality. Well in my opinion, you couldn't be more wrong!

 

I ran out of my Collection pressed powder a while back (Collection 2000 still sounds better) but I decided to wonder into the MUA section to see if they had something evern cheaper and just as good if not better quality. Then I stumbled upon their £1 pressed powder. It does exactly what I want it to! It mattifies my face so I don't look too oily and it gives a nice even and 'finished' look to my skin. It also sets my other makeup well. However I will say don't apply too much otherwise you will get that 'cakey' powdery look. Also you may need to touch up if you have oily skin, especially if you're like me and your T zone gets extremely oily.

 

Overall another great product from MUA! They never let me down! If you need a low priced quality pressed powder, here it is! Check out the MUA website at http://www.muastore.co.uk/

Today's Beauty Bite: MUA's Mosaic Blush in English Rose

 

 

For a long time I've been using Collection's blush which costs around £4-£5 which for the amount of product was a little much. The thing is...I'm clumsy and more often than not I tend to drop my make up. The worst thing is that I've made a horrible habit of dropping my blushes. This time was the last straw and I decided to change my blush which seemed a big leap for me as I often stick to the same old brands and products.

 

A while ago I noticed MUA's mosaic blush and bronzers but the bronzers are too dark for me and often look like I've smeared mud and dirt all across my pale face! I'd been considering trying the blush but for some reason the purpley/blue coloured parts of the blush pushed me away from buying it and kind of put me off! But I decided to give it a try!

 

To be honest this has been one of the best buys I've come across in a loooong time! It was £2.50 which is an incredibly good price for so much product and for such great quality! The blue actually works really well with the other colours, so do not let that stop you from buying it like I did! The colour it gives is a lovely shimmery subtle pink which isn't too in your face and is perfect for a natural look. However I would say that this is better off for paler complexions. Plus it does leave a lot of excess product when you use it, it can be a tad powdery and can go a bit messy. I bought this around 4 months ago and it's still going strong and I have not hit pan yet (That's after using it everyday). I have to say it has become one of my beauty essentials! Don't believe me? Go find out for yourself!
