MUA Bargains

I know, I know, its been forever since I last blogged. I have been finding it hard settling into my first job as a Staff Nurse, especially so far away from home. My life seems to consist only of work and travelling back to Scotland. Doesn't leave much time for anything else. I have missed blogging loads though, but decided to take a break until things were a bit calmer. After yet another 8 hour train journey the other day I popped into Superdrug for some MUA treats.

There was a special offer on, if you spent £8 on MUA you got the immaculate collection palette for free. Not bad! I got a few products I have had my eye on for a while, seemed a good time to!

 First up I got a couple of the Alexandra Burke Lip Boom's. These are lipstick and lipgloss combined, which they say gives 4 looks in 1. You can have lipstick alone, lipstick with the lipgloss all over, lipgloss alone, or lipstick with just a highlight of lipgloss. At £3 each these are pretty good value.

 I got these in Bring It and Doin Good. They both have pretty shimmery lip glosses to go with them. Bring it is quite vibrant and a bit out of my comfort zone, but i'll give it a go!

I got another lip product, a lip balm in the shade Hot Lips. This is from the Love Hearts collection, which has a few more lip balms and some nail polishes in it. This lip balm has a lovely cocoa butter type fragrance and leaves a nice subtle tint to the lips. Another bargain at £2.

The free palette looks great. I love the MUA single eyeshadows, and have a few of the smaller palettes. This palette has a good selection of colours, with a mix of matte and shimmers. This would be ideal as a gift, or for taking away on holiday. My only concern is that the palette itself doesn't feel that strong and i'd be worried it broke in transit. The immaculate collection would normally cost £8, so really not bad for free. I think the offer is still on in Superdrug, and its definitely still available on the MUA website today.

I really like MUA, they have some great products for really affordable prices. There have been some pretty exciting updates on their facebook page lately, they have cream blushes, bronzers and nail constellations (like a certain famous fish egg type manicure!), all released towards the end of September.
