New MUA Items!


no photos belong to me, they all belong to the MUA facebook page. 



Hello everyone! Hope you've all had a good day and I hope you're all doing really well.
Friday tomorrow.. which if you're paid weekly..this means pay day! *woo*.
I have the perfect bargain items here and I thought I would share my first impressions on the new releases of MUA.

If you like the MUA facebook page (link) you will all know that any new products will be announced on there for the first sneak peek. I always want to get things from MUA but before I have chance to buy a new release, they have another new item out! I don't even have a big MUA collection, I have like 3 items from them and need to get a bigger collection as there is always something I want - and in reality, the items are VERY good quality considering they're not MAC prices.

So without rambling, I am going to go through the new products and share my first impression opinions with you. Feel free to comment below what products you'll be buying and which ones you have your eye on! 

Undress Your Skin | Flawless Skin Primer | £3
Obviously, none of these products have been bought and tested. I'm not sure if they're out in stores or not so as of yet, I haven't heard any reviews. First impressions guys!
The packaging of this looks good. I love the metallic bronze packaging and it's quite different for MUA packaging and for a primer packaging. I'm not too obsessive over primers but I might give this a go. I like how it's a suitable price, I paid £11 for two of my No7 primers and I don't even like them!

Undress Your Skin | Radiant Under Eye Concealer | £2
I like the look of this. I don't have any items like this so I'll definitely be trying this out because of the good price range. This is in a pen form so it's an easy application for a right amount. Their website says it's lightweight so I hope it turns out to be that way!

Undress Your Skin | Illuminating Foundation | £3
I don't buy MUA foundations. They never sit right on my skin and always slide about and never really suit my skin tone perfectly. This might sound a certain way but I don't buy cheap foundation - I always stick to the other brands like Rimmel, Collection, Maxfactor, Maybelline etc.. I tried a Natural Collection foundation when I was about 11 and my spots went into overdrive! I know the MUA foundations suit a small amount of people and I know quite a few reviews said the same thing as me. They never feel matte enough either, they always feel really waterbased no matter now 'matte' they say they are! So I'm never really fussed when MUA announce a new foundation.

Pro Base | Conceal and Brighten Kit | £3.50
This is a product that didn't really interest me but now I'm warming to the idea of trying it out. I want a small collection of concealers to perk up my foundation collection and application a bit so I might give this a go. The packaging isn't the best and I don't think this was photographed well because the actual product looks slightly different in someone else's picture! It's a simple product to add to your collection - I think it's a back up from a high end product you may have.

Matte Perfect | Shine Control Foundation | £2
I don't think 'shine control' applies! I won't be purchasing this foundation either.

Pro Base | Complexion Kit | £6
This is a good on-the-go product, just like the concealer kit. It includes a powder foundation, concealer, and a shimmer. I personally won't be purchasing but it does look good. 
‘Wear the cream to powder foundation for opaque, full coverage, or simply break it down to be more translucent by mixing it with some undressed flawless primer’ - Karla Powell, MUA’s Head of Make-up Artistry

Cover and Conceal | Concealer Wand | £1.50
I'll be purchasing! I like these type products for everyday use. I was going to buy one from Natural Collection for £2 - I'll still buy it and I'll buy this too and compare the both. It comes in 3 shades, Fair, Natural and Almond. I think this could be a product that many people rave about!

Matte Perfect | Primer | £4
One thing I'm not liking about the new MUA products, is the fact they have tooooo many primers and concealers. I don't see the difference? I would have liked different products to build up a collection. I won't be purchasing this.

Undress Me Too Palette | £4
I'm loving this! I lovelovelove the fact they have a follow up from the Undress Me palette. I haven't managed to buy that, typical me, but I WILL and I WILL get this one! £8 for two palettes.. £72 for 2 Naked Palettes.. such a bargain! 
''The Undress Me Too Palette embraces this season’s fresh-faced look and urges you to strip back and go nude! Made up of 12 warm and timeless shades, this palette will suit allskin tones and any occasion.

The pearlescent flesh-toned finish of Shades Naked, Devotion and Shy are perfect for highlighting the eyes, while the shimmering bronze hues of Shades Fiery, Lavish and Dreamy give a sultry effect. There are even smouldering contour tones in Shades Tranquil, Exposed and Wink so that you can transform your minimalist day look into a sexy smokey eye in an instant.

Featuring a shade range that runs from the palest champagne to the grittiest gunmetal grey, this isn’t just ‘shades of beige. Each shadow has a distinct look that works for everyone.''

Undress Your Skin | Highlighting Powder | £2
I really want this! I need a highlighting collection and it's not something I have. I don't use these in everyday use and it's not something I think of adding to my routine. I absolutely love the look of this and the packaging is really nice too. The look of the actual product is so pretty and something to keep out on your desk! 
''MUA Top Tips!:
Try applying a dusting of the highlighting powder over the brow bone, and then apply between the eyes and inside the inner corners of the eyes to brighten them up. 
Undress your Skin Highlighting Powder can be layered ontop of blusher or bronzer too to add that extra glow to your skin.'' 

Hide and conceal | Cover up stick | £1
Another concealer.. I have a natural collection one of these so I won't be purchasing this. I like the packaging though, it's simple and easy to carry around during the day.

Matte Perfect | Loose Powder | £2.30
This is slightly more than my Natural Collection one, but I want to try this so I can compare. I'm a lover of powder now as I have oily skin and bronzers/blushers look a lot nicer with a finish on my foundation. I hope this one's just as good.
