I have seen it in Superdrug but only just realised they have a website!
Can I ask is it any good? I know it's crazily cheap but is it any use?
If so what's good from them? I am NW20

It's great. £1 lipsticks are shockingly good for the price, eyeshadow palettes are not quite as good as Sleek but are very good value and great for trying out different colours. They have a new Luxe range and the lip lacquers look amazing. Their setting spray from the Pro range is fab. Have heard very good things about the Undress Your Skin foundation from the Pro range.

I have quite a few things from there and have liked it all.
They do good eyeshadow palettes which are very similar to the Urban Decay Naked ones. I also got a blank palette which you can fill with your own choice of eyeshadows/blushers/bronzers.
I recently bought a matt lipstick in a plummy shade which I'm going to wear for my Christmas night out. And I think I'll try their gel eyeliner as I want to try and perfect that flicked look.
Because it is so cheap I'm more willing to try different stuff because I haven't wasted a fortune if I don't like it. And buying it online means it's all fresh and new - the stock in store sometimes looks a bit well handled!

Lippies very good. Eyeshadow palettes amazing - I have the smokin palette 10 smoky shades plus a pencil (no brush but c'mon £4.99!). Also a matte palette of 10 shades-with brush -called ever after - so good i bought it twice!!!

I also have few of the trios - a bit like the bourjois ones - including a pink one which is quite warm almost peach-ish - plus I think I have a browny one and a grey trio too.

Even if it is all crap to you - you won't have spent ££££ on it! Their single shadows are great too and a few Mac dupe there (see Pixiwoo video on that.

Also have the Sleek ones too. One i would not bother with is Miss Sporty - hate their stuff.

I don't buy much 2 true but do like the primer -this i cheap too!

TallulahBetty · 09/12/2013 11:53

Seriously love it I don't work for them but I should be on commission

£1 lipsticks and blushers are amazing quality.
Eyeshadows are awesome - they do dupes of the famous Urban Decay Naked pallettes and I honestly think they're just as good, and a fraction of the price.
Setting/fixing spray - this keeps my makeup in place all dat. Lost without it!

QueNoelle · 09/12/2013 11:56

The eyeshadow brushes are brilliant and only £2.99.

INeedSomeHelp what's the plummy matt lipstick called please?

valiumredhead · 09/12/2013 16:44

The eye liners are great and long lasting!

OneLittleLady · 09/12/2013 16:58

I love MUA! The eyeshadows are among the best I've used, the lipsticks are fab, long lasting and not drying. Love the black eyeliner pencil, it's long lasting and nice and dark, easy to smudge or get into a neat line depending on what you like. The powder blushers are nice as well, good pigmentation and nice colour choices.

cocoblu · 09/12/2013 17:04

I love Mua, the eyeshadow palettes are great quality as are the lipsticks, the glosses in a tube are also lovely, I have even converted my mom to the lipsticks and she has always used Revlon and even she was impressed with qualitySmile

CecyHall · 09/12/2013 17:06

I find it a bit hit and miss- I had a grey eyeshadow that faded down to a pink shade and made me look like I had sore eyes, I have a browny/nude lip crayon that also fades to a bright pink which is ok but I wanted nude!

But I love their eyebrow palette, it's perfect for me and only £3.50 as opposed to £20 ish for HD brows.

LittleBabyPigsus · 09/12/2013 18:43

Their cream blusher is great and either £2 or £3.

QueNoelle if it's the £1 matte lipstick, it's called Wild Berry.

CecyHall by lip crayon do you mean the ones like a chubby stick, or a lip pencil? Boots Natural Collection lip liner is great and they do a browny colour. Rimmel do a good browny/nude chubby stick.

INeedSomeHelp · 09/12/2013 18:46

QueNoelle this is the matt lipstick I got.

I also bought one of the new Luxe lip glosses today. Very bright pink - not for the faint hearted! But it will be perfect to brighten up a little black dress at Christmas.

QueNoelle · 09/12/2013 19:14

I like that. Thanks Ineed. Time to place a new order I think.

grew · 09/12/2013 20:26

That plum colour looks lovely. Any way of getting free delivery!

TallulahBetty · 09/12/2013 20:42

You can order from Superdrug and I believe they have free shipping at the mo? I can also vouch for that plum lipstick (Wild Berry) - it's gorgeous. One pound I tell you. One English pound!! Wine Wine

varigatedivy · 09/12/2013 21:48

All the nice eye stuff is now out of stock.

QuizTeamAguilera · 09/12/2013 22:01

Have they stopped doing the Out There Plumping Gloss in Buff? Can't find it anywhere and it was THE best.

evelynj · 10/12/2013 08:55

Damn MN. Just bought a load of stuff from the website but do really want the eyebrow kit....

valiumredhead · 10/12/2013 12:22

Quiz, that stuff burned my lips! Did it have chilli in it? Good colour thoughGrin

HermioneWeasley · 10/12/2013 20:00

Their matte oil control primer is excellent

QuizTeamAguilera · 10/12/2013 20:08

Yes, it burns mine too. Not sure of the ingredients but it's marketed as a 'plumper' so I'm guessing some mild irritant? Great neutral shade.

grew · 10/12/2013 20:36

Thanks looking forward to trying out bargain new lippies

valiumredhead · 10/12/2013 23:48

Duo anyone tried the foundation? I'm NW 20 same as the OP.

TallulahBetty · 11/12/2013 07:12

What's NW20?

My mum uses the matte perfect foundation and likes it. I don't wear foundation myself.

LittleBabyPigsus · 11/12/2013 07:23

NW20 is a MAC foundation shade.
