So today I'm starting a new blog series called Beauty Brand Focus, I'm also going to be doing these for Clothes brands so stay tuned for them. These posts will be going quite in depth into products from a selected brand and I will be giving my opinions of them, let me know if you like this idea and hope you enjoy reading.
This Beauty Brand Focus as the title suggests is on MUA (MakeUp Academy) I have quite a few products from this brand and they are all very affordable so I thought this brand would be a good one to go through. These products are all sold in Superdrug or on the MUA online store which ships internationally.

Eyes
Eyeshadow Palettes-
These are one of the main things MUA are known for, the eyeshadows are all very pigmented and good quality and are even classed as dupes for the UD Naked Palettes. I have the Heaven & Earth Palette £4 and the Immaculate Collection palette £8. I love these palettes so much and would definitely recommend, they are a complete steal for the price and the colours are amazing. The colours in the H&E palette really suit my eye colour (blue) and are some of the nicest eye shades I've come across.
Eyeliner-
I have the MUA extreme felt eyeliner pen and this is good but I find it quite difficult to apply which isn't great so I don't use this very often.
Face -
I currently only own one 'face product' from MUA but have tried others in the past. I have the 'Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter' and I really do like this product, it adds such a nice glow to my skin and for the price(£3) you can't go wrong.
In the past I have tried The mosaic blush in English Rose and I really love that product, the pressed powder which was nothing special but for £1 it is worth it, and the matte perfect foundation. I bought this due to the fact I have oily skin and although it was an alright foundation I wouldn't agree with the fact it's shine controlling and also it didn't last throughout the day.
Nails-
I currently own 4 of the MUA nail polishes - deepest purple,bold blue, pistachio ice cream and one from the love hearts collection in UR FAB (which I don't think they sell anymore.) I definitely prefer the new packaging as they look like the essie bottles. The dark shades are very opaque and you can get away with only one coat,butwith the lighter shades they obviously are not as opaque so you'd definitely need more than one coat. The colour range is also amazing as there's 30 different shades to choose from and at £1 each you can't go wrong.
and last but definitely not least... Lips -
These,along with the eye palettes are what MUA is most known and popular for as they have the amazing £1 lipsticks.
I have 3 of these lipsticks - Shade 2,3 and 13 and for what they're priced at they are incredibly pigmented, and even though they aren't that moisturising I can't complain. I love shade 2 and it's one of my favourite autumn/winter lipsticks.
I also have 3 of the lipsticks from the One Direction range - Rock Me, Be Mine and I Want, these are £3 instead of £1 due to the fact they're marketed as 1d products but they are still completely worth the money. I Want is probably my favourite as it's an orange toned red so I find it more wearable than most other reds I've got and it's a beautiful colour.
