I have had my Make Up Academy lipstick for over a year now and over that period of time I've only worn it about 2 times because I really don't like it! I only bought it because it was cheap and I was tempted to buy a few more in different shades but I'm glad I didn't. This lipstick was only £1 which is the full retail price and I have the dark red shade. There are a few other colours available too including pink and an orangey sort of colour but I chose the red one because the shade looked lovely and bright and vibrant. The plastic lipstick tube is pretty cheap looking and it also feels quite flimsy but for a pound this didn't bother me too much ...  Read the complete review

I'm always fussy about the quality of the lipstick I choose to buy and for a start I don't want to be paying an excess amount of money for something that i'll only use now and then. I came across MUA's lipstick range on their website after liking their facebook page and discovered that all of their lipstick ranges (besides the new alexandra burke lip boom range) are only £1! I was a bit unsure about whether any of the colours would be of any high quality at all considering they were so cheap but I was wrong to believe that! So far I have purchased five individual colours from their range and not one single colour has let me down. The lipsticks do not smell ...  Read the complete review

I have been wanting to try the MUA range for absolutely ages, after hearing so many positive things about the brand on various blogs. If you haven't previously heard of it, it is a super cheap make-up range which can be found at Superdrug stores nationwide, or from the Make Up Academy website. Everything in the 'core' range, such as lipsticks, blushers, lip glosses, eye liners, and nail varnishes are just £1 each! So when I say a bargain make-up range - I really mean it! I have recently been getting very interested in lipsticks, after being very wary of wearing them for quite some time. I always feared looking a little 'clownish' or wearing a colour that ...  Read the complete review

Not being a massive wearer of lip products, I'm quite wary of investing in ones I might not use, and stick to budget ranges that are usually flawed. MUA's prices are impossible to resist, though, and after reading a lot of positive reviews I just had to have a dabble in their lipsticks. A pound isn't too much to lose, right? PACKAGING: The tubes themselves are generic (black case, silver cylinder) and feel quite cheap, but they do the job. The labelling is my sole hang-up - it just isn't well-planned. The shades are unnamed, in the usual MUA fashion, identifiable only by the numbered barcode stickers or the tubes' coloured bases. If, like me, you'd rather ...  Read the complete review

MUA always catches my eye, I know its only cheap stuff but still some of their stuff looks appealing and a lipstick for a pound? I'm in, especially when it looks so good! The appearance of the lipstick is great, doesn't look cheap at all and the fact that these sell so cheap I wonder how they make a profit..like surely the packaging must be more than a pound, especially when its wowing me! The tube is black and silver, and the material is plastic. It has the MUA logo on the front and is a twist off top. On the top of the lid is a clear plastic piece which shows me the lipstick, which is good because the lipsticks are named by names like ...  Read the complete review
