MUA Undres Me Too - eyeshadow palette review


Discovered not so long ago, MUA make up products quickly became one of of my favorites. They are cheap and good quality. There is one of my Top products of last few months.

Basic info

Brand: MUA (Make Up Academy)
Product: Undress Me Too - Eyeshadow palette
Size: 9.6 g (12 colors)
Price: £ (on website)
Websitewww.muastore.co.uk

Packaging

Basic kinda cheap looking packaging. Didn't really expect anything else for the price :)



Comes with double sided eyeshadow sponge applicator











Colors

 There are 12 color in the palette:


  • Naked - nude, matte color
  • Devotion - metallic gold 
  • Shy - metallic light sand 
  • Fiery - metallic brown(ish) copper
  • Lavish - matte purple(ish) grey
  • Dreamy - metallic brown
  • Tranquil - lighter metallic brown
  • Exposed - metallic silver
  • Reveal - light metallic grey
  • Wink - metallic dark golden brown
  • Obsessed - shimery dark brown
  • Corrupt - matte black

This is how colors look on my hand in a natural lighting.


Texture/Pigmentation

The palette has both matte and metallic colors. Their pigmentation and texture are quite different so let's talk about them separately.
Metallic shades - Beautiful creamy kinda texture, good pigmentation. Applies very nice and easy. A picture down below is so you can imagine better of how the colors applies and looks on the eyes. One coat of eyeshadow was applied on the primer.

Matte colors - hmm.. much worse texture, powdery; low but buildable pigmentation. The color Corrupt needs separate talk. It is awful! Low pigmentation, very hard texture (need to press hard to get it on the brush), hard to apply. A picture down below is so you can imagine better of how the colors applies and looks on the eyes. Two coats of lavish color were applied on the primer. I don't even know anymore how many coats of Corrupt I put on my eye to get this look..

My opinion

Do I like this palette? Ohh yea! ✿♥‿♥✿ I think this palette is very good for the price. The quality is concentrated on the product not the packaging and I like that a lot because I don't really care about the packaging at this point. I am using this palette a lot and I will keep doing so. I really want to try out MUA's other eyeshadow palette.. 

Would I repurchase this product? Definitely. 

If you have any questions please leave them in the comments below. Than you for reading :)


P.S. Feeling very happy to blog again

MUA mini haul

First of all, sorry for not posting for a long time I had a hard time at university.. but now I am back with a new post.


I recently made a purchase from MUA (Make Up Academy) website. I have been interested in this brand for a while but I never bough anything from them. 

Little information about the brand:
Brand: UK brand MUA (Make Up Academy)
What they say about themselves: 'Great makeup doesn’t need to cost the earth and it is MUA’s promise to bring surprising quality, colour, fun and innovation to each and every product it delivers. Bringing guilt free makeup to every ladies makeup bag!'

After watching lots and lots of review videos I finally decided on things I wanna get.

SHIPPING

In the photo below you can see the package everything came in.
I will say I was expecting a little box but the envelope is ok too because the things inside there wrapped up really well (except eye primer, it was left unwrapped for some reason but it wasn't damaged or anything so it's good)
The shipping cost me £4.95 (I live in Europe) and I think its not that expensive.
It took 5 days for the package to be delivered to me. It is fast, I usually wait for a lot longer to get things I order. BUT it took very long till they actually shipped the package. They said on the website 'We aim to dispatch all orders within 5 working days of receipt during our working week' and they actually dispatched my order on the evening of the 5 day. Maybe they had a lot of orders..

Products

These are the five products I've got:

  • Undress Me Too Palette £3.00
  • Eye Primer £1.50 
  • Nail Varnish (Shade 5) £1.00 
  • Lipstick (shade 5) £1.00
  • Trio Eyeshadow (Pink sorbet) £2.50

Total Cost: £9.00 (without shipping)



From the first view products products look cheap (well they are cheap..) but once I looked inside and swapped them the quality is actually very good. I think they saved up a little on the packaging and put it in the products quality, in the end I think that's what matters..
From the first look I liked all the products except the lipstick because it has a lot of shimmer and I'm not into very shimmery lip products..

Overall

Would I buy from this shop again? Yes.
So far I think MUA products are really great for the price. Of course I need to use them for some time to know for sure.


Would You like to see a full review of any of these products?
