MUA Lipstick Shade 13 Review, Swatches and FOTD

Hello everyone!
Today I am going to review one of the affordable red lipsticks from MUA to pair up with light eye makeup. If you are looking out for a hot wearable red lippy with an affordable price tag, then this is for you. You would have checked it in my recent MUA haul. Didn’t you? So come lets get into the review now.

Claims of the Lipstick:

Girls, there is nothing better than lipstick. Apart from maybe lipstick that costs just £1! Ok definitely lipstick that costs just £1. Don’t say we’re not good to you. Our amazing lipsticks come in 16 shades from red to pink and nude and are packed full of pigmentation. With just one swipe you’ll have fantastic colour pay off resulting in gorgeous lips! Why not pick a shade you’ve not tried before and get a new look? It is just £1 after all…did we already mention that?


Price and Quantity:

£1 for 3.8 g (Around Rs.78)


Shade Reviewed:

No.13

My Take on MUA Lipstick Shade 13:

The MUA lipstick comes in a sturdy plastic bullet. Though the price is just one euro, the lipstick bullet doesn’t look cheap at all. It has a twist up bottom and overall, the packaging is good, easy to use and travel friendly. Ah I forgot.. There is a mini lipstick pot attached to the bottom of this lipstick. It helps to identify the shade quickly; and once your lipstick get over, you can use this tub – double bonus!

 

 

This particular shade 13 is a hot red shade! It is more on the brighter shade. I can find no shimmers on the lipstick bullet but on swatching, my eyes got those tiny golden shimmers here and there (Though they won’t be visible on your lips at all)

The texture of this lipstick is extremely creamy, smooth and easy to glide on. From a cheaply priced lipstick like this, I really didn’t expect this much creaminess. Actually, it’s a good news for every lipstick lover who cannot spend huge bucks on high end brands. The lipstick is very moisturizing that it didn’t dry out my lips even after 2 hours of application. This is one lipstick that covers pigmented lips in only swipe – the coverage is opaque.

 

The lipstick stays on my lips for 2-3 hours (without taking food or drinks) and then fades leaving a nice red tint. If I forget to exfoliate my lips well before application, this lipstick settles into fine lines and spoils the look. And one more bad thing, it transfers very easily and one splash of water – its all gone! The lipstick is not even water resistant. But overall, for the price of the lipstick, I have nothing to say bad.

 

What I like about this Lipstick?:

  • Hot red shade
  • Smooth, creamy texture
  • Does not dry out my lips
  • Decent packaging
  • Staying power is good without food! 😛
  • Leaves behind a beautiful tint
  • Brightens up face instantly
  • Covers pigmented lips in single swipe!
  • Very affordable price!

 

What I don’t like about this lipstick?:

  • Transfers badly
  • Settles into fine lines if lips are not exfoliated properly

MABH Rating: 4/5

Would I Repurchase?:

Well.. May be! I am not so sure. If I finish this bullet, I may get another one. But I am planning to try the other shades from MUA.

Do I Recommend?:

Price-wise and quality wise, these MUA lipsticks are steal! I would highly recommend this lipstick to budget-makeup lovers, and school/college going girls. If you are a lover of hot red shade, then shade.13 is a must.

MUA Lipstick Shade No.11 Review, Swatches and LOTD

by Samannita

Hey friends,
Today I am going to share my experience with a lipstick that costs only one pound. Yes, it is none other than MUA lipstick in shade 11. The MUA lipstick comes in 16 shades among which I have few. Today I am going to review shade 11 from my MUA lipstick stash.

Claims of the Lipstick:

Girls, there is nothing better than lipstick. Apart from maybe lipstick that costs just £1! Ok definitely lipstick that costs just £1. Don’t say we’re not good to you. Our amazing lipsticks come in 16 shades from red to pink and nude and are packed full of pigmentation. With just one swipe you’ll have fantastic colour pay off resulting in gorgeous lips! Why not pick a shade you’ve not tried before and get a new look? It is just £1 after all…did we already mention that?


Price:

£1 approx. Rs.91 without shipping charge.

My Take on MUA Lipstick Shade No.11:

The lipstick comes in a nice simple, sleek and black case with silver printed the name of ‘MUA’.  At the bottom, there is a transparent pot having the same shade of the lipstick. It is attached to the case that can be detached and can be used by brush.

It seems like little bonus of the lipstick in case you end up the entire one or before trying the lipstick you can test the shade from the pot at first and you can easily find out the shade you want by seeing the see-through bottom of the lipstick.

Now coming to my take on the lipstick – The lipstick is neutral brown in shade that will suit only fair skin types I guess. Being NC 40 it almost wash out my skin tone. The lipstick is creamy in texture that glides smoothly on lips; hydrates lips and keeps it moist for hours.


Swatches:


LOTD:


The staying power is only 1-2 hours without having meals which I think is enough for a 1 pound lipstick. It is not transfer resistant. The lipstick when fades leaves no tints behind. Being creamy in texture the lipstick tends to bleed a little in summer which is why applying a coat of lip liner on lips before applying the lipstick is good option in summer for those who love matte lipsticks like me.

Next, the smell of the lipstick is little bit of smell of cookie! Yes I find it similar to smell of cookies I think. And this smell is bothering me a little as smelling cookie every time makes me tempted to eat cookie.

Why I like this Lipstick?:

  • Affordable price.
  • Nice, sleek packaging with see through bottom that help you to find the lipstick shade easily.
  • Creamy in texture so non drying.
  • Glides easily on lips.
  • Smells like cookie (Well, this point might be pros for cookie lover only)

Why I don’t like this Lipstick?:

  • Not available in India.
  • Buying from direct website is risk as it doesn’t deliver to some cities of India. I think as in Kolkata, MUA never reached 🙁
  • This particular shade might wash out Indian skin tones.
  • Tends to bleed in summer.
  • Not transfer resistant.
  • Low staying power so reapplication is suggested as it fades within 1-2 hours.

My Recommendation: 

The lipstick being creamy in texture is just ideal for winter and it comes in such affordable price that you can have at least one. That’s all for today. I hope you all like my review. Leaving these cons the lipstick is just too good in £1. Bye for today see you in my next post.

My Shopping Experience:

After reading ravings MUA reviews on the blogosphere, I finally decided to try their makeup products. My order got delivered within 2 weeks and I am so glad about it. They say it may take up to 4 weeks for the MUA order to get delivered in India. However, 4 Pencils were missing in my order! I was so disappointed about it and mailed them for a refund. It may be the fault of courier people I guess.

Though I am loving the products I got for the price, I am not fully satisfied with the shopping experience. I think MUA should concentrate a bit more on packaging the order. All the products I received are in good condition, new and well wrapped in a plastic sheet.

I am not planning to shop from them any soon again, but I will surely haul again when they run free shipping offer or something like that. The quality of the products is a steal for the price!

Have you ever shopped from MUA? How was your experience?
