MUA Professional

MUA have somewhat recently launched the professional line. It has some really great items in it (I have yet to try them all but it's my mission for now). I have picked up some things and some are brilliant and some are okay. There isn't anything bad in it to be honest. It's a bit more expensive than the £1 line but the quality if just that little but higher and there are brilliant ideas in the line. As far as I know there are two mascaras (curling and volumizing - dont quote me), a eyeliner felt tip, some eyeshadow trios, some eyeshadow palette, nail quakes (shatter polishes). That is what is stocked in my superdrug, I think in bigger stores they have a mosaic blush (I think there is a bronzer too). I really want to say they have liquid foundation but I'm not sure at all. They also have metalic eyeshadows but I'm clueless about them.



So I have picked up the curling masacra, the primer, the Heaven and Earth Palette and a trio (I have no idea what the name is). I got the curling mascara in brown (or brown-black), the heaven and earth palette is a collection of browns and neutrals and the trio I have is also two browns and a ivory(ish) highlight colour. I want to say innocene but I could just be thinking random words right now.

I love love love love love what I have so far, bar the mascara. The masacara is good, don't get me wrong, but I just find it super hard to use the curved wand without getting it on every single but of my eye. It's just me, I'm a bit useless with things like that. The packaging really reminds me of the Loreal Lash Archietect (spelling is so not my thing) D mascara. I think it's one of the newest mascara's from Loreal. In fact when I picked it up I thought someone had dumped it on the stand and it was in the wrong place. The product itself isn't really compariable but the packaging is super super super similar.
 


The primer is good, I can't say that it's the best I've ever had (GOSH primer is the best by the way) but it most certainly not the worst (no7 Shine free primer is the worst). It's creamy unlike the gosh one and runny unlike the no 7 one. It's kind of what I wanted the no 7 primer to be like. If I had to compare it to any primer I would say it's the Witch blemish fighting primer (the name is something like that). It dont test it out for lenght of wear with other primers but it kept my make up on just fine through out the day. It's super good and I would recommend it to any one. It was also only £4.00 which is considerably cheaper than the GOSH primer at £13.99 and the No7 primer at £11.00 (I did get it for £6 with the voucher they give out to eveyone).

I think that this primer is the only thing that hasn't sold out stupidly on the MUA professional stand I just can't understand why. It's a good price and it's a good product. People, sort it out and go buy this! It's worth it (or it is to me). The MUA professional stand in my superdrug it some silly cardboard thing that needs to be replaced and I wish it was bigger and stocked more things like the blush and things like that. The stand is always empty because of the brilliant quality and the small stand and the amazing price.

I'm going to do a whole seperate post on the Heaven and Earth palette because it's that freaking awesome. Enough said for now.



The trio is what I reach for every single day. It's had the three perfect colours for everyday and they can be made more intense by using them wet (they look soo good when they are applied wet). They are very very shimmery but when they are blended nicely and applied in moderation they work for school/work/everyday. I love love love love this. This is my second fave MUA professional product that I have. The palette being the first, then the primer, then the mascara. The trio's are really compariable to the Boujouis Trio's accept I think they are much better (in quality and price). I have one of the Boujouis Trio's and I hate it. I love the colours it just dont think  the colour pay off is good and I find it really hard to work with.

I no this range ins't avaliable world wide but if you can get your hands on it, do it right now! (well wait till the shops open)

(Disclaimer - Yes, I'm trying to be witty. Yes, I am aware that it's not funny and No, I don't care so I thought I would let y'all know that)
