MUA lipstick - shade 12


i bought this MUA lipstick as another addition to my slow-growing lipstick collection. as i've mentioned before, i'm not really a lipstick fan but i am trying to branch out! and what better way to do it than with a cute pink lipstick that only cost £1?!

the formula is quite creamy and doesn't feel that different from wearing a lip balm. it was easy to apply but only lasted about an hour and a half before i had to reapply. this is mainly because the colour is so bright (brighter than expected!) and so it didn't take long to dull a bit. for a daytime look though, i actually preferred it after a bit of wear, although constantly having to reapply may be frustrating when out and about. alternatively, i think it would be a good colour to dress up an evening outfit, and the packinging is quite sleek and plain so would fit and look nice in any tiny handbag!

my only problem with shade 12 (other than the boring name!) is the little flecks of glitter throughout the lipstick. initially, i think it looks quite nice and girly, but after a bit of wear glitter lipsticks tend to leave no colour and lots of excess glitter which isn't a great look in my eyes! i still think the purchase was worth it though and i hope to wear shade 12 out soon!

beauty uk lipstick - chelsea



 uh oh... there aren't many words for this lipstick. maybe it was my fault. i'm not really a lipstick girl although i am trying to branch out. i'm also quite pale and unfortunately this was the only lipstick without a tester. my lips also aren't in great condition at the moment which obviously shows a lot more with lipstick than it does with lip balms and glosses.

despite all this i still bought the lipstick and am regretting it now! the colour is really, really pale - a lot paler than it looks which just doesn't work (hence not putting a picture of myself wearing the lipstick up!) and the texture of the lipstick is quite dry and chalky. all in all a wasted purchase, and one that has set me back a notch or two on the lipstick-buying front which is a shame! better luck next time eh?!
