MUA have really been impressing me at the moment. I grabbed a few bits and bobs a week or so ago – including their £2 eye primer which is amazing – and I’ve been really enjoying the Glamour Days palette.
‘Tis already well loved!
I think this particular palettes shades are very well put together for such an inexpensive palette. That they’ve put that bright blue in there with all the brown/gold tones makes it a winner for me as I love a pop of blue with a neutral look. The two matte browns and the matte pink highlight help make it really versatile. If you’ve got darker hair, the dark brown could possibly even be used as a brow powder, as well as adding depth and definition without being as harsh as black – so perfect for work or a daytime look. I’ve used this palette tons already:
Pretty versatile, huh? All the shadows used for these looks are from the palette. The second to last look I used the dark brown as a brow powder as well. I’m in love with the aqua and gold shade from the top row, as well as the burgundy/copper colour. Really nice selection, I think. FYI, all these looks are just over regular primer, not a creamy base,
MUA palettes are sold for £4. Four quid. I think these are an absolute bargain – the quality is just the same as their very popular single shadows which are £1, and the palettes contain 12 shades. It’s a no brainer really. The only negative is that the palette is a little flimsy, but my others have survived the handbag test and hey, £4.
Have you tried MUA? What's your favourite bargain brand?
Ooh, very pretty! I love the MUA s/s singles but I've not had much luck with the palettes - think I'll give this one a go though :)
ReplyDeleteI'm also glad to hear that the eye primer is good as I'm almost out of UDPP and really don't have the cash to buy more at this time of year.
Ummm, obviously that should say *e/s singles* not s/s. Deary me....
ReplyDeleteIt's really good! UDPP lasts REALLY well on me, I can sleep it in and it'll still look nearly as good. This one... maybe it lasts around 12-3 hours but really, that's pretty sufficient. Also I haven't slept in it yet.
ReplyDeleteWow, lots of cute day looks to pick from and at a great bargain too. Works for me!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your suggestions as to how I can fix my photos. Will check out Picasa x

Oh man, there are so many awesome yet inexpensive palettes available in the UK! I am jealous! I love that you can come up with so many different types of looks with one palette. My favourtie look is the second one from the top with the subtle touch of colour.
ReplyDeleteOoooh want! I really love the third matte look you did and the colourful one right beneath it.
