Haul/Review : MUA (Make Up Academy)

So today, I'm going to try to do my post in english! Please, be nice, I'm not bilingual ;)
(But if you notice any mistakes, let me know! Thanks :))

I recently heard about MUA, Make Up Academy, and I wanted to give it a try!
It took a week to receive my order. I received the products in bubble wrap and sent in an envelope.

You can have a look here : MUA




1 - Brush-on Concealer Pen (Radiance, 2£)
This is the product that I was most disappointed. First, the color is too dark for me, and then the texture is quite pasty, not really nice. So I use it as base for my eyelids.

2 - Going for Gold Palette
I think this palette is a new one and I got it free with my order. The colors are very pigmented. However, I don't think I would have bought it because I don't wear a lot of gray on my eyes. But I love the bronze color.



3 - Heaven to Earth Palette (4£)
Again, I'm amazingly surprised by the quality for the price! The colors are very pigmented, they are all neutrals and all with shimmers in it.



4 - Mosaic Blush (English Rose, 2,50£)
This is a pale pink blush, very glowy.



5 - Mosaic Bronzer (Sunkissed Glow/Shade 2, 2,50£)
It is a brown powder that I use for contouring. It is again well pigmented and easy to apply because you can blend it easily.


6 - Pressed Powder (Shade 1, 1£)
I think this powder has a good coverage, and for once, the color is perfect for my complexion!

7 - Waterproof Eyeliner (Black, 1£)
It is a good eyeliner, nothing spectacular, I just needed a new one, because my ELF one was empty. So I decided to give it a try!

8 - Lip Gloss (Shade 5, 1£)
I'm not a huge fan of this product. Even if it is not sticky, the color is very clear and the smell is too strong for me.

9 - Lipsticks (1£)


The plastic packaging is not too bad, simple and sober. I love the fact that you can see the color without opening the tube, a real time saver. However, the smell of lipstick is a bit strong for my taste, a kind of artificial coconut, which can disturb rather quickly.
I am a little disappointed with the Shade 4 which is a pink with glitters, and it's not really my cup of tea. The shade 7, is a coral pink, iridescent, but I prefer wear it with a lip balm underneath. The pink (shade 5), is very clear, we can barely see the color. Both red, are very pigmented.

10 - Eyebrow Pencil (Blonde, 1£)
I am not an expert on this but the pencil seems fine to me, it is creamy and corresponds to the color of my eyebrows. The plus is the brush on the pencil.

11 - Eyeliner (Snow White, 1£)
Very creamy, and practice through the cap sharpener.


To conclude, I would say that the quality is very good for the price.
