MUA Lips Collection in Heartbreaker and Sincere

MUA Makeup Academy Lip Products

A few months back I received a set of MUA Lip products, including Matte Lipsticks, Lip Glosses, Lip Stylo and Lip Liners in the shades Heartbreaker and Sincere, here are my thoughts:

Creamy Matte Lipstick:

It is encased in lightweight packaging with a slanted top featuring the MUA branding at the top of the tube. 

Has the shade name sticker on the bottom and product title on front of tube in metallic bronze writing. The inner tube is also metallic bronze, which gives it an elegant, glamorous look. 

The cap is easy to open and locks securely in place. The ingredients' list is on a sticker placed at the back of the cap and while the tube colour matches lipstick shade inside for easier identification, the product is sealed for hygiene with a small clear sticker that connects the base and lid. 

The lipstick features a classic twist up dispensing method and a sweet scent which is not overpowering. 

It is also creamy, well pigmented and glides on the lips.

The Creamy Matte Lipstick has a velvety finish which I like as it is not too matte and doesn't make my lips look dry. In fact it actually moisturised them and smoothed any dry skin that I had.

Heartbreaker is a beautiful darker cherry red shade, which I believe will suit most skin tones. A perfect colour for autumn and winter if you like a statement lip.

Sincere is a medium brown nude colour that is very on trend however, I did not find it suited my skin tone too well.

The case is made with 30% recycled plastic, the PAO 12 months.  

I would definitely recommend the MUA Creamy Matte Lipstick if you are looking to expand your lip wardrobe with non-drying, velvety and super affordable lipsticks (they're only £3.50 each!)


Nourishing Lip Gloss:

Comes in a clear square prism clear tube with a metallic copper lid. There's matching copper writing on the front and back. The clear packaging shows off the lipstick-shaped interior that encases the lip gloss.

The lip gloss is not sticky, has a sweet vanilla fragrance and is easily applied with a classic doe-foot applicator.

The Nourishing Lip Gloss leaves my lips feeling soft, smooth and shiny. I also really like that it contains Jojoba, Rosehip and Argan oil to moisturise the lips. 

Heartbreaker is a pretty cherry red colour that can be worn on its own for a subtle glossy red lip or over any of the other lip products for added colour intensity.

Sincere is a brown-nude colour that looks very natural on the lips since it is not as pigmented as Heartbreaker. It can also be used on its own for nourishment and shine, or applied over the matching lip products for a more intense look.

It is sealed for hygiene with a small clear sticker and the lid contains another sticker with the ingredients list. The PAO is 12 months and it is a very affordable £4 for 6.5 ml


Satin Sheen Lip Stylo:

Comes in a compact slim tube packaging with an easily removable lid. The tube is made out of glossy plastic which mimics the finish of product. On the front it features the brand and product name and on the back it has further information, as well as the ingredient sticker on the lid. The product is encased inside an inner tube in a copper shade which matches the outside writing, and it is dispensed by a smooth twist up action.

The Lip Stylo is lightly scented with a sweet vanilla fragrance, like the Matte Lipstick and Lip Gloss. 

Heartbreaker is a pretty cherry red shade, well pigmented and I believe it would suit a wide variety of skin tones. Perfect for a festive look of if you usually prefer a bold lip colour. 

Sincere is a 90s nude-brown shade. I like the colour and the fact it has a glossy finish and felt it suited me better than the Matte Lipstick. 

The Stylo can be applied lightly for a natural look or layered for more intense colour. 

It makes my lips feel softer and look smoother which I really like. It also lasted quite well through a meal, faded slightly but did not look patchy.

The outer case packaging is made from 30% recycled plastic, comes sealed with a sticker for hygiene, has a 12 month PAO, and is only £3.50. 

Because of the performance and price point I would definitely recommend the MUA Satin Sheen Lip Stylo and I would love to try other shades as well.


Intense Colour Lip Liner:

They come in a lightweight, natural wooden pencil packaging that matches the colour of the liner inside. Capped with a metallic copper coloured plastic lid that is easily replaced and fits snuggly to avoid it coming off. 

The liner itself is very creamy and pigmented, allowing for it to be used on its own or to prevent other lip products from bleeding and feathering. It is also easily layered with the other products within the range. 

Sincere is a 90s nude-brown colour that gives a retro look. 

Heartbreaker is a cherry-red colour that will suit most skin tones and will look great for the festive period. 

The Lip Liner contains Castor Seed Oil to moisturise the lips. It is very creamy and glides without any tugging or pulling and provides very nice pigmentation. 

They can be sharpened to achieve a precise look every time. 

The cap is made with 30% recycled plastic, the PAO is 6 months and the ingredient list is provided as a sticker on the pencil. It also comes sealed for hygiene which I greatly appreciate.
