MUA Makeup Academy Blush Review

 MUA is a super cheap exclusive to superdrug range. With most of their products costing only a few pounds I wanted to see if the quality of the products really was great value!


The square blushes are available in six shades and cost £1 for 2.4g and the mosaic blush is only available in one shade and was a little bit more expensive at £2.50 but for 8.9g of product. I purchased two blushes in Cupcake and Bon Bon and the mosaic blush is in English Rose. You can pick these up from Superdrug or the MUA website (http://www.muastore.co.uk/) which does ship internationally.

The square blushes blew me away with the quality for the price. They are a matte formulation with a lovely smooth buttery texture and really impressive pigmentation. They also blend really nicely over makeup and I found them to have really great staying power with the colour barely fading throughout the day. You don't get a lot of product compared to standard blushes but for £1 and the quality I think they're still amazing value for money.

The mosaic blush is a much weaker colour but it has a really pretty shimmery finish. It swatches more like a pale pink highlighter rather than a blush and I think it looks really pretty used in this way. While I wouldn't say it was anything revolutionary as far as highlighters go, it does look really pretty and I have been reaching for it in my everyday makeup.

As the first MUA products I have ever tried I'm really impressed with the quality for the money, especially with the square blushes  and I think I'll definitely be picking up some more and exploring the line further :)
