In one of my recent posts I said about the MUA stuff I'd bought online and after today I've used all of the products. Firstly if you're thinking about ordering any MUA products online rather than going into a store, I totally recommend it. I ordered my things late one evening and 2 mornings later they had arrived, so really fast postage!
Nail Constellation - I only tried this quickly on one nail because I was really excited but didn't have the time to do all of my fingers, so I didn't take any decent pictures. However I'm sure most people know what they look like by now, haha. After reading other reviews on them I decided not to even try the application method they provide. Instead, I poured a small amount of the tiny little balls into the smallest dish I could find and dipped my fingernail into it. It worked pretty well, and any bits that were missed I just pressed a few gently on with my fingers. They stick really solidly which I was pleasantly surprised by and they look really great! I'm looking forward to getting another colour combination when I order more.
Matte Foundation - When I'd first put this on all over my face I wasn't too sure about it. It was quite sticky and made me feel quite clammy. I left it for a few minutes before I put any powder on and it'd dried up fine and the powder made it better too. It was really really nice on the 'good bits' of my skin. Any blemishes etc it doesn't have great coverage on but with a concealer it'd be fine. I much prefer it to my current foundation, it's smooth and not at all cakey. And at £2, it's my new favourite!
Blusher - The blusher I got is lovely too! It isn't as soft as in the picture on the website but it's still fitting for the weather. It's got a nice, subtle shimmer too it as well.
Extreme Felt Eyeliner - At £2 I was skeptical but again, I really really love it. It's just as easy to apply as any eyeliner pen I've used before and it's just as dark, black and slick. And after wearing it all day, it's not moved. It's definitely going to become something I use on a daily basis.
Lipgloss Tube - This was a fair bit darker in the tube than on the picture online but when I applied it it was lighter. Has a nice, subtle shimmer to it. Really nice to carry around for a quick gloss up.
Lipstick - The shade was just what I wanted! Still darker like my other favourite MUA lipstick but with less of a bright pinky tone. It's nice and creamy and for a £1 lipstick lasts for a decent amount of time. The only time I had to reapply quite a bit was after eating which I expected. It has a nifty end that unscrews as well. I'm not sure what the convenience of it is, but I still think it's cool! I've always been of the opinion that I don't particularly suit lipstick up until recently so I'm glad to now have 2 that I'll be happy to wear any day of the week :)
All in all I was really pleased with every single thing that I bought. All of my make up today was MUA apart from mascara and translucent powder. If anything my make up was a lot better because the foundation matched my skin tone a lot more than the other one I usually use. I'll honestly probably switch to using the MUA one because not only does it seem to work better with my skin but it's only £2. You can't really see the blusher in the picture but I've only used my phone for pictures. In real life you can see the pink and shimmer just a tad :)
And most importantly, it lasted through to the end of the night and through the cat cuddles.

I adore MUA's products! Their palettes and eye primer especially are my favourites and I highly recommend them. I also love their lipsticks, their normal £1 I found was nicer than their lip booms, just shows you don't have to pay much to be satisfied with your makeup :)
