THE 5 MUA PRODUCTS I WILL REPURCHASE

When it comes to cheap cosmetics I can be a little wishy-washy - some things I adore and some things I think are best left on the shelf. Recently I've had the opportunity to try a lot of budget bargains that I've raved about but the one brand I keep going back to time and again? MUA, of course.I love high end cosmetics but when I want a high street pick-me-up or I'm having to fend off the bank manager the first place I turn to is Superdrug for the MUA stand. I wanted to share with you the 5 products that I will repurchase time and again from them because, well, I'm a little bit in love and couldn't imagine not having them in my stash.Firstly we have the much blogged about dupes for Urban Decay: the now infamous Undressed (RRP £4.00) and Undress Me Too Palettes (RRP £4.00). Pigmented with a great longevity when worn if you want an alternative to spending a lot of money on every day, wearable neutrals then these are for you. I do own the Naked 2 and Naked Basics Palettes from Urban Decay but I save them for special occasion as I get exactly the same looks from these MUA alternatives. As base products go I openly admit I'm a bit of a snob but I like the Undress Your Skin Illuminating Foundation (RRP £5.00). It's not got the best durability when it's on it's own but with a great primer and a great powder it really is a fab product. The 'illuminating' particles give a subtle dewy effect but not glitterball thankfully.The Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter (RRP £3.00) has the prettiest design embossed onto it and gives a great glow to the skin when applied lightly, although if you're too heavy handed it can look chalky. I like to use it on the tops of my cheeks and as an inner corner highlight for my eye makeup. And to round up my five? I couldn't do a post like this without mentioning the Lipstick in Shade 3 (RRP £1.00). It's a bright pop of fushia-pink which gets me loads of compliments every time I wear it. I also like to put it onto my cheeks for a flush of colour. The longevity of this lipstick is about 1-2 hours depending on what you're doing but at the price I don't mind sailing through it. I'm already onto my second one.All of these products can be found on the MUA website or in Superdrug stores with MUA stands across the UK.
