Mini Super Drug Haul: MUA and I love...

Everyone knows about the fantastic 3 for 2 offer on at Superdrug at the moment (ends December 4th aka my 4 year anniversary, eek!) and I decided that it was high time I took advantage of it myself. I'm feeling extremely strapped for cash at the minute because payday isn't 'til Monday, so naturally I headed straight for the MUA section.
Previous to this I was a total MUA virgin. Never touched the stuff, never even heard of it before I started blogging. That is until I swatched a few bits yesterday and gasped at the gorgeous pigmentation of the eyeshadows! Wow. I've also heard great things about the lipsticks so I grabbed 3 and I threw in a nail varnish for good measure.

Excuse the weird sticky stain. They all had these horrible little "new" stickers on and I clearly suck at removing stickers.

 In daylight.
At night with flash. (first and second swapped round, sorry)

The labelling on these is literally the most confusing thing. There were some numbers on the stickers and one of them had two different names on two different stickers?! So bizarre. I'll update with the shades if I can figure it out. They look super pretty and I can't wait to try them on my lips.

I'm a sucker for metallic browns and these bronze and gold shades are just beautiful. They are so pigmented and smooth. These are in shade 28 and 30.

The nail varnish is in Plum Noir. Unbelievably I picked all this up for £4. Oh my goodness. My purse was very grateful!

As I was browsing the bath bits a brand caught my eye which is simply called "I love..." this is very Philosophy style packaging, super sleek and quirky but without the price tag.


This raspberry and blackberry scent was by far my favourite. It smells incredible. It actually smells just like my current addiction, Sainsburys own Raspberry Sorbet, tastes. I know that's a weird way to describe it but you'd know what I mean if you tried it! I got this huge 500ml bottle for just £2.05 which is fantastic and picked up the matching lip balm for 99p.

Sadly I wasn't able to smell the lipbalm in store because it plastic wrapped and there wasn't any testers but to be honest I'm a bit disappointed! It's nowhere near as nice as the wash smells and when I tried it it was hard and waxy and difficult to use. I'm not sure if it just needs warming a little but I'll post a review when I've had a few tries with it.

So that's everything! Expect some swatches and reviews in due time.

What have you picked up at Superdrug recently? And what do you think of the featured brands?

Sorry if I seem horrible :( but I'm sure you can understand where I'm coming from. Thank you.

  4. I love MUA make-up. It's so cheap yet really good quality too, which is ideal for me since i'm unemployed right now. So, these are really the only products that are affordable to me. The lipsticks are gorgeous shades!

    1. Yeah tell me about it! I have a part time job but the money goes on bills :/ I worry sometimes that people won't care about what I post because there's no high-end stuff. Do you worry about that too? x
