So yesterday my mum and I went into town for a little look around and I came home with a few bits from Superdrug. I bought all of this out of my advantage card points that I've been saving up for a while as I had an email the other day saying that my points were due to expire so spend them before they run out. According to the woman who served me, the points do not run out, even if you've had an email and should still be on your cards regardless, but don't take my word on it- ask first!
Anyway... I've been looking out for some orange and coral coloured lipsticks and knowing how cheap MUA's products are I decided to spend my points testing out their coraly/orange shades. Here's what I got:
MUA Power Pout:
MUA Power Pout: £3 each (On Offer 2 for £4)
First off were these Power Pout lip tint and balm lip crayons in shades #Broken Hearted and #Justify.
In all honesty, they're not as good as other lip crayons I've tried such as the Revlon ones as I feel you need to apply a lot for good pigment. They wear off quite quickly too in my opinion and although they do leave a tinted stain I don't feel like that bright intense pigment last that long, but if you don't mind topping up every now and then they should be fine for you. I wore it for around 1 hour and a half to 2 hours before I felt like I really needed to apply more. When applied generously is does leave you with a nice colour and shine that doesn't feel heavy or sticky on the lips. It's also got that same mint smell like the Revlon lip crayons too.
#Broken Hearted is a raspberry pink shade whilst #Justify is a red toned orange shade.

MUA Lipstick:
MUA Lipstick £1 each
Next up was this MUA Lipstick. I already own an MUA Lipstick in Shade 13 which is a gorgeous bright intense red colour and I love how great the quality of this lipstick is for just £1 so being on the hunt for the perfect coral/orange shade for summer I decided to give MUA's other shades a go. I picked up both Shade 15 Juicy and Shade 16 Nectar as they seemed like the colours that were the closest to orange. I am definitely not dissapointed, I LOVE these colours. I'm sooo glad I picked them up. Shade 15 Juicy is more of a peachy orange whilst Shade 16 Nectar is a much brighter shade of orange. These lipstick are very pigmented... like VERY pigmented. They apply so easily and glide on smoothly with lots of moisture and colour. Not only do you get the lipstick but if you twist the bottom off you also get the same shade only in a lip balm. How cool. For £1, they are amazing and dare I say it... even better than most of the more expensive lipsticks I've tried. I would definitely recommend trying these out for yourself!
