MUA Lip Boom: Vibe and LMK (Let Me Know)

I had been avoiding lip booms, not sure why, I thought the lip gloss would be sticky and when you can buy lipstick for £1 why spend the extra 2 :P 

I saw one on the MUA instagram, the purple one, and I have been after a purple lipstick that wasn't so dark it was practically black for a while. Why not get it, I love everything else MUA has to offer, and I wasn't let down! There will be quite a few photos in this post.

 They both have one side glittery lipgloss and the other side lipstick with the little lipstick pot at the end. When I opened them I couldn't believe how gorgeous they smell, is it vanilla? They remind me of cakes, I have never smelt a lipstick so nice, even nicer than the Avon ones.

LMK (Let Me Know) Is a nice deep purple, but not too dark. I think I need to work on applying such a dark colour though, I was a bit messy. You can wear it 3 ways (I found 3 ways not sure what the 4th is!) Lipstick on its own, with the gloss over it or the gloss on its own.

 The other one I bought is Vibe. After getting the purple and falling in love I wanted a less 'out there' colour so I could wear it more often. Vibe is a nude colour, just what I was after.

Lipstick and Lipstick+Gloss

The formula is the same for both, the lipsticks turn out darker on my lips than they do on my arm, but I can't take photos of my lips. The glosses are slightly tinted, and then the brush gets a bit tinted with the lipstick anyway.

One of my favourite features from the MUA lipstick range, is the little pot that pops onto the bottom.

I am very impressed with these, I can't believe I waited so long to get them! 

Lip Booms retail at £3. There are other colours as well. You can purchase them at Superdrug and online at MUA Store, both of which have a 3 for 2 offer on at the moment.

Have you tried any of the Lip Booms?

MUA: Lipstick, Power Pout and Intense Kisses

So yes I am doing a non nail polish related post! 

I am completely new to lip products, but since I started blogging and following other blogs I've been really tempted to try new things. My main issue with lipsticks is they usually make my lips feel dry, and with lipgloss they feel sticky.

Today I went to superdrug and got a massive bargain, didn't cost me a thing because I had points on my superdrug card, and I somehow ended up with Power Pout for 1p! As this is definitely new to me I would really appreciate any tips, my lips just seem to be naturally wonky, I think its the piercings! 

Ok first is Power Pout:

This is 'Irreplaceable' The power pouts are a new product, available online for a while and I have been waiting for them to come into the store, £3 each they are. They don't leave my lips feeling dry at all, and it has a really nice minty scent to it, this is a really nice shade of pink.

Next the lipstick:

The MUA lipsticks only cost £1!! I could have been there forever deciding which shade to go for, this is called Shade 5, this is one of the first I picked up and it has a little shimmer to it, and I was after a light pink so decided to go for it. At that price I can go get some more. Again this one feels really nice and doesn't feel dry after time. The bottom unscrews to a little lip balm as well, totally worth the price!

Finally the Intense Kisses Lipgloss:

These lipglosses are £2 and I went for 'Sweet Nothings' a bright pink. I didn't really like applying this, it was a bit streaky, dabbed the excess off onto tissue and it looked fine, yet again it doesn't feel sticky, the quality of these products for the price is so good, I am totally in love with this brand at the moment.

Have you tried any of the MUA lip range? any favourites?
Any tips are welcome as well :)
