Makeup Academy Haul/Review!

I've heard lots about this MUA so I thought I'd try some of their products out, and whilst I was trying them out I thought I'd be nice and share my thoughts with you!

My first impressions was WOW, CHEAP! All their products were such low prices, but I wondered whether they'd be any good quality because they're not a lot of money...

I got my delivery the other day (I get super excited when deliveries arrive- I have a sad life) and they all came together in one cardboard box filled with bubble wrap. Who doesn't love bubble wrap?! After acting like a child at Christmas and popping the bubbles I actually remembered why I had this box in the first place, NEW MAKEUP!!

The first product I'll have a natter about is their Ready-to-wear Brush-on concealer from their Fashionista range

I use this for my dark under-eye circles (so annoying), it doesn't totally erase them but it lightens and fades them which I'm happy about because I hate them! It has a brush on the end so you can spread the concealer evenly over the places you need and it's just handy. This retails at £1.50.

Next is Makeup Academy Matte Lipstick

I got these in the colour 'Scarlet Siren' (the red one) and 'Wild Berry' (the purpley one). When I got them I thought WOW the colours looked ace at the bottom, but they don't go like that on the lips. I was abit disappointed with these 'cause I've been wanting some bold colours for a while, and these just didn't work for me. These retail at just £1 each.

 I also got their Maxi Volume Mascara Big Lash Impact from their Fashionista range

This mascara has a brush applicator which I haven't used in a long time, I've been getting plastic applicator mascaras. I was quite impressed with this mascara because it made my lashes look really long and I didn't have to layer lots of it on. This retails at £1.50.

Another product was their Matte Perfect Loose Powder


I have never bought a loose powder before and I don't think I'll be raving about them anytime soon, I find them too messy! I got this in Translucent because I only wanted it to stop the fake shine look after I'd put foundation on. I prefer compressed powder like my Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Powder which has 16 hour coverage (it's really good). This retails at £2.30.





I've been wanting to try their Stippling Brush (F2) for ages but it always was out of stock

When it finally came in stock I didn't hesitate and added it straight to my shopping cart, I hate it when you buy a brush and the bristles are hard but this brush is lovely and soft, and I use it to blend my concealer. I love this brush but remember to wash brushes regularly because the bacteria builds up and you'll be wiping it on your face. This retails at just £3.



Last but by no means least is their Pro-Brow Ultimate Eyebrow Kit



I absolutely LOVE this, it's my favourite product out of them all! It has a pair of mini tweezers (I don't use them though I have my Avon ones which I use), an angled,double-sided mini brush, 2 shades of the eyebrow colour (a light one and a darker one), a highlighter and a gel. The choice of 2 colours means that you can  choose which one suits you most or mix them to find your shade, and the gel sets the brow colour so you get lasting results. The highlighter can be put on the brow bone to make your brows stand out. This was the most expensive out of them all retailing at £3.50 which is still an absolute bargain!



Overall, I thought these products were great for the price and there's definitely some that I will be purchasing again when I run out! I spent £13.80 on 7 products which I don't think is bad at all, and I am happy with most of what I've got.
