I really can't get enough of bright lips at the moment, it might be because the weather is still so dull but a strong pop of colour really seems to cheer me up!
I picked up the Power Pouts in my order of MUA goodies and they were the first product I tried on. These are a tint and balm in one and remind me in texture a little of the Revlon Lip Butters but are more pigmented and I think glossier as well. These are in chubby stick style- a thick pointed wand of colour that twists up out of the holder and can be held like a pen. I really like how easy it is to get a defined shape with these as well as being able to get precisely under and between the lips, which I think is a really important step to making lips look bigger and more voluptuous.
The Power Pouts have a very faint minty scent but not much of a taste and unlike the Out There glosses, the colour stays on the lips long after the glossy balm has sunk in- they do tint the lips for a good while after but not in the strong pigmented way that a stain would.
Irreplaceable / Broken Hearted
I'm pretty in love with these- theres no faffing about with lip liners and drying lipsticks and then a gloss on top as its all in there waiting for you. Disaster struck a little the other day though with the packaging as I put the Irreplaceable shade in a side pocket of my bag and throughout the day the cap came off, took a nice chunk out of the side of the balm and mashed it around my bag which I wasn't too happy about! I think to take them around I might have to tape the lids down, not so sophisticated but at least will prevent further disaster!
Of the two that I have, Irreplaceable is my favourite as I tend to prefer bluey pinks over reddish ones. I was a little disappointed with the shade choice as I would've liked to have seen more light colours but hopefully with a little encouragement MUA will extend the range!
The MUA Power Pouts are available from Superdrug and MUAstore.co.uk for just £3.
I can't wait to give these a try. they look gorgeous. x

ReplyDeleteOoh good luck with the spending ban! I have a tiny little one every couple of weeks and then cave in haha. My bank must love me though, my moneys never in my account long enough for them to pay me interest! x

Yeh I think the packaging makes them look more expensive! Thank you, it was meant to be leopard print, but from the looks of them Ive never seen a leopard before haha.
DeleteCant wait to meet you either, really looking forward to it! xx
I love the colours of both of these they're beautiful and so perfect for summer :D I really want to try them but haven't been able to find them in any of my local stores yet :( I want some of the MUA make-up brushes as well so might have to treat myself to an online order at some point :P
ReplyDeleteLove Holly x
Ooh yeh Ive got the stippling brush and blending brush, really like them! I did a big online order because I heard lots of the MUA things were selling out and didn't want to make the trip for nothing haha xx
