Ever since I started blogging, I got the pleasure of meeting a lot of new bloggers all around the world. Sometimes, when I read UK beauty blogs, I realize there are some cosmetic brands which we Canadians cannot get here.
One very popular drugstore brand in UK is MUA Makeup Academy. A very affordable and high quality makeup brand. Guess it is like the Wet n Wild. Drugstore brand and very affordable. I have used a few of their eye shadow palettes and am thoroughly enjoying them. High-pigmentation and easy to apply. Who said drugstore brands are no comparison to high end brands?
As much as I love my Urban Decay Naked Palette 2, I want to branch out and try other similar palettes. There is the MUA 12 Shade Undressed Palette which is very similar to the Naked Palette which I want to try. I went to their website and very surprised to find the shipping is not bad at all. So decided to make my first online order with MUA.
this is my first haul from MUA

This is a whole lot of eye shadows for one purchase, right? I was just going to get the 12 Shade Undressed Palette but then the shipping is going to be the same. When I placed the order last week, there is a promo of when you placed an order for £8.00, you would get the 24 Shade Immaculate collection palette for free. Isn't that a great deal? (I believe the promo is still available)

The shades are more similar to the shades in the original Naked Palette which I don't have and have been contemplating to get. But so glad I didn't and got this palette instead.

24 Shade Immaculate Collection Palette
The first 2 palettes are £4.00 each and I got the 24 shade immaculate collection palette for free. Shipping is £7.50. My total for this order is £15.50 which converts to Canadian $ 24.23, which is not a bad deal at all.
I only did a few swatches of the shades and they are very pigmented and silky. So excited to try them out. Have you tried MUA cosmetics and what are your thoughts on these and your favorites?
