Top picture L-R: MUA Pearl Eyeshadow is shade 11, 30 and 1. £1 each. 2g.
Bottom picture MUA Pearl Eyeshadow in Shade 30.
I must be so late to the party on these. These are my first ever MUA products I've bought. I knew that their eye products were popular, but I couldn't find the MUA palettes in my local Superdrug so I just settled for a few single eyeshadows. I actually thought the shade was called 'Pearl' at first; which may be fitting for the lighter colour but I got really confused when I picked up another and it also said pearl on it. After the confusion I bought them and I have to admit, for £1 I am really impressed with the quality.
Shade 30 is a bronze gold colour with shimmer. The casing is plastic with a simple design. It is sturdy enough but I think if you dropped it onto concrete it would probably shatter. The pigmentation is great and there is little fall out. The powder is maybe not as finely milled as some of the more high end eyeshadows I have tried, but that's such a small problem and to be honest for £1 I can't really complain. This shade lasts well on the eyelids but I find after about 6 hours some of the shimmer has transferred to my cheeks.
Overall, I am really impressed with these eyeshadows. I may not purchase any more simply because the other colours do not appeal to me very much, but I can see myself getting lots of use out of the ones I own.
Do you own any MUA Pearl Eyeshadows?
I own so many mua products, i love the palettes, i own one and use it most days :) i'm not keen on the eye-liners though x

I've got some MUA eye shadows too, brown shades and they're all pretty nice. Impressed fr the price they are too! xx
ReplyDeletei have never tried this brand - thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried these shadows before, but now I think I will because they seem like quite a bargain for £1! I might try the palettes because I heard they are good :) xox

oooo sarah, this looks super pretty! i bet when the gold shimmer gets on your cheeks, after 6 hours, you look like a fairy. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing, such a great shade! So dreamy!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of them, but that color is gorgeous! (I feel so bad about losing touch with you via blog comments! It's just that you've been posting a lot of makeup stuff, which isn't really my area! :P)

I have never heard of that brand, but those colors are gorgeous! I love trying new makeup brands and shades. That bronze is very flattering!
ReplyDeletei love the color! its perfect for summer and i actually have almost the same eyeshadow :)
ReplyDeletei never seen this brand here in italy but i will try to look :)

I have a similar color to that and I love it- so awesome for the summer months. Hoping that you love it too!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried it so i guess i am late too...but i will try it out
ReplyDeleteI don't own any MUA products because I don't think it's available in my part of the world. I can't believe it's only £1, the quality looks really good.

I've never heard of this brand, but the three eyeshadows you have are really beautiful colors. I like to let my friends play makeup on me and they've put some crazy colors on my face, but never one like that pearl. I'd be curious to see how it'd look on my pale skin. Does it show up on you?
ReplyDeleteI don't have any MUA products yet, but would love to get them. Bronze looks so pretty.

I've never actually used this brand's eye shadows before. The bronze colour looks nice!
ReplyDeleteI haven't used this brand before, but they look like great products! I absolutely love the colours you chose as well. Would love to get some myself :)

I love MUA. I don'y actually have any pearl ones. I might be making a special trip to Superdrug for these.
ReplyDeleteI love MUA! The palettes are great the lipsticks are really creamy and I love the plumping lipglosses! The only thing that had really dissapointed me is the concealer and the mascara - I'm hoping to get hold of the BB cream soon and try that.
ReplyDeleteThe new blog design looks gorgeous hun!! And the new button is cute too :) Gee did a great job on your illustration

Oooh these are some gorgeous shades! I've never heard of this brand, but then again, I pretty much live under a rock as far as makeup goes. I've been using the same stuff for 5+ years.
ReplyDeleteI dont wear any eyeshadow, but I do own MUA lipglosses! They are rather good for their cheap price! :)

MUA have amazingly good products for the cheap price. I have several of the single eyeshadows, and really like them although some of the colours are a bit unwearable :) x

Oh, they look great ! I had a similar metallic shade from H&M and it was great shade, lasted well, until I dropped it on the floor :D No eye shadow product survives that hit I'm afraid.. Lovely review. I must keep an eye on these at local drug stores, they sometimes have very random cheaper brands available !

I think these are brilliant value for money - especially if you're unsure of a shade and want to try it out before splurging on a more expensive version.
ReplyDeleteThey look nicely pigmented for the price
