MUA Lipstick Shade 13 Review, Swatches and FOTD

Hello everyone!
Today I am going to review one of the affordable red lipsticks from MUA to pair up with light eye makeup. If you are looking out for a hot wearable red lippy with an affordable price tag, then this is for you. You would have checked it in my recent MUA haul. Didn’t you? So come lets get into the review now.

Claims of the Lipstick:

Girls, there is nothing better than lipstick. Apart from maybe lipstick that costs just £1! Ok definitely lipstick that costs just £1. Don’t say we’re not good to you. Our amazing lipsticks come in 16 shades from red to pink and nude and are packed full of pigmentation. With just one swipe you’ll have fantastic colour pay off resulting in gorgeous lips! Why not pick a shade you’ve not tried before and get a new look? It is just £1 after all…did we already mention that?


Price and Quantity:

£1 for 3.8 g (Around Rs.78)


Shade Reviewed:

No.13

My Take on MUA Lipstick Shade 13:

The MUA lipstick comes in a sturdy plastic bullet. Though the price is just one euro, the lipstick bullet doesn’t look cheap at all. It has a twist up bottom and overall, the packaging is good, easy to use and travel friendly. Ah I forgot.. There is a mini lipstick pot attached to the bottom of this lipstick. It helps to identify the shade quickly; and once your lipstick get over, you can use this tub – double bonus!

 

 

This particular shade 13 is a hot red shade! It is more on the brighter shade. I can find no shimmers on the lipstick bullet but on swatching, my eyes got those tiny golden shimmers here and there (Though they won’t be visible on your lips at all)

The texture of this lipstick is extremely creamy, smooth and easy to glide on. From a cheaply priced lipstick like this, I really didn’t expect this much creaminess. Actually, it’s a good news for every lipstick lover who cannot spend huge bucks on high end brands. The lipstick is very moisturizing that it didn’t dry out my lips even after 2 hours of application. This is one lipstick that covers pigmented lips in only swipe – the coverage is opaque.

 

The lipstick stays on my lips for 2-3 hours (without taking food or drinks) and then fades leaving a nice red tint. If I forget to exfoliate my lips well before application, this lipstick settles into fine lines and spoils the look. And one more bad thing, it transfers very easily and one splash of water – its all gone! The lipstick is not even water resistant. But overall, for the price of the lipstick, I have nothing to say bad.

 

What I like about this Lipstick?:

  • Hot red shade
  • Smooth, creamy texture
  • Does not dry out my lips
  • Decent packaging
  • Staying power is good without food! :P
  • Leaves behind a beautiful tint
  • Brightens up face instantly
  • Covers pigmented lips in single swipe!
  • Very affordable price!

 

What I don’t like about this lipstick?:

  • Transfers badly
  • Settles into fine lines if lips are not exfoliated properly

MABH Rating: 4/5

Would I Repurchase?:

Well.. May be! I am not so sure. If I finish this bullet, I may get another one. But I am planning to try the other shades from MUA.

Do I Recommend?:

Price-wise and quality wise, these MUA lipsticks are steal! I would highly recommend this lipstick to budget-makeup lovers, and school/college going girls. If you are a lover of hot red shade, then shade.13 is a must.

    1. Nope but am going to soon. How did you go about it? BTW, after reading so many of the reviews these days here my shopping list is getting bigger! BUT, no complaining here :)

    2. I recently shopped from them :) Quality-wise, the products are soooo good for their affordable price tags.. But the only problem is the ‘missing’ thing.. I have no clue whether it is the company’s fault or courier ppl’s.. 4 of my eye pencils were missing last time :( Thank god I got the palettes in good condition.

    3. Yeah Nicekp.. I mailed them for a refund.. Didn’t check my account yet.! After placing your order, mail them to dispatch it safely (In a thick box somethin.) This way, you can prevent missin of products.. Message to their fb fan page; they respond quickly! I am going to follow this from next time.

  1. awesome shade lancy…but i think a brown based red would suit you instead of. hot red…hot red kinda highlights pigmentation and dullness if its not the perfect colour…dont mind k…it still looks great on you but try more like elle 18 roasty red type shade:)

    1. Yeah sure Dharu! :) Its surely not a wearable kind of red in Chennai.. I won’t wear it outside the house :P However the imperfections are due to my no makeup face! :( I am only wearing a sheer compact in this look! No foundation or concealer.. I ll definitely try roasty red! :) Thanks..

    2. Me horlicks ;;-) ;;-) Just now had.. I don’t drink green tea bcz I heard somewhere tat it reduces weight.. I dont wanna look more skinny :(

    1. Its a fun-to-wear hot red pearl! :) Will surely suit you! See it even suits my dark skin tone a bit.. So I am sure it will suit you good..

  2. wow Lancy! Looking tooo much appealing (sensored)! :P lovely shade, and so affordable the price is! I will get a MUA haul soon :P :D

  3. Wow Lancy, it’s a great shade. I think you are wearing it in your profile picture in fb also, it’s looks very good on you. And coupled with that dark khol you are wearing, it looks stunning.
    Btw which khol pencil have you lined your waterline with, it’s so jet black.

    1. omg! seriously!! i have got to get it, thanks, Lancy. And I think after seeing your LOTD’s the bright colours are suiting you very well, you carry it beautifully!

  4. Wow, looks lovely on you. And it has faded so evenly after two hours. I’ve never tried MUA stuff but now maybe I should.
