superdrug 'mua' make up

As I was browsing through my local Superdrug the other day I noticed a new stand with their budget make up range called 'make up academy'. Every item on the stand costs an amazing £1 each, be it mascara, eyeshadow or lipstick etc. Obviously with everything being so cheap the first question that popped into my mind was about the quality. So I got swatching and I was mega surprised that the both the pigment of the eyeshadows and lipsticks were brilliant. The eyeshadows feel silky to apply and the lipstick glides on with ease. Now baring in mind that Mac eyeshadows have 1.5g of product and the MUA eyeshadows have 2g of product, that really is amazing. The packaging of them doesn't come across as cheap to me either, it's kept simple and classy. This time round I picked up four colours but I will most definitely be going back to pick up some more shades soon. They also have a great range of blushers that I'm after as well. But don't worry if your local Superdrug doesn't carry MUA yet as you can buy the range online too. If I could recommend that you buy only one thing it would definitely be the white/highlight eyeshadow, it's actually amazing.

Have you bought anything from the MUA range at Superdrug?
