I have finally managed to get my hands on one of the MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquer's, wowza these little beauties are popular, ever since they have been released I've been trying to get my hands on some but they where always sold out and now I know why, as they are beautiful!!!
There are 5 shades in the Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquer collection...
♥ Atomic
♥ Reckless
♥ Criminal
♥ Funk
♥ Kooky
All of which are pretty show stopping shades.
The shade I opted for was Reckless, a matte blue based red that's extremely bold and eye catching, its very much a classic red lip kind of shade. As for application.... Reckless applies well and is opaque after one coat, but as its such a bold colour theres no room for error whilst applying as if you do make a mistake its quite hard to correct, the lacquer also has a tacky/sticky feeling once you've applied it but this soon goes after a few seconds when the lacquer has set. As the lacquer is matte is does feel ever so slightly drying on the lips, but then I find most matte lip products have that dryer feeling, so for me that wasn't a major and I was expecting that anyway.
The lasting power of Reckless is simply incredible, it claims to be waterproof and smudge proof and the claims aren't wrong, the lacquer was on my lips around 5-6 hours before I could do with a slight touch up which I think is amazing, that's with eating a drinking, it also never transferred on cups or kisses making it perfect for Valentines Day he he.
I also really favour the packaging of the whole Luxe London range, I think it makes the products look so much more expensive than they actually are, and the frosted glass effect tube that the Lip Lacquers come in is really lovely.
Overall yet again I'm super impressed with MUA, they really are on fire with their releases recently and the fact you can get such high quality results from the high street is fabulous. The MUA Lip Lacquers will set you back just £3, yup that's right £3, what a beauty bargain!!!
