Makeup Academy MUA - Intense Kisses Lip Gloss In "Lips Are Sealed" And "Sealed With A Kiss" Review + Swatches
Let's
spend a moment to appreciate the awesomeness of these lipglosses, shall we? The
MUA Intense Kisses High Intensity Gloss. I believe these are part of their
Kisses (is it?) range which includes a four-toned blusher and bronzer (you can
read my in-dept reviews and swatches here and here) due to the distinctive glittery lips on the
packaging. This lipgloss range comes in 8 different shades varying from dusty
nude pink to intense red in creme, subtle shimmery and shimmery/glittery
finishes.
I got two out of 8 in "Lips Are Sealed" and "Sealed With A Kiss" as they are colours that I can see myself reaching to the most.
Kidding
aside, do you happen to recall the lines "I send you all my love everyday
in a letter, sealed with a kiss"? Good ol' time! It reminds me so much of
Jane Austen's novels in which people send each other notes all the time so
their servants are always busy fetching notes while their masters are busy
commenting on the weather? I just love her subtle sarcasm! :)
PACKAGING: I especially love
this packaging as it is very sturdy and looks somewhat high-end, and you can
clearly see the colour inside without the slightest doubt (the tube is
transparent). It has a doe-foot applicator which I much prefer than the brush
style. I own several Illamasqua lipglosses which have such brush and it's an
absolute pain to use as it can be either too rough or too flimsy. With the
doe-foot applicator you can't go wrong and it produces a sufficient amount of
product as well.
PRICE AND AVAILABILITY: £2.00 for 5.1 ml of product on their WEBSITE
SMELL: in both of the
lipglosses I have, they have a sweet vanilla scent but not at all overpowering.
I in fact am very fond of this feature so that's a plus for me.
·
Sealed
With A Kiss: is a pale dusty rose colour, no shimmer at all.
· Lips
Are Seal: a more vibrant pink with a tiny suggestion of fuchsia and micro gold
shimmer (if you look closely) but once applied you can't detect the shimmer.

As
you can see, the colour payoff is just dazzling, almost full coverage and looks
more intense on the lips rather than on the arm I'm using to swatch above. The
product itself is creamy, not too thick and not at all sticky (which I love, as
I absolutely abhor sticky lipglosses). The doe-foot applicator provides a nice
amount of product and you can literally use these intense lipglosses on their
own or top off some lipstick for even a much more intense and shiny finish.
However it doesn't last very long on my lips, but for the price I think that
this is an awesome purchase and worth every (if not more) penny. Highly
recommended!
I
hope that you find this helpful and informative. Until next time!
