Makeup Academy (or MUA) is a super-popular brand over in England which just recently made its way over to American drugstores, exclusively at CVS! I genuinely love this brand and the quality is so great. For the price, it’s definitely one of the best brands you can buy at a drugstore.

Smokey Eye Shadow Palette

MUA Smokey Eye Shadow Palette – $14

Hands down this is the best quality palette you can buy at a drugstore. The quality is so on point, and it’s extremely pigmented and easy to blend. The colors also work so well together! The shimmers aren’t like typical drugstore shadows, which are normally chalky and kind of gross.

The only shade I didn’t care for was the blue one, and that might just be because I don’t like blue eyeshadows on me, but I also found it to apply a bit patchy. You need this though, I promise. It’s so worth it!

Amp Up Adjustable Impact Mascara

MUA Amp Up Adjustable Impact Mascara – $8

This mascara might seem average at first, but it holds a secret. You can actually change the wand to get four different mascaras in one! You twist the wand to get four different looks: natural, lash-enhancing, length and volume, and maximum volume.

This is such a handy mascara for traveling or for when you just need to customize your look! It’s so easy to use, and the formula of the mascara itself is so nice and smooth. This is such a great product for being so gimmicky! I love how well it actually works.
