From Left to Right - Reckless, Kooky, Criminal, Atomic & Funk

So I was fortunate enough to pick all five of these MUA colours up before they kept selling out on both the MUA and Superdrug website. I initially purchased one after using my red Lime Crime velvetines so much that I am running out! And these seemed like pretty decent £3 dupes. (For that price you can't really turn them down, even if you dislike them!).

Firstly I really love how pigmented the colours, especially Kooky. You don't seem to have to too much on the stick for it to have a full cover on your lips either which is always nice because you never want to run out after a couple of coats.

The final matte finish looks very nice and sits does not come off without a fight - however I found that around the inner lip it tended to go quite clumpy and come off in lumps which the Lime Crime velvetines do not do. (This is especially unattractive if you're thinking of wearing it and going out drinking, it's never attractive having lumps of lipstick residue afterwards!)

However overall for the price you're paying they do the job to a higher expectation than I would ever have thought and I would definitely recommend you pick a couple of the colours up if you like a lip colour with a matte finish and no smudge.

Have you tried any of other 'velvet' lip colours, if so what did you think?
