MUA Lash Boom review

Yes, another MUA review is here! This time I am trying my very first MUA mascara! The MUA Lash boom is the newest mascara that MUA have released. This mascara is only £3 and is available in black black/brown and ultra black. I chose to pick up the mascara in ultra black.

The reason why I was so attracted to getting this mascara is because of the brush/wand. With mascaras I am usually not sold on them unless they have a new/interesting brush for me to try out! That's because for me it is usually the brush that has the biggest impact on how mascara works with the lashes. The MUA Lash Boom mascara starts off like the typical mascara wand however at the end goes round.

The packaging itself to me fits in with the mascaras from Rimmel and Maybelline that have been coming out lately in bright colors. It is also pretty much the same shape as the Maybelline Volum express line! However the MUA Lash Boom is much more toned down! The packaging is also very sturdy, the only problem I have is with the stopper in the mascara; it does tend to catch the wand slightly as its coming out but for £3 I wasn't too fussed.

If you have read my previous reviews of mascaras you will know I love a bold eye look. I love my eyelashes to really look thick and long and really curl up. However the problem with some mascaras is they can make it look un-natural or the actual mascara can clump. The MUA Lash Boom in my opinion is the best natural looking dramatic look. The wand instantly enabled me to get such curl and lift on my eyelashes particularly in the outer and inner corners! As you can see from the photo on the left the mascara was able to get every last lash and coat the beautifully. 

Overall for £3 I was so shocked at how amazing this mascara is. This will definitely be one of my staple mascaras in the future I loved it. This would definitely be perfect for those starting out with make-up or for those that are younger!

Positives:
  • Cheap!
  • Gives a dramatic but natural finish
Negatives
  • Stopper can be a bit stiff

Hope you guys liked this review! Have you tried the MUA Lash Boom yet? Have you tried any other MUA mascaras? What are your thoughts? Let me know in the comments!

  8. It looks gorgeous! I made a review on the Scandeleyes Showoff Mascara which is similar to this one but wasn't as good! But I also love those different mascaras and I really love that!
