News Flash: MUD Make Up Design at Woolworths

Do you remember how Woolworths had the Ulta3 bins in the supermarket a few months ago? Now they seem to be all gone with a few lonely baskets of polish waiting to be reduced further. In this week's catalogue for Woolworths they introduce a new cosmetics range called MUD - Make Up Design. They seem to be a very popular release because there was not much available when I did my grocery shopping last night and slipped a couple of items in.


As you can see (excuse the impatient night picture with flash), the products are individually packaged so that you do not need to worry about whether someone has opened the bottle of polish and played with it before you buy it. In the nail range, they have nail polish and nail stickers. It is a small range of colour but at least it has a daring range of colours. They do not stick with traditional pinks and reds.


Look at the nail stickers! Admittedly these were the most interesting and unique of what was available. There were only four designs available: a lace design, a pink glitter, a red base colour with white polka dots and this raised crystal star design. All of them can be easily replicated with stamping or a dotting tool apart from the stars. I have never tried nail strips before but I thought I would try these at $5.


MUD is another cosmetic range from the Heat Group. They also make Ulta3 and NYC. Woolworths are selling the 13ml polish for $3.

    1. I am going to have to find some time to post about the MUD polish I tried. I needed more pictures but it popped off my nails with my PVA base coat.

  2. They're not good, they have toxic ingredients such as formaldehyde.

    1. Formaldehyde is a naturally occurring organic compound that nearly every living animal and plant produces at various levels through the living process. Formaldehyde is an important building block in the production of some of the most popular consumer items, as a medical preservative for human tissue and organs, and in household and industrial products.

      Low levels of formaldehyde can be found in many consumer products including cosmetics and personal care products like shampoos and conditioners, shower gels, liquid hand soaps, cream cleansers, skin moisturisers, toothpastes, nail hardeners, eyelash glues, and hair straightening solutions.

      Exposure to low levels of formaldehyde does not present a health concern; however, exposure to cosmetics containing excessive levels of formaldehyde is a safety concern, especially when used directly on people’s hair and skin.
