Could be better

Great for when I'm at the drugstore and deciding if I should buy the product. To make searching for a product more efficient when in public though, a barcode scanning feature should be added. That way, you can scan the product you're interested in and have it bring up the review page without watibg your time trying to find it manually. Just my two cents. It would make duplicate products easier to maintain since the product will be under one barcode.

Missing a few options

I appreciate the reviews from real folks, BUT I want to save my favourites without a separate notepad and share info with specific users, women in my age group, skin type etc without spending hours looking thru products that would never meet my needs

App?

Really? All you can do is to look up products and write reviews? I'd love to be able to save my favourite products and look at them in a later time. Please make this app more efficient.

Great app

I really like this app. Easy to use search. Reviews are listed under products. It would be nice to be able to click on a product and add it to a shopping/wish list.

Bad

it's alright, but i would like to use the website better. They should allow us to see the ingredients of a product and let us write reviews. I'm going to delete this now

Temptu

I must say that makeup companies are not what they use to be. I am a makeup artist that made the mistake of trusting that the complete set I bought of air pods would work !!! Well on the day I was going to do a wedding I found out that half were defective. I thought my machine was broken so I bought a new gun. The new still doesn't work but by this time it's past the exchange time. I pay $50 to send the broken set back to find out that 80% are dried out. How can that be when they were never used. Over $600 down the drain. It's so upsetting to know that it was a waste. The make up and concept is great but if the product is not there when you buy it that is a big problem. I am writing to share my experience so you don't make the same expensive mistake I made.

Something definitely went wrong

UPDATE: Finally problem has been fixed. Everything is working normally again. User-friendly, convenient, 5 star app - I use it all the time! Thank you!

Previous review:
I've been a frequent MUA user for several years. Have been happily using this app for quite some time as well... Until recently.

What everyone is saying is true, the creators are clearly having technical issues. Any search attempt yields "no results found".

Wanted to point out that I began having this problem BEFORE updating the app. The only reason I updated was in attempt to fix the problem. But sadly- same issue persists.

I have the iPhone 5, my OS is updated, and I've even tried deleting the app and re-installing. ..No change.

Please remedy this issue so we can continue enjoying what used to be a fantastic app! Would love to come back and change my review to 5 stars.

Brilliant

Somebody turn this into an iPad app ASAP! This is an essential website for me and its extremely irritating not being able to access it directly. It'd be better if it included the details that you would see on a regular browser (such as hair type skin type etc) and also be able to access/edit/delete your reviews.

Could be a little more user-friendly...

I love this website, but the app is a little hard to navigate through, in my opinion. I don't know if I just need more time to figure it out, but I don't like how you can't access some members profiles and reviews unless you find a review they wrote on a product and then click on their member name. It's a hassle. Their are some "top reviewers" whose opinions I respect on here and I like getting their opinions on products if they've tried them. I just feel like the site in general isn't as easy to use or organized with the way this app is formatted, but its not like you need to be a genius either. It's definitely convenient to have this app and access the site so easily when I want to read up on something I want to purchase, so I def don't regret uploading this. 4 stars.

Works like a charm.. Again

Just wanted to echo what Cassandra said below. I deleted the app and redownloaded it after seeing her review and it is back to normal and working! Looks like they revamped it slightly.

If you're still having problems with the app not working, just delete and install again. I use this solely for the makeup reviews and not for the message boards; for that purpose, I love this app and use it often.
