MUA Hydra Plump Lipgloss and Hydra Plump XL Lip Gloss are new MUA plumping lip glosses made with hyaluronic acid, murumuru butter and peptides. Each costs £4.25 for 6ml at MUA Makeup Academy's own UK store, and both went on sale on 29 October 2026. The two glosses are sold separately, not as a boxed set, and MUA calls them new and improved versions of its earlier plumping glosses.
MUA's other launch this season is the MUA Christmas 2026 Gift Sets.
Updated 29 October 2026: Both glosses are in stock at muastore.co.uk. Superdrug lists both, but neither is available to buy online there yet.

How It Compares with Previous Releases
These are the earlier MUA plumping glosses the Hydra versions improve on:
- MUA Lipgloss - Plumping: £4.00.
- Plump XL Plumping Lipgloss: launched in June 2023 at £4.00. MUA described it as giving a warming, tingling plumping feeling.
Both new versions cost £4.25. MUA's new pages don't mention tingling, and they don't say how long the plumping effect lasts.
Where to Buy
- US: Not yet confirmed.
- UK: MUA has both, at £4.25 each: Hydra Plump Lipgloss and Hydra Plump XL Lip Gloss. Superdrug also lists the Hydra Plump Lipgloss and the Hydra Plump XL Lipgloss.
- Europe: Not yet confirmed.
- Other markets: Availability varies by region, and more international stockists may be added.

What Makes the MUA Hydra Plump Glosses Different?
- They are new and improved versions of MUA's two £4.00 plumping glosses, now priced at £4.25.
- The Hydra Plump Lipgloss has a new sheer nude pink shade with fine shimmer. The XL version shows as a sheer pale pink in MUA's swatch.
- The packaging is new: a clear tube with a peach-pink cap for Hydra Plump, and red packaging for Hydra Plump XL.
Formula and Packaging
- Hydra Plump Lipgloss: According to MUA, hyaluronic acid hydrates and plumps the lips. MUA says murumuru butter softens and protects against moisture loss, and marula oil adds moisture and antioxidants. The brand says peptides help hydrate and plump fine lines, and light-reflecting pearls make lips look smoother. It comes in a clear tube.
- Hydra Plump XL Lip Gloss: MUA lists the same key ingredients, without the light-reflecting pearls. It comes in a red tube with a metallic cap.
Other plumping glosses we've covered include the Smashbox O-Gloss pH Plumping Lip Gloss and the BUXOM Holiday Power-Full Plumping Peptide Lip Tint Shimmers. You can browse more lip launches in our makeup section.
