Maybelline Colorsensational Lip Gloss Hooked on Pink Review, Swatches

I am reviewing the shade 065 Hooked on Pink…The other shades available are:

  • Pink Perfection
  • Raspberry Sorbet
  • Sugared Honey
  • Touch of Toffee
  • Born With It
  • Plum-Tastic
  • Sandstone Shimmer
  • Broadway Bronze
  • Mocha Glaze
  • Cranberry Cocktail
  • Wine all Mine
MRP: Rs 250/-

Hooked on Pink is a dark deep pink with little multi colored shimmer..All these glosses have shimmer..They have a doe feet applicator which is easy to use.. They are not sticky and thats their best part.
Pros:
1. These are densely packed colors and are very opaque..so would work well even on pigmented lips.
2. Not sticky.
3. Normal doe feet applicator.
4. Economically priced.
5. Slim square packaging which I kind of liked 🙂
6. Various shades from pinks to reds to wines to browns to bronze.
7. Stay for 2-3 hours..decent enough for a gloss.
8. They have a nice sweet smell.
9. Give a little cooling effect on the lips like peppermint. 
Cons:
1. No peachy or coral shade..more shades should have been in this range.

I overall love these…they are very nice and economical glosses..waiting for more shades..;)

Maybelline Colossal Kajal Review

Uncategorized, , , ,
I got this kajal after hearing lots of ppl raving about it..Its a twist up mechanical pencil..and is nice dark black.

It claims to have
Mega Intensity + Mega Wear for 6 hours which equals to Colossal Striking Eyes

Well it has lot of product in it..and would last me a long time..

MRP: Rs 150/-

Shelf life: 24 months

This is how it looks on my eyes

Pros:

1. Its nice dark black.
2. Glides on nicely and is super soft.
3. Reasonably priced.
4. Does not spread or smudge much or give racoon eyes like a few herbal kajals.
5. I liked the yellow packaging.
6. It does not go away completely leaving your eyes bare..and there is a hint of it till the time you remove it.

Cons:

1. Claim of 6 hours staying power is wrong…it hardly stays for 2 hours.
2. It does get collected at the corners.
3. When I got wet in rain..it smudged too and gave me racoon eyes 🙁 So basically not meant for the rainy season.
4. No Ingredients mentioned…dont know what the 5 caring ingredients are :/

Maybelline Colossal Volume Express Waterproof Mascara Review

Makeup, Mascara, Maybelline, Reviews, , , , ,
Maybelline Colossal Volume Express Waterproof Mascara Review
Now this is the most coveted drugstore mascara..it comes in both normal and waterproof version.
I chose the waterproof coz its much better in the humid climate of Mumbai…plus it can be used in monsoons too..and the normal ones would give you raccoon eyes otherwise.

What the Company claims:
Waterproof mascara
Upto 7x more volume
Instantly in just one coat
Dramatic volume with no clumps
Patented MegaBrush + Collagen formula plump lashes one by one

How to use: Sweep brush upwards from root to tip to plump individual lashes and achieve dramatic volume. Continue building lashes until you reach your desired look. Do not let dry between coats. Repeat for lower lash line.

MRP: Rs .260/- for 10 ml. Use within 6 months of opening.

It comes in a big fat yellow tube..and the brush is indeed nice..it does give volume to the lashes and opens them up.

Pros:

1. Gives volume to lashes and opens them up.
2. It is waterproof and stays all day.
3. Does not clump upto 2 coats.
4. Packaging is nice.
5. Economical compared to other mascaras.
6. I quite liked the brush.

Cons:

1. Does not add volume 7 times as claimed !!
2. The brush being thick has more chances of spreading around while applying..so it has to be used carefully especially at the inner corners and lower lashes.
3. Being waterproof…you would need a good makeup remover to remove this…olive oil works for me.

Overall I quite like this..the mascara which works and is economical. Surely recommended.

Maybelline Chai Latte Quad Review, Swatches

Maybelline Chai Latte Quad Review, Swatches

Now there were some pending reviews which I had to do from a long long time..Maybelline products are few of them..

This quad is the most versatile quad I have seen….its perfect for both formal and casual wear..and I think its a must have for all..Though now they have come up with New Expert eyes quad in 14 different combinations and a different packaging and shades and it has a green too..but at the same price..check them out here

They have given instructions at the back for different types of looks.

MRP: Rs. 240/- for 4.8 g

All the colors have lid,crease,etc written on them..but I do no advice using the shimmery copper color on crease..it wont look good…

The lid color is a matte light brown.
The outer V is a matte dark chocolate brown.
The brow bone color is a beige with slight silver shimmer.
The crease is a coppery  shimmery bronze.

These swatches are without a base..the crease and outer corner colors are pigmented..the lid and brow bone do not show up much without a base..

Pros:

1. The colors are nice and versatile.
2. Economical and quite a lot of product..so would last long.
3. Stay on for 3-4 hours without a base.
4. Has a mix of matte and shimmery shades.
5. Easy to carry around.
6. The coppery crease color is good for Indian wear and rest good for casual and formal wear.
7. The crease and outer corner colors are decently pigmented.
8. The outer corner shade works for filling in brows too.

Cons:

1. The lid and brow bone color are not so pigmented…they don’t show up well without base.
2. The applicators are of no use.

There are other quads in these like Time for Wine, Emerald Smokes, etc..but I guess the 14 different combos in the new quads are much better..lot to choose from !!

This quad is surely recommended..quite versatile and perfect for everyday.

3. No names on the pencils…though there are colored tips at the bottom..but in case we talk about green..there are 3 greens in this range..and its difficult to identify which.

Maybelline Unstoppable Eye Liner Review,Espresso Swatches

I got the Maybelline Unstoppable liner is espresso..its a chocolate brown color…and in a twist up form.

What the Company claims:

  • Smudge-proof, stay-put, waterproof formula won’t budge until you want it to.
  • Self-sharpening packaging swivels up and down so point is always sharp and ready to define.
  • Safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers, ophthalmologist-tested.
Directions for use : Apply along your lash line from the inner to the outer corners. Removes easily with Expert Eyes® Moisturizing Eye Makeup Remover.
MRP: Rs. 230/- for the brown (espresso) one and 240/- for the black (onyx) one. And the site shows 4 more colors..jade, sapphire, pewter, cinnabar. I don’t know why the difference in prices.

Pros:
1. The color is a pretty brown..and perfect for days when you dont want to use the same old black 😉
2. It stays put for quiet a long time…around 6-7 hours on the upper lashline and 4-5 hours on lower lashline too.
3. Its waterline safe and does not irritate eyes at all.
4. Its a mechanical pencil…so sharpening it properly would be a problem..but you can see the amount of product     you get…I love twist up pencils for that.
5. Economical.
6. The cap is brown so you can see the color.
7. Does not smudge much.
8. A thick line and bit of smudging with fingers gives a nice smokey effect.
9. Perfect base for brown eye makeup. 
Cons:
1.Its not very smooth and does not glide on easily..it tugs a bit.
2. People who prefer pencils as they like to sharp it for hygienic reasons may not prefer it.
