Maybelline LE Color Goes Electric Baked Blush in Golden Fuse Review and Swatches
Sorry about the slower volume of posts, guys. I’ve been trying to stay on a no-buy, as well as keep up with a large amount of stressful work. Maybelline Baked Blush in Golden Fuse ($7.49 for 0.09 oz) is a limited edition product from Maybelline’s Spring 2013 Color Goes Electric collection. I love subtle warm-toned blushes, so I had to give it a try! Maybelline Baked Blush in Golden Fuse. I applied it wet to better show the color. Golden... Read More
Maybelline Color Sensational High Shine Gloss Review and Swatches (Iced Chocolate)
Maybelline Color Sensational High Shine Gloss ($5.50-7.49 for 0.17 fl oz) launched quietly not too long ago to little fanfare. I’m not sure why, because it’s one of my favorite new releases from the drugstore. Maybelline claims this is the first wax-free lipgloss. I’m not sure what that means, to be honest, but I do know that I quite like this formula. It has a creamy and smooth texture, dense and pigmented without feeling heavy.... Read More
Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids Lipstick Review and Swatches (Neon Red)
Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids Lipstick ($5.49-7.49 for 0.15 oz) is a new line out for Spring 2013. If you love bright lipsticks and are disappointed by the rather limited selection from the drugstore, this is definitely a collection you’ll want to scope out. Bright fuschias and oranges aren’t something I’d expect from a budget brand. I’m not a huge wearer of ultra-bright lips, but I grabbed Neon Red anyway since... Read More
Maybelline Scene on the Runway Fall 2012 LE Color Tattoo Shadow Review and Swatches (Mossy Green, Gold Shimmer, and Rich Mahogany)
The Maybelline Scene on the Runway collection for Fall 2012 launched with four earth-toned LE Color Tattoo shades: Barely Beige, Mossy Green, Gold Shimmer, and Rich Mahogany. I would really like to know what was going on in the Maybelline people’s heads when they decided to make these lovely, accessible neutral shades LE, when they have a matte tangerine orange (a color I rarely see even on people who regularly wear bright eyeshadow) in their...

Maybelline Scene on the Runway Fall 2012 LE ColorSensational Lipcolor Review and Swatches (Refined Russet)
The new, limited edition Maybelline Scene on the Runway collection for Fall 2012 has been gathering a lot of attention for the new Color Tattoo eyeshadows, nail polishes, and eyeshadow quads. I picked up one of the Color Tattoos and one of the lipsticks. Maybelline ColorSensational Lipcolor ($7.49 for 0.15 oz) is Maybelline’s ‘traditional’ lipstick formula (as opposed to the sheerer, glossier High Shine formula, which I reviewed... Read More
Maybelline Summer Glow Illuminator Review and Swatches (Ray of Gold)
I don’t know why I keep trying new Maybelline pressed powders when most of them prove to be utterly disappointing, but I’m a huge sucker for highlighting/illuminating products. These illuminators are part of Maybelline’s Summer Glow collection for Summer 2012, which also includes some bronzers in pressed and Bouncy Blush form. I picked mine up at Walmart. This review is going to be short, because there isn’t much to say about... Read More
Maybelline Color Sensational High Shine Lipcolor Review and Swatches (Red Sea Shimmer)
I was at CVS today picking up some essentials and got a surprise $3 off $10 cosmetics purchase coupon from the ExtraCare machine. I grabbed one of the new Milani pressed shadows (review coming soon) and this lipstick since the bright red was calling to me. (Plus I got an additional $1 off with a tear-pad coupon on the display!) It’s my first ever Maybelline lipstick. There are five new lipstick shades in the limited edition Exotic Escape collection... Read More
Maybelline Eye Studio Color Plush Silk Eyeshadow Review and Swatches (Irresistibly Ivy)
Sorry about the lack of posts lately, guys! I’ve gotten caught up in a lot of other things and the blog has been in the back of my mind. Maybelline and I have a rocky relationship. However, I had a $1 off coupon, and I was in the mood for some new makeup, and I dug the colors in the Irresistibly Ivy palette. (I also love the fact that it and I share a name. Heh!) A lot of products in Maybelline’s line are complete crap, but the Eye Studio... Read More
Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo 24 Hour Cream Gel Shadow Review and Swatches (Tough As Taupe)
The new Color Tattoo eyeshadow range (which has one of the longest product names I’ve ever seen) has been receiving rave reviews across the board, to my deep surprise. I’ve tried a few of Maybelline’s products and was not very impressed considering how much some of them cost nowadays. ($10 for a drugstore eyeliner? Give me a break.) I’m not that much of a cream eyeshadow fan, nor am I crazy about most of the shades, so I... Read More
Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner Review and Swatches (Black)
I was quite excited when I heard this eyeliner was coming out for Spring 2012. Good pen-form liquid liners are notoriously difficult to find at lower price points, and the few reviews I saw on Google seemed to be favorable. When I saw it in a new display at CVS on my birthday, I eagerly snagged it in Black — though not without a few reservations with the $10.49 price tag. (Seriously, CVS is the worst when it comes to overinflating makeup prices.) Maybelline... Read More
