Makeup | Maybelline colour sensational lipstick

This is actually the first ever lipstick i have bought from Maybelline.

It is pretty tacky packaging and looks as much as it cost in my opinion. The coloured lid is meant to identify with the colour of the lipstick but it just doesn't look right to me.

The lipstick (148 - summer pink) is a vibrant blue toned pink with a hint of shimmer and frost in it.

On the lips it is not that vibrant but on swatches it is (maybe it is because my lips are already  pigmented) but it makes it easy to wear during the day.

It lasts around 3 hours on my lips which isn't that bad although you really have to use lip balm as it settles into the creases of your lips (not a good look)

Overall it is a complementary colour for my skin tone but i don't think i will be buying Maybelline Lipsticks in the future, i'm afraid.

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

Yes I have finally dabbled into the BB cream faze and I must say I’m not quite impressed.  So I should probably say first of all that a BB cream is basically like a tinted moisturizer which also has other benefits thrown in.  It is originally found in Asia but the craze has brought it here.

I love the packaging as it is fresh looking (does that make sense , I mean like it is clean and crisp looking ha-ha) and the fact it had a seal on it when I opened it , I like this because then I can be sure no one else has opened it before me.  There are a selection of shades (4 I think) so I chose dark and gosh it was like opening fake tan which incidentally I never use as I’m already really tan.

Claims

1.Creates a natural glow.

2.Compliments skin-tone.

3. SPF30 UV protection.

4. Hydrates all day.

5. Blurs imperfections.

6. Oil free - non greasy.

7. Looks visibly fresh.

8. Feels fresh.

 Fortunately though it is a dream to blend as it was quite runny so it worked for me.  I liked the price (8.99) and it is good value for money in my opinion, it states that it adds a glow to your face and I have to disagree in fact it is semi matte.    It won't last very long on my skin (4 or 5 hours at most), its not very hydrating and also that it is crazy sheer so it is only for decent skin days and even then you will need extra cover such as concealer.  

The only good things are that it is oil free and contains SPF 30 but then again so do other, probably better tinted moisturizers/BB creams

Maybelline the falsies volum' express mascara

Hey honeybees :)

Sorry that i've not been here for almost 3 weeks i was on holiday to Florida which was really good.  Today i'll be reviewing maybelline 'the falsies' Volum' express mascara (£7.99)

What they say..............

Instant false glam in a tube

The Falsies Mascara delivers a false lash look; giving you a full set of voluminous, bold, fanned out lashes and the appearance of no gaps from any angle.

The Pro-Keratin and Fibre enriched formula is designed to deliver immediate results, distributing volume and visible intensity to your lashes. The patented ‘Spoon’ shaped brush helps fan lashes out.

The Falsies Mascara is designed to give the appearance of no gaps and spaces. In a wink lashes you didn’t even know you had look visibly thickened!

Packaging.........

it is purple with a teal band and lettering and its pretty big, My only problem is why its 'volum'' and not volume i mean come on maybelline one more letter won't make a difference but i guess that's just picky me.

Colours..............

As far as i know there is only black available which would be kinda annoying if you had fair eyelashes because it would look like you stuck false eyelashes on

Whats Good about it.......................

I like that the brush is curved which makes it easier to coat your lashes  ant it also curls.  its a very inky black which has a lot of pigmentation ( some blacks aren't actually black :/ ).   It gives a little bit of volume but a lot of length.

Whats bad about it............

Its dries really fast which can be a good thing but if you want to build it this could be a problem , i also find that it clumps if you apply too quickly but it brushes out easily.

Grade - C+
