MAYBELLINE BROW DRAMA SCULPTING BROW MASCARA

PACKAGING:

-COMES IN A MASCARA TUBE

-COMES WITH 0.23 FL OZ OF PRODUCT

-THE BRUSH HAS A BALL AT THE TIP AND EXTENDING STRAIGHT DOWN (I personally didn't really like the brush it reminded me of the Givenchy mascara wand that people were so crazy about a couple years ago. While the wand or brush makes sense for a mascara since the ball can reach inner corners and provide more coverage the idea using it as a brow wand is a little iffy. I find it pretty awkward to use and actually got more product on my skin than in my brows.)

FORMULATION:

With the issue of the wand/brush aside, this is a pretty decent product. I have seen tons of brow setting gels out on the drugstore market today but not many tinted ones.You can use it alone to comb through your brows or use it as a setting gel for those of you who prefer powder. The pigmentation is pretty nice and gives a very natural look.The wear time is pretty decent and usually lasts until you want to take it off unless you somehow messed with your brow hairs throughout the day. This is a very similar product to the Benefit brow gel with a little less pigmentation.

 Comes in a variety of colors (different places have different sets of color as well as names)

Rule of Thumb for finding your perfect brow shade: lighter hair colors go 2 shades darker, darker hair go 2 shades lighter

MAYBELLINE COLOR SENSATIONAL MATTE LIPSTICKS

PACKAGING:

-COMES IN THE ORIGINAL COLOR SENSATIONAL LIPSTICK SQUARE TUBE HOWEVER THE CAP IS NOW A MATTE PURPLE GRAY COLOR (The caps on these lipsticks are actually a lot more sturdy and tighter compared to the original ones.)

FORMULATION:

Matte lipsticks are a trend that never seems to age. When I saw that Maybelline came out with a line of matte lipsticks I had to get on it. The texture of these are quite interesting with most matte lipsticks out there the texture is usually pretty drying these have a creamy texture that makes it very easy to glide on. They can get a bit drying wearing throughout the day so make sure you moisturize your lips before applying. The color payoff on these are pretty decent and very wearable. The wear time without drinking or eating is about 4-6 hours depending on your temperature where you live.

Here are 2 of my favorite shades from the collection

Left: 690 Siren in Scarlet (Scarlet red)
Right: 675 Faint for Fuchsia (Fuchsia w/purple undertones)

MAYBELLINE GREAT LASH REAL IMPACT MASCARA

PACKAGING:

-COMES IN THE SAME GREAT LASH PACKAGING WITH A DIFFERENCE IN COLOR

-THE BRUSH/WAND IS ALSO THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL GREAT LASH; LONG HAIR BRUSH

FORMULATION:

I am not really a fan of the Great Lash mascaras with the exception of Lots of Lashes that one I really love. The Great Lash formulas are just too wet for my taste and don't really do much for my lashes. This one wasn't too bad. It still had that wet formula but it did give me nice length. The wear like the other ones wasn't too great. After a couple of hours it started to come off.
