LIQUID LIPSTICK | Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink in Lover




Korean style
Full lip
Bathroom lighting

So... I'm not sure if I dropped my phone? Because I wiped this a few times and the front camera photo still came out kind of blurry. Idk 
But this is how the lipstick looks. It's a little dark/cool toned mauve for my taste, but most importantly this Maybelline liquid lip is really dry -_- my lips feel raw after
Natural lighting
$8+ for 0.17 oz / 5 ml

LIQUID LIP | Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink in Loyalist (Nude)





Left: Milani liquid lipstick in 10 Adorable
Right: Maybelline in Loyalist

Lip swatch
Idk if you can tell but I think it makes my lips very textured, almost too much so.
With a Jouer pink lip gloss

The wear of this product is no joke. Unfortunately, all the color are too unnatural for my taste. This nude is too light, and the other colors are too bright or too dark. The packaging is actually pretty cute, if they expanded the range I would try a different color

LIQUID LINER | Maybelline Line Stiletto



I still vaguely remember this line coming out when I was in high school (maybe early college?)
I think any product that sticks around after 2 years must have something about it. I usually enjoy liquid liners more than gel/cream or pencil, it just doesn't smudge on me if it's a good liner (however, some do, like the Wet n Wild one [review here] and the Stila liquid pen [I was so stoked to try this but it does smudge on my lower lash line, review soon]).

This Maybelline liner resembles the L'Oreal Lineur Intense felt tip, which applies color more thinly than a brush tip liner. I was looking for a brown liquid liner and my options were quite limited. This is definitely a decent liner, the application is smooth
However, it seems to rub off easily and flake a bit if you rub your eyes. Luckily, I do not rub my eyes, but my eyelash curler will touch the corner of my eyes sometimes and rub a bit of the liner off.
I do not curl my eyelashes everyday so it doesn't pose a huge problem for me

I continue to use this as I am fond of it, but the flaking might be inconvenient for some people.

Price
$6+ for 0.05 oz / 1.5 ml

After some vigorous rubbing - you can see the faint flakes

MASCARA | Maybelline the Falsies Push Up Angel Waterproof


Maybelline's description:
The Falsies effect gets angel wings! Exclusive Push-Up Wing brush sweeps lashes to the side, while lifting and plumping from the roots.


Right eye
Left eye

It's not really separating, but it does make a difference on my lashes. Unfortunately it's not super defining so it "clumps" 2-3 lashes together to make like 10 clumps. I notice it's kind of hard to find a volumnizing mascara that doesn't clump a little bit, probably why I like Maybelline Lash Sensational so much

Price
$7-10 for 0.33 oz

Would I recommend it?
Sure

Would I repurchase?
Nah

LONG WEARING LIPS | Maybelline SuperStay 24 Color


015 All Day Cherry




1 layer

2 layers after a couple hours

Price
$9+ for 2.3 ml liquid color / 1.8 g lip balm

Verdict
I really wanted a long lasting festive color. As you can kind of tell, it's a bit drying on the lips, but the lasting power is amazing! The lip balm makes the color shiny, so if you prefer the satin look you can leave the lipstick by itself, but it does look slightly dry.
Even after eating it doesn't really budge, I have to use extra makeup remover to remove it.

Repurchase?
Probably

Would I recommend it?
If you're into long wearing colors that last the whole day

MATTE LIPS | Maybelline ColorSensational Inti-Matte Nudes in Naked Coral





I'm not really a nude lip person, but I really like this nude coral color. It's natural looking but still gives your face some color.
The wear and scent is the same as any ColorSensational lipstick, review here

REVIEW | Maybelline Color Tattoo Chrome in Beige Luster




On bare lids
(my eyes went thru a sensitive phase where it would always be dry and flaky, finally better now)

Beige Luster with UD Naked 1 Hustle on top after 9 hrs

Pros
Easy to blend (as long as you do it right away)
Shimmer is not too chunky

Cons
Doe foot applicator picks up way too much product
Color appears darker in the tube (potentially misleading)
Creases with no primer

Price
$8 for 0.11 oz / 3.45 ml

Verdict
Unfortunately this isn't as crease proof as the original Color Tattoos, but the color is definitely more shiny/chrome like if you want a wash of reflective shimmer. I originally wanted to try the bronze but wasn't sure bc it looks really dark, but I probably should've gotten the bronze for some color to show on my lid. The formula is very thin and blends easily if you do it right away. Any time after it probably won't budge. It creases on my lids later in the day unfortunately, but when I wipe it with a makeup wipe it doesn't come off that easily? A little contradicting, really.

Repurchase?
A darker color for sure

Would I recommend it?
If you like shimmer shadows!

LIPS | Maybelline Glow Balm



01 My Pink
 
Bare Lips | Upon first swipe | 5 mins later


Pros
Sweet fragrance
Moisturizing
Natural looking 

Cons
Tint doesn't really change after time
Kind of settles in lip lines

Price
3.49 to 4.49 for 0.13 oz / 3.9 g

Verdict
After trying the Dior Lip Glow (review here) I kind of like these PH coloring tinted lip balms, although I don't really think the quality of the Maybelline one compares to Dior. These are a bit gimmicky, but if you like tinted lip balms this does what it says - tint your lips pink.

Repurchase?
No.

Would I recommend it?
If you like this kind of pink color

LIPSTICK | Maybelline Loaded Bolds - Gone Greige




Gone Greige | Mauve It Over


Pros
Not drying
Creamy

Cons
Gone Greige doesn't seem to apply as evenly compared to other ones in this range

Price
$6+ for 0.15 oz / 4.2 g

Verdict
I really wanted to like this color bc it's so trendy right now, but as you can tell it is NOT for my complexion. It looked more pink on Temptalia's swatches, but she is a bit darker than me.
Gone Greige has a slight odor that all the Color Sensational lipsticks seem to have, but it doesn't bother me too much.


Repurchase?
No.

Would I recommend it?
If you're tanner than I am this might look dope on you

REVIEW | Maybelline Colossal Spider Effect waterproof mascara






Closer look at the brush



If you curl your lashes right the first time, this mascara doesn't clump, good stuff

Pros
Very volumnizing

Cons
Could get clumpy
Not super lengthening

Price
$6+ for 0.32 oz / 9.5 ml

Verdict
Unfortunately, this isn't as lengthening as my holy grail Lash Sensational (review here). If you don't curl your lashes right it could get clumpy (by that I mean your lashes are all straight, not diagonal where it intersects with other lashes, as in the first lash photo). 
Otherwise it's very volumnizing, I like it!

Repurchase?
No, I will continue repurchasing the Lash Sensational.

Would I recommend it?
If you like a lot of volume and don't mind brushes your lashes out a bit.
