My Maybelline Favorites


S and I are both suckers when it comes to Maybelline products, and I'm pretty sure one day we'll end up having bought everything by them. These are some of their makeup that I absolutely love.



(From left to right)
 1. Line Express Eyeliner: This is a great liner, and I love that it came with a smudger! It blends very easily and applies very smoothly so it's very good on the go. ( $6.99 at CVS)

2. Volum'Express Falsies Mascara: I had to add this in, although I am kind of on the fence about it. It is very useful to me that it has a curved wand for better application as my lashes are very short and straight. I am on my second tube however (which must mean I like it, right?), but I made the mistake of buying waterproof and it is so hard to take off! Eh, next time I'll probably try a different mascara. ($7.50 at CVS)

3. Expertwear Single Eyeshadows: I LOVE these eyeshadows omg! They are very pigmented and long lasting. The colors are great too. The ones shown above are Golden Halo and Copper Glaze, and they're so pretty! ($3.75 at Rite Aid)

4. Baby Lips in Grape Vine: It's an awesome tinted lip balm, providing moisture and adding the perfect hint of color! There is a slight smell, obviously of grapes, and at first I was scared to buy it because the color of the balm stick was purple. It comes off as a very nice plum on the lips though, so I was happy. ($3.99 at Ulta)

5. Dream Fresh BB Cream: I had to go pick one of these up after all the BB cream hype. I really do like it, because it gives me a sheer coverage that's not too cakey or anything. But after wearing it for a day, I realized that it broke me out. Everywhere. I got the shade Medium/Deep, but it's really too dark on me because like an idiot I bought it when I had a summer tan going on, especially during a heat wave. So I'm going to have to switch to a lighter shade once the warm weather is over. It's really a tinted moisturizer and not much else, no matter how much it boasts and is really nothing like the Asian BB creams (which I gotta try out), or so I hear. ($8.99 at Rite Aid)

So what do you think of these products?
