Maybelline Color Whisper in Lust For Blush

 Okay the final verdict is in. I LOVE THESE LIPPIES!! I bought Maybelline Color Whisper in Go Nude a few weeks ago and really liked the color, texture and formula. You can see my full review here .

 I love coupons and I love that Target lets you stack coupons! I used 2 different coupons and ended up only paying $2.50 for this! Score!! I am going to have find more coupons because I have intentions of buying every single shade they make. I am addicted.

 Once again, the formula is PERFECT. It is so lightweight and as weird as it sounds, it feels GOOD on your lips. It makes rubbing your lips together an enjoyable experience. Good golly, that sounded bad but I am serious. I love how subtle the color is too. This one is pinker than Go Nude but still lends itself to the nude family in my opinion.

 Have you tried Maybelline Color Whisper? If so, what is your favorite shade? I swear, I need them all.

Maybelline Color Whisper in Go Nude

 What is it? gel formula lipstick
 How much is it? $5.00 -$8.00

Where to buy it? Drug stores, Target ( I used a coupon and ended up paying only $3.00), Wal- Mart, Ulta

What is it supposed to do? Give you translucent color with just the right amount of shine with no heavy waxes or oils.
What does it ACTUALLY do?  It did exactly what it said it would do. My lips were shiny with a hint of color. The formula was weightless.

Overall thoughts? I really like this product. I have been wearing it daily for a week now and find it to be perfect in formula for my liking. I hate heavy lip products and sticky lip products make me go nuts. This is really a great weightless gel formula. The nude is perfect in my opinion because it is not too light. I think the price is right, especially if you get it on sale or use a coupon. They currently have 20 different shades to choose.

Maybelline Volum' Express "The Mega Plush"

I have yet to find a new mascara to love. I used to love using Loreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara
but I have grown tired of the double step application and the price tag for this mascara. I have been trying new drug store mascaras and was quite excited to try this Maybelline mascara. The gel mousse formula intrigued me. I had two coupons that I combined and ended up paying only a couple dollars for this mascara at Target.

What is it? Gel-Mousse mascara
 How much is it? $5- $8 depending on where you shop
Where to buy it? Target, Wal-Mart,Drug Stores, Grocery Stores, Ulta etc.

Naked Eye

What is it supposed to do? gel mousse mascara that gives you full lashes without being flaky or brittle.
 What does it ACTUALLY do? It applied nicely, it did give me nice coverage and made my lashes look longer but not really fuller. I applied two quick coats and there were no clumps or flakes.
 Overall thoughts?  At first I really liked this mascara but over time I have grown to dislike it. It comes in waterproof and regular formulas. I have the regular formula but this mascara is still hard to remove. I use a face wash/ makeup remover in one and I have to use a lot and spend extra time on my eyes when I use this mascara. I have also noticed if I do more than 2 coats it starts getting clumpy on the ends of my lashes. Overall it is an okay mascara but not one I would buy again.

Maybelline Volum'E Express " The Turbo" Mascara

          I really needed some new mascara but was not sure what to get. I have been using Stila Major Lash and truthfully it is too thick for my liking. I printed out a $2 off any Maybelline product at Target.com and headed to the makeup section. I browsed for quite some time. I have tried a lot of the Maybelline mascara's and have not liked them very much. I almost went for the old school pink and green tube when "The Turbo" caught my eye. The regular price for this mascara was around $6 so with my coupon I paid around $4. Bargain!!!!

                 The actual mascara is nice. Not too thick and it applied pretty good. I did a couple coats and it did get a bit clumpy at the end of my lashes. It washes off really easily which is a must have quality for me. Overall I like it, it was cheap and it does the job. It was considerably less than my Stila mascara and I like it way better.

              What is your favorite mascara? I am still on the hunt for a good everyday mascara. My favorite of all time is Loreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes but I do not use it everyday because of the two step application. Maybe I should start. I have pretty much complicated every aspect of my makeup, why not add the lashes to the mix. All the primers, bases, powders, highlighters and concealers........OH MY!!!

Maybelline Colossal Mascara

I have been trying out different mascaras lately.

I have my favorite mascara , Loreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes

but using it everyday it a bit time consuming. It is a two coat application process and 

then I do have to wash my face extra long to remove the "tubes".

So I am trying to find an awesome mascara for quick day to day looks!

 I had a coupon for Maybelline mascara so I used it on the Colossal

Volume Express. I paid around $5.00 for this.

Brainiac me did not notice I bought waterproof.

I can't hang with waterproof mascara.

AT ALL.

It annoys the hell out of me and is so hard to remove.

I really like how this applied. It went on nice and smooth. No clumps.

But it was a BITCH to remove. I use Neutrogena face wash and makeup remover

all in one and it did not TOUCH this mascara. I had to go over my eyes

with a liquid remover. Pain in the butt!!

I think I am going to return this mascara and get the non waterproof version

because I really liked how it looks applied.

Have you tried Maybelline Colossal Mascara?

If so what did you think?

What other drug store mascaras are must haves?

Falsies Mascara by Maybelline - Junky Stuff

Maybelline Falsies Mascara has made the Junky List!!

 I had a $1.00 off coupon for this mascara making the total cost around $5.00. I thought I had heard good things about this mascara so I was quite excited to try it out. Here is what the Maybelline website claims.
FALSE LASH GLAM GOES EXTRA MATTE, extremely black
300% MORE VISIBLE LASHES corner-to-corner, no gaps

 The wand was nice, the formula looked very thick and goopy though. Come to find out after buying this, most of my friends who have tried it, HATED IT. I think I imagined hearing good things about it!!

Naked Eye

Falsies Mascara applied.

I did have some clumps and issues with eyelashes sticking together but those were not the big problem with this mascara. The problem is, it takes a damn sandblaster to remove it. I normally use mascara that washes off easily with Neutrogena Face Wash/ Makeup Remover all in one. I never use a separate remover to take my makeup off. I washed my eye area two times with the Neutrogena wash and I still had very sticky lashes and raccoon eyes. I had to go back in with a very oily makeup remover and saturate my lashes and really wipe hard to get it all off and even now, after sleeping and washing my face again this morning I can feel a sticky residue

So Falsies Mascara by Maybelline most DEFINITELY is on the Junky Stuff list!
Have you tried it? If so, what did you think??

Maybelline Dream Mouse Blush and Bronzer

As you know, I am a huge fan of the

Dream Mousse foundation by Maybelline.

I also LOVE their bronzer and blush!

I just got these two at Rite Aid. All Maybelline was buy two get one free

( I also got a backup foundation).

I had this bronzer a few years ago but ran out and never picked anymore up until now.

I really like this because it goes on pretty sheer and just leaves a hint of bronze shimmer.

Sunglow

 I think it looks more natural then a powder bronzer and it is very light.

I can not STAND the feeling of most cream or gel products on my cheeks

but this one is weightless.

 Applied heavily and blended in.

Blush in Peach Satin

 I was super excited about this blush! I have been looking for this peach blush for

a few weeks but everywhere I went was out of this color.

This blush is not what I was envisioning because it goes on so sheer. 

You can hardly see it on my face.

So I am still on the look out for a good peach blush. 

It can be powder or cream BUT it must be lightweight.

HELP!!!!

Natural light

 Applied heavily and blended in.

Have you tried any of the Dream Mousse products by Maybelline?

What do you think of them?

Do you know of a blush or bronzer that is a must have??

Let me know!!
