Maybelline Eye Studio Quads - Legenday Lilac Review

I really like Maybelline eyeshadows, so I bought the Maybelline Eye Studio Quad in Legendary Lilac. I love purples and pinks, so I chose this quad which has beautiful colors.

Working from left to right of the palette, the first shade is for the base- its a really light white with pink in it, the second shade is for the lid a beautiful pink colour, the third is to contour the crease - a gorgeous light lilac purple and the fourth is to define and line the eye - a deep purple colour. The formula is a beautiful silky, creamy blend. The texture is soft, making it easy to blend the colors.



The colors in this Legendary Lilac pallette are a lighter color on, then what they look like in the pallette, which was a shame. But you can mix and match them however you like. There is a guide on the back of the pallette on how to apply the colours. These colours are shimmery as well, so if you dont like shimmery eyeshadow then this may not be for you. The shimmers are only noticeable depending on the lighting.

Overall a great product, and there are a few great shades to choose from. They retail for $16.95aud

Maybelline Shinesensational Lipgloss Review

I recently bought some Maybelline Shinesensational Lipglosses that were released in July 2010 in Australia. I grabbed two of them the first one is number 40 Berry Bella and the second one was number 10 freshly sliced.

As the names suggest they are based on flavors and have a beautiful smell to them which makes them unique and special!

The Berry Bella (40) does have a subtle berry smell and the Freshly Sliced (10) has a fresh watermelony smell. Delicious! (not that you would eat them of course!!!) They have a few in the range to choose from, some shimmery ones too.

The packaging is cute with the gold letters and fresh fruit pictures, very appealing. Great size to have to put in your pocket, bag, car, anywhere really. The tube is easy to squeeze to get the product out.

They are a sheer lipgloss, so there is not much color payoff, but are a shiny lipgloss. They are great over a lipstick as it will bring the color to shine. But if your after a lipgloss that has some color payoff then this is not the one. This feels great when you apply it, smooth and soft application and your lips feel texturised and smooth.

Overall a great lipgloss to have for a shiny lipgloss finish. They retail for $10.95 available in most department stores in Australia.  I have a video review of these lipglosses on my You Tube Channel http://www.youtube.com/user/DanniiBeauty

Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush review

I bought the Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush in soft plum (40) and love it. It is a gorgeous, deep pink color.
It is a whipped formula which glides on really smooth and blends easily.

It feels so soft and comfortable on the skin. It has a great texture to it, nice and fluffy.
You can build up the color,  but you dont need much, just a dab or two to create a soft luminous look. 

There is some shimmer in this blush, but I think it doesn't show that much just adds a glow to the cheeks which I like. But if your not into shimmer or creamy blushes, then maybe this is not for you.

I apply it with my fingertips direct from the product, or you can also put a small amount on your hand and mix it around first and then apply. I find it to hard to apply with a brush due to the moussey texture.

I have tried other products in the dream mousse range and like them too.

Maybelline Express Finish Nailpolish review

I love buying nailpolishes and when I saw the Maybelline Express Finish 60 second nail color - I had to try it. How cool to have nail polish dry in 60 seconds.
I bought the 120 berry fast - its a beautiful just right pink color - it not too dark and not too light.
It applies very easily and thickly, and leaves no streaking, once its dried it does look thin so I apply two coats. It also does dry within a minute or two, which I like.
The product says that application lasts 5 days and its anti chipping for 5 days. I found that after 3 days one nail started to chip a tiny bit, but the rest were ok.
Overall its pretty good if you want a nailpolish that dries quickly and there are great colors to choose from too. I would buy it again.

Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow quads review

I recently bought the Maybelline Expert Wear Eye Shadow Quads in Charcoal Smokes. For a smokey look the colors look great and are easy to apply.
You can build the color by dampening the brush to give you intense color.
The quad comes with a application guide on the back showing you where to apply which color. The lighter shade onto your lid. Blend the medium shade into your crease. The lightest shade to your browbone. Blend the darkest shade into the outer corner for the finishing touch to your smokey look. There are many other colors to choose from and it retails at around $15.95.

I have uploaded a quick tutorial on the smokey eye look on my You Tube Channel HERE
