28 Days Of Kisses (Day 6 Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids 865 Fuchsia Flash) & Review

This is a new lipstick for me. It's from the Maybelline Vivid's line the has recently come out, which is a collection of extremely bright colors. Fuchsia Flash is a supper bright neon pink. The texture wasn't quite as creamy as I was expecting I found I needed two coats to get it to be that bright opaque neon. It feels nice on the lips with a glossy cream finish. I did find like with a lot of bright pinks it does stain the lips. I think it's going to be a great fun color for spring.

Maybelline 24/7 Color Tattoo Metal Review.

Cream gel eyeshadow for long-lasting shimmery metallic shades
Smooth, Bold Metallic Shades
24HR wear cream gel formula for smooth application
 Maybelline.com description. 

After hitting up some photos of swatches online the only colors that I was interested in were Inked in Pink and Electric blue. The silver and gold shades seemed really spotty and grainy glittery. 

This collection is describes as being Metallic, but the two shades that I got don't come off as metallic to me they are more of a pearl or a shimmer. The fact that they are not metallic doesn't bother me because they are still really nice shades but if your going to describe a collection as metallic they should be what you say they are.

Maybelline dream Fresh BB 8-in-1 Beauty Balm Skin Profector Review

After my disappointment with the Garnier BB cream I wanted to give another BB cream a go. I like the concept of them but with oily skin I needed something that was less greasy than The Garnier BB cream, and since Maybelline was B1G1 1/2 off at Rite Aid a few weeks ago I decided to give this one a try. 

Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer Downtown Brown Review

I was perusing the fall collections at the local drugstore and just glanced by this color at first but at a second look I had fallen in love. I'm not usually one for brown colors but this one had something special, Duochrome! Yep I'm a sucker for any nail polish with duochrome.

FOTD Pomegranate Everyday

I never thought that I would like a burgundy eyeshadow but ever since I used the Maybelline color tattoo in Pomegranate Punk it has become my new favorite go to look.  Another plus about the color is it helps blue eyes pop. Not to mention it goes well with my hair.

So far I'm loving these shadows. They are a cream shadow that set and will not budge. I do recommend working quickly with them to blend them out, the shadows will set quickly. The shadows last all day with out creasing for me which says a lot because I very oily lids and even after 14 hours no creasing. I can't imagine a need to wear shadow for 24 hours These shadows work great by themselves as all over color or as a base for other shadows.  I can't wait to try out some more colors and I think these would be a great addition to any makeup collection.

Let me start by saying I’m a sucker for purple eyeshadow, and these did not disappoint. The shadows were nicely pigmented. They have a soft and smooth texture and blended well. All of the shadows have a shimmer to them, the lightest shade on the bottom is more of a frost. I found the glitter shade interesting; it has silver and rainbow holographic glitter which looks a little drastic in the pallet but when blended out is a really pretty glitter. I like how the shadows can go from a day to night look just by adding the glitter on top of the look. I enjoy the mix of purples with a grape shade and a plum/ wine shade and the lighter shades on more of the pink side.

I’ve been looking for a while in the drugstore brands for cream shadows, and now Maybelline has a collection of cream shadows. They come in 6 different pallets each with 3 shadows.  The reason I like these is they can be used in a couple different ways. 1, they can be used as eyeshadows. 2, they can be used as a cream base to help your eyeshadows or pigments stick and intensify them. 3, they can be used as eye liners. The colors are nicely pigmented all with a shimmer to them.  The texture is nice and creamy,the colors go smoothly onto the eye, and they blend well.

List of colors

05 Flash Of Forest (Gold, Green, Brown)

10 Blue Freeze (powder blue, blue, dark silver)

15 Rose Revolution (light natural pink, dark neutral pink, brown)

20 Purple Possibilities (gold, deep purple, light purple)

25 Neutral Liaisons (light tan, med brown, dark brown)

30 Pedal To The Metal (medium tan, dark tan, silver)  

(Color names in parenthesis are my visual descriptions of the colors.)

Note: I took the picture of the makeup look after about 8 hours of wear and noticed the shadow had creased. 

I still like these a lot and think that there is a lot that can be done with them.
