Beauty Product Reviews

Right off I can honestly say this gel eyeliner is amazing and it's worth trying out! The color is a nice dark rich black and it's so easy to put on. I can wear it all day and only get one small smudge underneath my waterline which is easy enough to just wipe away with my finger. But if you're afraid it might smear throughout the day due to heat or oily lids then just use and eye primer before use. The product doesn't clump up on the lids and it applies well to the waterline. The brush it comes with is nice for thin or thick lines, after a lot of usage though the brush gets product build up on it and I just can't seem to get it off no matter what I try, I'm not really sure what the problem is there but it's nothing I can't handle. If that might be a problem for you just try using a different eyeliner brush, whatever you prefer. The price is very affordable since this is just as good as some of the higher end brand products. It seems to always be in stock at my local walmart, so availability doesn't seem to be a problem. Overall amazing product that I will continue to use as long as maybelline makes it! I may even try out some new shades like the eggplant and brown.

I bought the clear one in the blue tube a couple months ago because I'm a sucker for the packaging, since it was cute and colorful, and it's supposed to be hydrating and moisturizing on your lips. BUT, the truth is it's not as good as everyone would like to believe. It only provides moisture for about 10 minutes after you put it on and then I can feel my lips drying out again as the product absorbs into them. Afterwards I'm left back where I'm started unless I want to keep reapplying it ever 15 minutes or so. There's also a faint smell to the product which I'm not sure whether is nice or displeasing sometimes. If your sensitive to scents I wouldn't recommend it. The upsides are that you get a decent amount of product unlike most lip balms. Unless you use it religiously you shouldn't run out of it too quickly. So overall, its decent, but it's not one of my go to lip balms. I prefer carmex or lip smackers lip balms since they tend to stay on the lips longer.
