    Maybelline Lasting Drama Black Shock Gel Liner Review

    It seems that people have been loving and loathing the Benefit Push Up Liner in equal measure so I figured, rather than risk spending the big money on something that might not work for me I’d try the more affordable drugstore version. I’ve used the Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner (the one in the pot) before but found I’m not disciplined enough to clean the little brush after every use and let’s just say that things got a little … crusty. I absolutely loved the gel formula though so I was pretty stoked when I saw that Maybelline had come out with another gel liner – this time with the…

    Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Mascara – More Drama than it’s Worth?

    I purchased the Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Mascara about a month ago now but I’ve been wanting to rant about it from the moment I first swiped it over my brows. Now, ‘mascara’ for eyebrows is not exactly a new invention but I think the marketing for this product was particularly effective as many people have gone a bit crazy over it. I was one of them and while I won’t say it’s a complete waste of £4.99 I will say that it comes pretty close. I bought the Brow Drama in shade ‘Dark Brown’ and found that while the formula is nice, the shade isn’t really what you would…

    Maybelline Volum’ Express Mega Plush Mascara

    Maybelline are very, very good at Marketing and the latest addition to their Volum’ Express collection is no exception – A mascara called ‘Mega Plush’ is obviously going to fly off the shelves because that’s what women want from a mascara, a touch of plush and bucket loads of mega. Whatever that means. It wasn’t just the greeny-blue packaging with shiny pink writing that made me pick this up, but the promise of plushy goodness caressing my lashes rather than stiff, brittle crumbly stuff. Mega Plush mascara promises ‘Massive & Soft Volume’ and while I wouldn’t agree that this is exactly what it delivers, it does make a pretty decent…

    Maybelline The Rocket Volum Express Mascara

    I don’t know how I managed this but I actually ran out of mascara a few days ago ( nothing but a few scrapes left in my Jemma Kidd mag freebie) so I popped into Boots and picked up Maybelline’s latest offering -The Rocket Volum Express Mascara. While I find the name of this utterly hilarious and slightly irrelevant, there’s nothing funny about the product itself. It’s actually pretty awesome. I found that I only need a couple of strokes of the ‘jet glide brush with flexi-fine bristles’ to achieve long, thick, glossy lashes. Comparable to Diorshow New Look mascara, the smooth formula of the Rocket is awfully good at…
