Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation Review

Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Airbrush Finish Foundation Review, Swatches


What the Company claims: Why You’ll Love It

Ideal for normal skin
Oil-free, fragrance-free, Dermatologist-tested, allergy-tested, non-comedogenic – won’t clog pores, safe for sensitive skin

Ingredients:

Expert Tip : Apply smoothly and evenly to your face and blend with your fingertips.

MRP: Rs. 575/- for 30ml

Shades Available:

  • 01 Porcelain Ivory Light
  • 04 Nude Light
  • 05 Medium Creamy Natural Light
  • 3.5 Nude Beige Light
  • 02 Pure Beige Medium
  • 04 Honey Beige Medium
So these are not 01 to 05 according to shades but the internal numbering amongst shades..so do not get confused with the numbers..Light has 01 to 05 and so does Medium..but these 6 shades are only available in India..
I have 04 Nude Light which is a little light for me..but not something with a stark difference..I guess the 05 Medium Creamy Natural Light would be a better fit..yet to check that out..
If I have to describe it in one word..love

It does everything what it claims..smooth even finish, high coverage, super easy to use. I just use my fingers most of the time..a small pump and I am good to go..more than enough coverage for me on everyday basis..if I have an event to attend, slight more and I get full coverage..it does cover up and minimize appearance of pores too.

It stays for 5-6 hours..but the issue is oily skin might find it a little greasy after some time..since it is rich in texture..

Pros:

1. Smooth even finish.
2. Medium to high coverage.
3. Pump is easy to use.
4. Blends nicely with fingers.
5. Coverage is buildable..so can be used according to your requirement.
6. Economical.
7. Would suit normal to dry skin and combination with some powder.

Cons:

1. Has silicones..so if you are allergic to silicones, try it at the counter first..or get sample if you can.
2. Only 2 shades for darker skin tones.
3. Pump dispensor, so not suitable for travelling.
4. Oily skin might find it a little greasy.

Overall if you are normal to dry skin and not allergic to silicones, you should definitely try this..others do check it out at the counters first..I love it..as much as Deborah Milano 24 Ore Perfect Foundation

Maybelline Colossal Volume Express Waterproof Mascara Review

Maybelline Colossal Volume Express Waterproof Mascara Review
Now this is the most coveted drugstore mascara..it comes in both normal and waterproof version.
I chose the waterproof coz its much better in the humid climate of Mumbai…plus it can be used in monsoons too..and the normal ones would give you raccoon eyes otherwise.

What the Company claims:
Waterproof mascara
Upto 7x more volume
Instantly in just one coat
Dramatic volume with no clumps
Patented MegaBrush + Collagen formula plump lashes one by one

How to use: Sweep brush upwards from root to tip to plump individual lashes and achieve dramatic volume. Continue building lashes until you reach your desired look. Do not let dry between coats. Repeat for lower lash line.

MRP: Rs .260/- for 10 ml. Use within 6 months of opening.

It comes in a big fat yellow tube..and the brush is indeed nice..it does give volume to the lashes and opens them up.

Pros:

1. Gives volume to lashes and opens them up.
2. It is waterproof and stays all day.
3. Does not clump upto 2 coats.
4. Packaging is nice.
5. Economical compared to other mascaras.
6. I quite liked the brush.

Cons:

1. Does not add volume 7 times as claimed !!
2. The brush being thick has more chances of spreading around while applying..so it has to be used carefully especially at the inner corners and lower lashes.
3. Being waterproof…you would need a good makeup remover to remove this…olive oil works for me.

Overall I quite like this..the mascara which works and is economical. Surely recommended.
