Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo Pomegranate Punk Review, Swatches

Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo 30 Pomegranate Punk Review, Swatches

I had mentioned about their launch first HERE

Why You’ll Love It
24hr intensity. Tattoo tenacity. Dare to wear our longest-lasting shadow.
Our ink technology creates super-saturated color.
Cream gel smoothes on for vibrant color that does not fade.
In 8 shades.

Expert Tip

For a High impact look – Illuminate. With fingertips, sweep all over eye from inner corner and work outwards. For added drama, darken as desired.

MRP: Rs. 350/- for 4g

It is also a part of the Vivid Electra 2012 Collection..along with Emerald, Purple and few other shades..

It comes in a glass jar with black plastic caps..similar to MAC Paint Pots or MUFE Aqua Creams..the texture is quite creamy and smooth..and it is pigmented enough too..which can also be buildable..

On me it stayed a good 7-8 hours with very little fading even without a primer or base. It could have stayed longer but I have not worn it longer than that..These are compared to MAC Paint Pots and said to be quite a good dupe at this price..and I totally agree !

I am always late and running and such 2 minute cream shadows which are super easy to work with and stay all day long are a boon for a person like me 😀

Pomegranate Punk is a deep burgundy metallic plum with some golden shimmer..its a perfect shade for Indian wear ! It would go with almost all of your saris and dresses girls ! And its a great dupe for MUFE Aqua Cream #17

Here I have only used Maybelline Colossal Kajal on the lash line and outer corners and smudged with my finger. I love how it is so easy peasy to use !

Pros:

1. Quite pigmented.
2. Super easy to work with.
3. Stays for almost the whole day with very little fading.
4. 4g is a good qty at 350…its going to last a long time.
5. Best worked with fingers..so even if you do not have brushes, you can use it..and they also came with brushes in the first month…there might be some SA’s who would give you the brush alongwith.
6. Pomegranate Punk is a gorgeous shade which would suit our warm Indian skin tones and work with all Indian wear too.

Cons:

1. If powder eye shadows are used on top, they can only be layered..it is not possible to blend the powder with cream..gets a little messy.
2. Some shades like Bold Gold have too much shimmer..I would have preferred less..and I would love it if more neutral wearable matte shades are added..like all shades of browns, taupes, grays, etc.

Overall I have no complains as such..coz I love it too much ! Such easy to work cream shadows are God sent for me :p

I would recommend Pomegranate Punk and Bad to the Bronze to each and everyone !

Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation Honey Beige Medium 4 Review, Swatches

Why You’ll Love It
Revolutionary whipped formula provides an air – soft, perfect matte finish coverage, with a weightless feel.
Color pigments offer superior coverage.
Blends effortlessly for a soft, natural – looking, even – toned result

Expert Tip
Start by applying foundation down the center of your face first.Use just a small amount and blend it in thoroughly.Layer more if necessary to achieve the coverage you want.

MRP: Rs. 525/- for 18g

Ingredients:

Shades Available:

  • Classic Ivory Light 2
  • Nude Light 4
  • Sandy Beige Medium 1
  • Pure Beige Medium 2
  • Honey Beige Medium 4
I have the Honey Beige Medium 4 which I guess is the darkest of the shades available in India..Nude Light or Sandy Beige Medium would have been a better match..but all the shades in this range have an orangey undertone :/
This is probably their first launch and is available here from a long time..it comes in a jar packaging..a little bigger than the Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush which was launched alongwith..
Its mousse like in texture..but settles to a dry powdery finish on the skin..very little qty is to be used and blended well..if you try to layer this or use more qty, it would give a cakey look…
It gives medium coverage..and is good for those who need minimal coverage..or are ok with less coverage for everyday wear…stays well for 5-6 hours.
See the deep orangey undertone..

Pros:
1. Just a little qty is needed.
2. Feels very light on the skin.
3. Can be easily used with fingers..no brush, etc needed.
4. Travel friendly..but its a glass jar..so one has to be a little careful though.
5. Economical..and a lot of qty is offered.
6. 5 shades to choose from.
7. Stays for 5-6 hours.
Cons:
1. If layered, would look cakey and patchy.
2. Settles in fine lines and pores.
3. May look powdery on dry skin.
4. All shades have orangey undertones.
5. Unhygienic jar packaging.
Overall I have mixed views for this..not very happy with this one..I love the Dream Liquid Foundation much much more..Would recommend this if you are oily skin and need less coverage and find a good shade match..

These are Pink Lolita, Coral Flush and Rose Addict..other shades available are Cherry Kiss and Berry Crush

Care ones are Mango Pie and Anti Oxidant Berry..

Ingredients:

I like the cute packaging..though the transparent lids in the US are more cuter..but the funky colors are eye catching..the key chain ‘Pucker Up Baby’ is cute too with the holder behind.

These are the tinted ones from the Color Family..and the ones from the Care family are non tinted..

Pink Lolita gives a soft pink tint and Coral Flush a peachy coral hue..these are quite moisturising..a little waxy but not sticky..

Anti Oxidant Berry has a nice bubble gum smell which I loveee..And for Mango lovers there is Mango Pie..it would surely make you feel like eating it up 😀

Here are the swatches..

T- Pink Lolita B- Coral Flush
Anti Oxidant Berry- clear

Pros:

1. Moisturising..a little waxy but not sticky kind.
2. Gives a light natural tint.
3. Can be easily used under lipsticks..does not make the lipsticks slide or bleed.

9. Has SPF 20 and 16 in Care and Color respectively.

Cons:

1. Needs to be reapplied..would not heal very dry lips.

Overall I do like these..and also the fact that there are different tints and variants in it..I would like more in the Care family too..with all possible flavors and smells..:D

Maybelline Dream Matte Powder Review, Swatches
What the Company claims:
BEAUTIFUL MATTE PERFECTION
AIR-SOFT FEEL
MATTE FINISH

Why You’ll Love It

• Formula is jet-milled into ultra-fine particles for an air-soft, ultra-silky texture
• The suede-touch puff smoothes onto skin evenly, effortlessly, for the most beautiful matte perfection

MRP: Rs. 475/- for 9g

Shades Available:

  • Cream Light
  • Sand Medium
  • Beige Medium
  • Honey Medium
It comes in a light brown see through packaging with a slide across lower compartment which has a mirror and stores a puff..amazingly designed..it sure deserves the most well thought of compact powder title..
The powder is very finely milled and super soft..it blends into the skin easily..and does not look cakey or any obvious effect..the puff is different..made of sponge..and picks up the right qty and goes over well on the face..but it gives light coverage.
As claimed, it actually is mattifying..it gives a completely matte look..and is a boon for oily skinned girls..I generally use it on my T zone..
The shade Sand Medium is a perfect match for me..
Pros:
1. Amazingly designed..this is perfect to carry along anywhere.
2. Super finely milled powder..blends well
3. Gives a completely matte finish.
4. Four shades to choose from.
5. 9g is a lot of quantity.
Cons:
1. Dry skin may find it too matte.
Overall I would highly recommend this to oily skinned girls..this is the answer to your prayers :p For dry skinned, do check it out at the counters first..I am combination..and I use it mostly on my T zone and for touch ups and love it..

Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Airbrush Finish Foundation Review, Swatches


What the Company claims: Why You’ll Love It

Air-whipped liquid provides perfecting coverage for 100% poreless skin
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
