Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Foundation is the liquid version of Maybelline’s Bare Escentuals-esque mineral powder foundation. I tried it in Light Beige, and I have to say that the shade bordered on orange-y. Who’s heard of an orangey beige? Not me.
This SPF 18 foundation offers an on-the-fence type of coverage, definitely not sheer and [...]

The mineral makeup craze is booming! Let’s try out the new rating system on Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Concealer.
coverage: 5/5
For a drugstore product, I was impressed. This baby blotted out my dark undereye circles with the greatest of ease!
texture: 3/5
While it was thick and matte, the finish wasn’t amazing and was almost grainy-looking. [...]

I got Maybelline’s new Define-A-Lash in #601 Very Black and I’m trying a new makeup rating system for mascaras, so check it out:
lengthening: 5/5
Wow! Define-A-Lash made my eyelashes look a half-inch longer.
separating: 4/5
My lashes were well-defined, but the mascara didn’t find all of them. Try this instead: L’Oreal Paris Telescopic Mascara
curling: 5/5
An unexpected [...]

It’s tough to find a great blush, and tougher to find one that looks natural on you. I got lucky and found one that flatters the bejeezus out of me for seven dollars. Maybelline Dream Mousse is a long-lasting creme blush that feels soft to apply and blends seamlessly into skin with a subtle glowy [...]

I got a Maybelline coupon from CVS, so I decided to try out the new XXL Curl Power mascara. It’s one of those double-sided numbers: one end is used to prime the lashes, and the other is your typical mascara. I have a theory that mascaras with the white primer for “volume” are psychological [...]

I often find regular powder eyeshadows too easily smudged, so I’m attracted to products like this with alternative application methods. I purchased Maybelline Shadow Stylist in both Contemporary White and Romantic Pink (blushy shades are supposed to highlight blue eyes well). Both colors are nice and intense. The “loose powder” part of the description doesn’t [...]

Even though I just turned 22 and am not remotely in need of age-defying makeup, I decided to give Maybelline’s Age Rewind foundation in Nude Light #4 a shot in search of something with nice coverage at the drugstore. I’ve tried far too many filmy Covergirl foundations in the past, so I rarely pick up [...]

I really hate “extended wear” lipcolor in general. I, like most women, have tried to pull off red lip color with this technique in the hopes that an hour later, more will be on my lips than my teeth. Sadly, the result usually involves the color flaking and me rubbing it off my lips all [...]

I’m a liquid eyeliner addict, so I’ve pretty much tried everything. This is one that can always be found in my makeup drawer, but I won’t say it’s the best. Maybelline Ultra-Liner is a liquid eyeliner that has one amazing feature – it is pretty insanely waterproof. I mean really. Jump in the pool, [...]

Let’s face it: all drugstore cosmetics girls love Maybelline. So today I’m reviewing Maybelline shiny-licious lip gloss. I own two shades of this, #40, “lolly pink” and #90, “melon ball“. I enjoy the pink the most – it looks natural but still shiny. While it doesn’t feel sticky on your lips, it will if [...]
