Mini Maybelline Haul <3

The loot!

Only 2 items :)
  • Water Shine Lipstick (Japan edition) in 207
  • Volum' Express Cat Eyes Mascara
Swatch!

Description of shade 207:

Pros:
  • A sweet cherry pink colour with subtle silver micro shimmers
  • Moisturizing on the lips
  • Nice glossy finish
  • Applies smoothly
  • No scent
  • Stylish packaging (I liked how the blue on the top faded to a lighter blue on the bottom of the tube. And the mirror finish of the packaging!)
  • Cheap!
Cons:
  • Poor lasting power, as with all glossy lipsticks
I love the texture of this lippie! My first ever Maybelline lippie. Hahaa.. I'm afraid I would have to get more of these... Comes in 5 other shades if I remembered correctly. And did I mention it was cheap too?!

Description of Volum' Express Cat Eyes Mascara:

Pros:
  • Waterproof, doesn't smudge on my lower lids
  • Comb brush is easy to use, separates lashes
  • Doesn't weigh down the curl
  • Pretty packaging!
  • Easy to remove unlike MM mascara
  • Cheap! Since mascara needs to be tossed every 3 months or so...
Cons:
  • Doesn't give as much volume as I hoped it would
  • Occasional clumping at the tip of my lashes
I might do a comparison review on this mascara VS my HG mascara :)

  5. @Cynthia: we don't have lash stylist here :( so i won't be able to compare those 2. will take photos of my lashes with the mascara on during the weekend :)

    @Tammy: yeah! it's a cute cherry pink! i love it <3

    @Eva: OooOOo! looking forward to your review :D try exfoilating your face before applying the skin softener, massaging it in at the same time. then while your skin is a bit damp, apply a thick layer of the mask :) i'm excited to know how it goes for you too!
