The reason I chose to do Maybelline is because it is (along with CoverGirl) a brand that I use almost every single day. That means I'm very familiar with these products, and I truly believe that they are worth the money!
From left to right: Color Whisper in Pin Up Peach, Baby Lips in Cherry Me, Line Stiletto in Blackest Black, Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser in Fair, and Great Lash in Clear.
Color Whisper lipstick in Pin Up Peach: Gorgeous coral colour, more of a pink coral than orange. I love how comfortable this is on the lips! I keep forgetting to buy more, but they are definitely worth having. They feel very similar to the Revlon Lip Butters, but not as thick. This particular colour is so beautiful, and it's very easy to wear because it's not an intense colour. Great for people who are just beginning to use lipstick, and also great for everyone in general!
Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me: I can't even begin to explain how much I love these! I have another one in Peach Kiss, and they are the most comfortable and nicely pigmented tinted lip balm I have ever used. The packaging is really cute, and they can look like a lip balm, or a lipstick if you really layer on the colour. I always bring one of these with me so that after work (I work at a swimming pool), I can just put some on and I'm ready to go shopping or to a movie. It makes a makeup-free face look a little more put together and distracts people from uneven skin tone or breakouts. Definitely a must-have!
Line Stiletto Ultimate Precision Liquid Eyeliner in Blackest Black: I've always hated liquid eyeliner, I found that it was impossible to apply, the line would always be too thick, and the formula would smudge really easily. This is the ONLY liquid eyeliner that I actually like, and I love it! It's really easy to apply because of the super thin felt tip, and the formula is not overly thin so it doesn't smudge easily, and dries fast. If you are scared of trying liquid eyeliner, this is a great starter product because it is as easy as a pencil.
Great Lash mascara in Clear: I love this stuff, but not as a mascara. I actually use this as a brow gel because is works as well as any high end gel, and costs less than $10! I got this idea from Tiffany D (check out her YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrKdCadbo4eN_toHMa4-FSA ) because she swears by it, and I agree! The clear formula keeps you brow hairs from messing up the shape of your brow, and the transparency allows you to apply as much as you want without making your brows look darker (and mine are black, so I really can't afford to have darker ones with my blonde hair).
Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser in Fair: This is a treatment concealer for the eye area, made with goji berries and haloxyl. Goji berries are a natural anti-inflammatory which reduces the puffiness of undereye circles, and haloxyl reduces the signs of redness in your eye area. I bought this product also because of Tiffany D, and I really like it! The formula is thinner than a normal concealer, so it won't cake up. It also makes your eyes feel really refreshed! My only problem with this, is that I have really bad undereye circles, and this product doesn't provide enough coverage on bad days. I often have to pair it with Benefit Lemon Aid undereye corrector to really cover all of the purple tones under my eyes. However, this product always work great on my eyelids (which always look red).
