Maybelline Volum Express Colossal Mascara Review

I am always looking for the newest brand and styles of mascara at my local drugstore. My lash blast mascara was running almost empty so I made a trip to Walgreens.

I saw that Maybelline was having a mini sale and spotted a bright yellow/purple tube staring back at me! It was called Maybelline Volum Express The Colossal mascara. I bought the darkest shade of this mascara because I like my lashes very black. The price of this mascara was affordable at around eight dollars. When I first applied this colossal mascara to my eyes, it started to clump. I was pretty disappointed but I thought about my favorite mascara which also did that when I first opened it. I thought i'd keep using it and see if the clumping decreased. This Maybelline mascara also smelled really bad which was a turn off. It created volume for my lashes but by the end of the day it seemed to have flaked off a little. I'm not sure if i'd recommend this product to anyone but maybe it could be your new favorite, it's all about personal preference.

Maybelline Mineral Powder Foundation Review

I was looking for a great powder foundation that would not make my skin break out or get oily. I went shopping at Target one day and was browsing through the makeup isle.

I saw that Maybelline was having an awesome sale on their products so I looked closer. I saw the product Maybelline Mineral Foundation and was intrigued by the "mineral" part. It seemed like it would be natural and wouldn't hurt to try it. This mineral foundation was around $8 so I said what the heck and bought it!

As soon as I arrived home I opened the little container and the powder looked and felt like silk! It came with a small brush that was pretty hard to fan out so I threw it away. I bought an ELF brush that was wide enough to cover my face equally. When I applied it to my face it went on great; smooth and evenly. It didn't have a bad smell to it either so I thought it was a keeper. I soon realized when I looked in the light that I had bought a shade too dark for my pale skin, rats! Although I liked the Maybelline mineral foundation quality, I never went back to buy a shade lighter. I am pretty broke so that's the main reason. I am sure if it had been the right color I would of fell in love with it though. I still use this mineral powder foundation in the summer when I am tan but otherwise it just collects dust!

Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation Review

I am always on the look out for new foundation products to see if I can find a gem in the drugstore. One day I was browsing through Walgreens and saw Maybelline having a great sale so I checked out that section.

I saw the Dream Matte Mousse Foundation on the shelf which looked like a fun little container (that always drags me in hehe). I purchased this product for a reasonable price around $8 and took it home!

The first time I tried using this matte mousse foundation, it felt like silk when I touched it with my fingers. The foundation is very smooth and creamy which is a plus. I find that this Maybelline foundation is in my top 5 of foundations because it is SO blendable! The only concern I have is when you put too much of it on, then it starts to cake over. I usually put a bronzer on top of this product and it works out very well. This doesn't make my face look oily and it is the longest lasting foundation I've ever bought. I would definitely recommend this dream matte mousse foundation to anyone who is looking for a light look everyday!
