Maybelline Brow Precise Pencil Review~!

Hey Guys~!

After I posted my empties products, I decided instead of getting another Anastasia Brow Wiz that I would try a new eyebrow pencil. I haven't found an eyebrow pencil that I like from the drugstore, but I decided to try and find something that I like. Today I'll be reviewing this eyebrow pencil from Maybelline. So let's start~~!

I don't really now how to review the packaging of a pencil, because it's just a pencil. I do like that there is a spooly brush on the end, like on the Anastasia pencil, because I use that brush to comb my brows into place before filling them in.

On the Maybelline website, they offer four shades, Blonde, Soft Brown, Deep Brown, and Auburn. It is good that there are multiple shades, but when buying my pencil, I really wasn't sure which one to get, because Soft Brown looked too light and Deep Brown looked too Dark. Why isn't there a medium brown~?

The shade I chose is Soft Brown, because I just hoped it would match. Here's a swatch of it . . .

I would call this more of a medium brown. But I do like how the texture is slightly creamy. However, when I do apply it on my brows, it looks greasy. Then if I blend it out with the spoily brush, the product comes off. I brush my brows super lightly, and it always does this. So I need to reapply it after doing so once, which is really annoying.

For the heck of it, I decided to swatch the Anastasia pencil next to the Maybelline one. Here's the swatch . . .

The colors are different. The Anastasia one is more a warm toned brown and the Maybelline one is darker and cool toned.

The price is pretty decent, especially compared to my Anastasia pencil. It was around $8, which is good for the quality of the product. Also I could buy two of these, for the price of my Anastasia pencil.

I do like this pencil, which surprised me a lot. I have tried another Maybelline brow pencil in the past, which I didn't like for different reasons. My only issue with this is how it applies and the sturggle I go through to apply it. I'd much rather get my Anastasia Brow Wiz then use this.

I hope you guys enjoyed this review. Let me know in the comments what some of your favorite brow products are, I love getting product recommendations from you guys. Thank you guys so much for reading and I'll see you at my next post.

Maybelline Baby Lips Two Pack Review~!

Hey Guys~!

If you've been reading my blog for a while, you would know I absolutely love the Maybelline Baby Lips. I had seven of them, but now I have nine. Yes, I bought more of them. . .don't judge me -.-" Anyways I was at a dollar store and I saw this two pack of Baby Lips. I decided to get it and since I've never owned either of these, I thought I'd review them for you. So let's start~~!

I love the packaging for the Baby Lips. It's super cute and the color schemes really suited the product.

The two colors that came in this pack were Quenched and Pink Punch. There were other duo packs at the store, but I had all the other colors except for these two.

Here are swatches of both of them. . .

Quenched is a clear lip balm and when applied gives the lips and nice shine.

Pink Punch adds a nice light bright pink tint to the lips. Both of these have really nice fruity smells too, which I really liked.

On the Maybelline website this product claims to renew lips so they become moisturized, less dry, and more supple. Because these have the same formulation as all the other Baby Lips, I can say that they definitely do all those things, if you apply it throughout the day. And what's great about them having a sheer tint is that you can apply them without a mirror and still get great results, unlike a lip stick or gloss.

I got this duo pack for $3, which is basically a steal. One Baby Lips costs around $4 so I basically got two for about a fourth of the price of one.

Packaging: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Pigmentation: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Formulation: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Moisturization: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Price: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Overall: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I still love these Baby Lips. They're great for the summer cause they add a nice wash of color without being too much for the hot weather. Also they are a great way to keep your lips moisturized and to have color without carrying a lip balm and a lip stick.

So that was my review on the Maybelline Baby Lips Duo Pack. If you want to read my other review for the Baby Lips, {click here} to check it out. Thank you guys so much for reading and I'll see you at my next post.

Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Review~!

Hey Guys~!

So I'm reviewing another new product from the drugstore. I personally have anticipated the release of this product once I heard about it. I don't own a primer, so I really wanted to try this one out instead of buying a high-end one.

The packaging is really cute and the product is in a squeeze tube, like many primers. It reminds me in packaging of Benefit's Porefessional. They have very similar color schemes, but I don't know if they are dupes since I've never tried it. All I know is that it's a much cheaper alternative.

Compared to other drugstore primers that have similar prices this one contains less product, 0.67 fl. oz., when others have 1 fl. oz. I didn't notice that till after purchasing and trying it out, so I do with it came with the standard 1 fl. oz. of product.

It its a clear gel that blends easily and it isn't sticky. On the back it claims to be fragrance free, however it smells like medicine, but when I applied it the smell faded.

Here's a before and after shot of my face. On the left is before I applied the primer and the right is with the primer on.

My pores were much smaller, but they weren't completely gone. Some were still visible. Also my skin has a much smoother texture.

I really like this primer, but there's one problem that didn't affect me but I want you guys who consider purchasing this to be aware of this.

Yes it contains Silicone. Silicone can irritate sensitive and acne prone skin. If you have either of those skin types, be careful when trying this product out. I have acne, and I did notice some redness where I applied it when I washed off my makeup.

Packaging: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Formula: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Effect: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Price: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Overall: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

It is an okay product. There are a few issues I have with the pricing of this and the slight irritation it caused. But besides that I do like it. I'll probably only use it once in a while so my skin gets used to it. 

I hope you guys found this review helpful. I'll see you at my next post.

Maybelline Color Show Polka Dots Nail Polish Review~!

Hey Guys~!

Here's the review I promised from my latest haul, {click her if you haven't check it out yet,} for this strange nail polish. It's from the Polka Dots nail polish line from Maybelline. There are a few other colors besides this one, but this was my favorite.

The packaging is very typical for nail polish, so there isn't much for me to say about it.

I applied one coat of the polish and it looked like this. . .

It's kind of sheer in the color, but there is a ton of glitter.

Here's a second coat. . .

The color is much more pigmented after the second coat, and I really like it. It reminds me of the Revlon scented nail polish in Mint Gelato. But by adding another coat, some of the glitter was dulled out. The black glitter was more grey looking and the white glitter was a light mint color.

Overall I think this polish is alright. Close up it looks kind of strange, but it's really cool to look at. It did chip easily after wearing it for two days, even though I had a top coat on over it.

I know this wasn't a too in depth review, but I wasn't quite sure what else to say. If you have any questions about this polish, ask me it in the comments down below. See you guys at my next post xo
