Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara Review, Swatch, & Photos

Rating: 6/10

Sold: Drugstores

Price: $6.99

Description: “40% less hard waxes for massive volume with a supply touch; extra-soft, patented Flexor Brush”

Review:

Pros

  • Wonderful brush! You can really position it any way you want to reach every single lash!
  • Stays very well!
  • Doesn’t smudge above or below the eye

Cons

  • Formula turned from very wet to very dry – there was no happy-medium!
  • I felt like the formula clumped my lashes together just because it wasn’t the right consistency
  • Couldn’t build up the volume or length very much
  • Too much of a “natural” looking mascara for me!

Maybelline Volum’ Express Turbo Boost Mascara Review & Photos

Rating: 7/10

Sold: Drugstores

Price: $7.77

Description: “Long-lasting waterproof turbo-boost formula and patented Anti-Clump Brush quickly thicken lashes for 5x more volume”

Review:

Pros

  • Very wet formula
  • Coats the lashes evenly, allowing them to be very rich and dark
  • Volumizes the base of the lashes
  • Makes lashes look extra thick
  • Would be great for blending in false eyelashes
  • Love the tiny brush – very easy to get to the lower lashes and outer corner lashes

Cons

  • Can clump easily – especially when first opened because the formula is so wet
  • Seems to smear above and under my eyes
  • Does not lengthen the lashes at all (although it doesn’t claim this either)

Maybelline Perpetual Peony 14 HR Lipstick Review, Swatch, & Photos

Rating: 8/10

Sold: Drugstores

Price: $7.99

Description: A light, cool pink lipstick

Review:

Pros

  • Very pretty color
  • Great for fair skintones
  • Goes on very smooth
  • Doesn’t feel extremely drying
  • Packaging is very sleek
  • Leaves a stain on the lips after it wears off

Cons

  • I wouldn’t say it lasts for 14 hours, but I think once it stains your lips it is longwearing
  • If your lips are already dry, I wouldn’t recommend this because it would probably accentuate the dryness
  • Becomes a tad bit drying after applied and left on
