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!

Revlon Nearly Naked Makeup Review, Swatch, & Photos

Rating: 8/10

Sold: Drugstores

Price: $9.99

Description: “Makeup so refreshingly light, it melts right in, creating a fresh even look. Blends seamlessly, buildable coverage.”

Review:

Pros

  • Available in 16 true to tone shades
  • Feels very light on the skin
  • Blends very easily – Personally, I use the beauty blender!
  • Leaves the skin with a natural finish – not too matte, not too dewy
  • If you have dry skin, I don’t think you would have to set it with a powder!
  • Lasts about eight hours, after setting with a powder, before it starts to seperate

Cons

  • No pump!
  • Not sure if it was just this shade, but it has a very warm undertone!
  • Very similar to L’Oreal True Match Makeup, but doesn’t last quite as long!

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)
