Maybelline Made For All Lipstick Review + Swatches

*purchased by me*

Few months ago, Maybelline launched Made for All lipsticks,that were tested on 50 different skin tones to be universally flattering for all. There is 7 shades in total and they retail $7.49.

First I bought Plum For Me,as this and Pink were the only one left on CVS display. 

I haven't wear it yet and was in love already.The shade was prefect. It might look plumy in the bullet but its like darker pink berry on my lips. Not whats in the bullet. It applies like a dream and it stays on through out the day. I freaking adore it so much I made another trip to CVS and found Ruby For Me and untouched Pink For Me. 

The packaging  is regular Maybelline packaging.The cap is the color of the lipstick housed inside. 

The formula  really stands true to its claim,vivid pigmentation and rich texture that feels really good on the lips. Its creamy and glides on so smoothly. 

Few of the main ingredients are: Lanolin Oil, Castor Oil,Sesame Seed Oil and Beeswax. I love how good it feels on the lips. I am really impressed with it.

Here is a closer look on the shades I bought:

* Ruby For All - a classic red that I needed it. Its beautiful bright red with cool undertones. If you look for a perfect red look no further :) If you need a warmer red get Red For Me as it looked like it had orange undertones. I don't own it and I don't think I will be getting it.I prefer cool toned reds. 

*Pink for Me - its light pink that is actually very flattering on me. And personally it looks more like mauve on me.I was looking into  Mauve For Me, but it was more like a nudy brown and tbh I don't feel like brown lipsticks look good on me. And this pink is actually beautiful and perfect for every day. 

* Plum For Me -  described as a rich medium berry. On me it looks like a pink berry. It looks more plumy in the bullet like I mention before. But the shade will look different on all, depends on your lip pigment.My bff wore it and it look so much more different on her. But over all so so pretty on both of us.

Swatches:

I am loving these and Plum For Me I been wearing for a past two weeks non stop. I adore the shade and the best is that it leaves a stain behind.So you either can add more color or just leave it like it is. 

How about you do you own any? Which shade is calling you name?

Swatches of new Maybelline 24k Nudes Eye shadow palette

When you see a new Maybelline display with new products you get them girl! 

I was actually debating should I or not grab the new 24K palette. I have other Maybelline palettes and they are ok. Nothing really special. With no offence Cover Girl Palettes are way better. But here we are reading of Spring 2017 24k Nude palette.

First off I read that Maybelline reformulated all palettes including this one. When I look at it I see that the shadows might be better, they do have the buttery look to it. 

I actually like the color selection in this palette. 12 jewel tone shadows and they are gorgeous :) btw I can't wait to grab new jewel tone Cover Girl palette! Did you see it? A IG friend form Canada posted on her ig and blog. So yeah I am excited. 

Now let get back to 24k Nude palette.  I am so off topic today. Don't judge this is my 4th blog post I am writing today. 

palette packaging is same as the other ones. And like Blushes Nudes the outer packaging is different, This one is more of tarnish gold I would say. 

On the back we have suggestion on different looks and ingredient list. 

Clear lid so you can see shades inside. Wish there was a mirror tho. It also comes with sponge applicator. 

Now the shadows :) I love the colors and how they all look inside of the palette. We have mattes, shimmers and satin. 

They do feel more buttery then previous ones. I feel like they will applies better with a sponge applicator or finger (more intense) and over a primer! make sure you use primer for better color pay off and longer lasting..  

Another thing this palette will work better if paired with others. The colors are either light or too dark. They are really dark and they all look almost same. 

Overall this is not a bad palette. but definitely  better then previous ones. 

I got my at Rite Aid it was on 40% off and i paid less than $7 

Maybelline SuperStay 24 Lip Color ~ review and swatches

*pr sample*

I got recently chosen for a new voxbox by Influenster. This time I got to try two colors from Maybelline SuperStay 24 liquid lipstick. 

I like the lipsticks that I can wear all day with no need to touch up. Maybelline SuperStay gave me just that. 

I received two shades:

* Keep up the fames ~ red

* Constant Toast ~ nude.

Both colors are gorgeous :) Personally I find myself reaching more for nude but omg that red have my heart :)

As for the formula , I like it. Red applies much better than nude one. The color is more opaque and creamy and just looks so pretty on my lips. Nude well its more sheer and it sit in my lines on my lips (you know I mean?) it does not apply same as red that for sure. Plus once it dries it gives me glowy metallic sheen to my lips which with my oily skin was no no. I mean don't get me wrong i do like metallic finish but I need to mattify my face better wen I wear one. I think Constant toast look better under a nude lip liner. I tried under In the nude by essence and I really like it. I want to see how it will look under soft berry tho :) 

what i am impressed the most is the staying power. They do last very long on my lips. First, when you apply the liquid lipstick on you need to wait for it to dry. It will get all sticky and tacky and just yuck! but wait once its dry go over with the conditioning stick. That conditioning stick/balm locks on moisture and color.  Color stayed on my lips .. lets see ... I applied it around 7:30am and I saw that the color was wearing off from the middle of my lips around 4pm. I say not bad. The formula is so lightweight you cant feel it on the lips :) Plus the stick makes your lips hydrated. I notice drying by the 3:30pm. 

I was afraid of removing them tho. When I first swatched them on the back of my hand it was soooo hard and painful to take them off...really! So I was scared that I might be difficult to take tem off the lips as well.  I used first my L'Occitane Immortelle Oil Makeup Remover and after I took my In Vitamin Micellar water and took of any excess that was left. I went off nicely without hurting my lips :)

Maybelline SuperStay 24 is indeed long wearing and smudge proof.  I did notice a tiny transfer on my mug yesterday but clearly it was nothing. I rub my finger on my lips and there was no lipstick on . Weird tho. I didn't notice any cracking or flaking. Over all I am impressed with them :) I might pick one or two more shades :) Coz I wasn't happy wit the nude I got so I might pick another one. There is 30 shades in collection so for sure I will be able to pick something up. 

If you are on the budget and you need a long wearing lightweight lipstick try maybelline superstay 24 :) They less than $10 :)

*Thanks for Influenster for sending them over for review. Just wanna state that all thought are my own :) 

September Favorites ~ It Cosmetics, Pur Cosmetics, Tah Tah Makeup, Maybelline, Cover Girl, MBA Cosmetics, Freedom and Lovely

Gosh another month has passed. Halloween and Thanksgiving are around the corner and don't even let me start on Christmas. Time to start CHristmas shopping. 

September for me was a really busy month. I been working sundays and overtime. So due to many hours of work and me being tired at the end of the day I  put on minimal makeup. Most was mascara, foundation, bronzer, highlighter and lipstick... My favorites are most of the products I used the most in that month. So let just start with it.

Was using two foundations:

IT Cosmetics CC+ and PUR Cosmetics Hydra Fluid.  CC+ have a medium coverage, Hydara Fluid have a light coverage. I use either IT Cosmetics by itself or mixed with Hydra Fluid. Yes I mix them :) At the beginning I didn't like PUR foundation. There was noncoverage and it made me look shiny after few hours. I had to use a mattifying primer then powder foundation on top to make it work,They only pro was that it was hydrating. But I found that it work good with IT CC+.  I add a bit of PUR an mix , then apply with beauty blender. I set it all with mattifying powder :)

For bronzing /contouring I was using a lot My Beauty Addicts HydraSunRays bronzer. I dont see the name though. Its a matte warm tone bronzer. It is great to warm up my face. Not so much for contouring though , well for me I like t use a cooler toned bronzers for that. But it does give a nice sun kissed look.It contains skin loving ingredients like green tea, vitamin A, C, D and B5. It is packaged in sleek black packaging. Comes with the mirror inside but no brush. Which is fine by me because I like to use my own brushes. The bronzer is lightweight, can be built up, and it suits all skin tones. The texture s silky and buttery. Applies nicely and not patchy. Thumbs up ! definitely worth checking out, click here for more info .

The blush I been using is one by Tah Tah Makeup in Allure. I recieved a while back nice package from Tah Tah Makeup, they are Charlotte, NC based company. It shows up as very light peachy pink shade.  I would say it is more of a satin finish. Give beautiful flush and wear all day. Applies nicely and feels silky soft. Tah Tah have a large selection of blushes and more. Defietly check them out.Click here to see more colors. 

My favorite highlighter in past month were golds :) One from Polish Brand Lovely and one from MBA Cosmetics. 
When I swatched I notice they look same. SO no wonder I been liking them a lot. Both are gorgeous golds and give beautiful glow. MBA Cosmetics GOlden Lights is compared to Mary Lou by The Balm. I am pretty sure that GOLD by Lovely will be a nice and affordable dupe as well. :) Both come in round packaging with twist up lid.

Now lets move on to eyes. Two mascaras I been enjoying are Cover Girl Super Sizer and Maybelline  Lash Sensational.  Both gives me a nice length and volume. My lashes really look good. Maybelline one I purchased coz of my friend.She was getting one fr herself and since there was a promo buy one get 2nd 50% off I said why not. I opened next day and been using ever since. Cover Girl was one of the prizes in a giveaway I won a while back. I like it but I dont want to use it much coz my erson is waterproof and hate hate taking it off. Take too much time. Definitely will be getting regular version soon :)

My go to eyeshadow was Tah Tah Makeup in shade Pin Up. I actually was using one more but I forgot where I put so I will show you guys later. Pin Up is a pretty coppery shade. Soft texture and nicely pigmanted. Looks gorgeous on the eye, 

Even by itself ,blends nice and it does look stunning. I will be getting more shades for sure coz I realy like them. Just let me wait for some promo :) check more here.

For my brows I been using Freedom Makeup brow pomade and gosh  love it! I did mention it before in my brow routine post so you can read more here.

 for the lips I went nude ts month and well bold too LOL. But let me show you the lippie I been using a lot last month. It is by Julie Hewett and it is in the shade Edie. First off Edie, love the name and it brings out Desperate Housewives to my mind.its a pretty pinky nude shade that goes well with anything.  It have a satin matte finish and wear nicely throughout the day. Check more in here.

My hair favorite is DAFNI straightening brush, which helped me get ready fast in the mornings. for my review check here.

Also I have t say I love The Crazy Merman Brush soap! omg it cleans my brushes really fast and they are super clean. This soap is hand made, cruelty free and vegan. The fusion of coconut and olive  oil removes makeup from synthetic brushes, leaving them soft and clean. They offer 4 scents to choose from. I have my in Lavender Basil and you guys it smells amazing. Its super easy to use :) Make sure to follow me on my IG I will do a demo soon on it :) So far the best makeup brush cleaner :)
You can get the soaps form here.

So that is for my favorites. What did you like in a past month?

2.  Urban Decay Setting Spray ~ I cant live without it, especially with this hot weather. Holds my makeup in place the whole day. Another plus is the oil control. It does keeps my face form getting 'shinny'.

3. Milani Cosmetics DOLCI nail polish ~ liquid gold, beautiful summery polish. It gives a nice sun kissed glow to you nails :) 

4. Loreal Paris Vintage Rose nail polish ~ gorgeous pink! As much as I don't like the sand texture, I fin myself loving this one. Plus it last long time on my nails :)

9. Physicians Formula Nude Wear Blush ~ I own so many blushes, and recently I start using them more often . Love this one When you swirl all the colors together it come out really pretty pink :) perfect if you want a softer look :)

10. MUA Mosaic Bronzer ~ perfect to add some soft tan to you skin. Its not as pigmented as it look. Definitely not good fr contouring. Like to add some just to add some color to my pale skin :)

Maybelline 'The Nudes' & 'The Blushed Nudes' Swatches + Review

The nudes are my go to palettes. Great for everyday eye look. I always find my self buying them the most. Today I want to show you my two Maybelline palettes The Nudes and The Blushed Nudes.

The Nudes ~ I bought it at Rite Aid few months back. I got it on 40% off sale. The regular price is $10.99 or $12.99. Maybelline is one of my favorite drugstore brands. I was excited to hear they were coming out with a palette! Like an actual palette that have more then 4 shades in it! I had to wait a while. Most of the girls on instagram already had it, and I could not wait to get my own. Finally after months of waiting I bought it.

First off I have never try Maybelline eye shadows so I didn’t know what to expect.

But hey! It’s Maybelline and it can’t be bad. I have never had any problems with the brand. So far every product I tried, I liked it. Now back to the palette.

It contains 12 shades: nudes, bronze and taupes. Some are more pigmented then others.

As you can see looking at the swatches the matte shades are not pigmented. The shimmers on the other hand yes.  The mattes are workable; you can build it up to achieve the look you desire. I have not yet used all the shades in the palette. There are only 4-5 I used constantly.

The back of the palette breaks down “look” into quads, trios and duos. A little cheat sheet that comes pretty handy.

Overall this palette is good.  If you like softer, kind off ‘no makeup’ looks then this palette might be for you. Me, I prefer bolder and much more pigmented shadows.

Also I don’t think it’s worth the money it cost. If you really want it, get it on sale. Don’t pay regular price for it. Hope the quality improves in the future.

The Blushes Nudes ~ Maybelline newest baby. Available at Wal-Mart for $9.99. When I first saw the picture of this palette I knew I need to have it.  

Palette comes in the same packaging as the original ‘The Nudes’ palette. But instead of black this one is washed rose golden. Again we have 12 shades: rosy, pinks and mauve taupes. The shadows are a bit dry but workable. Most of the shadows are shimmery, so if you don't like the shimmers , well this palette might not be for you. The pigmentation is a bit better then ‘The Nudes’ palette, but still they are a bit chalky. The only one matte shade in this palette have a lack of pigmentation. The rest like I said before is workable. A lot of people compare this palette to Urban Decay Naked 3. I don’t own Naked 3. As reading other blogs I say that the colors are similar to UD palette, but they are not a dead-on dupe. Plus the UD palettes have a better pigmentation, hence the price difference.

I do like this palette better then ‘The Nudes. I’m a sucker for pretty packaging and rosy shimmery shades.  Plus I like it more , because it was my Mother's Day gift from my daughter :)

Top Row

Bottom Row

I would not wear it without the primer. I used primer and no primer with them. Without the shadows fade and crease fast. With primer they do last a bit longer.
Overall they are nice palettes.
do you own them? What do you think ?
