MAYBELLINE GREAT LASH BIG MASCARA






I am not a mascara person because I have super sensitive eyelashes, any attempt of curling or making them appear beautiful results in eyelash fall (if it makes any sense).this  is actually the first mascara which has not harmed my eyelashes in any way or irritate my eyes



PRICE: pkr 450( i got it at a discount so it cost me 425)

SHADE: blackest  black

QUANTITY: 10 ml/.34 oz

What  Maybeline claims about it:

Great big brush plus volume- building formula gives great big lashes
Volume builds with each coat, no clumps no glods
Ophthalmologist tested. Contact lens safe

I got this from D-Watson  Islamabad



PACKAGING: this is the best  part. The packaging is so adorable it’s a very eye catching pink bottle with a pretty green cap. This looks so pretty standing upright on my dresser. so cute

big brush


My thoughts:

I really love this mascara. The formula is not runny but creamy and dries off fast on my eyelashes. it does not has any scent to it and is very black. It makes my eyelashes appear long and gives volume to it(not too much volume). Its perfect for every day look as it does not gives a dramatized look to the lashes. its also easily removable.water proof formulas are such a pain when it comes to remove them from the eyes. I just wash it off with soap and water, but don’t be alarmed because it does not flake off at all. The brush was big(fat) as claimed by Maybelline. I had a little trouble with it in the beginning but if you are good at applying mascara then it won’t be hard for you. The bristles on the brush prevent clumping and separate each lash so they look natural not like spider legs J.

how it looks on my eyelashes


Overall I am quite satisfied with the product and will repurchase it in future
Staying power: I wore this for 8 hours and trust me it was still there (cool right).

Lipstick review ( part 1)




Medora is one of the most used cosmetic brands in Pakistan. Almost every Pakistani female is familiar with it. It used to rule the makeup shelves when most of the Pakistani female population was unaware of brands like revelon,rimmel, etc
For the past few years Medora has some what become extinct from the makeup counter so when I spotted these in a local cosmetic shop I bought a few colors for my self immediately

PRICE:110 pkr

Packaging: it’s a golden tube with a grey cover and lid. (Not so cheap looking)



Lipsticks are available in various finishes like matte, shimmer, semi matte and I believe frost too they come in various shades too seriously when I looked at the testers I had trouble deciding which shade to pick.they have alight scent which was nt unpleasant in my opinion. these lipsticks come with both a name and a number (a word of advice if you want to buy similar shades like these then tell the sales person the no of the lipstick rather than name because most of them cant read)

Quantity: about 3.9g (it was not written on the package but I compared it with my other lipstick bullet)

Today I am reviewing three of the lipsticks two of them are matte while one  has finely crushed glitter in it

SHADE :

VERY CURRENT 252

This a very deep berry color suitable for autumn and quite wearable in winter too.it is matte and its texture is smooth. It has no shimmer or glitter particles in it

SHADE:

FLAVOUR  216

This is my favourite shade in all three lipsticks it a coraly pink nude lipsticks and gives a very natural color to the lips.i wear this shade to college. If your are a tudent or like nude pink lipsticks this one is just the right shade for you. I think this also wearable for every skin tone, this is also very creamy(my first bullet just broke off because of it). Totally love this shade



SHADE:

GLITTTER 815

This lipstick is brown in color and has finely crushed golden glitter n.the glitter is not gritty. I usually wear this shade on top of another lipstick just to give an extra bling effect to my lips looks amazing on top of red lipstick J

from L-R  glitter 815 , flavour 216 very current 252



These lipsticks can be some times feel drying on the lips so do exfoliate your lips before wearing these.they have excellent pigmentation (all of them) they stayed for like six hours on my lips and after that still left a light stain on my lips. Easily available, very affordable. Have a very vast range of shades to choose from


I will rate these 4.5 out of 5
