Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid

Hey everyone!

I can’t ever get enough of lipstick – especially liquid lipstick. There’s no limitation on it, there’s nothing such as ‘I have enough makeup’ because enough is never enough #swag #nope. I have tons of lipstick because I’m such a fool and I have no self-control…and I hate myself. Just kidding, I love makeup.

Recently (or recently in Indonesia), Maybelline came out with a new liquid lipstick called Vivid Matte Liquid. Actually I wasn’t planning in buying it, but because it was a free (which was buy 2 get 1), I purchased it. I have such a mixed feeling about this – let’s check it out.

Packaging

The packaging is beautiful. The black cap complements well with the rest of the packaging. In the bottom of the packaging, the shape is like the shape of a lipstick which is kind of cute. The applicator is as always – doe foot applicator. I don’t find any problem with the applicator which is good too. After I did some research, I just knew that this is the same product as velvet matte lipstick like the one in the US. Asian version has a different packaging as the US but they are the same product! Here are the differences.

US Version

Asian Version

Shades

I’m on the shade Mat 12. I guess they only have numbers and not name on it. The color is kind of nude-brown color which is totally my kind of color. It’s wearable for everyday and natural makeup. I think it’s also perfect on every skin tone because the color is just a basic color.

Review

I have kind of mixed feelings with this product. I know they said it’s vivid which is the kind of velvet, but they claimed it to be matte liquid which I don’t find it true. When I purchased it, I knew that it will be kind of satin liquid lipstick which is creamy, transfer, and not really long-lasting. But surprisingly, it’s not satin yet it’s also not matte. Do you know what I mean? It’s in the middle of satin and matte. Because when you applied it, it does not set as satin (creamy) yet it doesn’t set as matte (dry). It’s just in the between creamy and matte which is kind of confusing, huh? Lol. It felt as if it’s trying to be matte but it doesn’t reach in the matte ‘category’. It does transfer but it’s not too satin as I expected.

Okay, let’s just narrow it down, shall we?

Pros:

I love the finish which is not too satin.

It does not crack or drying your lips

Color is really pretty. They have quite big range of colors.

Cons:

It transfers, which is annoying to me. But it does not say it will not transfer, so…

You feel like you’re wearing lipstick

Conclusion

Overall, I don’t feel anything special with this product. I mean it’s not bad, but it’s not special either. I feel that there are tons of liquid lipsticks that just the same as this one and I feel that Maybelline lipsticks are all the same texture as this one. But it’s cheap, it does not hurt at all if you want to have this. It’s also travel-friendly because it’s small which makes you easier to re-touch.

Thank you for reading!

Maybelline Color Tattoo

Hello lovelies!

Even though I am not really a fan of eye shadow, I really want to try so many beautiful eye shadows on the market. Looking at the beauty guru on the YouTube really made me craving for eye shadow because they are just too wonderful!

There are many types of eye shadow on the market. We have glitter eye shadow which is mostly they are put in the little jar. We also have eye shadow palette like usual. Also, we have cream eye shadow which is put in the little pot. Today, we are gonna talk about Maybelline Color Tattoo!

Many people are talking about this product because of their quality. They came in many colors and mine is in the shade Bad to the Bronze. It is a glittery dark brown which looks really good on the eyelid. Some people said that this eye shadows are dupe for the Mac Paint Pot.

This product claims:

“Our ink technology creates super-saturated color. Cream gel smoothes on for vibrant color that does not fade. Ophthalmologist tested. Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearer.”

Ingredients:

Cyclopentasiloxane, Isododecane, Polypropylsilsesquioxane, Ceresin, Cyclohexasiloxane, Caprylyl Methicone, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Alumina, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Cyclomethicone, Propylene Carbonate, Candelilla Cera / Candelilla Wax / Cire De Candelilla, Caprylyl Glycol, C30-45 Alkyldimethylsilyl Polypropylsilsesquioxane, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Silica, Polyethylene Terephthalate, Tin Oxide, Acrylates Copolymer, Paraffin. May Contain: Mica, CI 77891 / Titanium Dioxide, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499 / Iron Oxides, CI 77007 / Ultramarines, CI 19140 / Yellow 5 Lake, CI 16035 / Red 40 Lake, CI 77000 / Aluminum Powder, CI 77510 / Ferric Ferrocyanide, CI 75470 / Carmine, CI 42090 / Blue 1 Lake, CI 77400 / Bronze Powder, CI 77288 / Chromium Oxide Greens, CI 77289 / Chromium Hydroxide Green, CI 77742 / Manganese Violet, CI 77400 / Copper Powder, CI 77163 / Bismuth Oxychloride, CI 77510 / Ferric Ammonium Ferrocyanide

For me, this cream eye shadow is really good. The color is really pigmented and strong. It is also creamy so the application is really smooth. I think it will be best for oily eyelid people because cream eye shadow tend to stick more on it. The best application for this cream eye shadow is using your fingers. I have tried others method to apply this eye shadow but nothing beats your own fingers. If you use your fingers, the color will really shows and pigmented. This eye shadow is also long lasting and does not crease on you.

To sum up, my opinions on Maybelline Color Tattoo ♥

Pros:

- Really pigmented

- The color is super pretty

- Long lasting

- Creamy and smooth

Maybe exaggerating but I have not find any negative thing or opinion for this cream eye shadow. You definitely should try it yourself!

Maybelline Super BB Cushion

Hello everyone!

Do you know that lately people are obsessed with makeup that gives you such a dewy and healthy-looking skin? If we take a look at 2015-2016, do you have any idea what is really happening in the makeup market? Yes, it is Highlighter & BB Cushion.

What is BB Cushion?

BB Cushion is actually kind of like BB Cream that is put into a container along with other ingredients in it. Inside the container, you have a sponge that has the bb cream inside it. I’m not sure where is this come from or created, but the thing that I know is that BB Cushion is originated from Korea (or at least I saw Korean using it for really long time) before other western brand like Maybelline, L’Oreal, and many other brand decided to create it too.

So, today we are talking about Maybelline Super BB Cushion!

This product claims:

·         SPF 29/ PA+++

·         High coverage and yet still moisturizing

·         It contains correcting minerals and moisturizing essence

·         Flawless-perfect skin look is just a tap-tap away

Ingredients:

Aqua/Water, Methyl Trimethicone, Dimethicone, Ethylhexyl, Methoxycinnamate, Titanium Dioxide, Ethylhexyl, Salicylate, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Lauryl PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethy Dimethicone, Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone, Pentylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Trisiloxane, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Magnesium Sulfate, Acrylates/Stearyl, Acrylate/Dimethycone, Methacrylate, Copolymer, Phenoxyethanol, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Lauroyl Lysine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Polyhydroxystearic acid, Stearic Acid, Alumina, Triethoxycapryllysilane, Letichin, Isopropyl Myristate, Isostearic Acid, Ethylexyl Palmitate, Adenosine, Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate, Disodium Edta, (+/- MAY CONTAIN, CI 77891 / Titanium Dioxide, CI 77491, CI 77492, Ci 77499 / Iron Oxides, Mica, CI 77163 / Bismuth Oxychloride)

(Sorry if there is one or two misspelled word or typo, I wrote it myself, lol *cry*)

Actually when I first bought it, I never heard any news or any makeup review about this. I was in the mall and I looked for a nice foundation because it has been a long time since I bought one. Then, I saw this beautiful packaging sit nicely in the display. At first, I was unsure to buy that since it is not that cheap, but I decided to give it a try since I read Glycerin is on the ingredient. Basically, Glycerin is something that will give your skin such a hydrated look and moist feeling. It will stick into your face and it will last long on your face. If I have to say one of the famous brands that have Glycerin in it is Nivea After Shave Balm. If you all familiar with it, it was booming because one of Beauty Guru, NikkieTutorial used it. It has Glycerin in it that makes your face look dewy and it will stick into your face like glue.

Anyway, back to topic, my skin is combination type. It is dry around my mouth and cheeks but it is oily around my T-Zone. I decided to buy it because I have been curious with BB Cushion.  When I opened it up, I was amazed by the beautiful packaging.

It has the silver packaging with the white under it. I don’t know, it looks really elegant, isn’t it? When I opened it up, I just cannot say anything hahaha. It is beautiful!

I don’t know why lol maybe I have some of mental obsession to the makeup. I just amazed on the beauty of their packaging, their product inside, I don’t know, don’t ask me about it. It.is.just.stunning!

Anyway, I got shade number 2 which is Light. I guess it only has 2 shades which are Light and Natural. 

After a little war with myself because I don’t want to ruin the beautiful packaging, I decided to use it. When I first applied it, I was amazed on their high coverage! Well, maybe it’s not like super high coverage but it hides my dark circle and blemishes super well. I like the feeling of putting it in using the sponge that they gives because it just soft and glides smoothly.

This is my face before use any of the BB Cushion. You can see I have lots of redness going on in my cheeks.

It is the result after using it. Yes, you can still see some redness in my cheeks but it covers pretty well. The dark circle under my eyes covered pretty well too, I must say that this Bb Cushion covers my under eye better than my concealer. 

I’m not sure you can see it or not, but the finishing of this cushion is really dewy. You can see your face is glowing and looking healthy. For super dry skin people, or someone who like dewy finish, you can just go with it without setting it with powder, it will be wonderful! But if you are someone like me, who doesn’t like feeling oily and sticky, then you can set it with powder. I can say that both are working beautiful and amazing too. I can say that this product is good for both of the skin type.

Then, this is my face after powder, bronzer, blush, and highlighter and all of that stuff. I can say that I am really impressed and happy with this product. It is a bit pricey (at least for me) but this works beautiful and nice!

Application:

Inside the Cushion you will get a sponge kind of powder sponge inside it. At first I thought I would not like it because it looks like ordinary powder sponge. But it is not! It works really great and it can give you what the product should do. It gives you high coverage with the dewy finish. I tried to use brush to apply it, but it does not give you such a coverage that this product can gives you. I tried to use Beauty Blender/Beauty Sponge, but still, it works better than the brush but the sponge that comes in packaging can gives you the best result of all. It is my first time to love a sponge that comes in the packaging. This sponge is magic!
