Happy Now??? Goooooooood :)

So, I'm  back with my 2nd Review.. After such a long time... Read my first, A magic revealed, HERE :)

As you all know by now that I don't use make-up!! why? Firstly, I don't like it on my skin! Secondly, I don't know how to wear it:P .. and Lastly, I don't like it on my skin!!
But anyways, I had to purchase them due to The Big Fat Indian Wedding! Remember?:)

So these are the 3 eyeliners I bought from Maybelline and one Foundation whose review I'll do later ...
Moving on,





You know the tagline of Maybelline?? "Maybe she is born with it, maybe it's Maybelline" 


I bought 2 colors intially, Pink Pearl and Violet Pearl.. I loved them so much that I bought Gold too :D

The Range: Maybelline Vivid & Smooth.

What they say?

  • Vivid color & Smooth Application ensure that eyes will never be dull again.
  • Available in 12 stunning shades to match your every mood!
  • So easy to apply, you can now be your own makeup artist.
Expert tip: Apply along your lash-line from the inner to the outer corners.


Purchased from: Lifestyle, Great India Place at 15% discount



Shelf life: My eyeliner says, use before 10/13 .. I bought it in January, so it is approximately 2 years!


What I personally like about the eyeliner:

  • Smooooooooooth and easy to glide-on
  • Smudge-proof and water-resistant
  • Gives a nice shade on one glide.
  • Has various color options, Bordeaux pearl, Violet Pearl, Olive, Pink pearl, Lavender pearl, Gold, Metallic silver, Peacock green, Ocean blue and Ice blue
  • Affordable and easily available
  • Cheaper than other available brands like Revlon, Lakme, Chambor etc.

What I dislike about the eyeliner:
  • All the colors you see, are really light!!! You have to apply 2-3 times to make it slightly darker!
That's it for me :)

Price: M.R.P. INR 200 ... After discount, INR 170

My Favorite color: It has to be Violet Pearl since it is darker and is visible on my skin!!!

Swatches: Shown below!



Left: Pink Pearl and Lavender Pearl, Right: Gold .. Gold is very very light- All One Glide!

My verdict:
.
..
...
....
.....
I Love it!! It is simple and looks sober on eyes :)

Will I buy it again?
I don't think so.Unless someone instills a make-up streak in me! ;) Else I Highly Recommend it to girls who want a simple, day-to-day wear/evening look :)

My Rating:
4.90/5.0 (Deducted rating due to lightness upon applicability!)

I hope you liked my Review.. I promise to improve in future :)

  8. Oh my goodness! Are you okay? isn't that pretty dangerous to have some chemical splashed into your eye?? Please do wear safety goggles next time hun...
    I haven't seen these liners here as yet, but they do look really great and subtle. I love the gold colour and the blue one, it seems easy to glide on without making a mistake. Good and thorough review. I hope you feel better!

  9. Lovely review!! :) Yeah such colors are useful only in parties or something!! I have dark blue shade but the brand is VOV! Eye-pencils are good! <3<3 I have just started using some make-up. :P Basic shades on my lips and some eye make-up. Nothing over the top though! :P Just 7 more to go girl!! :) I wish you get all the 7 and more ASAP!! :) Waiting eagerly for your contest! The Grand One! :)) :*

    Xoxo.

  10. Nice :)
    I use Kohl liners pretty often, except that I'm not too fond of brighter shades like purple and pinks and usually go to deeper shades.

    So much easier to use than powder! :)

  12. Hi dear,
    I don't leave home without makeup, but I don't use Maybelline's products. These products are PETA's blacklist and I'm a vegetarian.
