Beauty Beat with Maybelline

Makeup is a wonderful thing ain’t it?  If you have seen me without makeup, you probably asked if I was sick, believe me, I’ve gotten that a million times. I NEED makeup so I love getting to try different pieces.  Recently I tried Maybelline’s Runway Inspired look for under $25 bucks at Walmart. I had a date with my husband and two other couples so I was excited.  The pieces that I got to try were:

•  Volum’ Express The Falsies Black Drama Mascara – $4.97 (my favorite!)
• Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner Espresso – $7.94
• Expertwear Eyeshadow Quads – Sunlit Bronze – $4.97
• Color Sensational Lip Color- Pearly Pink – $5.50

Now even though I LOOOOOOOOVE makeup, I’m still very challenged with application and colors so my favorite thing about this quad kit, is that it tells you exactly where to apply each color; base, liner, lid, and crease.

My friend really likes the eyeliner.  This is very new to me and I was scared of it at first but now I’m really really liking it!  It goes on smooth but you do need to wait a second for it to dry.  It lasted much longer than my current liner too.  In fact, I still had it on the next day! LOL What type of liner do y’all use?

Mascara – It’s hard to find a good one but this was  another that my friend loves and uses and after trying it out, I do too!  I didn’t have any issues with it at all and there are some out there that make my eyes itch.  This was stayed on, made my lashes look fuller, and no clumps.

Finally we have lipstick.  I normally prefer something with a little more color to it but this was a nice color for everyday. I know that the nude type looks are in but I’m ol’ fashion I reckon.  I need color..or at least some shimmer to with such a light color of lipstick.

Overall, I liked everything but my favorites were the mascara and the liner.  I loved that the shadows had the wording on them too, I’m just not sure if I loved the shimmer of them.    Do you guys ever step out of the box and try new colors or pieces?
