Haul: Maybe it's Maybelline

Haul: Maybe it's Maybelline

10 Comments Edit
Not too long ago, Priceline had a half price sale on Maybelline cosmetics.

Being the frequent shopper that I am, I rushed over to my nearest store to pick up some items that I would love have a play around with. My curiosity in the product's performance partly influenced my decision in purchasing certain products. Another influence are the various reviews I've read on the "blogosphere". I ended up purchasing 15 Maybelline products which was quite astounding, since I was planning on picking up only one fifth of the total products purchased. This haul was quite enjoyable in the making;  I have my sister and best friend to thank, for helping me make the wearisome decisions - "should I get this?". I know I can be quite annoying when shopping; my decision making skills are atrocious.

(I hope you don't mind the inconsistency in the photos provided. Some of the photos taken became blurry once uploaded, so I decided to substitute a few with much better quality images from various sites).



1. Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream in Medium (2% salicylic acid and made for oily skin)
After watching Jodi's review (Goo Roo Beauty) and seeing this BB cream pop up in nearly every Maybelline haul I've encountered, I just had to have it. I rarely buy BB creams in the shade Medium, but this shade was a lot lighter than your average medium shade and it suited my skin quite perfectly for the upcoming summer months. This BB cream mattified my combination skin and made it looks flawless, thus making it the best western drugstore BB cream I've tried to date.



2. Maybelline City Rescue Total Clean! Express Eye & Lip Makeup Remover (70 mL)
Since discovering dual phase makeup removers, I've fallen in love with them. The retail price for this makeup remover was a bit expensive so I'm very pleased to purchase this on a half price discount because I've always wanted to try it.


3. Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies Mascara in 280 Blackest Black (7.5 mL)

4. Maybelline Volum' Express The Mega Plush Mascara in 271 Very Black (9 mL)
I purchased both of these mascaras because simply, I've always wanted to try these. Oh, and not to mention the positive reviews I've read!


5. Maybelline Hyper Glossy Liquid Liner
A great glossy eyeliner that draws perfect lines. Great staying power as well. I'm impressed!

6. Maybelline Eye Studio Master Precise Liquid Liner
This has quickly escalated to become one of my favourite liners! The epitome of the perfect liquid eyeliner perhaps? It ticks all the right boxes!


7. Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner in Blackest Black  (3g)
This is my first gel eyeliner so naturally I was really excited to try this out! I love this product already; a natural and dramatic look can be achieved. Love the formula and the handy brush provided! 



8. Maybelline Color Tattoo Metal Eyeshadow in 70 Barely Branded
I am so amazed with this eyeshadow's formula compared to the original Color Tattoo eyeshadows; the newer generation is much creamier. I was lucky to pick up the last one at my local Priceline; evidently it's very popular with other beauty enthusiasts.

9. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment + Concealer in Light
Personally, this product is quite expensive, so naturally I had to pick it up during the sale. Initially when I first heard of this concealer, I was concerned with the anti-aging claims pertaining to the eye area. Being only 20 years old, I wanted to avoid anti-aging products as they are unnecessary for me. However, this concealer works well to conceal dark circles, so I'm sticking with it for now.


10, 11, 12. Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquers in 160 Chiffon Chic, (Limited Edition) 825 Rose Bling and (Limited Edition) 820 Sea-Quins
I'm a nail polish girl, so it's no surprise that my willpower to resist picking up these polishes failed me. I will always welcome girly pinks and glitter polishes into my stash. The Sequins polishes are eye-catchingly gorgeous; I can't wait to try them out!


(Swatches - 25 Lust For Blush and 65 Pink Possibilities)

13, 14. Maybelline Color Whispers Lipsticks in 25 Lust For Blush and 65 Pink Possibilities
I heard these were more lightweight than the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters and curiosity got the better of me. These are perfect for those low maintenance days especially in the warmer months. The colours are sheer yet buildable - one being a nude-mauve-pink and the other an adorable pink; you can infer that I love many things pink!


15. Maybelline Baby Lips Loves Color in Pink Lolita (SPF 16, 4.5g)
I just adore this dolly pink colour and had to pick this up after having a positive experience with the Baby Lips balms.

 And that concludes my Maybelline haul! I'm going to have to put myself on a shopping ban or Project Pan soon. My makeup drawer is accumulating a lot of products at an exponential rate!

I hope you enjoyed this haul! I would love to check out your haul if you too, purchased from the sale! Feel free to link your posts in the comments section below.

So, have you tried any of the products featured?

(Have a beautiful day everyone!)

    Woah, you sure shopped up a storm! I just posted my haul actually, but I only got 2 Maybelline products. I've really been loving the BB cream too! My friends help me shop too haha, I suck at making decisions - forever um-ing and ah-ing. Usually they talk me out of making a purchase, which is probably for the best!
