Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara
Amazing mascara – Everyone always ask me what mascara I use, this make my lashes long.
Sooooo good, that I don't bother with any other product, anymore! – Being in my 50's I have used the product for around 10 years. Its changed somewhat over that time but somehow they have managed to keep the formula… Read more
mostly the same. It lasts all day (it really does), it's not greasy, does not run off my face, is thick enough to cover my freckles and the odd pimple, and allows other make up (e.g. blush) to sit on top nicely. Ive tried other foundation over the decades and I don't bother going to any other product. Its not the cheapest on the market at around $27 (from Kmart) but I don't care, I don't want them change the product and make it inferior, just for the sake of making it cheaper. Good job Maybelline!
So I don’t usually do reviews on primers but this deserves a spot! I’ve used many primers from Mecca and Sephora that are usually a paste so this was… Read more
the first serum style I used. I’m no makeup guru (I’m 32 and still do my makeup the same as I did when I was 14 minus the panda eye eyeliner) but I’ve always had bad luck with oily skin causing my makeup to slide off. My makeup usually smudges, or I get the mascara rub off on my eyelids with or without primer so I’ve never really had much luck with having “nice makeup”. Yesterday I attended a funeral and on a whim bought this primer because ugly crying without makeup just shouldn’t be a look! Funerals are not usually a time to test and try a makeup look you’ve never worn before but LET ME TELL YOU! Through all the crying and tissue wiping, and hugging my eye makeup and foundation stuck to my face like baby poo on a blanket! It held up all day without sliding or smudging and I was absolutely blown away I was even giving a shout out to the primer during a speech! If you haven’t tried it and don’t have much luck normally or suffer from oily skin like I do, this is a winner! It’s a serum consistency so it goes on smoothly and dries abit sticky which gives you the best base for makeup. I’ve had a few primers that when I’ve gone in for a quick make up touch up have blotted my existing makeup off my face and left me patchy and needing to redo my whole face especially around my mouth area. This didn’t do any of that. It didn’t crack, leave dry patches or fade at all! I drank abit to much and made the mistake of sleeping in it but guess what? Woke up 9 hours late still looking fresh faced and the makeup didn’t move! Highly recommend! You can get it for such an affordable price from chemist warehouse which made my bank account happy and I didn’t wake up feeling I was going to break out because it has niacinamide in the product. Can’t honestly rave about this product enough!! Best thing I’ve ever stumbled on! Highly highly recommend!
Maybelline Tattoo Brow
Only a tiny tip that fell off during first use so unable to test. Pitiful waste of money. Mabelline should be ashamed for producing such junk. Thought I was purchasing a propelling device. No, just 2mm tip.

effect at all. The only thing colossal about it is it's a big colossal mistake to purchase. Absolute waste of money. Threw a brand new one in the bin because it's absolute rubbish!!
It's great to wake in the mornings, look in the mirror and not see a Panda staring back. Finally! a mascara which doesn't streak with watery eyes and… Read more
is removed gently with a facial wipe without leaving any residue. I've tried numerous methods of removing Waterproof Mascara over the years without complete success but Mabeline WASHABLE Mascara has finally arrived ... YEY!
Fantastic – I absolutely love Maybelline BB cream, the consistency is ideal, it is not too runny and not too thick, it moves easily across my skin and makes it… Read more
appear smooth and clear to put a light dusting of powder over the top to set my makeup. I have been using this but lost the label, I thought I had a different brand and they’d changed the packaging so I bought 2 other brands thinking they were it but they were horrible. After doing a search of all BB creams I saw the Maybelline container and went and bought it, I swear I thought about buying a box in case they delete it, it’s so good…I’m still considering stock piling this BB Cream, it is awesome.
Smudgy mess . Yuck – Didn't like this AT ALL. when trying to apply it kept smudging on the top of my eyelid . A smudgy mess. Yuck.
Maybelline Lifter Hyrdrating Lip Gloss
Excellent non-sticky lip gloss – After reading that this was a dupe for the Fenty lip gloss, I bought this. I am very pleased that the formula is non-sticky/tacky. It seems to… Read more
nourish and moisturise my lips and provides an excellent shine/gloss. I bought this in the colours Ice (very pale sheer light pink) and in Silk (a darker pink tint). They both have a vanilla smell.
I would purchase again.
Good product! – It has a really gorgeous finish, but I struggled to find my shade. It is really affordable and amazing for its price point, I would definitely recommend giving it a go!
Great nude colors - Good for beginners – Great for beginners as the color is not overly pigmented, so if you want that natual makeup look this can be good. (To get it more pigmented though,… Read more
I just add water to the brush then apply). I especially love the burgendy tones that come with it. The colors are very easy to blend too and look great. The instructions on the back are extremely helpful, as well as it tells you what looks you can achieve.
Nice smudge proof kajal – The kajal is nice. Also it doesn't smudge. Remains as it is for minimum 8 hours. One stroke and you are good to go. It actually is smudge free and not like the other products. Totally worth the money! You can suurely give it a try.
Separates & crinkles – This doesn't last 20 minutes before it starts to crinkle and separate under my eyes when used alone as a concealer. Horrible product.
No longer a favourite – I used to love this mascara, it was reliable until I removed it… but not anymore. I remained loyal to Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof Mascara over… Read more
years of everyday wear in all weather, showers of rain, buckets of tears, tons of sweat and miles of swims, this mascara never let me down… until now.
What happened Maybelline? Did you change the formula? A recent purchase had me shocked at the clumping and flaking off to almost non existence in the shower. And if I happened to cry, tiny chunks of mascara chips would float around in my eyes irritating them badly. None of this happened previously. Thinking it may have been a bad batch, I purchased another.. same result.
Sadly, it’s no longer reliable and I will now have to search for a new waterproof mascara. So disappointed :(
Doesn't budge, but takes some practice – The challenge of my life has been finding a foundation that stays on my face ALL DAY and doesn’t shift or come off easily if I touch my face. Well I… Read more
found it. Hallelujah!
I don't recommend this if you have dry skin or fine lines, it will only dry you out even more and exaggerate lines. I have fine lines under my eyes, virtually invisible with no make up, but impossible to ignore with this foundation. So I'd suggest not using it under the eyes and instead use a concealer.
A beauty sponge is definitely the way to go for application, a brush will only work against you.
This foundation delivers on its promise - it stays on your face. However, it is not the easiest to work with. When I use it on its own, it takes a lot of effort to get all my products working together - blush, bronzer, concealer, etc. But if I mix it with liquid pigment or another liquid foundation, it's a dream to use. I know some people think you shouldn't have to go to the effort just to have a good foundation, but it's worth it for me to not have my make-up melt off my face halfway through the day.
If you have very oily skin, this foundation will work wonders for you. I use cream bronzer and liquid blush, definitely steer clear of powder products. I don't need to use a setting powder with this foundation, I'll only use a setting spray if it's a warmer day just for my own peace of mind.
Using too much will make you look cakey, so it's better to start with a thin layer and build up. I've found it is a buildable foundation, but I get a full coverage look with just one layer. If you need to use concealer I suggest putting it on before the foundation. I usually use concealer for blemishes, but haven't needed to with this foundation, only under my eyes with no foundation on top.
If I could give any tips for using this foundation, I would definitely suggest mixing it with another liquid foundation to make the application process easier and so your other products blend well together. In any case, with this foundation I feel like I could stick my face under running water and pat it dry with a towel, and my make-up wouldn't budge. So if that's what you're after, I definitely recommend it!
