My Opinion: - Some days back I reviewed Nivea Repair & Beauty Lip Balm which I have been using at nights and reaping good results. So today I am here with my views regarding Maybelline Baby Lips Anti-Oxidant Berry Lip Balm which I have been using during the day. But let me tell you girls here itself that this is not the only lip balm I am using during the dayWithout wasting much time let me come to the packaging of this lip balm which is super cute retractable blue tube with pink cap and cuter pink font on the tube. This way it is very travel-friendly, can be applied on the go without a mirror.

                                  The fragrance is very mild and reminds me of fresh berries. Its a pleasant fragrance which most people including the ones with sensitive noses will love. The lip balm is baby pink in color and it is buttery soft and glides on the lips with ease. Just a couple of swipes is all you need to get baby soft lips for hours.  Actually the lip balm stays on for 4 hours at the max with light snacks and completely goes off after a full meal. It needs to be reapplied every few hours when worn alone but if used underneath a lipstick its effects stays on for much longer periods. This lip balm is non-tinted and hence I love to wear it under lipsticks. It comes with the added advantage of SPF 20 and that is the main reason I prefer to use it during day time. 

                            Ok I tried using this lip balm twice at night and the results were simply awesome. My lips were baby soft and very well hydrated, I found my lips to be pink and very smooth & supple. This lip balm basically does whatever Maybelline claims but the effects are temporary, my lips are hydrated, moisturised and soft & supple only when the lip balm is on. As soon as the lip balm fades off, slowly the lips become a little dry so I have to keep reapplying it whenever required. My lips are well moisturised and protected from the sun and that's enough reason to say this lip balm from Maybelline is worth the hype and rave reviews from my blogger friends. I love it too, I am also using the Berry Crush one which is tinted and comes with SPF 16.





Pros:


* Affordable & Easily Available

* Contains SPF 20

* Mild berry fragrance <3

* Makes lips soft and supple as claimed

* Highly moisturising

* Colorless hence perfect for use underneath lipsticks

* Buttery texture helps it glide over lips easily





Cons:


* 8 hours moisture claim is false

               I rate Maybelline Baby Lips Anti-Oxidant Berry 4.25 out of 5. I am a self confessed lip balm addict and try my hands at all possible lip balms I come across. A very affordable lip balm in a very catchy packaging which gives you baby soft lips, then why not give it a try this winter and pamper your lips. And good news for all the men out there, this lip balm is non-tinted and you too can grab one for yourself. Next I plan to get the Mango Pie one. Recommended for all lip balm fanatics :D

Maybelline Says: - * Glossy intense finish
                                * Smooth and precise application
                                * Waterproof, smudge-proof



Ingredients: - Aqua/Water, Acrylates/Ethylhexyl Acrylate Copolymer, Dipropylene Glycol, Alcohol Denat, Steareth-20, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil,Phenoxyethanol, Laureth-21, Caprylyl Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin, p-Anisic Acid, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Hydroxide, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Maltodextrin, Tocopherol [+/- May Contain: CI 77266/Black 2] (F.I.L. B52117/1)

My Opinion: - Liquid liners are a staple in my makeup kit, the basic Blacks & Browns are a must along with the Blues & Purples & what-nots. So today I have chosen my HG black eye liner, it is Maybelline Hyper Glossy Liquid Liner in Black. This eye liner comes in a black tiny plastic tube, the applicator brush is much longer than the actual tube containing the liner. The tube is tiny, a little over 1 inch and the applicator is a little under 3 inches. The screw-on elongated brush makes the packaging mess-free and travel-friendly. 

                   This liquid liner smells like commercial ink if you inhale directly from the tube but otherwise it is basically fragrance-free as you will not get the inky-smell upon application. The liner is intensely pigmented and I would call it Jet Black like most of my blogger friends have described it. The formula is liquidy but not runny or watery nor is it dry, it's more of a gel-like. A single swipe is more than enough to give definition to my eyes. I suggest you avoid multiples swipes as this makes it flake off after 4-5 hours. The liner dries in a jiffy and you don't have to close your eyes and keep waiting for it to dry, it takes a maximum of 20 seconds to dry up. I use it in the mornings when I am pressed for time.

                                   This eye liner is glossy and you can see this when light hits your eyes or out in day light. It stays glossy and looks just applied whole day, I love the fresh look it gives to my eyes all throughout the day. The glossiness does not fade or becomes matte which makes me love it. The liner does not smudge or budge from its place even on my oily lids until I choose to remove it. The brush applicator is very fine and gives control over the thickness or thinness of the line I choose to apply. The brush is perfect for wings, flicks and near about anything. The brush picks up enough product for each eye and is very similar to Lakme Absolute Shine Line brush but a tad bit thicker.

                                Finally coming to the waterproof claim, its totally false. This eye liner is water-resistant as you can see in the below pics where I have shown the swatch unmoved after splashing with water but if you disturb the liner after it comes in contact with water, it smudges and is gone in seconds. But even if the liner is not disturbed after coming in contact with water, it will stay put as it is and this property of this product is called water-resistant and not waterproof.This eye liner otherwise stays on till I remove it say 8+ hours. But I thing which bothers me is the quantity of product which is way too less, if used daily I guess it would finish off in about 45 days. All other claims made by the brand are correct to my knowledge and therefore it is a near HG Liquid Black Liner.

SWATCH- NATURAL LIGHT

SWATCH- ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING

SWATCH AFTER SPLASHING WATER

Pros:


* Affordable & Easily Available

* Jet Black Glossy Liner

* Glossiness gives all day fresh look

* Dries fast, you don't need to wait

* Stays on for a long time

* Does not smudge or budge after it sets

* Applicator brush is very thin, perfect for very thin lines & wings

* Water-resistant





Cons:


* Flakes after 4-5 hours if you swipe multiple times

* Quantity (3g)  is too less, with regular use it would get over in about 45 days or so

* Not waterproof but its water-resistant

VERY FINE BRUSH APPLICATOR FOR PRECISION

                   I rate Maybelline Hyper Glossy Liquid Liner in Black 4.5 out of 5 for its ease of application, glossiness and super fine brush applicator. If you love glossy eye liners and don't have the habit of messing up with your eyes, then yes this one could be your favorite liquid liner. But as for the waterproof claim, nope its water-resistant. Recommended and my near HG black liquid liner.

Hope this review helped you in some way and do leave behind your sweet comments and also tell us which is your favorite black Liquid Liners. Thank you and have a rocking weekend everyone :)

Maybelline Says: - 24HR Intensity, Tattoo Tenacity.
                             * Dare to wear our longest-lasting shadow.
                             * Our ink technology creates super-saturated color.
                             * Cream gel smoothes on for vibrant color that does not fade.

Available in 8 stunning shades:

1. Bad To The Bronze

2. Bold Gold

3. Fierce And Tangy

4. Pomegranate Punk

5. Edgy Emerald

6. Tenacious Teal

7. Painted Purple

8. Audacious Ashpalt

My Opinion: - The first shade I bought from this range of Maybelline 24 Hour Color Tattoo is Bad to the Bronze along with Bold Gold. The Bad To The Bronze one, I have already hit pan as I wore it every single day back then. And according to me its the prettiest of all the 8 shades available, its a bronzy-browny shade with cool taupe undertones. Its a unique shade and I do not have a similar shade in my entire eye shadow collection. It was love at first sight and I picked it up immediately. This cream shadow comes in a not-so-heavy glass jar with a black screw-on lid. The packaging is travel-friendly and apt for on the go use. This cream shadow has a bit of inky smell to it but it's not strong enough to put you off. 

                    The texture is soft and buttery which makes it easy to apply on my lids without tugging which is a good point. Its a smooth & creamy gel based shadow which needs to worked fast with. I apply it on one after the other eye so that it might not dry up and blending is easy. It does not dry very fast but still need to work fast. It comes with a brush which is decent enough to apply the cream shadow but I prefer fingers to the brush as fingers makes it much easy to apply, spread as well as blend the shadow with ease. It looks quite shimmery on the pot and actually its loaded with very finely milled iridescent and gold shimmer, you can see that on very close inspection. Also I found a few random specks of silver shimmer in it but on application it gives more of a pearly finish rather than a shimmer look.

              The pigmentation is decent and a single swipe is enough to cover your lids but if you want more coverage, it can be built up for more opacity. Whenever I am rushing out which nearly always I am, I reach out for this color tattoo as I can apply & blend it with my finger. Then I need to apply just eye liner & mascara and I am good to go. This color tattoo can be used alone or topped with other shadows but I mostly prefer wearing it alone. This cream shadow once set, does not smudge or budge from its place. It did not crease or melt in the hot summer days, but my friend who has dry lids complained of a dry-wrinkly look after this shadow sets. It is waterproof and stays on my lids with a minimum (negligible) amount of fading for a good 7-8 hours. Removing this cream shadow is easy, you just need to wash off with face wash and water.

SWATCHED HEAVILY

Pros: -


* Affordable and Easily Available

* Texture is buttery & soft

* Glides on my eyelids without pulling or tugging

* Stunning shade of taupe-bronze which will suit/flatter most Indian skin tones

* Can be used alone or as a base

* Does not dry immediately, can be smudged & spread at ease

* Stays on for ever, till I remove it myself

* Easily washes off with face wash & water, no makeup remover required

* Lovely pearly finish makes it good for everyday wear

* Decently pigmented, can be built up for opacity

* Does not smudge & budge

* Waterproof

SWATCHED HEAVILY- AFTER PLACING UNDER WATER

Cons: 

* Imparts a dry & wrinkly look to the lids if eye cream is not used underneath for girls with dry lids

LEFT- SINGLE SWIPE & RIGHT- DOUBLE SWIPES

                I rate Maybelline 24 Hour Color Tattoo in Bad To The Bronze 4.5 out of 5. A neutral pearly-finish browny shade for everyday wear and will suit most Indian skin tones. It is my favorite go-to shadow whenever I need to rush. Although I have hit pan on this color tattoo, I still have much product left in it to repurchase. But I definitely will once it gets over which I don't think is anytime soon. Highly recommended for girls who adore neutral shades.

* Swipe BB Stick on your forehead, nose, cheeks and chin.

* Finally, you could also apply a little Kajal and Lip Balm for a great natural look.

My Opinion: - There has been a lot of skin care reviews on BDI of late and hence for a change, today I will be reviewing a makeup product. It is the Maybelline ClearGlow BB Stick which has been my favorite since its launch long back. I bought the one in Radiance and the other shade available is Fawn which I felt will be a tad bit dark for me. Everyone in the blogosphere is done reviewing this product and I am sure I must be the last one to post about it. The packaging is very cute and stylish, its like a lipstick tube. The body is blue-green synonymous to the Maybelline BB Cream and the lid is made of similar blue-green transparent plastic which shuts tight without any click sound. I have carried it ample number of times in my purse and while travelling, but the cap does not comes off so I would call it travel safe.

                     The tube it comes in has a twist up mechanism and I clean off the tip with a tissue after every use. It is nearly fragrance free which is a plus point or atleast the barely there chemical-scent goes off immediately upon application. This BB Stick is very creamy and glides on the skin very easily. It blends like a dream and gives seamless, flawless look to the skin in minutes. The BB Stick can be blended with brush, sponge and fingertips. Fingertips work the best I believe but today I have used Colorbar Foundation Brush to blend as I have a few breakouts on my face now. It does not do anything for the acne even though it is said to contain Salicylic Acid. I mean it neither irritates my break outs nor it dries or heals them.








                          This BB Stick stays on for whole day in an air-conditioned environment and 6-7 hrs in non air-conditioned environment without any fading. It does not make skin greasy at all and also it keeps my skin shine-free for hours. This BB Stick keeps my skin shine-free for 4-5 hours in an air-conditioned environment and 2-3 hours in a non air-conditioned environment. I have to blot my skin and use a compact only once or twice in the entire day. The 12 hours shine control claim is too big and hence it is false we all know. The BB Stick is said to control sweat and sebum for 5 hours and of course it does control sweat but sebum it does control for that long only in air-conditioned environment otherwise it is a mere 2-3 hours max that my skin stays shine-free. This BB Stick gives a dewy satiny glow immediately after application and later on settles into a matte finish. Actually it dries to powdery but smooth finish. The coverage is sheer to medium which can be built where required, would not cover up major flaws or heavy imperfections.

ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING

NATURAL LIGHTING

                        The Shade Radiance is for the fair to medium skin tones and looks a little whiter on my skin when I draw lines on my face with the stick. But upon blending it adapts to the color of my skin and matches very well. Actually the shade Radiance has Pink undertones and Fawn has Yellow undertones, it looks a little dark on my skin when swatched but upon blending it might as well adapt to the color of my skin. Blending this BB Stick is as easy as a breeze, a little dabbing and patting with fingertips is good enough for flawless skin. I do not need extra concealer for my slight under-eyes circles and minor flaws, this stick does even out my skin and I just have to add a bit more of it over blemishes and on my under-eyes and my skin is flawless. It brightens my face upon application and keep it that way for a long time and also minimizes the appearance of pores thus giving a very smooth look. I don't need to moisturize my skin before applying this BB Stick and I just have to cleanse & tone my skin and apply it. It glides without effort, no tugging or pulling of my skin. Also I do not need to layer my skin with Sunscreen as this BB Stick has SPF 21 & PA+++ which means it also protects skin from both UVA as well as UVB rays.

SWATCH-NOT BLENDED

Pros: -


* Affordable & Easily Available

* Nearly all claims are true- evens out the skin, conceals, mattifies to some extent, hydrates, smooths & brightens

* Diminishes the pores thereby giving a smooth look to the skin

* Negligible fragrance or can be called fragrance-free

* Contains SPF21 & PA+++ (protection UVA &UVB), so no need to slather on my sunscreen

* As I have very oily skin, I don't need to moisturize my skin as this BB Stick is enough hydrating for me but dry skin beauties are requested to use your moisturizer prior to using this Stick

* Does not irritate my skin or my breakouts in any way, contains Salicylic Acid good for oily acne-prone skin

* Extremely east to blend, hence can be used when in hurry

* Truly a multi-tasker

SWATCH- BLENDED

Cons: -

* Only 2 shades are available which will not cover all Indian Skin Tones

                      I rate Maybelline Clearglow Shine Free Clear Stick BB Stick 4.75 out of 5. It really is a true multi-tasking product that each girl should have in her vanity. If only one of the 2 shades matches your skin tone you can go ahead with this great BB Stick which is really a sad sad deal. Other than that this is one great product that I highly recommended to all girls who like medium coverage and a natural look.

Hope this review helped you in some way and do leave behind your sweet comments and also share with us your experience with BB Creams/Sticks. Thank you and have a rocking time ahead :)
