Why they didn't work for me...
1)I had mentioned these Eyeliner Pens in my favorites because apparently I had gotten lucky with the first few I bought. However, I ordered 1 in every color from the website and they have been terrible. They are dry,you can't put it over eyeshadow because it drags the shadow off with it. The black looks gray because it's so light on the eye. I will admit that the Teal shade is the only one that has consistently worked for me, and during the summer I wore it on the bottom lash line. They are only $1.00 but for it being a hit or miss I wouldn't waste my time hoping to get a good one.
2)This product flaked off on me throughout the day, laying on my face so if I was to swipe my face it would leave a streak of product on my face. It went on very watery and not very black at all. Then when it came to taking it off it also just came off in pieces which lead to it smearing all over my eyes and even with trying all my might I couldn't keep it from going into my eyes. It doesn't have to be waterproof if its gonna flake off anyways, one day it actually peeled halfway off.
3)This is the greatest upset because of its price tag that it did nothing for my eyelashes. It put product on them and made them black but other than that, nothing. I am using it a long side my other favorite lash products to use it up. I hate to just toss it, but it didn't make them thicker or longer so I have to say for $19 not impressed.
4)This product I picked up at the local Big Lots so I only payed a few bucks for it. I loved the colors and when swatched they are really pretty. However, they crease even with a primer and powder over top. I tried them several ways to make them work for me but it just creased. They were so oily that they literally worked their way up with the shadow into my crease line. So I had nothing on my eye anywhere but in the crease. They still sell these at CVS and Walgreens so be mindful that there are great products in Maybelline just not these.
5)This product was hard as a rock and would not blend out for nothing. I used my finger to dig into it and put it on my hand to try and get a swatch and it just rolled up in a ball on my hand. I tried it as a liner but it just doesn't show up it has no color to it at all. So for $3.00 I will say pass on this product. I also got it in a purple and brown shade in hopes that this was gonna be a great cheap creme shadow. They are all the same and no color payoff.

I hear you about the elf felt liners, I mean thankfully they were soo cheap but not too great :( that is really too bad about the mascara!!! That is why I never ever buy expensive mascara( and cuz I am not rich lol) but the outcome usually isn't any better then a $7 mascara.
ReplyDeleteAhh the shadows creasing I hate that!! I really stay clear from most cream shadows just because i find they crease more on me,are their any you recommend?
I've never tried the elf but the h20 liquid eyeliner I thought was a major bitch to get off my eyes were irritated after :-( I was going to buy the maybelline trio but didn't... good thing too!
