Maybellines Age Under Eye Circles Review

Maybelline Age Rewind
As you can see in the picture above my eyes are terrible. I have such bad bags because I am prone to anemia. It runs in my family and if you do not know what anemia is well it is basically when your body lacks iron in your blood. With out that nutrient your body is more tired. Combine that problem with having a lot of trouble sleeping that equals horrible under eye bags. The discoloration and bags are cause by lack of sleep. This is my only problem with my face I do not suffer from acne or anything just horrible under eye bags. 



Now, there are many easy fixes for this problem. If you have under eye bags like me I will definitely share with you my eye routine. To solve the iron problem if you are suffering from lack of iron find another substitution. If you really want to remove the bags instead of covering them up take some iron pills or B12 shots. But talk to your doctor first if it very severe. Okay what I recommend next is some eye nutrients like under eye roll on. They usually reduce redness and puffiness. I use the roll-on by Simple I also heard from the girls on Beautylish that All About Eyes by Clinque is a fan favorite.
To cover up the discoloration and hide the bags in the mean time I use Maybelline Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle. This is a treatment and concealer so that means while you are covering up this is working to diminish circles and reduce puffiness. I do not know how accurate this is but I have been using this since the beginning of February and I will say that it has reduce redness and puffiness but my circles are still dark and that bags are just less puffy. The middle picture you can see that some of the darkness does from through a little but that is my fault. When you want to conceal dark circles you need to get a shade lighter from your skin tone because you are trying to highlight that area. I accidentally took the shade that matches my skin tone so that barely does anything. So when you buy this product go a shade lighter. I do recommend this product because I think it is worth the money. If there are any other under eye concealers that you think are better let me know in a comment below :)



I hope this helps you guys. Hope you having a beautiful day!

Review Maybelline's Rocket Mascara





       Hey everyone here is a review for all you that have not purchased the Maybellines Rocket Mascara. What are you doing? Go purchase it. Just kidding after this review you can still debate whether you want to or not. As far as drugstore mascara goes this is pretty good. I apply just one coat and people compliment me and ask if I am wearing false lashes. So for 6$ it is very good quality as you can tell in the photos above. The first photo is an unedited picture of my eyes before applying Rocket. The second is an edited photo of my eyes after applying Rocket. (disclaimer: the second photo is edited but for lighter filter editing purposes.) The only problem that I have with this mascara is that it is impossible to remove and this is the non-waterproof one. I always hated that about drugstore mascara they are so difficult to get off. When I was using Bare Minerals Mascara it was so simple to remove. I have a love hate relationship with this product. I most likely will not repurchase this product because I hate buying drugstore mascara. This was a rare occasion because everyone was raving over this. The raving was appropriate because it is a great quality product. I would recommend this to people who are on a budget.


Hope this helps!

Maybelline Master Duo Review

    A couple weeks ago I went to Walmart and I bought the Maybelline Master Duo and I posted a blog immediately after I bought it showing the results of the brush and I was really surprised on how accurate it was. I bought the 500 Black Lacquer. This is literally my new favorite drugstore liquid liner. I was really impressed when I bought their gel liner and I just was in love with it and I used it all the time and then when I saw this come out in Walmart I just had to try it immediately because I was so in love with their gel liners. The consistency of this liner is great it's not to liquidy and it last all day and I bought the non waterproof liner but it still act as if it's a waterproof liner I cannot rub it off with just my fingers I have to take a makeup remover wipe to get it off. I do have to put a black shadow on top of it just to keep the color because I have oily lids and it would turn the black into silver so I put a black shadow on top of it just so it won't affect the color. So I went back to Walmart to see what other products Maybelline put out and I noticed that they put not just a black liquid liner out but multiple colors they have blue, green, purple, and many other colors so I decided to buy 520 navy gleam. I do have to be honest and say that I do not like the liquid liner by itself because it's to liquidy and the color is not very pigmented you have to put several strokes on it several layers to get the actual color that is on the sticker and it's just way too liquidy for me but the black liner is not liquidy at all it's a good consistency so it's weird it's like their formulas changed maybe I just grabbed a bad one but I'll try again. I do love using the navy blue liner mixed with chaos in the Vice palette it's just so beautiful I love it it's such a beautiful blue liner. I do have a tutorial going up about the blue liner so I'm so excited to show you guys. But overall I really enjoy using that these products they're not the best liquid liners but I do really like them. And I do recommend them if you're on a budget I think I bought mine for 7 dollars each and I totally recommend the black liner I just I really love it I probably used it several times since I bought it. I'm kinda iffy on the color liquid liners just because mine is really liquidy and the colors seem not so pigmented when I put it on the first time so I suggest if you're buying one of the color ones get a matching shadow to go with it just in case so you can put it on top. Maybe I just got a bad liner and that's the reason why it's so liquidy but if that is the case then just buy a matching shadow.


I love you guys and I hope you have a beautiful beautiful day!
