Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Shadow in Tough as Taupe - Price, Review & Swatches

*UPDATE: mybeautyexpress is now crazybeautyland.blogspot.com

I'm happy I got my hands on this.  I don't know why Maybelline didn't release such sober shades in India. I mean yeah, we are Indians and we are very colorful, but  like the rest of the world we go easy on our make up when we dress up for our jobs or colleges. It would have been so nice to have shades like beige,pink,dark green etc. available here. Oh well, enough brooding, let's get on to the review.

This a part of my Maybelline Haul from Singapore.

Cost- 15 SGD

Quantity- 4gm

My take on Tough as Taupe:

This is actually not my first eye shadow from this range. The first is Bold Gold, which was so bad it put me off this range. But I wanted a matte shadow and I wanted to give this one a try, I'm so happy I did.

Freeman's Feeling Beautiful Kiwi & Yogurt Facial Moisturizing Cleanser- Review & Swatches {Guest Post}

*UPDATE: mybeautyexpress is now crazybeautyland.blogspot.com

Hello pretty ladies, today I’m going to review my favorite cleanser – Freeman’s Facial Moisturizing Cleanser Kiwi & Yogurt. First off, I have a dry skin. I was on the hunt for a non-drying face wash when I came across this cleanser. I have used only one Freeman product before this and that is the Chocolate & Strawberry Detoxifying Facial Mask  and I absolutely loved it! So I knew that buying this would be a good choice, especially since it claims to be moisturizing- something which my dry skin needs. And let me tell you, I struck gold with this one!

Cost – Rs.220

Qty- 150ml/6fl. Oz.

What the company claims:-

It’s a super hydrating smoothie for the skin! This silky cream cleanser with crisp Kiwi and cooling, non-dairy yogurt cleans away oil and impurities-without stripping or drying skin. Perfect for normal to dry skin

Directions for use: Massage gently onto damp skin. Rinse with warm water. Use morning and night

Maybelline Haul!!!

Hello sweeties, 

Okay, first off I'd like to thank my mom because she purchased all this for me. She is a really unique person. She was staying in Singapore for some time and when she announced that she was planning to return, I mailed her a list of things I wanted from Singapore. So my kind and very generous mother, roamed around Singapore malls on Mother's Day to buy me all the things I needed. A subset of the list were Maybelline products. My mom has no clue when it comes to make up, but she hunted down the store and brought me the stuff anyways. And I'm so so so grateful for that, and of course I feel guilty that she spent Mother's Day shopping for me, but I plan to make up for it now that I'm at home. And yes, these products were brought two weeks ago, but I got home yesterday. The first thing I did was take out all of these and just stare at them happily, and then, when my mom woke up ( I reached at 6 am), I covered her in kisses and hugs. 
So here's the haul ladies,

• Master Drama Cream Pencil in 415 Bold Brown
• New Lasting Drama Gel Liner upto 36Hr in 01 Black
• Color Tattoo 24hr in 35 Tough as Taupe
• Baby Lips Lip Balm in Anti-oxidant Berry
• The Falsies Mascara in Black
• Master Drama Cream Pencil in 400 midnight master

[UPDATE: I have updated the list with the links to the review pages!]

Now I know that The Falsies and Anti-Oxidant Berry are available in India. Actually I wanted the lip balm in a flavor called Smoothing Berry but the SA gave this one to my mom. Also, the Falsies were unavailable at any store near me, and I didn't want to buy it online, so I asked my mom had to get. 

The gel eye liner is not the one that's available in India yet, its a new formula one which is supposed to last for 36hr. I wonder who wears make up that long! The Tough as Taupe eye tattoo is a shade which is not available in India. I had a bad experience with the Bold Gold color tattoo, but I wanted this anyways because I feel that taupe is a very wearable yet versatile shade. Plus, I believe in second chances ! 

And, the Master Drama Cream Pencils!! I heard they are limited edition in the US but they are also available in Singapore. I felt like I just had to have them, I love the name and I couldn't wait for them to release in India, if Maybelline planned to do so at all. So, like they say-Strike the iron while its still hot! I decided to put them on the list, lest they become sold out in Singapore. I'm so happy my mom was able to get them!!! 

 I'm going ga-ga over these products!!!! I have already started on the gel eye liner and the eye shadow tattoo. Watch out for the detailed reviews!!

Life is a journey. We travel places to places for fun, entertainment and education. You can say the same for beauty. First we took baby steps towards skincare, by following the home made recipes our mother gave us, which was passed on generation after generation. Slowly we entered the world of brands and tried a few products, some damaging and some rewarding. And we don't stop here. Beauty is a perennial journey; you can't get a facial and expect that for one month your face is going to look lovely. You still have to take care of your face every day.
