The items being tested are:
- DreamLUMI touch Highlighting Concealer by
Maybelline in Radiant
- MagicLUMI Highlighter by L'Oreal in Light
- DREAM Bouncy Blush by Maybelline in Rose
Petal and Candy Coral
- Downtown Denim eye shadow by Maybelline
Eyestudio
- The Colossal Volum'Espress Cat Eyes Mascara by
Maybelline in Glam Black
To start, I put all my primers/foundation on and did my eyes first with Downtown Denim as my lid and crease color and then added the darker blue-denim color under the bottom lashes as a soft-liner effect. NOTE- You MUST have a primer on your eyelid for this pigment to even deposit. Otherwise it just a wash of sheer color and its a bit... well blah. Next, I applied the Colossal Volum' Express mascara by Maybelline. It separated my lashes well but I am not sure it gave me the volume that I wanted. Maybe its just my lashes??
After that I applied the DreamLumi by Maybelline first as a corrector and then added the MagicLumi by L'Oreal as my concealer. It gave me a good highlight under my eyes. The texture is creamy and they both have brushes to easily apply with!
Last but not least, I tried the Dream Bouncy blush in Rose Petal and the color looked very faint so I layered it with the other blush in Candy Coral. The Rose Petal is great for a highlighter on the cheekbones! This blush is definitely a cream to powder and is really lightweight. You can get a sheer to medium application and then it kind of melts into the skin to leave a soft glowy finish. The texture feels like a sponge but its not a sponge. If you were to dig your finger in it you would break it. Just use gentle, circular strokes with your ring finger when picking up the product and then apply.
So did these products pass the test??? What do you think? I say on a scale of 1-10, I would rate a 7 because of the simplicity and it did exactly what I needed.

Ps. I am not being paid to review these products. I bought them with my own money and am reviewing at my own will. But I would be happy to get paid for it! :)
I never tried any of these Maybelline products, even though it's one of my top favorite brands! I really want to try the highlighting concealer, though (:
ReplyDeleteHello Kelly B, thank you for your comment! I liked all the products I tried but I use the MagicLUMI Highlighter from L'Oreal the most because I like to touch up under the eyes with it during the day. I like a little highlight and it keeps my eyes from looking tired. Oh, you are entered in the giveaway!! Best of luck to you!!
