Review & Swatches: Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Brow Mascara in Deep Brown
Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Brow Mascara in Deep Brown is a tinted gel mousse for the brows and it has a "ball brush." It's supposed to give a even, natural, comfortable hold without clumping or flaking.

Makeup Look: Captain America Inspired Eye Look
 |
| Taken before I added black mascara on the bottom lashes |
I was trying out Etude House Play 101 Pencil in #21 on my eyes and then I started to add stuff on top until I created this look. The title says "Captain America" inspired, but I started to see a Captain America- ish vibe after I finished it.
It's totally not everyday, but it was interesting incorporating red eyeshadow into my look. Red eyeshadow could make eyes look really tired, but the thick black wing creates a barrier between the eye and shadow.
Products used -
- Etude House Play 101 Pencil in #21(review here)
- Inglot Freedom System AMC Blush in #58 (review here)
- Applied on top of the red base and blended out
- Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Broken (Theodora palette)
- Applied on the brow bone and to help blend out the blush more
- Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner in Black (review here)
- Geek Chic Cosmetics Eye Shadow in Don't Blink (review here)
- Applied on the outer half of the lower lash line
- L'oreal Telescopic Shocking Extensions Waterproof Mascara in Blackest Black
- As a base for the next product and reapplied again on top of the lower lashes
- Life's Entropy Eyeshadow / Pigment in Moonlight Shadow
- Applied wet using a slanted doe foot applicator on the lashes and also dry on the inner corner and inner half of the lower lash line
- Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Dark Brown

One Brand Focus and Look ft. Maybelline!
I recently bought more Maybelline products and I realized that I had enough to do a full makeup look. Some products I love and some I'm very "eh" about. I don't have a powder or blush from Maybelline though. I don't like powdering anymore and I rarely wear blush.
Maybelline is usually my go-to brand for mascaras, but I've started to really love their foundations. The two I've tried makes my skin look so nice and they're also very easy to use in a rush in the mornings.
The look I have above is a very no-makeup makeup look. I have a wash of color on my lids and color was also added into my face with a plummy mauve lipstick.
I'm going to talk about the products I used for the look above, but I'm also going to touch on some other products I have tried from Maybelline.
Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser is a primer that is supposed to help lessen the appearance of pores. I find that you have to be very careful in using this sometimes because having too much can make the face feel slippery. It helps foundation slide on, but the slip can stay and then make the foundation slide off.
Dream Smooth Mousse Foundation in #240 Natural Beige (review here) gives me such a nice finish on my skin. I like a more natural / satin finish. My skin is more on the dry side and so I like the added moisture from this foundation too.
Volum' Express The Rocket Waterproof Mascara in Very Black (review here) gives me defined lashes but also volume. It lasts all day and keeps my curl. I've repurchased this mascara multiple times and I also have a backup too. It's one of my favorite mascaras to use and it's a great "base" for other mascaras that don't hold my curl.
Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze is a product I don't love from Maybelline. After the first month or so, I saw the product pulling from the edges and drying up. It's a very shimmery taupey bronze color and makes everything on top super shimmery too. I'm still going to use it since it is a quick color to put all over the lids, but I much prefer other cream eye shadows.
Color Sensational Matte Lipstick in #660 Touch of Spice is a recent addition to my collection and I'm still testing it out. It is completely matte and so creamy. I had another lipstick from Maybelline that you can read about here and I hated it. The color was so patchy and made my lips so dry. Touch of Spice is a plummy mauve color that works great as a MLBB for me.
Brow Drama Sculpting Brow Mascara in Dark Brown is the other recent addition and I quite like it. It adds hold and a natural tint to my brows. I've been using other brow products that give me darker and defined brows, but I wanted to take a step back. This is exactly what i wanted right now. It doesn't seem to do much in the pictures above, but there is a difference because my brows look so naturally groomed after using it.
Keep reading to see other Maybelline products I've tried !

Manicure Monday: Ciaté Paint Pot in Members Only
I recently realized that Sephora has a 3 for $18 deal for Ciaté's Mini Paint Pots and one of the shades I got was Members Only. Sephora describes it as a nude, but I would say that it's a sheer light pink with gold shimmer. The shimmer and base color kind of mix together and make a nude peach color depending on how you look at your nails.
I had to use three coats and the there was still some sheerness to it. Normally I would hate that, but since it's a light and neutral color, I actually quite love it. I can imagine myself wearing this for weddings, work, and just every day. I've been searching for a light pinky color for awhile and this is exactly what I want.
I started seeing chipping around the 5th day, which is standard for me. Like always, I use CND Stickey Base Coat and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat.
What are you wearing on your nails this week?
