Win or Bin? Maybelline Master Duo Liquid Liner

Maybelline Master Duo Liquid Liner

"Violet Luster"

I was cruising the drugstore makeup section in search of a purple liner that would be fun to play without the high end price tag and found this! I love many of Maybelline's products and thought this would be a fairly safe bet because of the familiarity of the brand name.

Oh how I was wrong...

Immediately upon application I knew that this was destined for the bin. Honestly the only way I can properly describe the application of this product is that it is like applying purple Kool-Aid onto your eyelids. The consistency was watery and very hard to work with. The color was not build able at all and when I tried to apply a second layer, it simply wiped off the first layer and no pigment was left. 

Attached are a few pics demonstrating the poor quality:

The official verdict is in: BIN

Let me know if you have any better liquid liner drugstore alternatives!

As many of you know, I got married last week! <3 <3





I am currently enjoying my honeymoon in Maui and don't have much time for long blog posts but I cannot wait to share this one with you all!!

I was able to make a getting ready video of what I did with my makeup and had SO MUCH FUN. I love to watch wedding videos like this and even more when I was debating on how I wanted to do my makeup for my big day.

Check out my video here and see what I ended up doing. Let me know what your wedding day favorites are [:

First Impressions: Urban Decay Lipstick

Urban Decay's Lipstick in "Rapture"

Check out my First Impression video!

After stumbling across the huge display at my local Sephora, I decided to give the new Urban Decay Lipsticks a try! In all honesty, I was very hesitant to purchase a $22 lipstick because I am completely in love with YSL and for the most part.. don't feel comfortable spending the money on any other high end lipsticks. I am a Revlon & Maybelline junkie in the fullest and I know that they can match up/exceed most high end lipsticks.

That being said.... I like this product!

The packaging is much different than I expected and has a mirror-like finish and a great weight that screams high end. Consistency was very creamy and moisturizing and reminded me of our most loved revlon lip butters. However, the color payoff was much more pigmented than most of the darker lip butters and the wear was longer. I also feel like the color may oxidize just the tiniest bit (don't quote me on that) and appeared darker on the lips than straight out of the tube. Pretty <3

The pic below was after a few hours of wear and after I had had a snack and a drink. Not too shabby!

Overall I would definitely recommend this product if you are looking for something more long wearing with great color payoff (better than lip butters). I must say that the color selection was much better and fall ready with some beautiful reds that I am dying to get my hands on!

If you have tried any of Urban Decay's new lipsticks let me know what your favorite color is and what you thought in the comments section below!
