Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse in Pure Beige: Medium 2

About Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse:
Air-whipped liquid provides perfecting coverage for 100% poreless skin. Ideal for normal skin.
Oil-free, fragrance-free,  Dermatologist-tested, allergy-tested, non-comedogenic – won’t clog pores, safe for sensitive skin.

I bought Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse on impulse and still no regrets.

Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse, a sturdy see through glass bottle with pump. The texture of Mousse is creamy and gives light to medium coverage. The coverage is slightly buildable but won't conceal blemishes and marks. The Finish on skin is Satiny-dewy and for time being skin indeed looks flawless.
The staying power is average, stays on for 4-5 hours and a li'l blotting or powder will be needed to control shiny T-zone or Cheeks.
I have Combination skin with T-zone and Cheeks Oily. And I need to blot and powder my face after 3 hours if I reach for this.




The Oh-so-Good about Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse:

1. Dewy and Satiny Finish.
2. Light to Medium Buildable Coverage.
3. Photographs well with Flash.
4. Ideal for Dry skin or Normal.
5. Blends like a dream.
6. Fragrance Free, All that good for Sensitive noses.
7. Non-Comedogenic. So no clogged pores.
8. Flawless Air Brush Finish, if applied suitable way.
9. A tiny amount, just a blob is needed for the face.

The Oh-so-unworthy about Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse:

1. Glass Bottle: Not Travel Friendly.
2. Not ideal for Oily skin.
3. Settles in Fine lines, if not blended properly.
4. Shade Selection. One might have to customize to find ideal shade.
5. Not for Humid Climatic Conditions unless you stay indoors in Conditioned Atmosphere.
6. It transfers on the Phone. ( atleast for me )

In the quest of my Cherry Culture Package, I made run(s) to Custom office, which turned in vain.
And then I wanted to go to Kryolan City on Waterfield road, out of impulse. I bought my First Kryolan Blush. And I wanted the Ikonic Gel Pencils as well.


My long lost Sleek package returns home  and then I spot and lay my hands on TRESseme Keratese Shampoo at Supermarket and my HG Facepack with Free Scrub, I grabbed two tubes already. What can I even plead for?
My mom just renamed me, Greedy. No kidding. She did.

Let the Pictures do all the talking.



I bought an extra black for my sister, out of respect. But I know she'll snatch all the pretty ones :-/
She is one cruel girl!

There were some 3 more colors which I didn't even wanted to swatch. But but there was this Prettiest Blue color, I ever saw and Out of stock!
Other colors except the ones I bought are Aqua Blue, Gold and Silver.
I will swatch these and post tomorrow. :)

So I think, I had a semi wonderful day :D

A word spreads like a fire!

I wanted to try MUA since I came across few reviews that the 'Undressed' and 'Heaven and Earth' Palettes are Naked 1 & 2 dupes.
I'm dreaming of UD Naked...

I saved my savings and asked my friend to buy me from his paypal in December but then this happened!
MUA hit 35k likes and they screamed out the 35% off with free shipping!
You'd dare to think, I resist.

And I 'udaofied' all my money in CUSTOMS :-(
And to add more disappointment, The Artiste palette came in broken and a Mascara all dried up! :o
But I'm still happy that none of my products went missing. I shelled out 590 INR as custom duty!
Say out loud 'Custom' and I shudder :-(
But... But.. I'm still getting stuff with their 50K likes offer. ;-)

Here what all I got when I was way too greedy!



MUA Heaven and Earth Palette
MUA The Artiste Palette
MUA BB creams 2 in Medium and one in Light.
MUA Face Primer
MUA Eye Primer
MUA Powder Blushes in shade 1,2 & 4
MUA Cream blush in Bittersweet
MUA Single eyeshadow- Black
MUA Pro-Eyebrow kit
MUA Gel eye liner in On-the-go (missing from the picture)
MUA Mascara: One washable and other washproof.
MUA Eye definer in Auburn
MUA Compact in shade 2
I think I misplaced one product, I can't find with all mess at my place.
I haven't tried any of it yet, I just packed all of it and kept in my vanity safely!

When all the renovation mess is cleaned, I will safely pull out all at once and color my face like a clown. Hah!

Did you get anything?

I am not much of a Make-up Person, But yes I do love to sit in front of my dressing table and pretend I am doing Make-up. Hah!
I'm more of a Minimalist, I'd play with Eyes or Cheeks... I detest Dark, Waxy Lipsticks.
No Foundations too...( I'm having second thoughts here...)
I'd just put on some Kajal or winged eyeliner with a soft tinted lip balm for College.

For the Challenge I have used:




Lotus 3-in-1 Matte look - 325 INR ( I got it for 295 at Medplusbeauty)
Maybelline Colossal Kajal - 150 INR ( I got it for 135 at Medplusbeauty)
Maybelline Hypercurl Mascara - 200 INR
Maybelline Expert Eyeshadow in Seashore Frost. ( I've to use this up before 2013, I use it daily ;-) ) - 240 INR
Maybelline Lip color Bloom in Peach.- 99 INR

Total: 969 INR including Discounts :P


I've used Lotus 3-in-1 Matte look as Base.
For eyes, I've blended 1.Base ie Mint Colored Eyeshadow with the sponge applicator provided with quad  on the crease, avoided going overboard.
I blended 4.Liner ie Gunmetal green on the corners. Avoided going overboard too.
Tightlined my eyes using Colossal Kajal and lined my Lower lids too.
I've concealed Kajal using 4. Liner from the quad.
Single stroke of Mascara on my lashes and two swipes of Color Bloom on my lips.





Peach Bloom on my Lips


A Light Mint colored sweep on my Lids.


I'm scared of FOTDs, But I don't know how I have the heart to post them.

Volumized + curled lashes for 18 hours!

With exclusive curl-lock formula.

Available in washable and waterproof variant

Move brush upwards from root to tip to plump individual lashes and achieve dramatic volume. Continue applying to lashes until you reach your desired look. Do not let it dry between coats. Repeat for lower lash line

My take on Maybelline Volum’Express Hyper Curl Mascara: This is one product, I don’t leave home without. This is the Wash proof version of Volum’Express Hyper curl Mascara. Just two coats gives my lashes Volume and Length.

It does not clump, even after 4 coats, I’ve never applied more coats than 4.

A Cute Black and Silver Packaging, and is easy to carry.

I wonder about the 18 hours longetivity, I never kept on for no longer than 8 hours.

I find Wash proof mascaras difficult to remove. Olive oil did not work for me, but Vaseline Petroleum Jelly removed it completely.

After Monsoon, I will buy the Washable version of this product.

Only Black shade is available

I love this Mascara, It is perfect for Day Makeup. It really brightens the eyes, by adding Length and Volume and Density to Eyelashes.

But What I love the most is It does not clumps, even if you layer up.

It is definitely affordable.

This product stands up to all the claims that are made by the company. Even Availability is not an issue, is available at Maybelline Counters and Online.
