Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals Concealer Review (Shade: Medium Sand)


Because I'm a mother of a super active baby girl (super cute too, btw) and an online merchant, I rarely get to relax during the day. I also often have to stay up late either for work or for keeping my husband company (he's always home late and the nighttime is the only time we have for each other). All this bad habit of burning the midnight oil meant that it was unavoidable that I'd get dark circles under my eyes. To successfully remedy that, I've been using Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals Concealer, and in this review I'm going to share my experience of using this concealer with you.

Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals Concealer comes in a small and thin transparant tube packaging. When you open the cap, you will see that this concealer has a built-in wand applicator - which looks exactly like a lipgloss applicator, btw. This concealer is wrapped in a plastic cover and all the ingredients are printed on the plastic cover.

I heard that this concealer actually has 2 shades, but I've never seen the other shade besides the Medium Sand, the shade that I usually bought.

The texture of this concealer is a bit runny. So I myself prefer not to put too much of the cream at first application because this concealer can easily end up being too cakey on my face. After all, this concealer is buildable, so my approach is safe.

The Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals Concealer also has a medium coverage. Here I did a simple experiment by trying to hide a ballpoint pen ink line on my hand and you can still somewhat see the line after application although it is blurred.

It's also the same with my uneven skin and dark spots. This concealer doesn't really make it totally disappear, but it does help me with concealing blemishes considerably.

Below I also make a comparison of my dark circles before and after using this concealer:

So far I've found that this concealer really helps me make my eyes look fresh. It has a matte finish. Right after I blend it, the shade will normally feel too bright for my skin. However, after waiting for a couple of minutes, the shades will start to blend with my skin color. It also makes my skin color a bit greyish at first, but it's not that obvious and it goes away once I cover it with a foundation.

The price of this Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals Concealer varies from one place to another. In the Maybelline counter, it's kind of pricey at about IDR. 75.000. The last one I bought was on sale at the Hypermart mall, and it was only at IDR. 43.000. Lucky!

CONCLUSION
PROS:
- Quite affordable especially if you can find it on sale :D
- Works well for covering my dark circles, dark spots and uneven skin
- has a built-in applicator
- doesn't cause my skin to break out

CONS:
- only available in one shade

So, have you also tried Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals Concealer? What do you think about this product, girls? :)

Maybelline Fashion Brow Coloring Mascara Review for Thick Eyebrows

There aren't many products for eyebrows in my country. So far, I've mostly only found eyebrows pencils. So when I found out that Maybelline actually has a Maybelline Fashion Brow Coloring Mascara for eyebrows, I got really excited. I simply HAD to to try it.

All this time, I've never been a fan of any eyebrows products because I have thick eyebrows and every time I used eyebrows pencils, I always ended up looking like Shin-chan (a Japanese cartoon brat with super thick eyebrows). The only way that would work is to trim them until it's like super thin before applying the eyebrows pencil, and I really didn't like that. In the end, I decided to stick with my own thick eyebrows and not putting anything on them.

But, to be completely honest, every time I look at someone with very nice and neat eyebrows, I would always feel a little jealous. Especially nowadays, when the Korea craze is all over my country and everyone has nice brown eyebrows.

Maybelline Fashion Brow Coloring Mascara

I finally bought the Mascara when it's on sale in Hypermart for IDR. 49.000. Which I assume the cheapest that you can get :D
For the color I chose dark brown.

My first thought about this eyebrows mascara is "what's up with that funny big wand?"
Maybelline Fashion Brow Coloring Mascara

At first, looking at the wand I don't have high expectation for this product, it probably make me look like sinchan again, but when I applied it I feel so surprise, IT DOES WORK REALLY GREAT! It gives my eyebrows a natural look and it gives my eyebrows a natural brown color. And surprisingly the funny looking wand works really great with my thick eyebrows. I really love it!

Here the picture of my eyebrow after I used Maybelline Fashion Brow Coloring Mascara



PROS:
1. It's very cheap and affordable and yet the quality is very good
2. The wand really works great with my thick eyebrows. It makes them look neat and natural
3. The brown color is so natural that it doesn't make your eyebrows look fake
4. It really last long
4. Waterproof and smudge-proof!

 CONS:
The packaging is a bit plain

Repurchased? ABSOLUTELLY YES! :D

Again, Maybelline makes me add one of their item to my favorite.

So, how about you pretty readers? Have you tried it? Do you love it too? :D


XOXO,

Review Hyper Sharp Liner Eyeliner from Maybelline New York


Kali ini aku mau review salah satu item make up wajib pakai ku which is EYELINER!
Yap, cewe asia dengan mata tipis ala punyaku gini keluar rumah tanpa eyeliner is a BIG NO-NO banget dah. Secara mataku ini bukan cuma kecil tapi sendu sayu kaya orang ngantuk, jadinya kalo ga pake eyeliner pasti selalu dikira orang lagi ngantuk mulu *sebel*

Pertama kali kenal eyeliner itu duluuu banget jaman SMA, itupun taunya cuma eyeliner pensil dan dipakai cuma kalo pas lagi ada acara penting doang dan yang makein pun orang lain. Tapi daridulu yang namanya eyeliner pensil itu somehow ga pernah jodoh sama mataku. Ga perlu hitungan jam dah, hitungan menit aja pasti udah bleberan ga jelas bikin kantung mata hitam. Makanya dulu si sebel banget sama eyeliner.

Sampai pas jaman kuliah baru dah sama temen dikenalin sama yang namanya eyeliner cair yang bentuknya kaya pensil ujungnya ada kuasnya. Dan pertama kali tau eyeliner model gini lagsung deh jatuh hati berat. Walau emang si perjuangan awal bikinnya needs a lot of practice (ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY MAKES A PERFECT LINE!) but it's all worth it dah.
Tapi perjalanan sampe ketemu 1 merk eyeliner cair yang cocok juga ga sebentar. Sempet beberapa kali gonta ganti merk, karena somehow mataku emang paling jagoan bikin eyeliner smudge sampe akhirnya secara ga sengaja ketemu sama Maybelline Hyper Sharp Liner. And I TOTALLY LOVE IT until now!

Kenapa bisa gitu?
1. Ujungnya tipis gampang banget untuk bikin cat eye
1. Selain tipis, ujung Hyper Sharp Liner Maybelline ini aku bilang paling pas. Ga terlalu kaku tapi juga ga terlalu lembek. Jadi buat bikin line di mata tu enak banget. Sekali garis jadi dah.
2. Hyper Sharp Liner Eyeliner ini bener2 waterproof tahan lama buanget. Mau diguyur air aja sama sekali ga memudar, digosok-gosok pun dia masih tetap bertahan.

3. This is an anti-smudge eyeliner. Satu2nya eyeliner yang bisa mengatasi mataku yang ahlinya bikin bleber. Mau dipake sampai 12 jam aja sama sekali ga bleber. Paling cm agak hilang atau menipis doang, tapi itu pun minimal sekali. (Dengan catatan ga pake acara kucek2 mata lho ya)
4. Warna hitamnya tegas. Sekali oles mataku yang sipit sendu sayu secara ajaib lagsung berubah jadi besar. Suka banget dah!
5. It's very affordable. Untuk kualitas eyeliner sebagus ini, IDR. 79.000 menurut saya si is a very good price.

So, buat aku Hyper Sharp Liner dari Maybelline sejauh ini adalah eyeliner paling bagus dan cocok buat aku. Gampang banget dipakainya bahkan untuk yang masih amatir dalam dunia per-eyeliner-an sekalipun :D
So, I'm going to give this product 5 STARS!!!

So, how bout you, Ladies? What is your favorite eyeliner Let's share it with me :)
