SMOULDERING FOR MAYBELLINE FALL 2013 COLLECTION

Hi to all,

Thanks for returning to read some more from Makeup'Asylum. Hope you have all had a good week.

So a few weeks ago I purchased several items from the Maybelline Fall 2013 collection and that's what I am sharing with you all today.

First up lets take a look at the dream quads keeping in mind everything here is Limited Edition so you may or may not be able to still get these at a store near you.

The first quad is AUTUMN DREAM- Which offers stunning rich jewel toned colours such as a champagne beige, Amethyst purple, emerald green and an amazing dark glitter sapphire blue. These are very dramatic colours and will be a sure hit through fall and taking right through to many Christmas parties around the corner. I think this quad is absolutely gorgeous.

 

Next up is FALL TEMPTATION- Which is just the perfect neutral quad offering up some seriously delicious colours like gold, peachy gold, bronze and a sultry chocolate brown. Both these quads have exceeded my expectations. However I find most of the eyestudio line quite impressive.

 

 

I give these eyeshadows to very big thumbs up

 

Also in the same collection I picked up two of the colorsensational high shine lip glosses. There were three all together at the store near me. My two picks are

 

305 RASPBERRY ABLAZE Which is a nice berry toned gloss suitable for fall or anytime really.

 

 

the other colour leans more towards a cotton candy pink with a slight mauve undertone especially when you see it in person. This is 290 FLASH OF PINK

 

 

Both colours have great buildable colour with good opacity. The raspberry gloss is a bold lip, while the pink is more gentle.

I find these glosses don't have the greatest taste or smell, but its not to the point that you can't wear them as with some glosses I have. Also they are ever so slightly sticky.

Esthetically one of the finer points with these glosses is the packaging, which is very clean modern squared tubes that are solid and feel luxe in your hand, they look expensive.

 

 

All around these are overall a quality product and are nice to have if you have a love for glosses. If your not into gloss you can skip it.

 

I also picked up two of the lipsticks as well which are bar none two of my favourites to date. They wear well, fade out evenly, have amazing pigmentation and smell excellent. There is nothing I do not like about these lipsticks. I would say they certainly can hold their own next to some of the high end brands.

 

Colour 1000 LAVENDER VOLTAGE is truly a champion purple on all levels. If you follow me on Twitter I did post a pic of this on my lips. It really makes a statement as put by Maybelline themselves "BOOM"

 

 

1005 MIDNIGHT PLUM This is taking purple to the other end of the spectrum and almost turning it black, but this is super vampy and oh so sexy. For a while there I fell out of touch with the dark colours and even my hair was lighter, but somethings can't stay that way for long. I love bold dark goth looks and I always feel more like myself when I come back to this type of style and makeup.

 

 

and lastly one nail polish I grabbed, but I am not exactly crazy about the finish is the Vintage Leather in the colour VINTAGE VIOLET

 

 

It looked fine while its wet, but upon drying it takes on a matte finish that just looks messy to me. It has flakes of sparkle or something in it. I love the colour not the formula. Also it chips really bad and after very short wear time. Mind you I also did not apply a top coat:/ My bad. However it still would not have lasted on my nails because I am forever doing dishes and cleaning and I hate wearing rubber gloves.

 

 

I hope you all enjoyed getting up close and personal with the Maybelline Fall collection. I have seen some pieces still floating around at stores near me, but I am sure stuff like that tends to sell faster in the states. I noticed here in Canada or at least in my area people aren't as apt to run out the door when Limited Edition items hit the shelf, which in a way is good for me, but then I feel like the local crazy when I am in the store at 7 a.m. looking for a new collection that is barely out of the box.

 

EYESTUDIO QUADS WERE $10

GLOSSES WERE $7

LIPSTICKS WERE $8

NAIL POLISH $3

 

EVERYTHING WAS PURCHASED BY ME AT MY LOCAL WALMART
