The Ravings of an Insomniac

Hey, guys. How are you? So today, I've got a review on the Maybelline Masterdrama Cream Eyeliner.

What it is: a cream eyeliner
Where it is: drugstores and online
For how much: about $8 depending on where you get it
Anything else: Maybelline products are tested on animals

Maybelline claims that this eyeliner has a "Pencil's delivery plus cream's intensity. Created with the highest concentration of pigments for more intense eye drama. The new generation of liner."

These cream pencils are available in five shades. I have mine in black, or Midnight Master.



The liner is packaged in an automatic pencil, which insures that no product is wasted from sharpening, but at the same time it's not as hygienic as a clean, newly sharpened pencil. There are obvious flaws with the packaging of this liner... First of all, I had to twist for ages when I first got the liner for any product to come out. Secondly, it won't go back down! What weird packaging. It's not just mine as well, others have said the same.


This pencil is super pigmented, the color apply opaque in one swatch. It's creamy and smudgable. However, it does tend to skip on the eye a bit. It also moves around on the eyelid and by the end of the day you have panda eyes!

I wanted to like this liner, I really did. A lot of people have loved it. It was nice and pigmented, but from the packaging to the budging around, I knew it just wasn't my cup of tea.

Bottom line: I didn't like the liner, but a lot of others have.

Gracias for reading! Have you tried this liner? If so, what'd you think?

Hey everyone, I've got another review today. It's on the Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo Metal Eyeshadow in 55 Inked in Pink, if you couldn't tell by the title. I hauled this a few weeks back.

Inked in Pink is a pretty color in the pot. It's a light, shimmery pink which I found incredibly hard to photograph.


This product is pretty pigmented. I use my fingertips and apply it all over my lids for a wash of color. However, I find that it does apply a bit patchy, but that might be due to the fact that I use my fingers. It's easily bendable and has a nice, silky texture.


The swatch doesn't look quite as pink as the product does in the pan. It's a little more of a rose gold on the skin, which is still nice, it's just not what I expected.

I find that this product doesn't crease on me, even when I wear it for at least 12 hours straight, but that might be due to the fact that I have drier eyelids. The color fades a liiiitle bit throughout the day, but nothing so that I have to touch up.

I always start with my undereye concealer. The one I'm currently using is the Garnier Anti-Dark Circle Eye Roller, and I'm not sure what shade this is as there was only one color when I purchased it. I roll onto my dark ring and draw a triangular shape from there to the tip of my nostril and blend out with my off-brand beauty blender.

Then I dot the Sonia Kashuk Radiant Tinted Moisturizer in Beige evenly all over my face and blend out with my fingers, or my off brand beauty blender.

Following that, I dab some L'Oreal True Match Super Blendable Crayon Concealer in Light/Medium W4-5 on any acne, scars, or hyperpigmentation on my face and blend out with my fingers.

The next step is is to add a light wash of color onto my eyelids. I've been really loving the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Inked in Pink, it's part of the Metals line, which may or may not be made permanent.

Then I sweep the No7 Maximum Volume Mascara onto my lashes. Crap mascara for volume, length, or definition (meaning all you really want in a mascara) but good for a natural look.

The last step is to dab the Pixi Tinted Brilliance Balm in Rosy Red onto my lips for a natural red lip. Read my review of this product here.

That's it. I have a pretty simple routine. Thanks for reading!
