Maybelline

I recently purchased Maybelline's Volum' Express the Mega Plush mascara in blackest black. I got a two-pack at Walgreen's for $9.99 and figured I would be saving some money since what I really wanted was L'Oreal Voluminous Butterfly mascara. I hoped that these mascaras would last me a while but, who am I kidding? I'm going to buy another mascara before I run through the two Maybelline Mega Plush.

This mascara is supposed to be a thickening mascara but I found that it was only good for lengthening. It made my lashes stick together at the tips and was not a good separator. I like it, but I'm not in love. I'll probably use it up for a while until I can afford to buy what I really want, which is another Smashbox mascara.

 
I absolutely love the Maybeline Mineral Power Foundation and buy a bottle when ever I find it as it seems to be harder and harder to find...
Does anyone know if it's being discontinued?

Have you tried Wallgreens? I usually find new Maybelline products there before anywhere else...

They're definitely at Target -- the display is all (10?) shades with two of each. Mine was completely empty, lol.

I'm on the fence with these new "creamy" mattes. Not that mattes can't be creamy, but from seeing YT lip swatch videos these look like straight cremes to me. In LipglossLeslie's video, they were even getting melty from her using them. o_o

Yeah, I agree. I am wondering the same thing.. There are a few shades that I plan to get regardless, but I am a matte-lipstick (and satin lipstick) lover.. I am not into creamy lipsticks, because they wear off too fast.. I still want to get some though, especially since Maybelline lipsticks are so cheap at Target ( Only $5 plus change)..

Anyway my Target still doesn't have them... :-(

Yeah my target had the new mattes but they were all picked over and the only ones left had obviously been used...gross lol. I really liked the bright red, pink and orange shades. Sadly the magenta and dark red weren't there for me to look at. I'll definitely grab a few when I find some that aren't ruined.

^ I hate that!! People that use cosmetics should be tossed out of the store! Come to think of it, I saw a woman get tossed out for that...and also the fact that she was cussing and pushing customers. I guess she thought she had the right to smear lipsticks on her hand (this was in Walgreens) and was nearly arrested. She was escorted out yelling "where is the sign?" (that said no swatching), after being told by the salesgirl she couldn`t do that. Honestly...it was bizarre...

Yeah I run the cosmetics at a grocery store and I always try and put the security stickers over where the lid connects on the lipsticks/lip glosses so it's harder for people to use them (sadly some people still rip off the security tags and smear it in their lips anyways wtf).

My favorite is when I get to do markdowns haha. I wish I worked at like a full on makeup store though because I don't get to just do makeup, I have to do all the toiletries/seasonal merchandise/candy/medicine/etc so it's not all fun but it's better than my old gig in the butcher shop lol.

Does anyone know where I can find the soft matte lipsticks ?
I asked the same just a few posts ago. As far as I can tell, everyone who has found them - has found them at Target. I went to another Target today and found them, but unfortunately they were picked over. I did manage to get three, but the one I really want.. "lust for blush".. was OOS..

Anyway they were just loose on a shelf on top of the Maybelline aisle.. I am sure they had previously been in a promotional display, but I guess since they were so picked over -- they ditched the display at my store and just put them on the counter.. Good luck.. I am still on the hunt, since there are two other shades that I want to get.
