Chick Advisor - Maybelline New York Makeup Review

Hey I know its been a while - but the most important thing is that I am back with a new post.
This is my review for 2017 and my first box from ChickAdvisor. I am so excited for the opportunity to try out the new Maybelline collection. For someone like me who only wears makeup on special occasions, I was so excited to get the email that I was selected to try it out.I was given the opportunity to try out the Dream Cushion Fresh Face Liquid Foundation, Dream brightening creamy concealer, Face studio master Camo colour correcting kit, Face studio probing liquid illuminating highlighter and lastly the 24k Nudes Eyeshadow palette.

I was given the chance to try the products mentioned above for free and to give my honest opinion.

I had the opportunity to try out Dream cushion liquid foundation ( #55 caramel). I have a deep complexion, so for drugstore foundation, it is usually a miss situation because its either too light or it is too dark and unfortunately the foundation I received was a little light for my skin tone. Other than that I love the compact packaging and I love how light weight it feels on my skin - the product does move so after you apply the foundation make sure to use a setting powder and its at an affordable price.

I had the opportunity to try out Facestudio Master Camo Colour Correcting Kit ( #300 Deep). Out of all the products I received - I was most excited for this product. This was my first time trying out colour correcting product and I absolutely love it. The orange correct one ( bottom left side)- make my dark circles go away and I love it and the darker conceal ( bottom center) was a perfect match to my skin tone and it blends really well- it great to find affordable ones that do wonders to the face.

I had the opportunity to try out Face studio Master Strobing Liquid Illuminating Highlighter ( #300 Deep/ Gold). I absolutely love how extremely pigmented ( the gold is popping) and that it shows on my skin tone ( I have a deep complexion) - and a little goes a long way. Seriously all you need is half of a pea. I have tried a lot of hightlighter and this one is now my favourite. This product is definitely worth every penny.

I had the opportunity to try out Brightening Creamy Concealer( #60 Deep). I am not a fan of the sparkly finish - other than that I love how it brightens my under eye area and that its in a form of a stick which makes applying it easier.

I had the opportunity to try out the 24k Nudes Eyeshadow Palette. I love the compact packaging and colours of the palette( all the colours are wearable). The light colours in the palette are not that pigmented so you have to build up the product - especially if you have deep skin tones like me. The dark shades are opposite and are very pigmented. Out of the 12 shades - only 3 of them are matte and the rest is sparkly. I love the fact that there are different shades of gold ( 3 shades) - which is my go-to colour in eyeshadow palette

Please note that the products mentioned above were sent to me by Chick Advisor to try out and give my honest opinion.

Katy Kat Collection Review

I recently got an opportunity to try out Katy Kat Collection: the full size of Katy Kat Eye Mascara in Very Black and the full size of Katy Kat Matte Lipstick in Maroon Meow. Please note that I was given these product for free to give my honest opinion.

Some Facts about the products
Katy Kat Matte is COVERGIRL’s first demi-matte lipstick by Katy Perry. But that’s not all! Here’s what other Katy Kats may want to know:

There are 11 highly pigmented colours to choose from: Sphynx, Pink Paws, Magenta Minx, Coral Cat, Crimson Cat, Cat Call, Kitty Purry, Cosmo Kitty, Maroon Meow, Catoure and Perry Panther
Each is infused with nourishing butters such as shea
A soft finish and creamy feel help the lipstick glide on smoothly
It’s not dry or dragging on your lips
They retail for $10.99 at drugstores

There’s the cat eye. Then there’s the Katy Kat Eye. In addition to 360° All-Day Cat Eye, this is what makes Katy’s mascaras so Bzzable:

The 360° Sculpting Brush sweeps lashes up and out
They don’t flake, smear or smudge
Perry Blue delivers 10X Volume + Fullness (plus, it’s the first-ever electric blue mascara by COVERGIRL!)
Very Black, Black and Waterproof Black deliver 10X Volume + Darkness
Each retails for $10.99 at drugstores

Lets start with the lipstick - I am a huge fan of dark matte lipsticks but this lipstick is not only matte but does not dry the lips which is awesome, It feel like a lip balm on the lip. I have been wearing this for two months and I have been get compliments that the colour is a great colour on me. When it comes to drugstore makeup, I usually shop at Wal-Mart - and it is currently in rollback at $6.97, which is great because I am almost done and going to purchase it soon. I will definitely recommend this to my family and friends. Thank you BzzAgent, Cover Girl and Katy Perry for giving me the opportunity to try this product out.

Now for Katy Kat Eye Mascara in Very Black -I was given the option to choose the black or blue mascara, but ended up choosing the black. Like how I mentioned in my previous mascara review, every time I yawn my eyes get watery and it looks like I was crying therefore I wear minimum eye makeup - usually just eyeliner so I can avoid looking like a raccoon. Like the lipstick, a lot of my friends noticed the mascara and were giving compliments. I usually put one coat of mascara and it makes a huge difference. I don't put more coats because it tends to be clumpy on my eyelashes. I probably won't buy it, because I only wear mascara for parties and events. However I will definitely recommend this to my family and friends. Thank you BzzAgent, Cover Girl and Katy Perry for giving me the opportunity to try this product out.

Only mascara, no other eye makeup

How to Apply the Katy Kat Collection

To apply Katy Kat Eye Mascara:

Hold the brush as close as possible to the base of your lashes
Wiggle the 360° Sculpting Brush upward through lashes towards the ends
Add two or three extra coats for a more dramatic look
Use with LiquilineBlast eyeliner to complete your cat eye look!

To apply Katy Kat Matte Lipstick:

Start with clean, bare lips, then apply lip balm to create a smooth base
Define the shape of your lips with a concealer, like TruBlend FixStick
Fill in your lips with lip liner, like COVERGIRL Lip Perfection
Apply lipstick either straight from the tube or with a lip brush. Blot, then reapply for a gorgeous, full colour lip look
