A Hint of Rouge

Removing makeup is not as exciting as putting them on. In fact, if you don't have the right tools, it would be really hard to take out all of the makeup especially waterproof mascaras and eyeliner. However, you really have to take them all off before hitting the sack because it can clog your pores and lead to break outs.

Back when there makeup removers were unavailable in Watsons, I used to remove makeup using wet wipes and petroleum jelly or cold cream. These do the job pretty well however, it caused me to break out.

So when I found Maybelline Express Care, I was so thrilled to finally have a decent makeup remover.

It removes makeup rather easily even when using just a few drops in a cotton pad. I love it!

I bought this mascara a couple of months ago just in time for a wedding I attended. Comparing it to other Maybelline mascaras, it was the more expensive type but for waterproof mascaras in general, it was rather cheap.

When you open the tube, the wand has a big curved brush applicator. It's really nicely designed because it follows the contour of the eyes so it's easy to apply on the inner and outer lashes.

A couple of things I like about this mascara is it goes on thick with just one swipe and it's extremely black. It also doesn't clump a lot and it only does that when I swipe it a couple of times but when it does, I just use an eyebrow/lash brush to separate the lashes.

What I don't like about it is it dries out pretty fast so I have to limit opening the tube to prevent it. But then again, I do have to change mascaras every couple of months so it's not much of a worry.

Overall, I give this mascara a 9/10.
