Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow Palette - The Brights

Maybelline started off as a small family owned business and was created by Thomas Lyle Williams in 1915.  The company was named in honor of his sister Mabel.  In 1967 the company was sold to Schering-Plough and in 1990, sold again to a New York investment firm Wasserstein Perella & Co, and then acquired by L'oreal in 1996.

Maybelline's slogan "Maybe she's born with it.  Maybe it's Maybelline can be heard echoed around the world.  Products range from the eyes (shadows, mascara, etc.), to the face (foundations, powders etc.), to the lips (lipstick, glosses, balms etc.), to accessories (brushes, makeup tools etc.).  Products can be purchased from various drugstores like Target, Walmart, CVS and can also be purchased online from websites like maybelline.com and amazon.com.

The product we will be discussing today is the Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow Palette - The Brights.  About the product:

• the palette offers a range of twelve (12) very eye catching colors
• there are approximately thirteen (13) eyeshadow looks that can be achieved with the duo, trio and quad combinations the palette offers.
• colors range from blues, to purple, to pink to browns/gold to black
• the packaging is simple and effective

LIKES

• the simple and effective packaging
• the eye catching colors

DISLIKES

• product is powdery and had a great deal of fall out
• not pigmented or vibrant even when applied wet
• difficult to blend

FINAL THOUGHTS

Although the colors are eye catching they were not pigmented when applied.  It took a lot of elbow grease and time to blend and get the look that I was trying to go for and the end result was still not what I wanted as I lost interest in using the product so I settled for the look I ended up with.

The final look was not a bad one, however it was hard to get the colors to blend and with the fallout, I do not think it was worth the work I had to put in.  There are several other drugstore palettes that are better and worth the money and time, even some other palettes from Maybelline.  I was not satisfied and thus returned the product. Overall I give this product 😻😻 (2 out of 5 kittens) for packaging and color range.
