This week I received four drugstore makeup products from Chick Advisor and Butterly in exchange for my honest review as part of the #TopRatedBeauty.
The Package included:

  • L’Oréal Paris Telescopic Mascara

  • Maybelline New York Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick

  • Maybelline New York TattooStudio Brow Lift Stick, Fade- Resistant & Smudge Resistant

  • NYX Professional Make-Up Matte Finish Setting Spray

I had never tried any of these products before and I have been testing them out over a few days now and I have some thoughts…

L'Oréal Paris Telescopic Mascara

This one lives up to the hype. It is not thickening but VERY Lengthening. Its precise application due to its long and slender brush its perfect for getting those hard to reach lashes. It can be beautifully built up coat after coat without clumping or flaking. The wear time is wonderful keeping my lashes looking lush for hours.

Maybelline New York Super Stay® Matte Ink™ Liquid Lipstick

I was very intrigued to finally try this viral lipstick and the shade was absolutely beautiful my perfect pinky nude. It had gorgeous colour payoff and application was very smooth and applicator was precise especially for my cupids bow.

Unfortunately, It just isn’t hydrating enough for me and felt a little too drying on my lips as time wore on and because of that I found it difficult to remove.

However, it does pass the mask transfer test. If you are looking for a liquid lipstick that won't budge...THIS Is It!

Maybelline New York TattooStudio™ Brow Lift Stick, Fade-Resistant & Smudge-Resistant

My brows can be unruly and this keeps them in place. It was SO easy to use with the dual ended applicator. My brows looked so natural and defined and they held well without feeling sticky or brittle. I am absolutely in love with the shaper tool to perfectly sculpt my brow hairs. I will need to try a tinted shade versus the clear because I love this one so much.

NYX Professional Makeup Matte Finish Setting Spray

This setting spray is fantastic!!! I am very picky when it comes to even the way spray is dispersed from the bottle and this one is LOVELY. With just a couple sprays your face is covered in a very light formula that is completely non-sticky and dries down beautifully. It mattifies without drying out my sensitive skin and keeps my makeup in place all day long. I also love that it doesn’t have a heavy scent to it.

This box overall was a success for me and these will definitely be products I will be purchasing from the drugstore in the future.

Have you tried any of these items? What are your thoughts?

With Nice Things & Digging Drugstore Beauty,
