So when it comes to mascara I kinda know what I'm talking about.
On a recent trip to superdrug to pick up Sleek's BB cream (review coming soon!!) I saw that Maybelline had a new mascara out from the Colossal range "Smoky eyes"
Now I don't think for a minute that a mascara can give a smoky eye look on its own, but I have to admit that I was intrigued, plus it was on offer so I also picked up a "Master Smoky" shadow pencil in "Smoky Chocolate".
The mascara is nothing to shout about, the brush is a nice size but as I suspected I felt it done nothing to help create a smoky eye look on its own.
It's also has quite a strong scent which may bother those with sensitive eyes or wear contacts.
I much prefer Cat eyes mascara from the Colossal range that came out last year so if I were you get that instead.
Here I'm wearing the mascara on its own
The eye pencil fared a little better....
It's a double ended with the pencil at one end and a sponge at the other.
There are actual instructions on the pencil telling how to achieve the smoky eye look in two easy steps.
I thought the pencil was actually alright even though I felt a little silly buying the master smoky eye pencil because I own enough more than enough eyeshadow and brushes to create the look, but this is a nice speedy way to do it. It's very pigmented and blends real easily.
This would be perfect for someone who just starting out with makeup or those who find it difficult to create a smoky eye.
They come in 5 different colours:
Black
Chocolate
Navy
Grey
Violet
Here is the mascara and eye pencil both together
You can get both the mascara (£7.99) and eye pencil (£5.99) from superdrug in store and online www.superdrug.com
They are currently doing an offer of 2 for £10 on selected Maybelline products which include both of these products.
FYI on my lips I'm wearing L'oreal Caresse in 202 "Impulsive Fuchsia" I done a review on the range a few months back take a look.
