Maybelline Color Show Denims in Styled Out

2 coats

 

I picked this shade up at Big Lots recently. It was just $1 and I figured it was worth a try. I really like it! Coverage was great- it was *almost* a one-coater, but I did two for complete opaque coverage. The silver shimmer in this is so pretty.

Gilded Rose is a sheer rose gold glass fleck with small gold hex glitters and rose medium hex glitters. Although quite pretty, this was chip-tastic on me! It may have had something to do with the zillion water balloons I was making for our block party, but on day 2 I had chips on almost every finger! I may try this one again over a champagne base and see if that helps with wear.

 

It appears that Gilded Rose was originally a LE, part of the Brocade collection in Fall 2013. The bottle I recently purchased did not have the Brocade designation on the cap, so this may be a core shade now.

Silver Swank is a silver glass fleck with gold micro glitters and medium silver hex glitters. And although it *does* appear to be primarily silver, when you get in most light..... it is gold! So very pretty.

Application was awesome- at 2 coats I had plenty of coverage, no need to do a third coat.

over Sephora by OPI Access 24/7 (3 coats)

A few weeks ago, ALU did a post reviewing Maybelline's Polka Dots line and I was disappointed to see how sheer they were. But of course I still felt like I *needed* to buy at least one, so I settled on the pink Pretty in Polka.

Seeing just how sheer it was, I decided to use it on top of a similar pink shade, and Sephora by OPI Access 24/7 fit the bill perfectly- plus it was an untried so I got to knock one off that list.

I just used one coat of Pretty in Polka and felt like I easily got pretty darn good glitter coverage. One coat folks! For good measure I applied a coat of Gelous before I did my QDTC and it was pretty darn smooth. 

Have you tried any from the Polka Dots line?

 Maybelline Color Show in Coral Glow

from the Spring 2013 Electric Nights collection

 

I AM SO READY FOR SPRING! I had to shout, because Mother Natures keeps teasing us here in the Southwest! We'll have a beautiful day in the 60s, then it goes right back to freezing overnight and is cold and overcast the next day. Blah!

Coral Glow is a super springy shade with a gorgeous orange shimmer. This was the first Maybelline Color Show shade I purchased and I am pleased. I paid around $4 for it and it seems like a great value. I got great even coverage in just two coats.

Any other shades from this line I need to try?
