Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner and XXL Pro Mascara

Maybelline has launched two products that we are head over heels in love over with. The new Eye Studio collection features innovative formulas and staying power.

It’s a full collection featuring eye shadows, gel eyeliners, mascaras and marbelized eye shadows. Here we show you two of our favorite products: the Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner (which we adore for its intense color and staying power and a texture that defeats silicone and silk combined). These will appear on your drugstore aisle during January 2010.

The gel formula is richly pigmented and holds more color than the traditional liquid liner. It glides on beautifully (in my opinion this rivals Lancome’s more heavily priced Gel Artliner…it is COMPLETELY worth stocking up on!). The brush is thin tipped but gathers generous amounts of gel liner. Available in four shades: Blackest Black, Brown, Charcoal, Eggplant) and each retails for $9.99.

The XXL Pro Mascara collection features has two deeply curled brushes for the two step process (the layering powder and mascara). The result is thick, long and deeply darkened lashes. I personally prefer Lash Stiletto over this mascara but unlike several two step mascaras that I have tried, this one goes on without clumping in a palatable way.$9.40.

There are several varities of XXL Mascaras: the Pro Volume, Pro Extensions, Pro Curl (this uses a primer that sets the mascara) and XXL Pro 24- Hour Bold.
