Maybelline Lifter Gloss Lip Gloss – Review

In winter, lips savior is “Lip gloss” if you want that extra shine on your lips on wintery nights. Imagine a night when you are talking to a girl. All we see are glittery lips and breath Vapor. Wow! Just like a romantic movie scene. Right!

But don’t worry. I am not going to tell you any story here. So, let’s jump to our today’s topic, Maybelline lifter Lip gloss Topaz. 

I have tried Maybelline’s other range of lip glosses in the past. About 5-6 years ago, I got introduced to Mac Lipsticks. After that, I never looked back. So, reviewing this product is quite exciting. 

Meanwhile, if interested, please watch the YouTube short video for Maybelline lip gloss ‘TOPAZ’ @revivelifewithme

What Maybelline claims?

Maybelline describes it as a “Maybelline NY’s Lifter Gloss Bronzed delivers sun-kissed glossy lips and a fuller look. No Filler. Now, in five bronzed shades inspired by golden hour, this lip gloss formula with hyaluronic acid leaves behind lasting hydration and fuller-looking lips”.

Also, they say, Maybelline New York’s Lifter Gloss delivers glossy lips and a full look. Its breakthrough formula with Hyaluronic Acid visibly smooths the lip surface and enhances lip contour with high shine for hydrated, fuller-looking lips. No Filler. Plus, its XL Wand™ transforms lips in an easy, one-swipe application. 

What do I think about it?

First, let me tell you that I have chapped lips no matter what I do or try, especially in winter. This situation led me to grab more lip glosses than lipsticks for the last couple of months. Being said that, I am not a big fan of lip glosses as I feel they are sticky and won’t let me drink or eat anything.  The fun part is, when I leave my hair open, they will always target my lips and stick to it 🤣. Does it happen to you as well? Let me know in the comment section below. 

So, Maybelline Lifter Gloss Lip Gloss “Topaz” is a light terracotta with gold pearl. But, Of course, anybody can pull it off since we are talking about gloss. The subtle shimmer gives the right amount of shine to the lips. I mean, it is not as glittery as it may look in the tube. 

They say it has been formulated with Hyaluronic Acid to achieve visibly smooth lips and provides a significant amount of hydration. 

I agree with their claims, but not entirely.  Why am I saying this? Because I tried this gloss on a regular winter day, it lasted for about 1 hr or so. After that, I had to reapply it. Also, it’s not that opaque. People who have pigmented and dry lips (Like mine) might need to apply couple of layers to get the actual color on lips. It has some coconut mixed vanilla fragrance that I don’t mind smelling. I love it.

The competition has become very tough with a rise in the beauty market. However, we may stumble upon a great product under budget, like Maybelline or NYX butter gloss. You never know.

You can try the Maybelline Lifter gloss, and its retail price is $9.99 (USD).

Maybelline lifter Lip gloss is a beautiful gloss but as per my requirements I think I’ll pass on this in the future. Instead, I would love to buy some more NYX butter gloss and save a few bucks. 

Let me know your experience in the comment section below. If you would like to suggest any lip gloss to me. I would be more than happy to try it. 

Thank you.

Best Makeup Remover Cleansing Balm for all skin types – Clinique’s Take The Day Off Balm

Clinique Take the day off cleansing balm. The best makeup removing cleansing balm suits all skin types. Awarded by Allure Beauty Expert as the best makeup removal product. 

Juggling between which product to use or which one is better than the other. On top of it, having acne-prone skin or fighting acne-related issues makes the situation worst. It is very hard to choose the products, especially when buying skincare products. Believe me, I always step into others’ shoes when I write such posts. 

Hence, I can say out loud that this is the best cleansing balm I have ever tried. So gentle on your skin. I have tried a couple of other drugstore brands and a few from high-end. But Clinique’s Take the Day Off cleansing balm stands apart. Once you incorporate it into your makeup removal ritual, you will forget about its price. Would love to keep a backup in case of emergency. 

In the beginning, I was a bit skeptical if this makeup removing balm will work to its hype. I started using Clinique Take the day off cleansing balm when I was breaking out badly. I was using minimum makeup at that time and did not want to use any harsh makeup removal wipes either. Eventually, ended up using it more often than the other products I owe. 

What makes it a bestseller?

Clinique Take the day off cleansing balm dissolves long-wearing makeup in a minute. The best part is, that it is suitable for all skin types. Every skin type. It will never let you down except for people who have very-very sensitive skin and needs doctors’ attention. 

The formula is Non-comedogenic, Non-greasy, Non-drying, and Fragrance-free. Lightweight makeup remover dissolves stubborn eye and facial makeups, as well as sunscreens, swiftly. When applied, it transforms from a firm balm to a silky oil. It cleans deeply and completely. Helps skin seem younger and longer by gently removing the stress of pollutants. 

As stated on Clinique’s website, the key ingredients are Safflower seed oil.

This natural emollient is high in linoleic acid and leaves skin feeling soft and nourished. It effectively breaks up natural oils on the face and dissolves difficult-to-remove makeup.

In my opinion, yes it indeed does what it says. The silky formula just melts down the makeup on your face into some luxurious emollient balm. Leaving skin very soft and clean. 

If you want to see a demonstration, kindly click on the YouTube- shorts link below. If you like it then you can support my channel and subscribe to it.

Also, I must admit that price-wise, it is expensive and probably for many of us (including me) cannot always be an affordable option spending USD 36 for 3.8 oz. / 125 ml. 

But it’s the winner cannot debate on price. 

Final Thoughts

Clinique Take the day off makeup removing cleansing balm is an amazing product. It is gentle yet very effective and breaks down the makeup and for that, you just need to massage the balm into dry skin with your fingertips. Voila! Your face is clean and makeup free. As I have mentioned earlier this would be the most recommendable product for acne-prone skin. Give it a try!
