Review: Maybelline Wink of Pink Mascara

If you ask me, it's refreshing to see colored mascara that's not blue, purple, or emerald green. So, naturally, when I saw Maybelline had a bright pink mascara, I was compelled to pick it up along with I See Blue.

I am nothing if not a huge fan of pink, after all.








Upon opening the tube, the mascara wasn't as neon pink as I expected, more pastel. Still, promising. I seemed to get more product on the brush with this one, I wonder if it's because I had opened it once before to look at it before I used it. I was able to get a better swatch this time.

The mascara went on easy enough, it took a few coats to make sure I covered all my lashes properly, but it was plenty opaque and bright. The small brush is easy to control but like I said, the problem with this is it's so bright that it's hard to make sure all the lashes are properly covered. As a result, they can easily get clumpy or over-saturated by mistake.

It almost looks like I have no make-up on at all, haha!

As you can see, it's certainly bright enough head-on, though from the side it appears a bit darker and more flattering. I think if you're looking for a more flattering shade of color mascara, something like the darker red one in this line might be a better choice. For me personally it's fun but doesn't add enough definition and almost kind of washes my face out. It might be fun for cosplay though, if I ever cosplay any pink-haired beauts!

Also, like I See Blue, this one was at least nice in that for me it didn't flake or smudge while on. It's not the most flattering color, but I saw if you're looking for a cheap pink mascara for fun or cosplay or whatever, this one is a good choice that will leave your wallet happy.

Where to buy: Walmart, $3.97; various other drugstores, price varies

  2. Well at least there's always theme parties then, I'm glad you at least got a few uses out of them, even if they're not really perfect!
