Garnier Aqua Defense, Maybelline Eyestudio Diamond Glow & Gel Liner Swatches
This post was supposed to be up on Sunday night, but damn the internet connection! Was down till just now! Grrrr!
Anyway, here’s some quick swatches for you guys to take a look!
Maybelline Eyestudio Diamond Glow (Limited Edition) – RM33.90
The one labeled as Black and Brown are the gel liners. Fresh Green is one of the eyeshadow palettes.
Blue gel liner which is a metallic blue. Has a nice metallic like sheen. Limited edition unlike the Black and Brown gel liners. Those are permanent.
It’s much more pigmented actually, but I guess due to the place I place the colour on and with the lighting, it washes out the colour a bit.
I find Lilac Mauve to be a bit more chalky and powdery than the rest.
Look at the Copper Brown! Beautiful isn’t it? Same goes with Wine Pink!
I did a little test with the gel liners to see if they are smudge proof and water proof or not 
And they did not disappoint me!
I rub it off first with Watson’s wet tissue and then gently dab a little Inuovi cleansing oil it. The purpose of the cleansing oil is to actually emulate (not sure if it’s the right word) my oily eyelids. It stayed on pretty well huh?
My thoughts on these?
The colours are pretty much the same as Majolica Majorca Jewelling Palettes. In fact, I do think that MJ Jewelling Palettes are like dupes of Maybelline this time! I swatched all of them although at different time, but I like the colour payoff of Maybelline slightly better than MJ. Texture wise I think they are both more or less the same. MJ is a little more towards subtle shimmer, while Maybelline has a more metallic kind of a finish with more shimmer. The name Diamond Glow says it all.
I honestly think that Maybelline should justd DC ALL the other palettes and make this permanent! Really, this is one of the best eyeshadow ever! And at the price, not even Kate or MJ can beat it!
And I bought these too!
Am gonna try them out and report about them after using them for a bit!
look at the goodies you got there
, love them but have not try yet.
Great pics!!!
I tried washing the liners with soap, and they stayed put!! Amazing stuff man!!
Feel like buying the Garnier toner to do DIY mask!! haha!!
OMG!! Maybelline gel liner is now in market?? Btw, how did u find MJ Jewelling Palettes? I heard many rants of it compare to the others MJ palettes.
I wanna try the aqua defense… but APPLE!!! *cries*
i tried the gel liners too.
they are awesome!
but i didnt manage to even see the blue one!
the finish seems special – unlike any other gel liners <3
but im more of a conventional girl
even if i ever get it i would seldom use it
ooo. i didnt know that the eyeshadows were that great!
haha i didnt really check them out
bombared with too many new eyeshadows blooming like mushrooms nowadays
whats the garnier stuff for?
i cant enlarge – sucky connection
I have heard that the Maybelline gel liners are coming down to our country too! wow I’m glad to see swatches already!!! thanks for it!!!
Can’t wait to read how you find the garnier
I got the black Gel Liner. I didn’t notice the blue one!! Didn’t realised there’s a blue one. ARGH!
Saw the new range of eyeshadow too, its has better colour payoff than the last range of eyestudio in my opinion at least. I’m lemming for most of their palettes. lol
stop shopping already
:D.. making me jealous 
wwwwwwoooooooooooooot i m so out! i should go guardian asap to check. u think the gel liners worth buying?
Sherry: Tee hee, do give them a try if u get the chance ya!
Jenn: Yalor! No alcohol, so can do that!
Slowbrogal: The MJ Jewelling is ok, not outstanding, despite the rants, I personally still think that they are an OK palette but not a must have. I like their single e/s best, to be honest
Connie: *pats pats* There there, dun cry…
Lynn: It’s a body lotion, essence, moisturizer & toner.
Nikki:
Go and give them a try! I want to know what you think!
Renz: I think it’s snapped up immediately when it was on the racks, it’s such a pretty colour! And yes, the new palettes are much better than the previous ones. I never bothered with Maybelline e/s long time until now!
Agnes:
Thanks sweetie! I am not shopping anymore, I hope 
Pretty: I think they are pretty much worth buying lor
yup yup i agree with you. the copper brown looks so niiiiice. but i got too may brown-copper-gold colors already
Nia: Me too! But i succumb to the Copper Brown already! Loving it!
For those looking for the blue gel liner, I got mine yesterday at Melaka Mahkota parade, SASA. I also spotted some at the Guardian Pharmacy in the same shopping complex. But not many left.
oh plue, please do a look on the copper brown…=D.
I’m tempted to get it, but was afraid that it might look like rust or muddy looking. lol. I’m so tempted to get the pink gray and Blue palette. *drools*
[...] reading the post from Plue and Jenn, I decided to pick up a Maybelline Eyestudio Creamy Gel Liner in Blue [...]
Renz: Thanks for the info! That’s good news for those in Melaka
The copper brown does look a little rusty kind, and maybe a little muddy, but I haven’t got time to try them out. LOL. Shall see what I can do in the weekend
