FOTD, Mini Review - Maybelline Illegal Length Mascara & Green with Fashion Eyeshadow Quad

I bought this eyeshadow quad more than 3 weeks ago (see my haul post) and completely forgot about it until today.
I was initially attempting to do an in-depth review on the new Maybelline Illegal Length Fiber Extensions Mascara but I quickly realised there are not much to talk about this mediocre mascara, so I decided to throw in a FOTD using this forgotten goody. :)



This quad is from Maybelline Eyestudio line, which is a slightly higher-end of the regular eyeshadows.
I am not so crazy about Maybelline eyeshadows in general, but something from the Eyestudio line would be my choice if I have to pick one from Maybelline.

810 Green with Fashion is an LE.
consists of cooler green shade and pretty neutral shimmer.

Overall, I am pretty happy with this quad since color payoff is great and each colors blend in seamlessly.

Here is a close-up on the eye makeup.
I am wearing the New Illegal Length Fiber Extensions wp Mascara in Blackest Black as well.


To be fair, this mascara is not horrible. I will probably use this until the 3 months expiration date is up.
The intense color is nice (Maybelline is known to make mascaras of really glossy black) and it doesn't smear or flake on me. The brush is easy to use.
But is it enough to be called "Illegal Length"?
Nah, it is legal, all right. It doesn't provide any visible lengthening or volumizing. Just some defining, is all.
It should be illegal to give such an extravagant name to a mundane mascara like this and make suckers like myself open wallets, though.
