Gosig primer
Both my teenage daughter and I have experimented with many of the latest year's primers. She for making the makeup last, I for smoothing out the skin surface in the prettiest way possible. With slightly older and drier skin, I often end up with the glowy variants of primers, but I am drawn to the idea of a more smoothing gel. And Maybelline's version is actually not bad. "You can actually see a difference," says my daughter when she takes a picture of me with primer on my right cheek. And I have to agree! Also, the consistency is really gosig, and niacinamide - albeit in a low dose - feels like a bonus. My daughter also thinks it works well under foundation, even though it's a bit hard to determine if it makes the base last longer. We will be fighting over this at home. The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson - the test pilot was allowed to try the product for free.1 product in post Gosig primer194 viewsto leave a comment - 3 weeksRating: 2 out of 5
The lift is missing
A tempting and shiny stick that promises a lift - I was so happy to get this! I'm testing the lightest version (05), which suits me - as I'm not into advanced contouring - well. Unfortunately, the shiny surface of the stick lies - on the skin, this becomes far too matte and dry for my older skin. The teenage daughter thinks she sees a certain glow, but on the other hand doesn't really know what to do with the stick - it doesn't add anything extra for her, as she does full makeup with foundation, concealer, etc. The stick is soft, which feels good, but makes it easy to break. The cap feels a bit plasticky and unreliable - I probably wouldn't want to put this in my bag. We are probably the wrong users for the product: I prefer "real" highlighters for lifting, and my daughter reliable concealers. If you're good at makeup, you can probably find uses - and maybe even more with the darker variants.

It’s easy to hope for that "glow" when the surface looks promising! So nice that you still tested with curiosity, even though the product didn’t quite find its place in your makeup routine this time. Just as you write – it might come into its own with someone who likes to experiment or work more with contouring ✨ Thanks again for your honesty – it helps others make a more informed choice!1 likes

Will be sitting on the shelf until everything else is gone
"Nice casing" I think. "Way too bulky to have in my pocket or bag" says the teenager. But the name is more than just cool - it also promises "Glaze", so we are still excited to try it. Both my daughter and I are a bit obsessed with lip products - me: long-lasting color or skincare balm, her: neutral tones and moisturizing shine. Here we get... almost none of that...? Lifter Glaze Lip Balm 01 Clear Crave gives a short-lived moisturizing feel with an unexpectedly discreet shine considering the name. I find the stick very soft, which is pleasant but suggests that the product will not be very long-lasting. The inci shows some nice oils, but to work as a lip care product, I would have liked to see peptides or similar, and a thicker consistency. Since we are testing the uncolored variant, it also can't be used as makeup: "Maybe it works over a lip liner" my daughter wonders, but doesn't seem too eager to try. We conclude that for an otherwise fun makeup brand and a promising name, it feels very much like ... lip balm. That isn't convenient to carry around. (But on the shelf, it looks nice alongside the other Maybelline products!)

It’s also great that you note both strengths and improvement opportunities – such feedback really helps both us/our customers navigate and the manufacturer to develop. Lovely that you still think the tube is pretty and that it gets a nice spot in the collection! So fun that you were chosen, got the chance to try it, and shared your thoughts – your honest words are worth their weight in gold 💄✨ Hope you can find your next favorite among the lip products soon instead, and that you have a super nice day! 🌞1 likes

A little too dry
I like how light and thin it is, but unfortunately it gets a little too dry for me. I can imagine it sitting nicely on those with a bit oilier / uneven skin!1 product in post A little too dry55 viewsto leave a comment
