When I had first reviewed the Maybelline Colossal Kajal two years ago (read post here) I had wished that they would launch more shades in this long-lasting, smooth wearing, smudge-resist eye pencil.

Za Perfect Fit Liquid Foundation OC30 – Review and Swatch
Brands are increasingly blurring the line between skincare and makeup with products that offer the benefits of both.
