Today I shall be reviewing the product very close to my heart, – Maybelline colorplush silk eyeshadow in Sapphire Siren 20, from Maybelline Eyestudio. This range has not yet been launched in India, although a similar range from Maybelline has been introduced a few days ago. Rati reveiwed it here. But it is not actually the Colorplush Silk range. I came to know about this range from the Maybelline website. Well, some of my seniors in college are pursuing PhD in USA. I asked one of them to buy it for me. Her name is Somdutta. I know she will never visit a makeup blog in her life. But I want to say her thanks once again through IMBB. 🙂
What the product says
Rich color. Smooth feel. Now silk makes shadow new again.
Our exclusive formula with silk pigments creates the ultimate shadow texture and luminosity.
Maybelline suggests:
Subtle Chic Look
Illuminate– sweep lightest shade all over eye using wider side of applicator, from lash line to brow bone.
Blend – apply second shade across full lid; using tapered end of brush, add shade to lower lash line for depth.
Emphasize – sweep third shade from inner corner to middle of lid.
Contour – line darkest shade on upper lash line with tapered end of brush for added intensity.
High Impact Look
Illuminate– sweep lightest shade all over eye using wider side of applicator, from lash line to brow bone.
Emphasize– blend second shade from inner corner to middle of lid.
Intensify– apply third shade from outer corner to middle of lid; line upper and lower lash for extra pop.
Deepen – add darkest shade in crease and line upper and lower lash line for more impact.
Removes easily with soap and water or with Maybelline New York Expert Eyes Eye Makeup Remover Towelettes
Price: My senior bought it from Walmart. This cost her $8. I paid INR 360.

About the Product
The product is from Maybelline’s Eyestudio range. The shade is called Sapphire Siren 20. It has four shades – white, teal, midnight blue and black. All of the shades are shimmery. The black one has beautiful glitter particles in it.
The quad comes with an applicator which is pretty nice and looks different from other applicators.
Swatches
The white one is meant for highlighting. It can also be used as the base. I don’t use it as base bcoz it’s too glittery which I’m not comfortable with. The midnight blue shade looks beautiful on eyes. The black one is not intense black; it has small shimmer particles which looks great for nighttime. But it is not too glittery to make you uncomfortable. The teal one is the least pigmented of all, but it’s good enough to show on your eyes.
This is how it looks in the daylight.
Pros of Maybelline Colorplush Silk Eyeshadow
1. The shades are beautiful.
2. Staying power is good if applied with a proper base.
3. Opthalmologically tested.
4. Affordable.
5. The free applicator is good in quality.
6. Not too shimmery.
7. Does not fall off (except the white shade).
8. Pigmented enough.
9. Packaging is qute good and sturdy.
10. This range has a wide variety of shades. So, you shall definitely find one of your own choices. My personal favourites are irresistible ivy, purple icon, give me gold and green with envy. I like how they name their shades. So cute!
Cons of Maybelline Colorplush Silk Eyeshadow
1. It is NOT available in India. 🙁 🙁 🙁 I don’t know why they don’t launch the good products in India. A lot of good stuffs from Maybelline are unavailable here. The Eyestudio Diamond glow range has been launched in India some days ago. But the shades are neither very pigmented nor look good on people with dusky complexion like us.
2. They did not mention the expiry date on the pack.
And this is how Sapphire Siren looks on me. I am not an expert in eyeshadow application, but I try.
Shall I buy it again?
I shall very much like to. But I have to request my senior again to bring me another one.
My rating: 4/5, I deducted one point only because of its unavailability in India. But it is widely available in US.
Take care.

It is a very pretty quad but 650 for maybelline is too high. 🙁
I think the diamond quad was for Rs 350..wonder why this one is so expensive
i am confused……everyone is looking for a photo. i posted one. and Rati, it’s rs.360. not 650. it is wayyyy better than diamond glow.
I’ll check out out. Would ahve to check out the other shades as well. :))
finally the photttuuu happened :yahoo: the shimmers will look lovely for night outs
errr….i sent the photo with my article. i don’t know why it’s got disappeared. i think now everyone’s happy. and guys, plz don’t get confused. this one is NOT same as Diamond glow quad. this is Eyestudio Colorplush Silk Eyeshadow quad. as far as my knowledge, it is NOT available in India, but the diamond glow is.
yep, they will. but u can wear it everyday also..
