THE VERDICT:
Maybelline
Philippines ends the year with a bang by launching arguably their most
anticipated collection of the year made in collaboration with superstar model,
Gigi Hadid.
Gigi
Hadid's collection is divided into two categories: EAST COAST and WEST COAST.
East Coast is inspired by Gigi's home away from home, New York city while West
Coast is inspired by her hometown, California; the former has cooler tones
while the latter has warmer tones. Between the two, East Coast collection is
the biggest, as in way bigger than West Coast, and I'm wondering why it's like
that; only Gigi knows. :D
First, I
love the elements of the packaging: holographic, gold, peachy nude. It's
elegant, modern, and cool. Some were saying that it looks completely like KKW's
packaging, but I don't really see the direct resemblance though.
EAST COAST
East Coast collection features the following
products: BB Cushion, Tinted Primer, Eyeshadow Quad, Lipstick, Lip Liner,
Eyeliner, Brow Pencil, Dual Fiber Mascara.
BB Cushion ingredients
Tinted Primer ingredients
BB Cushion in Natural and Fair; Tinted Primer in Light Medium
The cushion has a light cream consistency and
yields light to medium coverage. It is unscented.
The
Tinted Primer feels more like a tinted moisturizer; it is unscented. The shade
Light Medium is actually tan already.
East Coast Eyeshadow palettes. Left is Warm and right is Cool.
Eyeshadow palette ingredients
Warm palette swatches
Cool palette swatches
East
Coast palettes have 5 shades with a matte finish. The powders have light to
medium pigmentation, albeit a bit chalky. Personally, I find the Cool palette
more pigmented.
Lipstick and Lip liners in Taura, Erin, and McCall
Top to Bottom: Taura (peachy nude), Erin (Dirty Rose + Taupe),
McCall (pale peach nude)
The
lipsticks (P349.00) remind me of color sensational matte lipsticks; they have a
soft matte consistency and semi- matte finish. The lip liners (P249.00) are
pigmented and can even be used on their own and they yield a soft matte finish,
just like the lipsticks. The lip liners have really good staying power.
Lipstick and Lip Liner are sold individually.
Dual Fiber Mascara, Eyeliner, and Brow Pencil
L-R: Eyeliner in Black, Brow Pencils in Brown and Dark Brown
The
eyeliner pen comes with a slim brush applicator; fits a lot of eye shapes and I
like that it can go even into the inner corner of the eye for even coverage.
Pigmentation is medium to heavy and this is pretty long- wearing.
Brow
Pencil has a semi- hard texture, but softens as you rub it on the back of your
hand. Pigmentation is medium to heavy and color deposits gradually onto the
brows.
WEST COAST
West
Coast is a pretty small collection and is comprised of only 3 lipsticks, 3 lip
liners, and 2 eyeshadow palettes.
The
eyeshadow palettes have 6 shades per palette. This Tinted Primer which is
included in the West Coast collection comes in the shade called Medium Deep.
Eyeshadow palette in Cool
Eyeshadow palette in Warm
West
Coast eyeshadow palettes come in matte and shimmer finishes. Pigmentation is
medium to heavy and yield lesser fallout compared to the East Coast
counterparts.
Lipstick + Lip Liner (L-R): Lani, Khair, Austyn
For the lipsticks, West Coast collection has deeper, bolder colors, but they're only red and orange.
Top to Bottom: Austyn, Khair, Lani
JET SETTER PALETTE
The palette contains 12 products plus two brushes. These are Gigi's beauty essentials when she's traveling.
The thing I'm excited the most about this palette is the inclusion of Maybelline Colossal Volume Express, one of my most favorite mascaras of all time.
L-R: Concealers in Fair and Natural; lip balms
The concealers have a light cream texture and light to medium coverage; on the swatch, you wouldn't think that the concealers are any good, but they surprisingly are when finally used on the under eyes.
The palette also contains 4 basic eyeshadow colors for peeper emergency.
L-R: Blush, Contour, Highlight
The blush has a matte finish and comes in an almost neon- like orange shade. It looks pretty scary in the palette, but it appears natural on the cheeks provided that it is used sparingly and buffed onto the skin properly.
The highlighter in this palette is THE BOMB. Love the creamy texture that makes it super pigmented and gives it superb adherence. It also gives a lovely, perceivable, metallic champagne pink strobe.
Let's try out the products!
Bare Brow
Using Brow Pencil in Dark Brown
The controlled color payoff feature of the brow pencil lets me create a nice gradient and shadowy, natural- looking brows. However, it feels a bit waxy so my useful tip is after applying the first layer, brush it out with the spoolie that comes with it to get rid of the waxiness. Continue doing so until you achieve your desired coverage.
Dual Fiber Mascara
Dual Fiber Mascara reminds of a similar product by K-Palette; does the job in elongating and adding a bit of volume to the lashes and is water- resistant. Wouldn't use this if I'm particularly busy though because of all the steps involved.
Bare skin
One layer of Tinted Primer in Medium Deep
This particular shade is way too dark. My shade would be light medium. As I said, it feels more of a tinted moisturizer, but the primer property here is it helps smooth the skin.
One layer of BB Cushion in Natural
BB Cushion has pretty good coverage; I used it on top of Tinted Primer in Medium Deep because it is too light for me on its own; Natural is the darkest shade in BB Cushion and I wish there are shades for morena skin tone like mine.
The cushion yields a semi- matte finish and staying power is pretty good at 4 hours before T-Zone gets oily Just a note, it oxidizes for a wee bit.
As for the Tinted Primer, it does help improve the finish of makeup, although I don't really think it helps control oil. I think the BB Cushion has good oil control on its own.
Night look: Lipstick in Erin, Eyeshadows in East Coast Cool and West Coast Warm, Jetsetter blush, contour, highlight, Brow Pencil in Dark Brown, Eyeliner in Black, BB Cushion in Natural, Tinted Primer in Medium Deep, Lipstick and Lip Liner in Erin
In this photo, I used a combination of the products from East and West Coast, and Jetsetter Palette.
In general, this collection is pretty and most of the products are good. I can't say that East Coast is better than West Coast and vice versa because each collection has a strong product.
For eyeshadows, I would suggest the West Coast palettes because there are more products in the palette, more textures, more finishes, and better quality overall.
BB Cushion is great it; I like it, but I wish I had a shade. If you find a shade, lucky you.
The lipsticks have great colors and the lip liners are very good.
Personally, I would highly recommend the Jetsetter palette because I love the selection of the products, the highlighter is amazing, and there's the Colossal Mascara. I will also recommend the lipsticks, lip liners, and BB Cushion.
Which of these products have you tried already or would you like to try?

Had a love at first sight with the Jetsetter palette! I think every product in the palette will be useful and it's great because you can create a full makeup look using just one palette making it a perfect vanity kit staple.
ReplyDeleteI love the packaging of this collection. For me it looks feminine yet edgy.
For the lipsticks, i like the ones on the East Coast collection.

ReplyDeleteGusto ko Yung Jet Setter Pallet sulit na sya sa 1899 halos kompleto nadin.
ReplyDeleteMas gusto ko Po yung West Coast Collection. 😍😍😍
Wow! That is a lot of selections from Gigi Hadid! The packaging is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot of mixed reviews about these products. Personally, I haven't tried any of these for myself. I do however love the packaging of this collaboration. I'm a huge fan of minimalistic and simle packagings. Love the holographic boxes! I love the fact that they used millennial pink for this. Sort of reminds me of a pinkier version of Kim k's nude packaging for her cosmetic products. I wanna try the lip products from this line! Plus the highlighting product and the palettes too! Looks very promising. Thanks for sharing this, Ms. Martha!
ReplyDeleteLove the East Coast Eyeshadow Palette in Warm! I'm into peachy shades lately coz they look so natural and girly.
ReplyDeleteMejo nasurprised ako sa after photo using the tinted primer Ms. Martha! :)
I've watched a US-based Youtuber use the tinted primer in places where you just need to contour. Gigi also did the same on her tutorial.
ReplyDeletewala nakong sasabihin pa kundi WOW! GIGI HADID YAN!! she created a beuty cosmetic collections with a heart! she really put up everything she has in her mind..all she learned from her career and life, pinag-isa nya sa collection nya! CONGRATS TO HER!
ReplyDeleteThe lipstick in McCall shade caught my attention before and it did again on your post! Parang tinatawag nya talaga ko Ms Martha 😂
ReplyDeletePackaging pa lang, pak na! Grabe bongga talaga si Gigi Hadid x Maybelline. Kaya lang medyo pricey na sya for a student like me. Pero ang ganda talaga nung Jetsetter Palette at nung mga lipsticks e. 😍
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think of this post! :)
