Cosmetic Companies | Maybelline |

For my next few posts I'll be talking about different, world-wide and famous cosmetic companies like Maybelline, Rimmel London, Urban Decay, MAC etc. For this post, I chose Maybelline first.

Although now Maybelline has been bought by L'Oréal since 1996, the company started off with a 19 year old Tom Lyle Williams and his sister Maybel. It is said that Maybel used a mixture of Vaseline and coal dust to put on her eye lashes to make them darker and look fuller. Tom saw this and used a chemistry set to continue on this idea and made a product that he called 'lash-in-brow-line' to sell the local people. Because this idea came from his sister, he renamed the product Maybelline, hence the name of the company now.

The headquarters of Maybelline is set in Chicago, United States. The official slogan was created in 1991 for advertising which is 'Maybe she's born with it. Maybe it's Maybelline.' In 2001, Maybelline became Maybelline New York. Maybelline products are made in a huge factory in North Little Rock in Arkansas.
Some famous models that work in the advertising part of Maybelline are Sarah Michelle Gellar, Erin Wasson, Josie Maran, Kristen Davis and a lot of others.

Maybelline's all time top 5 best products include :

1. Maybelline New York Colour Sensational Lip Color
2. Maybelline New York Ultra-Brow Brush-On Color
3. Maybelline New York Shine Free Oil Control Loose Powder
4. Maybelline New York Lash Discovery Mini-Brush Washable Mascara
5. Maybelline New York Mineral Power Naturally Luminous Blush

Although these are the top 5 best Maybelline products, all five are sold for a reasonable price. Each product in the list above is sold for less than 10 euro.

It is said that some ingredients used in Maybelline eye shadows could be toxic, but ingredients include  triisostearin, phenyl, magnesium stearate, nylon-12, alumina, calcium sodium, synthetic wax. etc. But the ingredients that buyers are worried about are butylparaben, parabens and talc because of the relation to tumors and cancer.
