Comparison: Maybelline Mini Colorama Electric Blue vs. Gabrini 335 swatch

Comparison: Maybelline Colorama Electric Blue vs. Gabrini 335

Colorama Electric Blue turned out to be really similar to a polish I got a while ago from Goga called Gabrini 335. You can see the difference only if you look really closely. Gabrini 335 is little more streaky and has smaller shimmer and brush, but the finally effect is almost identical. The biggest difference … Read more
