My colour was Petal Rebel and it was a bit of a shock when I opened the packet. Certainly not a colour I would have picked off the shelf. Here was this vivid bright pink colour looking back at me. Never the less I tried it and was surprised by the effect. Once on the colour was actually quite subtle. I felt comfortable wearing the colour in public. Normally my lips peel when I wear lipstick, but this has not happened. It's creamy and goes on easily. Whilst it looks quite bold in the tube, it's nothing like that once on. To maintain the colour I need to keep applying this through out the day, otherwise you wouldn't know that i actually had it on.

Tips: Step outside your comfort zone and try the bold looking lipsticks, they may not be quite what you thought once you have them on.
I have a hot pink one of these and I love it! I get so many compliments when I wear it because this range is so different and stunning! Has a nice feel and doesn't get on my teeth!
Tips: Take it with you when you go out!
I have a pink lipstick from this range (I cant remember the colour!) and i love it! The colour is so bright and opaque, the finish is creamy and very hydrating and feels so nice on the lips. The only downside is that it doesnt last very long, you have to re-apply not the long after applying it the first time. But its worth it for the colour :)
Tips: Use a lip liner to make the colour last a bit longer
I got this lipstick in Make Me Pink a few years ago - and it's been a constant repurchase for me over the years. It's a bright enough pink that flatters my natural lip colour, but doesn't wash them out or look too fake. It's a great consistency and doesn't emphasise lip creases or dryness as much as some other brands. The only problem I have with it is that the staying power isn't great, and whilst they look great, they are drying. However I will keep repurchasing this colour, as it's so affordable and just gorgeous.
I have a few points to touch on here;
Pros: - The colour payoff is amazing! - They're super creamy and easy to apply - I love that they don't settle into the tiny crevices of my lips. - I think it's great that there's a large colour range because everyone and I mean, EVERYONE can find a shade that they're in love with. - It's affordable.
Cons: - I have a massive, MASSIVE issue with the packaging. I adore that it's rectangular, I think that's incredibly cute. And I know this is a little weird but I love the sound it makes when you close it. I do think that the colours on the packaging are really misleading. What you see is not what you get. I don't think it's the most convenient thing to have to open it in store to see what the colour is actually like because it sucks for people that buy it online. - The smell kind of bothers me. I know people do love the smell, it smells sweet and a little fruity but it's not my thing. - The formula isn't consistent. I have a few of these lipsticks and the shade "Berry Beautiful" is a gorgeous bright purple-y pink berry colour but it doesn't apply evenly. It gets kind of patchy when you layer it. - Because of how creamy it is, it does slip and slide a little bit.
Tips: I recommend using a lip liner for these lipsticks. :)
I received one of these as a gift and was a bit thrown. I have the Mango Diamonds no. 445. It has a lovely fruity scent which I was rather impressed with. Not being partial to orange, I was wondering how it would look on me, as it really is a bright colour. Instead, when you apply it, it is much lighter and not nearly as intense as you would expect. So it’s pretty much a wear anywhere, anytime shade. It does contain shine pigments to add some sparkle, so this is not a matt lipstick at all. My verdict - I’ve decided to rethink orange!
Tips: The colour can be deceptive, so if you can try before you buy, so much the better
Pigment is intense and very creamy. But accentuates every line or dry spot on your lips. Last about four hours before you have to top it up.
Tips: Ex-foliate your lips with a lip scrub first. Also if you want the colour to last longer use a lip liner to fill in lips first.
I own a lipstick from this line in the colour 'Make Me Pink'. It is a gorgeous dusty rose kind of colour, which translates to a soft mauve on my lips.
The lipstick is so nice and creamy and applies really easily and does not tug on the lips. I haven't had any trouble with feathering or settling into my lip lines with this lipstick.
The only thing that I am not completely sold on with this lippy is the smell. It is not bad by any means, but it isn't as luxurious as the scent of MAC lipsticks. It is also a sweet vanilla smell, but it definitely smells quite a lot cheaper. Luckily, once the lipstick is applied, you can no longer smell that 'vanilla' scent.
I absolutely love this colour! It is my top chioce for purple lipstick. It is a bright colour, that looks amazing and can be worn day or night.
I adore that it has a bright purple colour, which looks like purple, unlike other colours that have a purple hue.
It goes on very easily.
Unfortunately, it does dry my lips out, and fades after about 2 hours. Although it is high maintenance to keep up, the colour makes it worth the while.
Everyone comments on how amazing my lips look!
Tips: Put on some moisturising lip balm before you use the lipstick to combat any dryness.
It was my aim to venture into some bolder lip colours, and with the 2 for 1 Maybelline are doing at the moment it was a great chance to try a couple out!
The packaging is cute. The colours are great, such a huge range. It applies really smoothly and feels quite moistursing, not cakey. When I first put it on I thought it smelt a bit like my kids Play-Doh, but that smell seems to have gone now thankfully.
It isn't as long lasting as some other lipsticks I have, but wore well for about 3 hours which is great. Will be heading in to get a couple more before the special runs out!
Tips: Go and get a couple now while the special is still on!
