Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick Review

Cute packaging: pink, holographic, classic tube. Product: a little rigid (kind of like using a crayon) but that could be to do with the change in temperature heading into winter. Once on, it melts into my lips and feels buttery/silky. The pigmentation is strong, yet not over stated, shine is satin to semi high gloss (I will say it... it shimmers). It does have a slight tacky stickiness to it but not long lasting. Staying power is low, I found myself re-applying about every two hours or so. Scent is not overpowering (slight citrus notes) and it hasn't got a odd flavour to it either (wouldn't it be great if they tasted/smelt the way they name some of them).

I definitely stepped out of my comfort zone with this shade... Bubblegum pink is a bright baby pink... exactly like an old fashioned stick of bubblegum. It isn't a colour I would personally have picked out for myself but it is growing on me... just not for everyday wear; but has me looking at other shades to find one that I could wear daily.

My daughter loves the shade... . on HER :)

I had never tried any maybelline lipsticks before the latest Farmers promotion where these lipsticks are buy one get one free...where I bought several eeeek. I have to say I am completely hooked!! The packaging is super classy and well put together. They are super pigmented and really really creamy. My favourite ones so far are from the bold matt color sensational collection, very long wearing and not drying at all. They come in a HUGE range of colours which is amazing, ive found loads of drug store brands that any carry a very small range of colours which is frustrating especially when you fall in love with a particular range, so these leave me with plenty of colour choice. I will definitely be adding more of these to my collection!

I love the colour of these lipsticks. They are so creamy and smooth to put on, and the colour result is gorgeous. I purchased the Champagne Shimmer to wear as a very pale nude lipstick for an event I was attending. I found it didn't quite cover my lips as I was hoping, but by putting a thin layer of foundation over my lips before applying the lipstick, I got a lovely nude lip look that really made my eyes stand out. Even without the foundation, I still love the sparkly look that this lipstick gives me. The Toffee Tango I have not yet had chance to wear out but have tried it on at home. It makes my lips look a little darker with a brown tone as opposed to their natural dark pink, and I can't wait for the chance to wear it out. This lipstick does need reapplying after a few hours, but is so easy to use that it is not a difficult task to do. There are so many shades available in this range that anyone should be able to find the colour perfect for them, and if you can pick them up on special, definitely cheap enough to try something different to your norm!

I have this in 435 - Plum Perfect. So far i am enjoying this lipstick i find that is the perfect lip colour for me for winter and am enjoying the creamy texture of it. It is an amazingly pigmented lipstick. I have found that its lasts on me for about 2 hours before it fades and stains my lips.

This is my all time favourite favourite drug store brand.

It's so moisturising, creamy and the colour pay off is fantastic. It's long wearing and so pigmented I get excited when I add one of these to my lipstick collection. There is a huge colour range so you will definitely find something that you will suit or love to try it. Highly Highly recommend

I love these lipsticks, in fact I love Mabelline because the products are reliably good, colours are great and last well and they are great value for money. It all goes to show that a lot of glamour can come in a sensible plain package. I am in Australia as I write and stocking up on the favourite colour that is always sold out! Maybelline lipsticks are a very under-rated product; the colour range is great as is the price and the quality.

I have Red Rivival, it is very beautiful colour. I brought this when I went crazy buying lots of red lippys trying to find the right red and this is definitely one of my top reds. It is a very smooth texture and easy application (I keep a wipe on hand to fix it up if i go over my lip line).

I did find that it leaked a bit in my lip cracks but I have recently found out that that is my fault due to not going through proper lipstick application (lip exfoliation and lip liner is meant to help). This colour looks good on most people, I have dark hair and pale skin and it suits. I brought this thinking it would be darker than it appeared on, the little colour swatch on the packaging is a bit off. The lipstick tube is very pretty and different. I got this on sale, and I personally think the RRP is a bit too much.

I did not find it lasted all day - more like 3 hours before it started to leak but this could be because I had been using it wrong by not doing the recommended steps of exfoliation and lip liner. The lipstick smells nicer than others do but I do not personally love the smell.

I have quite a few of these beautiful creations in my collection!

The pigment is fantastic in these lipsticks, and the colour doesnt change after awhile on the lips, some of the pigments can be compared to higher end brands and are on par with them.

The formula is beautifully rich,creamy and moisturising, but doesn't feel cakey or heavy, and lasts for a good 5-6 hours on me, they go on smoothly and don't drag your lips.

They have such a variety of shades that you could always find your perfect shades, including the buffs and mattes.

I do find they have a slight fragrance to them, I actually think they smell like caramel. Yum!

But they also have a taste I can't describe, it dies down after 10 minutes or so, but I'm not too keen on the intial taste.

They are a fantastic price, for a good quality lippy, in great classy packaging.

Will definitely repurchase and pop a few in my make up kit

Just found this in my drawer, unopened - a random purchase last year that I forgot about. So I dug it out and wore it to work today. three of my co-workers noticed and I got compliments :-) lovely and buttery feeling, and a nice taste (I know I'm not supposed to eat it!) and not too bold ... I don't normally wear bright colours but will be making more of an effort from now on.

These lipsticks are fantastic! So pigmented and bright and there's so many shades to choose from. Lately these have been my first to go to when buying a new lippy and have just bought a few more colours because of Farmers sales. They last for hours and hours too, I've noticed if I put it on before I go out even after eating and drinking you barely need to reapply. Goes on so nice and smooth, next time I need a new colour I'll definately be checking out this range first. Nice to find an affordable brand that works so well.
