Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick Review

These lipsticks are a creamy sensation of texture and colour. The clear tinted tube is a great, attractive way to package a good product. A big plus for my makeup collection!

A pretty decent lippie in the market! Long lasting and love all the shade ranges on this line. Really pigmented formula thats easy to apply and doesn't dry my lips out (I have dry lips most of the time)

Recently I have grabbed a few of these, making the most of the wonderful buy one get one free deal at Farmers.

The lipstick itself is wonderful, the strength in the product means its not too soft so that it snaps when applying it, and the pigmentation is quite high for the price, very unexpected. The packaging is cute in its colour matching lid to the actual shade, think that will come in handy with the upcoming darker, colder mornings where I'll be blindly swiping for a lipstick. Long lasting and a creamy texture on the lip means this is a perfect lipstick for everyday wear, only needed to top up after at least 5 hours of stay power.

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 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 was lucky enough to be able to try out this product for BR and I was excited and also nervous about which colour I would get!

I received a bright orange lipgloss, on first glance the colour looks very bright in the tube and I also like the sleek squared design of the tube. It has a silver lid and no big ugly writing all over it so I think it's quite sophisticated really. The colour that goes on your lips is quite rich and true to what colour you see inside the tube. It has an easy to use soft tip applicator, I found it great to apply and it didn't run outside the edges of my lips. It smells quite sweet, it actually sort of reminds me of kids antibiotics, not in a bad way though. The formula is not super glossy but it is not sticky feeling at all and it lasts for a decent amount of time. I experimented with eating and drinking while wearing it and while it does come off a bit (I think most glosses and lipsticks do anyway!) it seems to fade evenly and takes quite a bit of drinking or eating to make it completely come off.

Final thoughts? After trialling this, it has made me want to use some more of their products and maybe even go a bit crazy with my colours! This is definitely not a colour I would have picked up in a store if I had bought it (I'm a nude and light pink girl), but trying it out has made me want to try more brighter glosses now and I like how this is non sticky and decent lasting.

Always on the lookout for a great red lipstick, I bought Red Revival a few months back on a whim. I am pleased that I did because I have found a sweet, hot, true red lip colour. The formulation glides on easily straight from the stick or with a brush. It has a nice texture on the lips, moist without feeling greasy or heavy. The colour has good depth and a nice satin finish. Staying power is average, expect to reapply and beware that it will 'feather' into the lines around the mouth if given a chance. So far, so good. I would have given this lipstick a higher score except for a couple of things; the fragrance is decidedly naff but fortunately doesn't hang around or impart a flavour taint to food and drink, also the plastic packaging which starts off looking quite sleek and smart has become decidedly scuffed and tatty in my makeup purse.

i won one of these and so didn't get to pick my colour. i wasn't too worried as i wear any colour really. i got the bright red and it is definitly a bright red lol. while this went on fairly well i felt like it didnt quite last on my lips as well as it could have. i still think its a good lippy just not the best ive tried

I was extremely lucky to get a couple of the bad boys in a lucky dips mystery make up bag! I've been stalking these lipsticks for the longest time but somehow just couldnt convince my bank account to give up $20 a lipstick.

First impression: These lipsticks are housed in a hard plastic shell which I'm not too crazy about because plastic gives makeup the appearance of being cheap according to me :). This lipstick is quite unique for it signature cocoa butter smells that I love. Its just a subtle fragrance so ladies who dont like a scented lipstick should be fine to use this.

Using the lipstick. I always use lipstick straight from the bullet and this consistency is creamy, opaque, silky and just the slightest bit of glossiness to it. I must admit I'm not a fan of matt lipsticks because I find them very drying, so these lipsticks are perfect for my wants. The colours are very pigmented and opaque so one or two swipes should be plenty for full colour and coverage.

The lipsticks are very moisturising and I particularly like them now thats a winter because they are helping to moisturise my very dry lips. The lasting power is about 3-4 hours for me and even when I eat and drink I loose too much of colour. I find myself touching up my lipstick probably once a day after the first application in the morning.

I wear it almost everyday to work ranging from red to cocoa and copper brown so they've become a staple in my daytime make up.

If you love opaque, pigmented, slight glossiness and lots of moisture in a lipstick then I would recommend you try these lipsticks. They really are sensational!
