Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick Review

I picked up one of these in the BRBB last year and almost never wear it; I've tried to the last few days as I'm working through things in my makeup stash to see what needs keeping, and I actually like it more than I thought i did.

The Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick range comes in silver tubes with a bright casing reminiscent of the old 'jewel' cd covers for burnable cds (showing my age here, maybe!). I have 904: Vivid Rose, which is a bright hot pink.

This swatches quite brightly, is but actually more subtle on the lips. The formula feels stable int hat it doesn't feel like it's slipping and sliding around - but it is slightly tacky. It transfers like mad, but does leave a pink stain on lips that means they look pretty even once the majority has worn off.

I'm hugely into matte liquids right now but this is a casual 'slick on and go' option that I really must start using more often!

This lipstick has a nice creamy texture and applies so well. It has a pleasant sweet scent to it. Unfortunately, this nude colour is a bit too light for my skin tone and doesn't really match, so I normally use it to mix with my darker lippies to create another colour. I brought this lippie from my pharmacy on sale for like $7. I will definitely repurchase other colours, as the love the creaminess of the actually product - I just won't be repurchasing this same colour. The staying power isn't that amazing, but it is so easy to reapply, it doesn't bother me.

I have this in the bold matte range. The colour is matte one, and this colour is very light. It comes off lighter than the colour of the tube. I thought this colour would be a nice coral pinky red, one that would be perfect for wearing in summer. However, this colour is more of a light hot pink that came off lighter on my lips. Because I have more olive toned skin its not really a suitable shade for me.

One thing I didn't like about this product was how this lipstick really bought out the cracks and dryness in my lips. You therefore need to make sure you exfoliate and apply lots of lip balm beforehand. Even when I apply lip balm and exfoliate prior to apply this lipstick I still find it really drying. My lips start to dry out quite quickly. I guess that's the downside to a matte lipstick though.

The staying power also isn't that great with this lipstick, and I would also recommend wearing a lip liner underneath so that the colour lasts longer. For a matte lipstick I was expecting it to last at least 4 hours.

The lipstick comes in a rectangular matte finish casing, that I find to be a bit more bulky and bigger than my other lipsticks than I'm used to. I do however like the matte red casing over the lipstick tube.

Overall, am disappointed with this product and would not purchase it again.

i buy mine from postie because they are $8 there which is an awesome bargain for lppy since they are normally $19-$21 , they are such good products for little amount of money , formula isn't dry on the sky either.

I brought my lipstick online for a very reasonable price, the shade I chose was vibrant mandarin because I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and go for something a little risque.

I think the packaging is very simple and nice and easy to work with, I feel that the lid wont come off in my handbag and tarnish everything!

I couldn't stop smelling this product, it just smelt weird. I think I liked it? I think I didn't.. I don't know but its all I could smell. It was almost like the smell of candy, turkish delight and a cleaning product all mixed up into one... Hmm?

I found the lipstick really creamy, you definetely need a light touch for this one. It was so creamy that it kind of ended up everywhere once I had it on.. Ummm?

The colour however was outstanding, I was really pleased with the shade I chose. It kind of reminded me of something Taylor swift would wear pre met gala ;)

I would say give this lippy a go and try the different shades, I don't think it would handle a night out on the town though... I feel that it would be a bit messy to keep!

I like the packaging of these - they have a vibrant lid that allows you to determine the colour of the lipstick you are using. It clicks on securely so you don't have to worry about it coming off in your purse.

I have the colour 904 Vivid Rose which is a bright, bold, cool toned pink. It is extremely creamy and it super easy to apply, but it is so creamy that it can smear easily.

Also, because it's so creamy, it doesn't last very long and you have to reapply. It does leave a bit of a stain so if you couldn't be bothered to reapply, you still look presentable.

The lippy itself is super pigmented and one swipe will do the trick.The smell of the lippy is kinda like candy, but not quite so some might not like it.

While you are wearing it, it's quite moisturising, but I find that with time, it seems to dry out my lips and leaves cracks being more prominent which isn't ideal.

It's a decent lipstick, but I feel like a nude would be better since it wouldn't be so obvious if it smears.

I purchased this lippy as it was the closest colour I could find to match my outfit at the time. I liked the pretty coloured lid with the stylish silver tube. Born with it has a slight shimmer aswell it's was a light colour and looks nice. I did have to retouch during the day. I normally just pick lippy for the colour it doesn't matter what brand but I liked this one so I think I'll be checking this one fist in the future.

When I bought this lipstick that time I didn't bought anything from Maybelline that was my first Maybelline product. There was beauty sale in farmers that time I bought nude lipstick and it's called "totally toffee". This is very nude shade for my mac nc42 skin ( as reference). But if you want bold eyes then try these colour might you like it.

Packaging is like Maybelline standard lipstick. Maroon red lid with silver bullet. As nothing special about it. Name say totally toffee and it smells like caramel toffee according to me. It's not matte or creamy like both however after couples hours my lips feel dry and lipstick feel bit heavy too.

Lipstick is little bit opaque on my lips. I tried 2 or 3 swipes but don't work properly. If swipe more than that I feel awful. Lipstick doesn't long last on my lips after 2 hours, it's start to fading and feeling dry. I didn't eat however. I think product doesn't work for me.

I wouldn't buy it again. I would rather spend money on good lipstick.

I adore all the colours in this range and currently own about 4. I use them when I need a pop of colour on my face. The are nicely pigmented and provide that little bit extra for your makeup. I will be buying more colours as soon as I can.

This lipstick is nicely packaged with a solid attractive case. I chose the colour are you red-dy 625 which I found to be just a bit too much red for my skin tones. Good pigment, a little too matte for my liking though and used lip gloss over the top. I will try a colour more suited to me next time, I hear this is often on special at Postieplus.
