Awful!

I purchased one of these last week, and straight away hated it! it acts as more of a glossy lip balm! no pigment and fades away! sinks into lines and transfers like crazy! overpriced as well!

Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick

I received the Vivid Rose which is too pink for me. Luckily I went to the pharmacy and tried the tester and knew immediately it was not my colour. I will be giving this product to my daughter who loves the colour and Maybelline lipsticks.

Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick

This product was on sale and their weren't any testers available, so on a whim I decided to buy the product anyway based on the colour shown on the packet. When I took the product out of the packaging, it was a completely different colour to what was advertised. The lipstick itself is quite good as it leaves your lips feeling soft and doesn't dry them out like other lipsticks I have tried, but as this isn't a long lasting lipstick you do have to keep reapplying it often.

Tips: Use a tester when selecting a colour, don't go off the shade shown on the packet

Not A Fan

I've wanted this forever, and I was so ecstatic when I received this in the mail, apparently winning it in a competition along with a bunch of other BRAs.

Firstly, the packaging is misleading, what I thought would be a great purple because of the packaging ended up being a nude (which I was thankful for, because I love nudes).

Secondly, the formula is this creamy, buttery consistency, almost like a lip balm/gloss which isn't probably the worst thing, but it came off like nothing on this earth. The staying power is so poor!

It's a shimmery lipstick, but the colour of the nude didn't really show up on my lips or on my mother's when I gave it to her to try as well.

I know a lot of women love this lipstick, but it's just not for me.

Not impressed

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.

Tips: use lip balm underneath as the lipstick is quite drying.

Totally toffee

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.

Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick

Not a bad lip product but the one thing that really annoys me about it is that the colour of the packaging really doesn't match the colour of the lipstick! I bought it from a shop that didn't have a tester and the lid looks quite coral but the lipstick itself is a hot pink. It also isn't that creamy - I find it dries my lips out.

Not my fave

I saw so many youtube gurus use these so I really wanted to try them. When I did I wasnt all that impressed. The texture is soft buttery and creamy but the pay of on me is quite sheer for my liking. I prefer it to be really opaque.

Product works well but its just not my cup of tea. Not a fan of frost type lipsticks or any sort of shimmery lipstick so when I used it I wasnt too impressed. I tried to like it but it just wasnt working for me. The packaging is really pretty though so they did really well on that.

Tips: Definitely use a lip liner.

Okay lipstick for the price

The colours are very pretty, but the nude ones feel a bit chalky and are not very intense. I do not find the lipstick very lasting or hydrating. It is a good lipstick for the price, so I would consider to repurchase, but I was not wow'ed.

Nudey Nude

Another product I was lucky enough to get in the beauty box (September box). I’m not 100% sure, but I think the colours in the BB were Pink, Orange, Red and Brown and I got a beautiful nude colour in my box which was called Honey Beige. I was so excited because my collection is seriously lacking in nudes.

This lipstick comes in a simple square based 'bullet' with a brown plastic lid. I have to admit, the packaging does nothing for me, but it’s simple and the lid stays on so it does the job well. However, it does not get a proud spot on my makeup vanity.

The formula of this lipstick is really nice in regards to application. It applies smoothly, and has a nice satin finish. It also feels moisturizing which is another bonus. For me, personally, this nude colour washed me out. It was just too light for my NC42 skin which is a real shame. I also find after application this lipstick only lasted 40-ish minutes before needing to be reapplied which is just way too high maintenance for me.

Overall, a nice lipstick if you can find a colour that works for you and if you don't mind reapplying often. For me however, I probably will not be repurchasing.
