Vibrant Mandarin

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!

Buy from postie.

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.

Tips: go to postie lol

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.

Colour: Tantalizing Taupe

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.

low impact but pretty

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!

Tips: You'll get better staying power if you put a layer on, blot, dust with powder and repeat

Easy application

This lipstick is so easy to apply and the colours look great but it's just too creamy for me. I like lip colours that last and this product smeared and came off too easily. If you want your colour to last all day you have to keep reapply. It's really affordable though which is great, would just be nice if it stayed put a little longer than it does.

Prettiest Party Pink

I have been trying the Party Pink colour in the range of Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipsticks. It is totally satisfying and I should say that it is my favorite to be worn on a party evening. Provides such smooth application and the colors are not too bright or too dull. Just the perfect elegant look which a girl would love to have on her lips. I would strongly recommend this range to anyone who would like to try a good lipstick and sure you'll stick with it for long.

Tips: Use some moisturizer on your lips as this will help to blend the colour to adjust the shape of the lips.

Rich in colour and quality!

I got this in the September BRBB and let me tell you how much my heart skipped a beat! I love red as most of you know when it comes to lipstick so of course I hugged this to me and celebrated the fact that I had it in my hot ilttle hands. I have the colour Fatal Red which is the perfect shade of blood red. Its name is actually quite fitting.

The packaging itself is nothing too exciting. It is a silver tube with a blood red lid to try and depict the colour inside the tube. The packing is quite sturdy and doesn't feel like it would break in a hurry so these are all good things so far and ticks all my high expectation boxes.

The formula is quite smooth and velvet like. It glides on easily and makes it easy to get a perfect lip line without too much effort. The colour is very intense and highly pigmented. It is far more pigmented than I expected so am pleasantly surprised. The finish is satin which I love because it doesn't dry my lips out but it also doesn't wear off so fast that I need to keep re applying.

The smell is like a vanilla extract which makes it easier to wear without a yucky smell that lipstick often gives off. I have to say it's actually longer wearing than I would have thought. Of course after eating and drinking the lipstick has its wear marks but in its entirety it's still in tact and just needs a slight touch up to look perfect again. It nourishes my lips and keeps them from drying out in the elements which I love! All in all for the price it is a great lipstick with quality plus, plus

Tips: Use a lip scrub or a balm underneath to keep lips soft and nourished

Best of the beauty box!

This wee gem made its way into the beauty box. I had no expectations apart from the fact that the colour was amazing - I was going to make this work.

I applied it straight onto my lips. Lovely vivid colour (i have fifth avenue fuchsia) which actually last all night with minimal reapplication. Great moisturization and it didn't flake off at all. AMAZING!

It wore better than my NYX lipsticks (I expected that) and compared to the smooth application of my Mac lipsticks. At a great pricepoint and longevity this will be a repurchase for me. I have had a few winding issues with the lipstick but hey - the colour is amazing if it takes a wee bit to wind it's not the end of the world!

The prettiest pink I own!

I received this in the shade "904- vivid rose" in my September beauty box, which is a very pretty and vibrant bright pink! It is packaged in a pretty silver tube with a transparent bright pink lid. It has a nice subtle sweet scent- kind of like vanilla, or caramel. It applies very smoothly and has a very creamy texture & is very hydrating on my lips. It is also very long-lasting, as it seems to stain my lips- even when it has worn off a bit, they stay a pretty pink! It's such a bright fun colour, just as vibrant on my lips as it is on the tube, and I am very happy to have it in my collection- I really want to try out some more shades now! although i think this pink would still be my favorite :)
