Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick Review

I would have LOVED this lipstick.. If it weren't for this colour. I got this as part of a mystery make up bag and oh my gosh the colour is awful. It's brown, not even a nudey brown, a glittery, shiny, unflattering straight up brown. I honestly don't know who would be able to pull off a look like that. Certainly not me.

The formula felt quite nice. It was quite creamy and very easy to apply, with a vibrant colour and very opaque. But the colour.. just no.

The first time I reviewed these lippies, I was pretty passionate and adoring of them because I was new to the beauty scene, probably 13, and they were the first lipsticks I'd ever had. Now, reflecting back... I used a lip balm first, although the lipsticks are creamy, the lipstick feels uncomfortable on its own and caused my lips to start flaking. These lipsticks are very bright and bold in colour, and there are quite a few shades in this range to choose from. I wouldn't like to wear these again however, the colours are plasticky looking and 'garish'. When I see old photos of me wearing it, it doesn't look to me. Overall these were a fun, cheap introduction to lipsticks :)

I love most maybelline products, so when I got this in the mail I was so excited and surprised! Many ladies on here also won one of these lipsticks. Lucky us!

Firstly, the packaging is super cute- my colour I got as a prize was a nude pink. So the case was a adorable pink case, that looks so feminine and pretty.

The colour unfortunately doesn't suit me, as it is slightly lighter than my lips, and I am just too pale for this colour - which is a shame! The colour is a frosty nude, which is not normally a colour I go for.

I can't say I'm a fan of the formula either. It glides over your lips nicely, but it isn't very hydrating at all. The frosty colour really accentuated my dry lips, not a good look at all. I don't feel like this lipstick lived up to it's claim of being nourishing or sensational!

In addition to this, the formula doesn't stay on for long at all, one drink and it didn't look like I was wearing any lipstick.

Overall, I'm quite disappointed with this lipstick and wouldn't repurchase. Maybe it's better for ladies who don't have dry lips.

Unfortunately, I would not recommend this lipstick. I'm glad it was a freebie!

I was gifted one of these lip sticks and I loved the colour. It is extremely glossy and goes on smoothly. Unfortunately the colour did not last for long, as soon as you have a drink the lipstick is left behind on your glass. If you are looking for a long lasting lipstick this is not for you. I found that it was more like a lip gloss then lipstick.

It is really good that is quite readily available in most Pharmacy's and in Farmers and some super markets. I do really like the packaging and I love the smell of it as well.

I find these quite drying, they felt beautiful going on, but with in 10 minutes my lips were feeling dry.

Because of this I found that the lipstick didn't last long because I was constantly moving my lips searching for moisture.

I won't be purchasing these again, but will use them while I have them.

I had always wanted a red lipstick but had never gotten around to getting any. So as a last minute dash, on my way to a night out i knew red lippy would be the perfect accessory so i stopped in at thewarehouse to get some. As i said i had never owned red lipstick before let alone used it so i had no idea what i was looking for. I saw the maybelline range and thought that it was my best bet because it's a well established brand. I got the colour fatal red 530 without having testers to swatch and was plesantly surprised upon opening the packet. The lipstick comes in a plastic silver tube and red plastic casing and smells and looks amazing. I have olive skin so the warm red works well with my colour and the creamy buttery texture is a real treat for my lips and doesnt dry them out. The only downside to this lippy is it doesnt last long, i had to keep re-applying and as the drinks were flowing this was happening less and less as the night went on. It's a shame the colour doesnt last long because it is a beautiful color and has a good texture, great for a lipstick beginner like myself.

I have one of these lispticks in the Mango Diamonds shade and although it was SUPER SUPER moisturising i found that it behaved a lot more like a tinted lip balm than a lipstick. the colour was very sheer and transparent and there was a little too much gloss in it which made it last a very short amount of time. the way i solved this problem though was that i de-tubed it and put it in a little lip balm pot. i still use it and i like it a lot better now.

I've seen these lipsticks being sold almost everywhere. After much thought about it I thought I would try one of these lipsticks out. I purchased my lippy from Postie Plus. I like going there because I'm guaranteed to find a bargain in there.

Maybelline lip stick comes in a sturdy plastic and silver casing. The outer cases of these lip sticks represent the shade of lip sticks inside. The colour I chose is Champayne shimmer. I was wanting a nude.

The texture of this lipstick is smooth. It does have a weird smell. Not sure how to describe it. When I apply this to my lips they feel hydrated. This lipstick does come off with meals. It will need to be re applied.

I was lucky to score mine for $2 from Postie Plus on a sale. I notice them at Bucket sales for about $8. At full price you'll be looking at paying $20. All up an ok lipstick. I would love to try a brighter colour and report back.

I feel like it dries out my lips and not very pigmented and not long lasting. You have to re-apply it. I did not like the fragrance of the lipstick. Smell weird as. The packaging is not very fancy beautiful appealing to me. I ended up pretty much throw it away because I can't use it

I tried this lipstick as part of a long lasting lipstick quest. The colour was well pigmented and the resulting colour nice and strong, however the lipstick smeared quite easily which is not all that practical when on your lips which move regularly to talk, eat, drink, subconsciencely lick or bite your lips etc. I did find pairing the lipstick with a lip liner greatly reduced this.

In terms of longevity this lipstick didn't have quite the staying power I would expect from a Maybelline lipstick. What Maybelline did meet expectations on was the range of lipstick colours available. Plenty of selection as usual. They also meet expectation by creating a lipstick that felt creamy and smooth to wear.

In terms of packaging, stylish and simple. And a classic bullet lipstick in a retractable lipstick tube.

It looked pretty but for the price I think I could possibly find better.
