Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick Review

I received my fourth one of these in the September beauty box which as a nude. I think these products are great value for money particularly in New Zealand. However i did find that in some of my lighter pink colours they could be a little bit patchy, they also dont have the same staying power as I would like, so they do require reapplication throughout the day. Despite that there is a huge range of colours to pick from which makes it great to find the right shade that you are looking for. they are also very creamy and easy to apply.

I received this lipstick in the September beauty box. I for the shade ‘Vivid Rose’. This is a great colour, and great quality lipstick. It’s quite matte but I like this in a lipstick, it makes it stay on your lips a lot longer than glossy lipsticks. The colour is great, it’s so colourful and really brightens up your face, and it gives you a completely different look! It applies smoothly and evenly, and like I said it stays on it’s almost like a lip stain. Great product, I think I might have to buy it in red!!

I received this lipstick with the September Beauty Box in the shade 530 Fatal Red. It saved me purchasing a new lippy for Halloween (red themed devil makeup), and I was quite surprised that for a creamy lipstick it was not messy during and after application (left it on for an hour). The best thing was it made your lips look luscious!

I recieved this lipstick in my Sept BRBB, and I love the colour Electric Orange 912 it is very similar in shade to MAC Morage just not as pigmented giving it a bit more of a natural look, I would definitly recommend if you want to branch out into the oranges but want something not too bold. They are creamy and apply smoothly but I did feel that they faded quickly throughout the day and required a few re-applications. The other colours of from this range look fantastic and I cannot wait to try some of the others!

I was very lucky to receive this in the September BRBB I received the colour 728 honey beige which is a nude colour on the browner side.

The lid is a sheer nude colour indicating the colour of the lipstick, with a silver tube that is square at the bottom.

Two swipes over the lips leaves good colour and no streaks. The formula of this lipstick is nice, it's very creamy and glides on easily and best of all it feels quite moisturising on the lips. The finish is great it's not too glossy or look like it's going to slide off. It lasts 2-3 hours before I have to reapply, which is pretty average for me I swear I eat it off my lips half the time without even knowing. This has a slight "lipstick" scent.. It's that kind of talcum powder scent.

Overall this is a nice lipstick and I can see myself wearing it quite often.

I was lucky enough to get the September Beauty Box with a colour called Coffee Craze in it. It's a darker nude than I would normally have picked for myself but I must say I was impressed!

It's super creamy and easy to apply, and it a really nice day-to-day lipstick.

I didn't find the staying power that great, but then again it is very creamy and slips around a lot. This might be because I generally apply lip balm first (as I have quite cracked lips).

These are pretty good lipsticks for the drugstore / mass retail arena. The color choices are excellent as there are so many and what's good is there are a number of shades with a satin or creme finish as I do not like glitter or shimmer. The formula is smooth and not drying. I could do without the smell,which smells exactly like L'OREAL,which in turn,owns Maybelline so no surprise there. The staying power isn't that great but apply,blot,and apply and that seems to increase wear time.
