Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick Review

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.

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.

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 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.

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!
