Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick Review

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!

Cute packaging: pink, holographic, classic tube. Product: a little rigid (kind of like using a crayon) but that could be to do with the change in temperature heading into winter. Once on, it melts into my lips and feels buttery/silky. The pigmentation is strong, yet not over stated, shine is satin to semi high gloss (I will say it... it shimmers). It does have a slight tacky stickiness to it but not long lasting. Staying power is low, I found myself re-applying about every two hours or so. Scent is not overpowering (slight citrus notes) and it hasn't got a odd flavour to it either (wouldn't it be great if they tasted/smelt the way they name some of them).

I definitely stepped out of my comfort zone with this shade... Bubblegum pink is a bright baby pink... exactly like an old fashioned stick of bubblegum. It isn't a colour I would personally have picked out for myself but it is growing on me... just not for everyday wear; but has me looking at other shades to find one that I could wear daily.

My daughter loves the shade... . on HER :)

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.

I've had this lipstick in my collection for a long, long time. It's affordable, the packaging is simple yet nice, it's got a creamy texture and the colour is perfect for my complexion to be the right sort of 90's nude.

If you know Color Pop Lippie Stix, this is a lot like Lumiere but a bit more earthy brown.

This is definitely a staple in my lipstick collection.

I got this lipstick in Make Me Pink a few years ago - and it's been a constant repurchase for me over the years. It's a bright enough pink that flatters my natural lip colour, but doesn't wash them out or look too fake. It's a great consistency and doesn't emphasise lip creases or dryness as much as some other brands. The only problem I have with it is that the staying power isn't great, and whilst they look great, they are drying. However I will keep repurchasing this colour, as it's so affordable and just gorgeous.

Recently I have grabbed a few of these, making the most of the wonderful buy one get one free deal at Farmers.

The lipstick itself is wonderful, the strength in the product means its not too soft so that it snaps when applying it, and the pigmentation is quite high for the price, very unexpected. The packaging is cute in its colour matching lid to the actual shade, think that will come in handy with the upcoming darker, colder mornings where I'll be blindly swiping for a lipstick. Long lasting and a creamy texture on the lip means this is a perfect lipstick for everyday wear, only needed to top up after at least 5 hours of stay power.

I am in love with Party Pink! It is a darker shade than what I usually wear - it is more of a deep/dark reddy purple. The colour goes with any outfit, but can quite often smudge but it is worth having to reapply beacause it is a great colour on X

I mus confess i own more than one or two of these lipsticks. I was able to pick them up cheap at a beauty sale. The colour went on smooth and stayed on my lips for hours. It smudged when i ate or drank, but hey, that happens. It was very moisturising on my lips and didn't dry them out like some lipsticks do. It came in a very compact style and so fit in my make up bag easily without taking up too much room. They are my go to lipsticks because they're easy to apply and stay long as long as needed. The only downside is that because its very creamy and nourishing it doesn't take too many coats easy. It gets very liquid like on the lips, so if you need to re-apply, remove the existing lipstick first.

I have NEVER bought bright lipstick. I can be a super chicken when it comes to bold make up, and I've just never had the guts.

That changed with the BRBB. I received the Maybelline Colour Sensational lipstick in Fifth Ave Fuchsia, and I may just be a convert. It adds a delicious pop of colour, looking out of place.

The lipstick goes on beautifully, and has great staying power. I wore it to a glitzy awards night last week and only had to reapply once in 4 hours of eating & drinking!

It leaves your lips soft afterwards, and doesn't seem to leave it's mark on hubby too easily.

I have the lipsticks in bronze fire and pinkalicious. Both have glitter which does show up in the colour (which can be positive/negative depending on the situation). The colours are beautiful though they don't suit me (I was feeling a bit adventurous when buying). I don't like the fake sweet/flower smell as well which is why they're sitting at the bottom of my drawer at the moment, waiting for the odd moment when I want to try something a little different.
