Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick Review

I've been looking for a perfect brown lipstick (a la Shelley from Twin Peaks) for a long time now, and that dream was recently fulfilled when I was given a Colour Sensational Honey Beige lipstick as a gift. It glides on so easily and feels so smooth on your lips. It's got a great amount of pigment to it and seems to last a while without any smudging or cracking. In saying that, I wouldn't want to eat or drink with it because being so buttery, it does transfer really easily. The bullet is nice and narrow so it's easy to apply accurately without a brush. It does have a really faint smell to it that is hard to describe, it's not really noticeable enough to be a turnoff though. I don't think the packaging looks that great, but it works and honestly that's not what I'm buying it for anyway. The shade itself is gorgeous, I'm very very happy with how it looks on.

My mum brought me this lippy, in the dark plummy color (not sure of the name of it) its the third one in the picture and I absolutely love it. It is my daily go to lippy because its not overly dark or extreme in any way, it is more of a subtle dark purple. I love it, it has a smooth consistency. But it for me it doesn't last as long as I would prefer but it still is my fave <3

Have recently bought a few of these lipsticks (mostly nudes and Browns) and love them for the price! Good everyday colours that I love to keep in my handbag or car for touch ups!

My absolute favourite deep red lippy comes from this range. It's glides on easily and with a wide collection of beautiful colours every girl will find something to suit her! My first downside with this lipstick is that it tends to dry my lips out quite a lot...but I love the colour so much I keep using it anyway. The second is that it smudges quite easily which isn't ideal for eating, drinking etc. again though the colour totally wins through!

Definitely one of my favourite lippy brand - have a few in various colours. Love how easy they are to apply and how smooth and creamy they feel... Moisture and color-stay factors are a definite bonus!

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).

I was very lucky to receive a lipstick in my September beauty box. I received a bright orange colour which I think is super gorgeous. The lipstick itself is very creamy and mosturizing. It doesn't dry up my lips.

This lipstick is super creamy, which I love, however the creaminess also means it tends to smudge quite easily. It gets on every glass I drink from, and on all the food I eat, but despite all that it never seems to have noticeably come off from that, I find I don't actually need to reapply every time I eat or drink. The colours are wonderful and are nicely pigmented. Overall I love these lipsticks but beware of smudging and lipstick marks on everything!

Another great lipstick brand that creates lipsticks in a variety range of colours and finishes.

Their lipsticks are creamy to apply, great coverage of colour and none tried have been patchy or become flaky throughout the day. They can be rather slippery especially the glossy versions but with the use of a lip pencil there is no drama.

I adore the packaging that the lids match the colour of the lipstick which makes it really easy to find the colour you want at a glance.

I have a pinky-coral one of these lipsticks and it’s so gorgeous, not drying and long lasting as well, for the price these are really good and I’d happily repurchase these if it wouldn’t take so long to finish a lipstick. I like how there are so many colours of these, there's a shade for everyone out there. It still needs a lip balm underneath though as it’s not moisturising, but it won’t dry your lips any further.
