Maybelline Color Sensational Color Elixir Lipstick Review

I was late to the party with this. I've watched quite a few YouTube clips with the girls saying how wonderful these are. I picked up two with the 2 for 1 special at Farmers & Life Pharmacies recently. I chose Raspberry Rhapsody & Mauve Mystique. I got home and tried them & was so impressed. They have a lovely texture, you don't feel like there is anything on your lips, they're very moisturising and best of all, they're not sticky. I went back the next day and grabbed Caramel Infused and Signature Scarlet. I love the Caramel Infused - it's a very natural & flattering colour. I like the packaging - very similar to Dior. The applicator is good too, I like the fine point so I can get a decent outline especially around the cupid's bow.

I'm glad the 2 for 1 special is over - otherwise there would've been two more making their way home with me! Two lip glosses for $20 is a bargain.

I normally don't reach for liquid lip products but this is an exception. I have just recently tried this and I love it. Normally I steer clear of liquid formulas because I don't like how sticky they are and most of the time they smell bad.

This liquid lipstick has a wicked formula which is long lasting and not too sticky. It doesn't smell bad (smells like grapes) and I like the colour range. At first when I got this I thought it was a normal lipstick. I attempted to open it like your average lipstick which was a fail since it surprisingly unscrews at the bottom and an applicator comes out. Liquid Power! The applicator is the perfect shape to get into all the different areas of my lips and its just the right texture. The formula is long lasting which is awesome. Really like this and I will be purchasing more colours of this liquid lipstick.

Glossy products aren't usually my thing, but I'm willing to pick up another Color Elixir any day!

The thing I like the most about this is it's moisturising property-sometimes, I smear a thin layer on my lips for a bit of colour that doubles as a lip balm.

This gives a lovely, even, vibrant layer of colour. Even though I own a fairly neutral light pink colour, the colour still shows on my fairly pigmented lips!

Like a typical gloss, it stays on for around two hours before you need to reapply again.

Extra points for the packaging: it's cute how the inner tube is the shape of a lipstick!

So, I own Mauve Mystique and Mandarin Rapture. I love the formula of these lipglosses! They don't feel sticky at all, but instead are rich and provide a high shine and pigment to lust after. Depending on how I feel, I sometimes wear one coat, or two. They are a versatile lippy and the colours are unique and there is one for every taste- bold or subtle. The lipgloss itself smells really nice and the applicator is a good shape to apply with. The only downside is that the wand is really short- but that's certainly not enough to put me off them! I luuuurve Color Elixir! I don't wear them everyday, more so on special occasions or going out. But if you're after a sexy pop of colour and an irresistible shine, look no further!

Lipglosses have never been my thing. I would see them and cringe while I shop in the beauty section. So I was very hesitant to purchase these. While at a store I saw one for $7 in the shade Vision in Violet as it is a beautiful colour and I don't own any purple lip colours.

Firstly, the packaging is beautiful to look at and of great quality wish to me is a must have with any makeup. At firstglance the applicatormay put you off but I love the shape it has and the way it applys. you can get right into the corners and it doesn't end up everywhere. I pumped the applicator a few times and applied to my lips, making sure to rub it in quite firmly. If you don't I find it sits on your lips and it wears off a lot faster.

So did I like it? The colour payoff was incredible. For a gloss I did not expect much and was overwhelmed by the pigment that it could produce. The formula was nourishing and very comfortable to wear. The wear was about the same as most of my lipsticks, if not lasting abit longer!

Am I sold? Well, I have just over half the collection now, so to al those that would have been in my boat at the start, it is definitely worth trying them.

I have this in the shade make me pink (which appears to now be a discontinued shade). I was hoping this shade would be a 'my lips but better' shade, but unfortunately it is too shimmery and glossy, so comes across as a little 80's looking, on me at least. It is a very glossy, quite sticky application. As far as a gloss type product the packaging is quite innovative, with the shade of a lipstick, which then unscrews with a gloss applicator. This would make storage a lot easier being that it will store in a lipstick holder. I am not huge on glossy formula's, so would probably not use this again.

I had seen Shaanxo's youtube video about these elixir's on her channel, and thought they looked absolutely amazing! The next time I seen them, I picked it up in the shade 105- Polished Petal which I can't seem to find anywhere now.. I was so excited to give it a try, as it was a nude colour, and I didn't want to go for one of the bright colours straight away. The application wand is abit different, but I found it useful and easy to use. The application feels very sticky, even with pumping it a few times. I was abit dissapointed that the colour didn't turn out as good as I had thought, but maybe I got a colour that matches my lips abit too closely. Overall, I would repurchase in any other colour, might try one of the brighter ones. I would be willing to give it a go, just didn't like how it made my lips feel sticky after applying.

I picked up this product in Petal Plush, and find that it's not exactly what I had wanted.

Although I've seen it applied before, I didn't expect it to be quite so sticky. It was very silky, but I found that I didn't like the feeling on my lips.

I guess I was expecting it to feel more like a lipstick than a gloss - since it is called a lipstick and not a gloss - so I was disappointed with that.

I probably won't pick it up again, and definitely not for the price I paid for it.

I love the color i got an its smell is so yummy . i like the applicator spongy wand thing its easy to apply an you never use to much , i found the formula thick an glossy i really love the one i have an want more. i found it lasted long an didnt stain my lips. i used a lip primer an i found it made the color change an went tacky an sticky .

It started with a sample product and it ended (?) with me having 7 colors and even got all of my best friends one. What can I say? I just like the way it is a gloss but also a lipstick and the way it makes my lips feel... Rose redefined and petal blush are my favs.
