MAYBELLINE NEW YORK COLOR SENSATIONAL LIPCOLOR

I'm amazed that I'm so late discovering Maybelline's lipsticks. I bought two this weekend - Dusty Rose, from the Color Sensational range, and Pure Plum, from the Moisture Extreme range, and am super-satisfied with both. Great quality, lasts four or five hours at a stretch, does not feather, and fades gracefully. I originally paid a visit to the MAC store and then just got annoyed by their usual pa...read morele, western colours that make olive-skinned South Asian women like myself look like we have pneumonia. I've fallen prey to these shades before, and have several very expensive MAC lipsticks lying around that I'm simply unable to use. I moved on to the Maybelline counter and discovered that Maybelline sells its lipsticks at ONE-FIFTH the price of MAC, their range of colours is far more exciting and experimental, and the quality of their stuff is very satisfying. I've also discovered that these lipsticks are truly moisturising and do not dry out your lips at the end of the day, unlike many other brands. Will recommend and repurchase without a doubt. I love this lipstick! it has so many colors to choose from but right now i only have 'make me pink'. the formula is creamy and not too sticky. stays on for quite a while and if you like matte lipstick but not dry, this is for you. it gives a tiny bit of shine without looking too wet. the price is good for the quality of the product and the packaging is cute! the only thing is that the silver part of the tube came out of the bottom but i just screwed it back on. i will definitely buy many more of these! The best shades are Pink Please and Born With It. The other shades don't impress me. I don't get why Pink Please was discontinued because frankly it was the best pink ever. And it sold pretty well. The people at Maybelline are dumb. Born with it is good but the shimmer just annoys me. The other pinks in the Color Sensational line is just bah- too dark. What Maybelline and others need to have is a nice pink nude, no shimmer or anything. Just a nice creamy pink nude or nude brown. Cause this is what customers want. Look at Rimmel's Moisture Renew lipstick in nude delight, its the best selling shade cause its just such a beautiful nude.

Awesome lipstick!!

I really love this line, I usually shy away from drug store brands because they can be so iffy(but with a resonable price tag). But I heard good things about this line and needed a nice nude lipstick. I went with the shade: Totally Toffee and I LOVE it!! It wasn't exactly the nude I was looking for but it is very very nice. The formula is rich and creamy and the colour is true to what you see ...read moreand stays that way. It lasts for a good long while as well, even through coffee and other foods and does not bleed or transfer to your teeth. I was confident buying this as well because the price is so reasonable! $6 for a lipstick is good with me!! I do love higher end brands but after having a baby it's fair to say I need to cut down on the spending and I've found my new go-to lipstick. The packaging I felt was a little cheap, however it does make the lipstick easy to find in my makeup drawer when I look in and see a shade close to what I was looking for. I will be buying this again, it was worth every penny and was even better then a lot of high end brands I've gotten stuck with over the years.

awesome lipstick

i love the shape of this lipstick. its quite easy to apply. also, the variety of shades makes it easy to find the perfect shade. the consistency isn't too thick and it never feels cakey. the lipstick isnt sheer and is very pigmented, which i loved. i highly recommend these cheap, long lasting lipsticks!
