REVIEW: Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipsticks

 

 

Who isn't loving a matte lip these days!? They are all the craze and not surprisingly so because they make any makeup look more fabulous than it already was. I had heard SO many great things about the Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipsticks so a few months ago I went to Rite Aid to pick up a few ... well, everyone else must've heard about them to because they were practically sold out. They only had 1 color (Lust for Blush) and I was so eager to try it out that I picked up this color(even though I'm usually not into pink lipsticks). I quickly became OBSESSED with the texture and feel of this lipstick so I went back, praying they'd have more colors in stock. I bought Nude Embrace, Touch of Spice, and Divine Wine. I've swatched all the colors so you can see them below.

Finding a creamy matte lipstick is so hard. They always tend to be drying and make your lips look flakey - for me, at least. Now, I wouldn't call these lipsticks hydrating, but they sure are creamy! The pigmentation is fabulous and there is great color pay off. I usually apply a lip balm underneath and the lipstick still glides on with tons of color. The color lasts on the lips for many hours and it doesn't dry out the lips after wearing for a full day. Some lipsticks that go on creamy tend to dry shortly after putting them on; this one remains a creamy consistency, but still looks matte.

The range of colors in this lipstick is great - there are 10 colors total. The are some nudes, some pinks, and some reds; and all the colors are gorgeous. As of now I'd have to say my favorite color is Touch of Spice. It's very similar to Mac's twig which I also love. It's great for everyday makeup looks but can also work for dramatic looks such as a dark smokey eye.

Yesterday I wore minimal makeup (it was Sunday!). I applied Touch of Spice with Mac's Soar lipliner and Nar's Orgasm lipgloss just in the center of the lip. Let me tell you - it looked gorg! Nothing to spice up a minimal makeup look like a nice lippie!

I really have nothing bad to say about these lipsticks - I guess I could say I wished they had more nudes or more colors in general? But, the 10 colors they do have are amazingly beautiful! And you definitely cannot beat the drugstore price! I've seen the prices range from about $6 to $8. You could buy all 10 of these for roughly the same price as 2-3 high end lipsticks.
