Maybelline Coloursensational Lipstick Reviews

Since it's finally warmer I think it's time to whip out these two gorgeous colours of lipstick from Maybelline. I bought these a couple of months ago and never got around to using them because I've been using my Max Factor Elixir stick in Vibrant Pink (which i absolutely love). But here I have from Maybelline the Colour Sensational The Shine in Mango Diamonds (top left) and Colour Sensational Vivids in Fuchsia Flash (top right). I don't do many lipstick reviews but I like to do my 'three kiss test' so you can see how much it transfers and how much product is left on the lips and also a smudge test.

Warning: a very photo heavy post!

Swatch - Fuchsia Flash & Mango Diamonds (left: no flash, right: flash)

You can see a huge difference between both pictures, initially it is a very vibrant Fuchsia which I think is quite similar to the MaxFactor Elixir stick but I still think its gorgeous. I don't find it overly dry or moisturising and it seems just right. After the Three Kiss Test the colour isn't completely gone but there is a signficant difference.

Can you see a huge difference from my hand swatch to the colour on my lips? There doesn't seem like there any lipstick on, it looks more like a gloss. Very disappointed since it's quite sheer and its just not showing up as gorgeous as the swatch was. Even after the Three Kiss Test you can see that the glossiness has just disappeared.

These two lines of lipstick by Maybelline have been released quite some time, the more recent line by Maybelline is the Whisper line which I have yet to try but pop online to Priceline they still have the 50% off Maybelline until tomorrow.
