I recently received some gorgeous Maybelline New York Color Sensational Lipsticks to for my honest review. I love Maybelline New York. The products are really nice quality and affordably priced.
I want to focus my review on two of their lipsticks lines — the Color Sensational Matte Metallics Lipstick and the Color Sensational Powder Matte Lipstick:
So pretty! Doesn’t this make you want to play with lipstick? This is almost the full shade range of the Metallic Mattes ($7.49 USD). I am only missing the shade Silk Stone. The shades I have are from left to right — White Gold, Pure Gold, Copper Spark, Hot Lava, Copper Rose, Molten Bronze, Smoked Silver, Gunmetal and Serpentine.
Here are the swatches:
This give a very matte finish with a subtle metallic gleam. It feels comfortable on even though it is matte. It does have honey in it for hydration.
I really love most of these shades and can see myself wearing the first three. They will be especially gorgeous in the summer time The others are a bit bold for me, but maybe for nights out. But if you want a bold metallic matte, try one of the more fun colors like Copper Rose or Serpentine.
These are the shades available in the Color Sensational Powder Matte Lipstick ($7.49 USD). These colors are cool, concrete colored shades: Cruel Ruby, Nocturnal Rose, Carnal Brown, Concrete Jungle and Smoky Jade.
Swatch time:
You can tell that this is an extreme matte finish. It goes on matte and stays matte for hours. Cruel Ruby looked the best on me, which is strange because I usually only wear nudes and pinks. This is a gorgeous shade, though. Really rich. I think I can pull it off because it is a matte.
I think both of these collections are really different and fun. I think that if you like unusual shades along with pretty reds and pinks, you will enjoy these lipsticks!
What’s your go to lipstick brand and shade?
