Over the last I guess you could say almost year I have fallen in love with matte lip products.
And of course this meme jumped in my head when I wrote that above sentence. Today I am going to bringing you my views on the new Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipsticks. That is a mouthful.
I first heard about these through Nouveau Cheap which if you haven't heard of G. and her amazing beauty on budget blog. I seriously check her blog pretty much everyday to see whats about to hit the drugstores beauty wise.
When I read that Maybelline was going to be launching a matte lipstick line I was super excited since at the time my favorite matte lippies were made by Revlon. I am a huge fan of the Color Burst Matte Balms. Number 250 Standout is my go-to red lippie.
So I waited patiently for them to arrive at my local drugstore. The first one I wanted to pick up was Touch Of Spice, which reminds me quite a bit of the Gerard Cosmetics Lipstick 1995 which was created by Jaclyn Hill. Photos I have seen online pretty much show Touch Of Spice is an exact dupe for it.
The second one I got but didn't necessarily plan on getting, because god knows I need more lipsticks, but I couldn't pass up Divine Wine, which is a red but its more of a vampy dark red. Its darker than Revlon's Standout. I was inspired to buy this because of the lovely YouTuber Zoella. I have always seen her rocking a dark red lip and I wanted to try too.
The texture of these lipsticks are amazing, they are super creamy and smooth. They don't dry out your lips like some mattes can do. I will say these lipsticks have a scent to them, but I don't find it unpleasant. To me it smells kind of vanilla-y. Plus I don't smell it at all after applying it.
Lets take a look at some swatches.
The staying power is not very long lasting, after eating and drinking you will have to reapply.
I paid $4.97 for these lovely lippies at Walmart which is great because other places they are about $7.99!
If you want to get your hands on these I would check out your local drugstore or Walmart now because I think everyone should have access to them!
I hope you enjoyed this post! If you love matte lippies like I do comment below and tell me whats your favorite!
I'll see you guys on Thursday with a Halloween mani!!
