Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick Review

Hello lovelies.

Lately I have been loving wearing pink/coral shades on my lips, despite it being autumn... Oh well ☺
My favourite coral shade is the Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick in 910, 'Shocking Coral'.






This colour is INCREDIBLE. It is a beautiful mix of deep coral and pink and it is the perfect colour to go alongside a neutral eye look.

Okay so lets get to the technical bit...

  • Longetivity - I'd say it lasts for maybe 3-4 hours before the colour starts to fade.
  • Pigmentation - Really impressive pigmentation, you only need about 2 swipes to get the full colour payoff onto your lips.
  • Scent - Kind of a soft vallina-ry scent, not a very strong scent which is good because last thing you want is smelly lips haha
  • Finish - It has a lovely creamy finish.

Application wise, it slides so smoothly over the lips. The formula is extremely creamy which makes your lips feel moisturized and fresh. Here is what it looks like on my lips.


As you can see, the colour on the lips is a mix between pink and coral, as opposed to a uniform coral shade. I prefer this because it means that this lipstick will go with a more many more different types of looks and will suit a number of different outfits.


Overall, I am in LOVE with this lipstick. For the price, which here in the Uk is £7.19, I think it's a must buy. If corals aren't your thing, the Maybelline Colour Sensational range has a whole BUNCH of colours to choose from... 52 in fact. I'm sure that you'll find a colour you'll love! Not to mention this lipstick will last you a very long time. I'm definitely going to invest in a whole lot more haha.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this review and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hellooo

Hello everyone..

Okay, so I have been wanting/meaning to make a beauty related blog for an extremely long time but I have never had the confidence to do so until now, sooo here I am basically haha ☺

I thought I'd do a quick introduction post just to let you all know a little bit more about me and all that jazz.

My name is Alexandra, I am seventeen and live in England. I am currently in my second year of sixth form (college), and I study English Lang/Lit, Spanish and Psychology.

I am half Spanish / half English and fluent in bothhhhhh

I enjoy watching anything crime drama related, my faves are probably CSI and Criminal Minds ☺☺

Music wise I like a lot of different artists, but my main faves are Alt-J, Lana del Rey and Gabrielle Aplin. I also like Bon Iver, Lauren Aquilina, Hudson Taylor, Luke Sital Singh and Ben Howard.

I love makeup and all things beauty related, hence I made this blog. I seem to spent most of my life watching youtube tutorials and reading beauty blogs so I thought why not make a blog for myself and here I am ☺


I hope you enjoy my blog, I hope to start posting things soon-ish as soon as I work out how all this works ☺

Hope you have a wonderful day, and please leave a comment (if you so wish of course haha).
