First thing's first. I'm sorry I was MIA for months. I was so occupied with my studies for a while and now I finally have the time to write reviews again. I'll be making reviews of all the lipsticks I own, and I will try to upload one per day in this blog. So without further ado, here's my review of the maybelline creamy mattes.
Swatches:
(L-R) Siren in Scarlet, Touch of
Spice, Clay Crush
Price:
299php is the regular price but I only buy lipsticks from Maybelline when they're on sale. So I bought all of these for only 200php each.
Review:
This is one of my go-to lipsticks.
I often opt for the shade Clay Crush for everyday use. It’s a beautiful nude
color that suits people with fair skin. When I wear it, it has that orange
tinge to it which I think is flattering for my skin color. Siren in Scarlet is
a nice blue-based red shade. It makes my teeth look whiter. I rarely
wear reds because it’s out of my comfort zone and because it’s harder to apply
than other shades. A helpful tip would be to line your lips first with a lip
liner then fill it in with this lipstick. Last but not the least, Touch of
Spice. It’s a lovely nude mauve shade that looks good on every skin color. No
wonder it’s an all-time favorite.
Aside from the lipstick’s
beautiful shades and affordability, its formula is another thing to
adore. It does not dry out the lips unlike most matte lipsticks do. It is
long-lasting. It’s also very pigmented, just one swipe across the lips will
give you the opacity you’re looking for. You can, of course, build up the color
to your liking. Reapplication is hassle-free. You no longer have to remove your
lipstick with a makeup remover before reapplying because the creamy texture
makes it possible to still look good upon reapplication. However, it’s not
transfer-proof. But that can easily be fixed by blotting with a tissue. That
doesn’t prevent it from transferring at all but that does lessen the amount of
product that would transfer.
Rate:
★★★★★
The fact that it isn’t transferproof does not affect my rating because
if it was, then it will more likely be too drying for the lips and I’d much
rather have a non-transferproof lipstick than one that makes my lips look all crumbly.
