With so many reviews of eye
makeup products, I think it is time I shifted the focus to lipsticks and
blushes as well. After all this is a blog about lipsticks and blushes. I am
hard core Maybelline fan. With Lakme hiking the prices and the quality going
downhill and Colorbar stuff not being available easily; I shifted all my focus
and love to brands like Maybelline and Faces. I love Maybelline lipsticks
especially the Moisture extreme ones. Smooth, creamy and available in a range
of shades, these lipsticks have become a favorite among makeup lovers. I have
three shades of these amazing lipsticks, dusky mauve, brownie and buff.

The creamy
texture means more smudging..so keep a tissue handy.
Dusky Mauve
I love this lipstick and you
can spot it on me almost all the time. I don’t know why I never picked these
types of lipstick shades before. This is a beautiful mauve brown shade with a
hint of pink as well J. It even has a nice shine to it. It is perfect color for me and
different from the usual browns and nudes that I pick. Moreover I can usually
wear it any time of day and it looks equally gorgeous.

Buff
This is a perfect coral pink.
It is supposed to be a nude color but it is actually quite dark to be a nude
color. It looks gorgeous on the lips. Since I am dark, it looks a bit neonish
on me but I just love the color so much that I don’t mind.

Brownie
This is the only moisture
extreme lipstick that I rarely use. It is a dark brown with a hint of shine. I
really don’t know why I got this lipstick. I usually use a light shiny pink Maybelline
watershine lipgloss to tone down the color else I end up looking like a vampire.

Price: A
mere INR 220 bucks for these great lipsticks are certainly worth it. You can
find discounts on these lipsticks on online cosmetic stores. Check Blab
specials for some great deals.
Texture and Pigmentation: Super smooth and creamy, this luxuriously smooth lipstick
glides on like a dream on the lips. Moreover there is no shimmer or chunky
things sticking to the lips just a slight shine which makes your lips look
beautiful. Moreover it does not feel heavy and sticky on lips which is such a
boon
The pigmentation is superb.
The lipsticks provide nice color in just one swipe which is pretty amazing. The
only problem is since they are so creamy the staying power is much less than
other lipsticks in this range like the Colorbar Velvet Matte lipsticks.
What Do I Not Like
·
The staying power
is really bad. One meal and there is no trace of this lipstick on the lipsL
·
Some people have
complained about a fungus problem but I did not find any such thing on my
lipsticks
I love Maybelline moisture
extreme lipsticks. These are certainly worth the price and all the hype.
