Hey Dreamers and Creators!

The liquid lipstick trend has been going strong and honestly I don't think it's going anywhere any time soon. Many brands are coming out with their own variations of the product and there are so many factors that differentiate them from each other. I am still on the hunt for my potential HG liquid lipstick. There are quite a few liquid lipsticks I want to try and compare with the ones I currently have. However, I'm currently on a low-buy at the moment (saving those dollars for something fun~) so the comparison will have to wait.

Anyways, today I want to share my thoughts on these Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid Matte Liquids. The line has 10 shades, which are Nude Thrill, Nude Flush, Pink Charge, Electric Pink, Orange Shot, Berry Boost, Fuchsia Ecstasy, Rebel Red, Possessed Plum, and Vivid Violet. I have the shades Rebel Red and Nude Flush, let's get to know them.

Packaging: All 10 colors of the Vivid Matte Liquid line has the same packaging style. It's simple and to the point. The see-through rectangular containers show the colors of the liquid lipsticks clearly. Each liquid lipstick comes with a built-in doe foot applicator as well.

Color: I got the colors Rebel Red and Nude Flush. Rebel Red is a classic, rich red color. Nude Flush is a dusty rose color (pinky nude). It's very pretty and it's my favorite of the two.

Texture: This liquid lipstick has a creamy liquid texture.

Scent: If you look at the ingredient list you'll find that perfum/ fragrance is added to the liquid lipsticks. It can be strong for some people.

Michelle's Rating: (Nude Flush: ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ♡) (Rebel Red: ❤ ❤ ♡ ♡ ♡) 

Final Thoughts: I'm happy at least 1 of the 2 shades worked out okay for me. It's sad to see that 2 colors from the same line can perform so differently. Even though neither products are long lasting and they really don't dry matte by themselves, their beautiful shades won them some points. I really like Nude Flush and can see myself use if often. However, I think Rebel Red is likely to collect dust in some corner because it's just too much trouble.

Would I purchase them in the future? I think I'm going to try other liquid lipsticks instead. These 2 Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid Matte Liquids left me wishing for something better and I hope I can find that on the market. While I do like Nude Flush, I don't know if it's worth repurchasing or not. Do I think these are worth a try? Um, I'd say buy at your own risk. Know that these do not dry matte on their own (you'll need to blot/powder), they aren't long lasting, some can have pigmentation/application issues. However, if you do love dusty rose shades, I recommend checking out Nude Flush in stores because it really is pretty.
