AMW Reviews: Maybelline The Jewels by Colorsensational

When I say a posh-looking lipstick tube makes a huge difference, I mean it!  I'm glad drugstore brands like Maybelline is also taking time to create lipsticks housed in gorgeous tubes!  

The Jewels by ColorSensational definitely looks like a JEWEL inside my lipstick case!

I got 2 shades tested out for you ---

 Fuchsia Crystal and Berry Brilliant

Maybelline says ---

Take a walk on the wild side this holiday season with 6 Special Edition jewel-toned lipsticks from Maybelline's best-selling franchise ColorSensational.

AMW says ---
Pros

• Gorgeous packaging!
• Creamy texture.
• Doesn't dry out my lips.
• Pigmented shades.
• Glossy finish.
• The gorgeous 6 shades that are in reds, pinks and purples are all unique.
• Staying power is great.  Though some of the pigments may transfer, the lipstick leaves a gorgeous stain of color on your lips for the rest of the day.
• Lightly scented.

Cons

• Difficult to remove at the end of the day.
• Will transfer to mugs or glass during meals.  The lipstick also may "bleed" if your lips are extremely dry.
• Limited Edition.

Overall
Creamy texture, good pigmentation and gorgeous shades.

Tips

• A lip brush can be used for a more defined lips.
• If your lips aren't dry, you can apply The Jewels by ColorSensational lipsticks on its own.
• If your lips are extremely dry, it helps to exfoliate your lips with a lip cream and cotton bud prior to lipstick application.
• Do not apply The Jewels by ColorSensational lipsticks on top of a lip balm as the color will slide off easily.
• For bright-colored lipsticks, always take the lipstick with you for retouch.
• Since removal is more difficult as compared to other lipsticks, use a lips makeup remover.
