Maybelline Colorsensational Vivids ~ Vibrant Mandarin 914, Review + Swatch!

Recently I've started obsessing over bright lipsticks. I guess it's just a need sort of thing as the summer approaches. And during the spring I bought a new lipstick, from the Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids: Vibrant Mandarin, 914. It's a bright orange lipstick, as the name suggests. The packaging is sleek, and the color of the lid depicts the actual color of the lipstick. Here is how it looks:

The color is very bright. And very vivid. The lipstick has a faint vanilla type of sweet smell. It's not very orange though, it's more of a bright pink-ish orange type of coral. It's like a neon color. To me, I like the color but I don't think it's very wearable, cause of how bright it is. Though, when I pat it with a tissue it lightens a little, and that's how I can wear it. Otherwise this isn't a favorite lipstick of mine. The finish is creamy/satin like. And it has a beautiful sheen. The color also leaves behind a beautiful stain, which isn't too dark. That's how I use the lipstick mostly, by just keeping the stain.

Here is the swatch:

You can't tell the color very properly. It looks more orange in the picture. Where as in normal lighting it looks more in between a bright orange to coral. The lasting power is great. Cause the lipstick is very opaque. And it doesn't accentuate any dry patches on the lips, which a lot of lipsticks do.

Overall, this lipstick just kind of added to my small collection of lipsticks. I don't like it very much, cause it's too bright. I can pull of a matte red lip, on rare occasions. But this lipstick isn't just bright, it's more like a neon color. Which I think isn't my thing really.

I bought this for Rs. 975 at Beauty Arena. It's available in most leading stores in Pakistan. It's also available at most drusgtores. It rages from $ 7-8, and is also available at most drugstores depending on where you buy it from.

Hope the review was helpful! Please feel free to comment for any questions or suggestions.
