Good morning my beauties. Today I'd like to talk to you about my slight lipstick obsession of the last month or so. Maybellibe Sensational Creamy Matte Lipstick recently premiered in UK with 6 shades. Shades are really stunning, even though full selection isn't available. There are quite a few more shades available in US but we have to be happy with what we have here :)
Packaging
I don't mind the packaging as I normally do with drugstore lipsticks, it's a well made matte, plastic. It doesn't wow me either as no magnetic lock makes me think twice before just throwing it in my handbag. As for it's price it isn't bad though, it won't break easily which is a plus.
Formula
As promised by a producent, formula is very creamy and goes on nicely on the lip. It's very similar to the formula of MAC matte but without the dryness of retro matte finish. It goes on smoothly but due to the bullet shape you may want to have a lip brush on hand to correct the application. I find them less drying than Bourjois Velvet Mattes or retro mattes by MAC. They sit comfortably on the lip for up to 5 hours. Standard wear time will be between 3-5 hours depending on how much you plan to eat in the meantime. It wears off nicely too, leaving pigment behind so you only need to top it off once during a 8 hour at the office.
Shades:
Nude Embrace is a warm, light brown nude. Looks very natural on the lips, perfect colour to choose for that smokey eye or a daytime look.
Rose Rush is a light Barbie pink. I am not the biggest fan of this colour on it's own but mixed with Nude Embrace it creates a lovely pinkish nude. Great for daytime.
Magnetic Magenta is the most vibrant colour of the bunch. Very pigmented fuchsia, perfect daytime and evening statement lip. Cool toned so it whitens your teeth just a little bit.
Craving Coral is the coral red with orange undertones. Again very pigmented and will work best on someone little tanned. Another daytime staple for those warm daytime smokey eye.
Siren in Scarlet is a vibrant red. Beautiful shade for every day red lip. I really love how vibrant it is and how well it works with any eye makeup.
Divine Wine is a deep burgundy. Perfect autumn shade and very pigmented. Great for a daytime statement lip.
If I were to choose my favourites, Magnetic Magenta, Siren in Scarlet and Divine Wine have stolen my heart. I prefer a statement lip to the nudes and I really enjoy wearing these shades. I also like the formula as they are comfortable on my dry lips. Wear time is also great and for £6.99 they are smashing drugstore matte lipstick game :)
What do you think about Creamy Mattes? Any of them stolen your heart? Sound off in the comments below.
Thank you for reading.

I haven't tried them yet as any of the shades were that unique to me when I swatched them in the shop but Divine Wine is definitely my favourite from all of them :) x

No, I wouldn't call them unique but I love the formula. They stay on so well :) They are of the same quality as MAC and one third of the price :)
DeleteI just checked these out at the store earlier today! The formula really seemed amazing! I almost got Divine Wine, but eventually put it down... I already have so many lipsticks and want to try and use the ones I have more... but I don't think I'll resist much longer! ;)

Divine Wine truly is a divine shade for this season :) I was wearing it a lot, cheating on my more expensive UD, MAC or Charlotte Tilbury faves x
DeleteDivine Wine looks like something I would enjoy wearing! You have me intrigued to swatch them! xx

I think everyone loves the Divine Wine. It's a great shade and so wearable :) plus I do love a good statement lip x
DeleteThese look and sound lovely. I love Divine Wine but have my eyes set on Nude Embrace. Sadly I have not seen that particular shade in my local shop yet. Will keep looking. x
