I was looking for some lotion when I came across the Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick display. I have had terrible luck with drugstore lipstick simply because you can't test it on your hand like you would at Sephora or MAC. I always try my best not to open them and go by the color indicator, but let's be honest, those things are never true to color. I saw two that looked like they could be nice on me, so I picked them up. They were only $4.59 on sale so I figured if I get them home and they look hideous, I was only out of about $10. I purchased On The Mauve and Pink Quartz.

| On The Mauve |
On The Mauve should be re-named to Bruised Purple Lips because that is what I look like with this on. There is no mauve in it, it is a straight up purple lipstick. It makes my lips look like I've gone a few rounds with Floyd Mayweather. Pretty in the tube, not on me. One positive thing about it though, it applied very smooth and felt very moisturizing.

| Pink Quartz |
Pink Quartz is a very pretty mauve with gold shimmer. It is very sheer and needs to be built up to achieve the color that I want. It is one of those effortless, throw-on-as-you-walk-out-of-the-door colors. Kind of like MAC's Viva Glam V, it is probably universally flattering. One negative, it is dry as hell. I mean it tugs on your lips as you put it on. You have to apply a balm first.
Both colors have a sweet synthetic scent that bugs me but fades away once they're on the lips. So for $10, 1 hit, 1 miss ain't bad. I'll probably try On The Mauve with different lip liners and glosses to see if I can get it to work for me.
Have you tried any lipsticks from the Maybelline Color Sensational line?
