Maybelline - Color Sensational® Vivids Lipstick Swatches

As you can tell I'm on a serious lipstick kick right now! There are still so many different shades and finishes out there that I can't wait to get my hands on. I was lucky to have had the opportunity to try out the Maybelline Vivids for a few weeks now.

 
I'm in love! 

Maybelline has been putting out one hit product after another lately. I'm happy to say I've been a fan of every single one!

• 8 super saturated lip shades.
• Brighter color from our exclusive vivid pigments.
• Creamier feel from nourishing honey nectar. 

Why do I love the lipsticks you ask? 
Because they apply true to color! The color that you see when you take off the cap is exactly what you see when you apply it!

These lipsticks are also quite long lasting and moisturizing. My lips didn't dry out throughout the day and I didn't have to apply it as much as I would some of my other lipsticks. I also have pigmented lips and it shows up perfectly on me.

Swatches: 

I'm sorry I didn't get to do a lip swatch with all of them but I love Hot Plum.
I think this might be my signature color for 2013!

Plus they only cost $9.99.

Which color is your favourite?

L'Oreal Colour Caresse by Colour Riche Swatches

Is it me or have you seen a lot of brands coming out with new lip products within the past 6 months! L'oreal Colour Caresse by Colour Riche was one of my favourite products of 2012!

I was asked on twitter if I could swatch some of the other colours.

Let me know which one is your favourite!

Suggested retail for each lipstick is around $12.99. Look out for my Color Riche Caresse Shine Stain Lip Colors swatches later this month.
