Greetings to All!
How are you today? I am reviewing the most raved product: Maybelline's Bold Matte Lipstick. Actually in States Maybelline has launched two collections together namely - Bold and Nude. But only Bold is available in India as of now. Go on to read the full review.
Shade:
MAT 5. (deep pink shade)
(4 more shades available.)
Price:
Rs. 375/-
Effect:
Semi Satin Matte.
(It looks little balmy on application. After a while it becomes completely matte. Its not completely opaque since it is not powder matte)
Packaging:
It comes covered in a secondary packaging of plastic with cool typography. Lipstick comes in a plain matte plastic case.
Swatch:
*The tint in the left picture was left after rigorous rubbing with tissue i.e Great pigmentation. The swatch on arm and lips was after 2 swipes.
Woohoos:
- A-Mazing pigmentation. It actually feels like a lip tint rather than a lipstick.
- Stays on for the entire day if you lightly eat/drink. And leaves a pretty stain after a full meal.
- Its very smooth in application, doesnt tug.
- It moisturizes the lips very very well. Lipstick doesn't feel dry at all on lips even after the moisturization goes away after a good 5 hours.
- Even if you swipe on lips 10 times the lipstick does not feel loaded on lips. Its feather light.
- Gorgeous bold shades.
- Very Affordable.
Boos:
- I really wish the cover had the same typography as on plastic. It would look classy.
- The formulation is so amazing I wish they had more than mere 5 shades!
*Exfoliate lips properly before applying lipstick.
Verdict:
All in all Im very happy with this Maybelline launch and this one's a keeper. Have atleast one of them in your kit and you wont regret! This is perfect for days you feel bolder and want to feel the same right through the day ;). I will definitely repurchase this product because this collection is going to instantly pop in my head when im looking out for bold shades!
Ps: Im kind of eyeing on MAT 2.
