Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids Lipstick Review and Comparisons

I have finally took the time to post my review and thoughts about these lipsticks. I have had them for quite a while now. I also included 3 of the 4 lipsticks that released later in a limited edition collection (I misplaced the 4th, unfortunately). Enjoy!

These lipsticks have the ingredient of honey nectar, which according to Maybelline is supposed to nourish the lips and give them a creamy look.

On Fire Red, Neon Red, Vibrant Mandarin, Electric Orange, Shocking Coral, Pink Pop

Dupes and Comparisons:

On Fire Red – This shade is a creamy dupe for MAC Red Lipstick, which is matte.

Neon Red MAC Lady Danger Lipstick is lighter and more matte.

Vibrant Mandarin MAC Watch Me Simmer Lipstick is a few shades lighter. MAC Crosswires Lipstick is a shade lighter and less creamy. This shade is a dupe for MAC Coral Polyp Lipstick.

Electric Orange MAC Morange Lipstick is a more vibrant, lighter version of this shade. MAC Neon Orange Lipstick is more neon. MAC Electro Lipstick is very similar.

Shocking Coral MAC Fusion Pink Lipstick is darker. MAC Party Parrot Lipstick is more watermelon. MAC Chatterbox Lipstick is about 2 shades lighter. MAC Speak Louder Lipstick is very similar.

Dupes and Comparisons:
Pink Pop – discussed above.

Fuchsia Flash MAC Trimming Talk Lipstick has more purple. I do not have anything similar to this shade in my collection.

Hot Plum MAC Dish It Up Lipstick is more mauve. MAC Gladiola Lipstick is more matte.

Brazen Berry MAC Heroine Lipstick is more pigmented and has a matte texture. MAC Strong Woman Lipstick is darker. Brazen Berry is very similar to MAC Violetta Lipstick and MAC Style Curve Lipstick.

Here are the other 3 lipsticks from the limited edition Fashion Week Spring 2013 Color Goes Electric Collection.


Left to right:
Pop of Cherry, Orange Edge, Infra-Red

Dupes and Comparisons:

Pop of Cherry MAC Lady Danger Lipstick is slightly darker and more matte.

Orange Edge MAC So Chaud Lipstick is very similar, but more matte.

Infra-Red – This is a true, blue based red. It may be similar to MAC Ruby Woo Lipstick, which is matte, but I also misplaced that color as well (hate when I do that!)

Overall, these are some great lipsticks. They have a great texture (creamy and not drying). One thing I hate is that the color changes throughout the day, on me at least. It goes on vibrant and the next time I look, the color has turned less vibrant. It was a $9 lipstick after all…which is another thing I’m annoyed about. I “forgot” how much more expensive drugstore brands are at Ulta than other drugstores. My coworker told me she bought them for $5.50 at Walmart. I was livid lol. Nonetheless, go buy them if you haven’t! Walmart will probably be your best bet as far as price 🙂
