Hi everyone,
Hope you are all having a good day. Wow! looks like I have another new review for you all. I have had a little spike in purchasing some new items this past 2 weeks and of course it's always fun to share my thoughts on the good and the bad of the makeup world.
So lets hop right in!
MAYBELLINE MATTE IN 655 DARINGLY NUDE
4.2G AVERAGE PRICE IS $10 GOT MINE ON SALE FOR $5.99
I have always enjoyed Maybelline lipsticks and the mattes in this collection are no exception. What I like most is that the matte finish itself doesn't look overly dry on the lips as with other brands and they actually feel very comfortable on the lips, there is still some moisture present.
I have always been a fan of nude lips over the years, so daringly nude was a perfect purchase and a simple colour to wear everyday.
I would purchase this again, if I ever get through the many other lipsticks I already have.
You can easily top this with a nude lipgloss or even one with a hint of shimmer if you don't always want to wear it straight up matte.
I also found within my own lipstick collection the closets comparable brands and shades would be
- Milani's colour statement lipstick in Nude Creme
-Rimmel lasting finish lipstick 70 Airy Fairy
Also Maybelline's The Buffs lipstick in Nude Lust is a good "alternative" not a dupe.
Bare in mind that the colours I mentioned are not matte finish but are very similar in colour. You can mattify any lipstick with a light dusting of translucent powder.
MAYBELLINE MATTE 665 LUST FOR BLUSH
This colour came off a lot brighter then I was expecting, but that is not a bad thing, it's beautiful. For those that don't know if you want a toned down version of this shade be sure to check out the COLOR WHISPER also called Lust For Blush which has been out for a long time, same tone but just a gentle wash of colour on the lip instead.
The only lipsticks I found in my collection that were close, but not exact would be
-Revlon super lustrous lipstick in 660 Berry Haute which is a creme finish (this colour is a little more deeper with a stronger purple undertone)
- Essence long lasting lipstick 9 Wear Berries (this one is a little lighter and maybe a hair pinker)
That being said these were both good purchases as I have nothing in my collection that I can say is an exact match which is a good thing when you already have to many lipsticks.
SIDE NOTE: I have been noticing that the price of a lot of the drug store lipsticks, just seem to keep going up (here in Canada any way), which is not cool, but hey! what can ya do??? except sit back complain and then if your anything like me, you know in the end you'll still buy them any way *sigh*

On that note, have a great day everyone, hope you found this review helpful
I have both of these plus Divine Wine and Touch of Spice. My favorite is definitely Touch of Spice followed by Lust for Blush. They are great matte lipsticks!
ReplyDeleteThey are all gorgeous shades I just want to be a little more selective with my buying this time around or I too probably would have bought them all :/ thanks for reading Tanya:)
DeleteLust for Blush is beautiful! I love a matte lippie that does not dry out the lips. I have yet to try the Mattes range. I will be adding these to my list of products to try.

Hope you like them. I imagine the darker shades Tanya mentioned in her comment would be beautiful shades on you as well. It makes me laugh when we say our lists, Makeup Junkies and their lists lol;)
