Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Stain Review

Recently my sister Becky and I bought Maybelline's Color Sensational Lip Stain from Wal-mart. Becky and I have been lip stain fans ever since it started showing up in stores, and is basically the only lip product we use besides chap stick and the occasional lip gloss.  After searching through all the other brands, we decided upon this one.  Becky purchased "Feelin' Rosy" and I bought "Touch of Toffee".  

This product is available in ten different shades and is 0.1 Fl. Oz. 3.0 ml.  It is also a lip stain that has a marker tip.  I'll admit that we bought this product because it caught our eye.  The packaging is very lovely and each different shade is packaged according to color.


Touch of Toffee:

With Lip Gloss

Feelin' Rosy:

With Lip Gloss

Swatches:

"Touch of Toffee" - "Feelin' Rosy"

Color: 4/5  I love the colors Color Sensational Lip Stain comes in, and the color I got it in is wonderful (Touch of Toffee).  The "Feelin' Rosy" color is just as lovely, and the two are very similar.  Also, depending on how much you put on, the shade will become darker.  The biggest problem with the colors is that they are not all the exact color of the packaging, but somewhat darker.


Taste/Smell: 5/5  The taste/smell of a lip product is not a very important aspect, but I just thought i'd add it in because this lip stain's is just perfect.  The product has a sort of sweet flowery, berry flavor that is very slight, so you barely taste it.  It doesn't taste or smell awful like some products I have tried before.


Price: 4.5/5  $5 - 7  The price range of this item is decent, and like most of its competitors, it is similar.  Worth the price.


Quality: 4/5  Like all lip stains this one is pretty drying, so you may want to apply chap stick or lip gloss after.  This lip stain has the consistency of a marker, which is obvious by the felt-tip.  As claimed by the advertisement, it truly has a "Fresh, barely-there feel from vitamin-enriched berry nectar".  It is also quite long-lasting, at least 3 - 6 hours.  The biggest problem I had was getting the stuff to come out!  My sister had no problem with hers, but mine seems to only come out at specific parts of the tip, which is why I gave it a 4 and not a 5.  I guess sometimes you get lucky.


Overall: 4.5/5 I really enjoy having this lip stain.  It works pretty well, and I like the color.  It is also very easy to apply, and does not require a mirror.  Out of all my other lip stains, I use this on a daily basis.  This is one I may purchase again!
