Lipstick Week | Maybelline Colorsensational Shine Gloss - Reviewed!

So technically these aren't a lipstick but I thought I would break things up a bit a mention my favourite gloss. Now I am definitely not a lip gloss fan, I find it annoying to wear and much prefer lipsticks. However these are definitely different and I find myself reaching for them a lot.

The packaging is very sleek and simple which I love; you can also tell each shade apart easily which is great if you have more than one shade. These don't have a strong scent to them, however they do have a slight sweet scent to them which isn't overpowering and you can't smell it once they're applied to the lips.

They come with a sponge applicator which isn't too big making it very easy to apply to the lips. I also find too much product doesn't come out on the applicator. Each shade has a creamy formula so they glide onto the lips and there is no chunky glitter in them.

The shades I have are Glorious Grapefruit which is a lovely peach shade great for Summer or applying over a matte shade to make for a more glossy finish. The other shade is Gleaming Grenadine  which is a lovely red colour. I was surprised how much wear I got out of this shade in the Summer as it's not a bold red so looks nice throughout the year.

I find the wear time really good for a gloss, lasting around 1-2 hours on the lips. The red shade definitely lasts longer leaving a red hint to the lips. The best thing about these is that they feel like a balm on the lips and aren't sticky at all. If you on the hunt for a nicely pigmented gloss that feels nice on the lips I would definitely recommend giving these a go.

Maybelline Colorsensational Shine Gloss retail for £6.19.
