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.

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 🙂
