Maybelline Vivids Lipstick Swatches & Target Haul
9:00 AM
Hey everyone! I recently went to Target to pick up some new Spring drugstore makeup releases which I've been so excited to try. I grabbed a few lipsticks, an eyeliner, and even a new mascara so check out my entire haul below including lip swatches of the new Maybelline Vivids lipsticks!
PRODUCTS MENTIONED:
ON ME:
eyes - Urban Decay Naked Palette
necklace - ASOS
top - Victoria's Secret
Out of this whole haul, the stars of the show are obviously the Maybelline ColorSensational Vivids lipsticks which are creamy and extremely pigmented. Since these colors are so fun and dramatic, I wanted to swatch the three I picked up for you.
Maybelline Vivids Lipstick in Neon Red
Maybelline Vivids Lipstick in Hot Plum
Maybelline Vivids Lipstick in Fuchsia Flash
And because I always find full-face pics to be more helpful in seeing what a lipstick would actually look like on, here they are again in context.
Maybelline Vivids Lipstick in Neon Red
Maybelline Vivids Lipstick in Hot Plum
Maybelline Vivids Lipstick in Fuchsia Flash
I'm positive my favorite shade of the three will be rotating soon, but I'm currently loving Neon Red while my husband's favorite is Fuchsia Flash. I did notice from swatching and from initial wear tests that both the pinker shades stain significantly, which can be either good or bad depending on your preference. It does make the color last longer but it doesn't look too great when lips dry out or peel. Those who have tried the other Vivids shades, let me know if this staining effect is consistent throughout the line! In all likelihood, I'll be back at Target scoping out more shades soon.
Readers, are you into the bright lip trend? Will you be picking up any of the Maybelline Vivids lipsticks? What is your favorite shade of bold lipstick to wear? Let me know in the comments!

Loved both the Vivids lipsticks... waiting for them to arrive in India soon.
ReplyDeleteHot plum and fuchsia flash look extremely similar in the pictures. Would you recommend one or the other or both?

I personally think Hot Plum is more flattering on me but the two actually look very different in real life! I think it just looks similar in the photos because they are next to each other. Fuchsia Flash is a lot lighter than Hot Plum. :)
DeleteThanks for the tip. I will keep that in mind for the next time I go to Target :]
DeleteIi've only tried Vibrant Mandarin and that definitely leaves a stain but its not bad after you put some lip balm or gloss over (if your lips are drying out that is)

ReplyDeleteBut fuchsia flash looks so much better than I thought it would be.
i really like the fuschia looks on you. Intriguingly pretty. I hope maybelline launch this in indonesia too :)

Can you recommend a drugstore matte eye shadow? All the ones I've seen are very shimmery.
ReplyDeleteWet & Wild has some palettes that have pigmented matte shadows. :)

why is makeup in the US and everywhere else so much cheaper than it is in australia?!
ReplyDeletewww.mkstyleramblings.blogspot.com.au
Oh man, I've heard so many Aussies complaining about the same thing. I have no idea! Some drugstore brands here and more expensive in Korea too, like Maybelline!
Deleteare you going to the upcoming anime expo 2013 in july?
ReplyDeleteI plan on it! :)
DeleteHi Jen! I have a question which I struggle with when I buy lipstick!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the best way to try on and figure out which lipstick suits me, at a store like sephora? I find that trying it on my lips become deceiving because no matter how much I try to wipe it off after each try, the color stays on and it becomes a mix of colours. Drawing it on my hand also doesn't help as I still can't tell how it looks on my face. There are huuundreds of lipstick colors and it's so overwhelming sometimes! Help! How do you pick?
The good thing about Sephora is that you can test products out while you are there, but you're right it can be tough. Sephora should have waterproof makeup removers at the tester stations, so I recommend using that to wipe your lips between lipsticks! It works better than just wiping with tissue. :)
DeleteI went and bought 3 Vivids because of your haul video... you're right! They're AMAZING! Thanks for the find!
ReplyDeleteI bought the Revlon Color Burst lipsticks. They're sooo cute and creamy. Especially the Creamsicle and Cherry Tart colors. You should try them :)
ReplyDeleteJen, did you use a lipliner with these lipsticks? If so, what color lipliner did you use for the Hot Plum and Fuchsia Flash lipsticks?
ReplyDeleteJen, I completely agree! The Maybelline Vivids are a Great find. I have Vivid Rose and Neon Red so far, and totally in love with them. Great pigmentation, lasting power, and price point! All the colors look great, especially the hot plum, will definitely pick that up next time!
