Maybelline didn't do their best with this one

I love Maybelline but these two colors out of the line were horrible. It applies patchy because it's not opaque, & it's not buildable. It just looks messy and horrible on its own. BUT with a liner it helps to make the lipsticks wearable!!!! I almost returned the product but I decided that since the liner helps 1000%, I'll just apply it that way. As you can see in the photos, I filled in my lips completely with the liner before applying! It's literally the only way you can wear this product. These colors do stain lips without the liner. I did hear that the other colors in the line are fine, but I'm good on trying them. I'm okay with just these two. I purchased on Amazon for about $3 each. If you don't mind applying liner then I recommend you try them. I love vampy lips that's why I chose these, & I do love the colors itself.

I bought this lipstick in the shade 50 Possesed Plum. I've been in search of the perfect dark purple liquid lipstick and it looks like I still have to keep searching :(. I wouldn't even call this a lipstick it's more of a lipgloss, a very clumpy, highly perfumed lipgloss. Very disappointed.

The color is beautiful, but it doesn't dry at all and it's streaky. When you put more on to cover up the streakiness it only gets sticky and the fragrance is really strong.

I bought this product when it was on sale so I'm not as dissapointed as I would have been if I paid full price. I have this in the colour Possesed Plum, it goes on unevenly and the product can't be layered without making a patchy mess. I find the formula to be fairly good when it comes to not drying out my lips and the applicator is nice my main problem is the colour pigment and formula.

I was looking for a inexpensive matte lipstick and decided to get the Vivid Matte Liquid in Nude Flush. The colour is nice and applies smoothly. But unfortunately the lipstick is not as matte as the name implies as I can see a very subtle shine after application. I also did not like the strong scent and the fact that the applicator give you way more product than you need on your lips. All in all, for the price you pay, I think it's a good alternative to the high-end liquid matte lipsticks.
