Maybelline Shine Sensational Lip Gloss Review

I am a lip balm/lip gloss addict so when I saw that Maybelline had recently come out with a new lip gloss I had to pick one up and try it for myself.

There are 18 different colors with their corresponding flavors. The colors/flavors are: Berry Bella (a bright fuchsia/red), Berry Dazzle (a dark berry color), Cherry Bloom (a light sheer pink), Cherry Kiss (a sheer bright red), Cocoa Flavor (a light brown color), Crazy Caramel (peachy-rose), Cranberry Crave ( a deep, dark red), Crushed Candy (a pop pink color), Fresh Sliced (a sheer, juicy pink color), Glam Guava ( a solid shimmer pink), Mad Melon (a sheer orange), Minty Sheer (a clear gloss), Peach Sorbet (a sheer peach), Set Indulge ( a plum-pink), Sparkling Grape (a sheer purple), Tempting Toffee (a shimmer plum-bronze), Treat Me Sweet ( a shimmer deep pink, and Watermelon Punch ( a solid, bright pink-red color).

Out of all the colors I decided on trying out the Peach Sorbet color. I would say it's the safest color to try next to Minty Sheer. It is flattering on all skin tones since it comes out mostly clear with a hint of slight very sheer pink/peach on your lips. It has good sticking power, and the formula is smooth and not goopy. However, like all other lip glosses, it can get pretty messy with the wind blowing your hair around your face. The flavor is decent and does not have that yucky, artificial taste that a lot of glosses tend to have. Unfortunately, like most popular makeup brands, this is not made from natural ingredients and is made from material that most people would be able to pronounce or identify correctly.

These come in 0.38 fl.oz. tubes (similar to that of Lancome Juicy Tubes) and usually retail for $5.99 and are sold at mass merchandise stores such as target and Wal-Mart, drugstores such as Rite-Aid and CVS, and specialty beauty stores such as ULTA. Would I buy this lip gloss again in the future? Not so sure since it is not made from natural ingredients, but if that doesn't bother you, then with so many shades this new beauty item is definitely worth trying out for fun.
