Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick

I love Moisturizing lipstick, and Maybelline has one of the best that there is. Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick has a great creamy texture and it feels more like a balm than a lipstick.

Moisture Extreme contains jojoba oil as a conditioner and carries an SPF 15 rating. I lasts for a decent amount of time and you can pair it with a Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lip Liner Pencil for even longer wear.

You can find Maybelline Moisture Extreme in a plethora of shades at just about any drugstore or big box retailer.

Maybelline Line Stylist Lip Liner

Maybelline has a pretty good soft lip liner at a nice price: The Maybelline Line Stylist.

This is a very slimline liner–one of the thinnest I have seen. The tip does a good job at giving a thin line, or a bit thicker with a bit of pressure. It is also nice an soft, but doesn’t smear.

Oh, and the color lasts extemely well. What more can you ask for?

Well…. there is one small issue with it, and we’re talkin tiny here–really not a huge concern to me at least. The packing is such that you turn it to click it up out of the tube. If you click too far, there doesn’t seem to be a reverse function. So proceed slowly!

Maybelline Volume XL Seduction, Plumping Gloss

If you are familiar with Maybelline Shine Seduction lip gloss, a gloss that I happen to think is one of the best drugstore ones out there, then this one will seem familiar. Maybelline VolumeXLSeduction Plumping Gloss is the same thing, but with an oh so tingly lip plumper added. For more on the original Maybelline Shine Seduction gloss, see my original review.

I grabbed mine off the shelf at Target and noted that they were selling out fast. Like the standard Shine Seduction, the plumping version features the click up applicator, great shades, and super shine. It then adds plumping, and is one of the better drug store plumping glosses that I have tried. I picked out a light neutral pink shade that I just love.

Keep in mind that I have yet to find a plumper that actually make the lips appear much larger, but I like the tingle of lip plumpers and some tingle more than others. This one does a good job in that department. So while I didn’t see my lips magically turn plump, I did get a neat feeling gloss, that also happened to be in a great shade for me.

Maybelline Shine Seduction Lip GLoss

I can’t believe how hard it is to find web sites selling Maybelline Shine Seduction Lip Gloss. It has been out for some time and is quite popular. So popular in fact that I never seem to be able to get the shades I want because the local stores are sold out! So I was a bit amused to find them for sale in pairs at Amazon.com.

Maybelline Shine Seduction is pretty much tied with Rimmel’s Vinyl Lip as my favorite drugstore lipgloss. Those serve different purposes for me, so I have a number of each.

First and foremost, Shine Seduction lives up to its name. This stuff shines to no end. But it also has some incredible colors and staying power. The color is a bit more opaque than I have seen in drugstore glosses and it reminds me at times of the more pigmented M.A.C. lipglass shades. The stickiness factor is low, which is surprising considering the amount of pigment, but it can feel a bit thick if you put a lot on.

I also love the packaging. Maybelline put Shine Seduction is click up tubes that twists the gloss up through several little holes. It makes evenly dispensing and applying the product quite easy. Bitten Plum (pictured) is a great neutral plum shade that has become my favorite.

Maybelline has also just released Volume XL Seduction Lip Plumper, which is a plumping version. I am loving that as well and will write more on it in the future. Both types can be found in all major drugstores.
