Oh la la lips - Maybelline Vibrant Mandrin

Hello!

Today's lips are brought to you by Maybelline's new Vivids (a part of the Color Sensational line).  There are a lot of really great colors in this collection but I limited my self to one - Vibrant Mandrin.

The color looks just like that - in real life - almost neon.  But as you can see in the swatch it's not so frightening out of the tube, in fact I think it look fabulous on!  It's a lovely pink/coral with a bit of extra punch.

 

My only complaint would be that the pigment settles on any dry spots on your lips, so just like most vibrant lipsticks, a good exfolliation and bit of balm is necessary beforehand.  I can't wait to try Neon Red from the vivids collection!

Have you tried any of these?

    2. Oh hush!!!! You got me a present! WOOOOO you are too kind Jasmine ;) I hope you will like your package I added lots of just for Jasmine things in there, according to the tracking it officially left Canada today so I have my fingers crossed that you will get it by Friday so you can have some weekend fun!
      My skin care goddess I have to ask you, what is your experience with Nuxe Paris? I have been thinking about getting a different moisturiser for dry skin, I love my Dragons Blood but I need to expand my horizons!

  2. I don't have a ton of experience with Nuxe, I had Huile Prodigieuse (the dry oil you can use everywhere)a while back and it's ok... Their products are pretty reasonably priced, but I feel like it's more like a "spa" line, like you need someone to massage into your face for you :) Have you tried any samples?

    1. I have not yet tried anything or any samples, I was going to go take a sniff, yes sniff because I need to smell anything before I apply it to my face lol
      You mean it won't come with someone to apply it for you?!? Darn Frenchies :[

  4. WOW I love that color on you. It's pigmented yet still somewhat translucent. The packaging is also very appealing. I have a love and hate relationship with these maybelline lipsticks. They smell too much like playdoh, which bothers me.

    1. That's where my broken nose comes in handy, I only have about 40% of my olfactory sense. Which might explain why I am so easily sucked in by packaging :)

  5. Hi Jasmine!

    I just wanted to give you a heads up- I tried e-mail you back about the Cara Box but for some reason I'm getting an error message back! Don't think I left you hanging lol, I'll try again in a bit :)
