Color Sensational The Loaded Bolds Lipstick (All Shades)

Dude. Midnight Merlot is my jam. I am considering getting a backup. I should go ahead and do that. This will be my vampy fall lippie. These literally go on like butter and one stroke gives you maximum impact of pigment. Midnight Merlot is a blackened wine color. Ugh, so gorgeous and no warmth so your teeth look pristine. These are not drying at all. I also got coffee addiction, raging raisin and …Read more

Bought this in the color Orange Danger - really like it, but thought it would be more crayon orange-based than red. Its still orange toned, but the swatches online had me thinking it would be much more orange. I still love it- im on an orange lip kick and love the other Maybelline Buff colors and formula, so had to grab an orange! Want to hunt down the Vivids - Electric Orange - just to see if …Read more

I bought this lipstick about a month ago in the shade 'Blackest Berry 825' and I was really excited about it. I absolutely loved the colour but I don't like the texture at all. It's creamy, which is nice, but when I put it on, it looks streaky.

Being a huge fan of a bold,dark lip the shade 'Blackest Berry' caught my eye.Can we just talk about the colour? It is an extremely beautiful dark purple,which is a guaranteed head-turner! I also adore the texture-super creamy and matte at the same time and with a high-performing pigmentation. I fell in love with this lipstick and I'm definitely going for more shades of this …Read more

Maybelline is not kidding that these are bold lipstick shades. They are not for the faint hearted.
I tried 795 Smoking Red which is a DARK OXBLOOD. On my med- dark complexion ( NC45) it was too much. It has a great creamy texture but came off way too dark and almost a little goth. On a darker complexion it probably would look great! You could probably blot this a few times to get a nice …Read more

Mauve it is a beautiful dark purple pink that is in the same color family as NARS Anna. It applies so smoothly and creamily on the lips; it is opaque in one swipe. It does transfer when you drink water or eat but the color is so saturated that most of it stays on the lips; you will have to reapply after eating though. I like the packaging but not the weird vanilla smell.

Another thing …Read more

Agree with other reviewers that this lip formula is the best I've tried from Maybelline. Also agree that they really should update the scent/flavor because it is blech.

I was at Walgreens during a Maybelline BOG1/2O so I first picked up two to try: Smoking Red & Pitch Black.

* Smoking Red is a sophisticated, easy red that is warm burgundy, so more pink-based than I …Read more

This collection is hard to review together because there are some definite misses. The black is terribly patchy snd unwearable, for instance. However, 770 Mauve It may be my favorite neutral lippie of all time. The blue case is lovely, and the traditional Maybelline lipstick scent is less playdough-like than usual.

Update: I bought the shade Chocoholic. It's the worst of the three, but still not horrible. I've noticed it seems a bit drier (which makes it a little trickier to apply) and does the weird patchy thing some lipsticks do. I wouldn't buy it again, but I'm not going to toss it.

I only have Raging Raisin and Coffee Addiction so far...

Finally! I remember …Read more

I haven't purchased maybelline lipsticks in years, because from my experience in the past, couldn't deal with the greasy texture and cloying, sweet plastick-y scent and taste. But I've been hearing rave reviews since they came out with the mattes and now this, the bolds. Since bold, dark lipsticks are what I'm usually drawn to, I decided to check it out when shopping at …Read more
