Maybelline New York Wet Shine Diamonds [DISCONTINUED]

The colours are pretty in the tube but the staying power is horrible, also, they look fake and gross on my lips. I didn't find these to be really that shiney either.

I bought this awhile ago because I like the wet shiny look I saw in magazine ads (I usually use lip glosses). Well this stuff was a waste of my money. It doesn't give a wet look, it's like anyold lipstick. And it has a gitty feeling on my lips. Very gross feeling. Who's going to want to kiss gritty lips? Will not repurchase.

Lovely color selection, but feels awkward and requires frequent reapplication. Pity, because my girly side really loved the sparklies.

I bought it in Pink Diamonds, which looked great on Josie Maran in the ad (she has similar coloring to me, so I thought it would look good, but of course I should have known that things never look as good as they do in magazines). It put thick pink sparkles-- not shimmery "diamonds" all over my lips, and was so drying I had to wipe it off after only a few minutes. There wasn't anything that remotely resembled a wet shine. It was pretty matte, except for the sparkles. Maybe it's nicer in another color.

Another favorite of mine is Maybelline WSD in Mauvey Rock, just a swipe of this lipstick then a coat of MAC Clear Lipglass can brightened the whole face. Enough said!

I just got these in Dripping Honey and Mauvy Rock. Mauvy Rock is a pale pink with purply undertones, very shiny and shimmery. I really like Dripping Honey, it really looks like Clinique Black Honey but with less red undertones. Looks like yours lips, but better and shinier. The only gripe I have is the wearablility: the color does not last long at all. Once you eat or drink something, its gone.

I really love this lipstick. I have four all together. Even thought it doesn't show the "wet" feel I think they are worth the money. The colors (along with the glitter) are lovely.
