Maybelline Color Sensational High Shine Lipgloss - Shade Glisten up Pink Review

By Pooja_g

Hey everyone! I am back with a review on Maybelline Color Sensational High Shine Lipgloss in shade Glisten up Pink. I know these glosses are making rounds in the blogosphere and I just wantto add my two cents. So hear me out! :)

PRICE: ₹350 QUANTITY: 5ml
WHAT IT CLAIMS:
  • More Vibrant Color from pure liquid pigments
  • Cleaner Shine from our 100% wax-free gloss
  • Creamier feel from nourishing honey nectar
  • Now gloss goes gutsy in 8 arresting shades
  • Expert Tip 

SWATCH:
MY EXPERIENCE:Maybelline Color Sensational High Shine Lipgloss comes in a regular rectangular tube with mirror-finish screw cap and doe foot applicator. The shade Glisten up Pink is a baby pink color with a frosty finish. It is a pretty color indeed when it tones down a little but I would have preferred itminus the silver shimmers that make it look so frosty on my skintone. But hey, it says to give "high shine" on lips and so it delivers. ;)

Like other Maybelline glosses, it is quite creamy but not as moisturising (probably because of the overdoze of shimmers, that also feels a little gritty initially). It is not that opaque and my lip lines gets more pronounced. It stays on an average of 2-3 hours with a little snacking but it doesn't survive a meal (does any lipcolor do? I wonder who won't wipe their lips afterlunch/dinner...eeks! :P). Maybelline also hiked their price with this new range which is not fair..boohoo! WHAT I LIKED:
  • Creamy gloss that glides easily on lips.
  • Lightweight and non-sticky.
  • On an average stays for 2-3 hours, and more if you don't snack in between.
  • Gives high shine as the name suggests  
  • The shade is pretty itself but not exactly for my skintone.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE:
  • The silver shimmers gives a frostiness that doesn't suit me and also feels a bit gritty on lips.
  • This particular shade doesn't give opaque coverage to my lips.
  • Prices hiked by Maybelline.
VERDICT: If you want a shade that would add shine to your lipcolor then you might try the Maybelline Color Sensational High Shine Lipgloss in shade Glisten up Pink. It looks good with a brownish or similar base color. But this shade is not suitable for all skintones, when worn on its own. Let me know whether you tried this! RATINGS:3.75 out of 5
