Maybelline Color Goes Electric Color Sensational Lip Gloss Review and Swatches

 Do you eve just wish you could find a decent drugstore (or any type!) of lip gloss that was more than a beautiful color in the tube but clear on the lips? I wish this more often than i care to admit and most times it is the reason i will pass on lip gloss all together. When i saw Maybelline's Color Goes Electric Color Sensational Lip Gloss in Mirrored Plum (bright purple) and how smooth and pigmented it was,  i was so impressed i had to go back and get them all!

The formula overall of these glossy is non sticky, does not bleed, does not settle into lines, applies evenly, and has only a light sent. Mostly opaque and semi opaque shades. 2-3 hours of wear with light eating and drinking. Many of these shades feel more like a light liquid lipstick rather than a gloss because of their high pigmentation. Applies with a doe foot applicator.

Knock Out Pearl- A sheer shimmer lavender pink gloss with a pearlesq finish. While this shade is the sheerest of the six it still has great pigmentation. Even on pigmented lips it lightens and has a nice shimmer. The shimmer is not glittery though and feels smooth on the lips. Great on its own, layered over lipstick, or liner. Goes well over most pink lipsticks or Maybelline Vivid Shocking Coral.
Mirrored Plum- Bright purple. This gloss is semi-opaque. Shiny and glossy this shade has enough color to stand on its own on bare lips. Also looks great layered over Maybelline Vivids Brazen Berry and Hot Plum.
Striking Peach- Sheer shimmer peach gloss with a pearlesq finish. This shade is also a bit sheer but still gives a lot of coverage on the lips. Lightens gives a nice smooth peach color to the lips. Can be applied over shades like Maybelline Vivids Electric Orange or Orange Edge or on its own.

Punch Of Pink- Creamy baby pink. This gloss is a full coverage without any shimmer. This shade settles slightly into the lines of the lips but only after about an hour of wear. Great to apply over Maybelline Vivids Pink Pop.
Riveting Rose- Bright fuchsia pink this shade is almost completely opaque. Is enough to wear on its own and applies very bright. This shade really does pop on the lips. Great to also wear over Maybelline Vivids Vivid Rose
Fiercely Fuchsia- Bright Fuchsia pink with violet iridescent. There is a light bit of shimmer. This color is very similar to Riveting Rose but the only difference is the slight violet reflection. This shade is great over Maybelline Vivids Fuchsia Flash.

Overall if you are looking for a gloss that packs a lot of pigment or even just a gloss that will cover your lips without settling into fine lines, bleeding, or feeling sticky this is a great choice. At only $7.99 each with above drugstore quality these feel like a steal. The only downside is that these are limited edition and can be hard to find.

Something you normally wouldn't expect from a drugstore brand but Maybelline finally gets what a large majority of ladies want!

Maybelline Color Goes Electric Blush in Wild Blossom, Golden Fuse, and Coral Burst

There are three limited edition blushes from Maybelline Color Goes Electric. Each blush has a baked formula. What impressed me most is for a drugstore brand these blushes were neither too soft or too hard and had minimal fallout. The pigmentation was over and beyond what i expected to see as well. They are quite small and you must be easy opening the top. Sometimes the top sticks and makes dropping these or chipping the blush easy. While i think these colors would be universally flattering on any skin tone, some may not be as daring. As a guide i would suggest that Wild Blossom might look better on lighter skin tones, Golden Fuse would look great on a medium or tan skin tone, and Coral Burst might look best on tan to darker colored tone. Either way these  shades can be built up or blended out. I got about 6 hours of wear on the cheek but i did prime my face and applied foundation under it. Each shade has a bit of a frosty finish with Golden Fuse having the most. These shades are limited edition and can be found in most drugstores for about $7.

Here i am wearing Wild Blossom on my cheeks, Golden Fuse to highlight on my nose, chin, and forehead, along with wearing Maybelline Color Goes Electric Vivid's in Electric Fuchsia. On my eyes i am wearing Going in the Wild by Wet n Wild.

Overall these blushes are high quality at a great brand. The ability to blend them out or build them up makes them versatile for bold looks and also looks with just a pop of color. Universally flattering but also a shade for every skin tone. Great formula with minimal fallout. The only downside is these shades are limited edition. Check out the Maybelline website here!
