Review: Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lip Color!

#VividMatte

Influenster sent me two of the Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lip Colors for review so that's exactly what I'm doing to day! :-) They retail for about $8 at most drugstores and there's a total of 10 shades in the line. I've worn Nude Flush and must say this formula is really different from what I was expecting.
Maybelline claims that it's a creamy formula with a velvety finish once dry. It's full color coverage with an intense, rich look. I definetely agree with the creamy formula claim. The finish is questionable because I don't feel like it actually dries down...ever! So although it's comfortable since it's not drying out your lips, it becomes messy and transfers! Maybelline does recommend to apply thin layers for a better outcome. Also, if you want an ultra-matte finish to blot with a tissue. I guess it's customizable but there's other liquid lipsticks that dry down and last without having to do all the extra things.

The two colors I received are super pretty! Rebel Red is my favorite because the tone it's pretty darn perfect. The swatches above are right after application. They have a strong slightly floral scent (reminds me of the elixirs) that lingers for a bit but not all day. 

Here's what Nude Flush looks like after blotting it with tissue. It does make it more matte but it takes away from the color payoff and they just don't end up lasting. 

Bottom line: The colors in the line are really pretty but the formula is not my favorite. For how vivid most colors in the line are the formula doesn't work because it transfers and it's not really matte. It's definetely a satin finish so if you're looking for that this product would be perfect! :-)
