Hi everyone! It's been so long since I did a post here because I've been very occupied with trying to finish my last semester in school, and now that I'm done... I was enjoying myself a little bit too much, heh! I'm more free now, so expect lots of posts coming up :)
I recently went back to Jakarta, and of course, I have to drop by drugstore make up counters because the prices there are slightly cheaper! Also, they have a wider range of colours for some.. Like the Revlon Colorstay Foundation and L'oreal True Match! Will leave that for another post next time~
First up, the ColorShow Lipsticks! I think, the ColorShow range is an even more affordable range from Maybelline. Then again, Maybelline are not super cheap in Sg, thus these lippies priced at $10 each are considered super affordable.
Packaging
The packaging is very very simplistic, and very light to carry around. Otherwise, nothing exciting about the packaging. It is made of plastic, doesn't feel luxe and not durable. What to expect though? Lower cost = lower selling price! Hahaha.
Product
I love Maybelline lipsticks, especially the Color Sensational and So Nude range. I mostly got this because it was very cheap. I got them in four colours: 403 Plum Perfection, 107 Pink Paradise, 305 Nude Mocha, 301 True Toffee.
The product is surprisingly very very pigmented, smooth consistency and sit well on my lips. I said surprised because really, I bought this because it was cheap and they didn't have any proper testers at the counter on the first day that I went. Most of the testers are almost finished so I barely had any chance to test them on.
The lipsticks are creamy and buildable. It has a slightly glossy finish, so your lips will not look super dry or cracked. Some of the lipsticks contain very fine glitter (e.g. Pink Paradise) - I'm a big fan of glitters but NOT on my lips! However, it doesn't show up too strikingly, actually, it doesn't even show up at all unless you stare at your lips closely after applying.
My fav of the lot has got to be 305 Nude Mocha. When I opened it, the lipstick was off the tube and it was stuck on the cover, OH THE HORROR. But I kept calm and tried to pull it out, it was a success. Hahaha. Nude Mocha turned out to be a red colour with brown base on me, it is super duper creamy and it was just love at first sight!

Swatches
In the same order: 403 Plum Perfection, 107 Pink Paradise, 305 Nude Mocha, 301 True Toffee.
Application
Swatches on my lips! These wore great on me throughout the day with lip liner below :)
Verdict
For the price, I definitely think the product works great. I would definitely buy more if I had a chance to... Even though I only have a pair of lips... HAHAHA. This will work great as a stocking stuffer for Christmas presents, or when you wanna try out new colours but don't dare to splurge just yet :)
Quick Summary
The great:
- Affordable
- Huge colour range
- Easily available
The not-so-great:
- Melts too easily
- Packaging not durable
The Maybelline ColorShow Lipsticks are available at any supermarkets and drugstores with Maybelline counters. They are priced at $9.90 each.
Do let us know if you've tried any of these ColorShow lipsticks and how you feel about them! I was pleasantly surprised because honestly, I didn't expect them to work so well on my lips :)
♡♡,
Flo
