A Great Spring Shade: Maybelline Extreme lipstick in Plum Wine
Labels: Make-up Musings 8 commentsFor Spring, I like a fresh, watermelon hue that reminds me that while it is raining outside, I will not loose my cool and shout at the rain gods with anger/murder in my voice. See how powerful a bright, cheery but still easy to wear shade of lipstick is?
I have been having a torrid affair with Maybelline's Moisture Extreme lipstick in Plum Wine for the past couple of months. Before I talk about how much I love the texture, let me first tell you how much I love the colour. Finding a decent but fairly bright watermelon colour is very rare for me. I always run the risk of looking like a one-hit-wonder from the 80s desperately trying to hang on to my fame by sticking to my signature fuchsia lips. This is why I always look for lipsticks with some plum in them to help make the colour more wearable. Plum Wine is a combination of wine, pink, and plum tones that is surprisingly easy to wear.
The texture of the lipstick lives up to the name and I find it very moisturizing. Not only that, it has no detectable scent I can discern. This is a huge plus for me because I don't need any strong smell literally under my nose. Plum wine doesn't last as long as a traditional cream formula because it is fairly sheer but it fades off evenly. However, it is a great choice when I don't necessarily want a heavy look.

Plum wine looks like a color I need to try. I haven't tried Maybelline lipsticks before, but after this post, I think I'm going to ;).

Went out and bought this color...works great. It compliments the natural pinks on my lips...nice and buttery too.

This looks like the perfect color for every woman. It's not too overpowering, but it gives off a definate brightness.
I can't stand when I buy a color and then it looks completely different on! I will definately pick this product up.
Thanks for the post =)
