Spring has finally arrived, which means it’s a new season so it’s time to upgrade and bring out the new you.

Spring is the perfect season to play around with colors, so spice up your everyday look with fun shades of lipstick. Maybelline’s Color Sensational Lipstick comes in 68 different captivating shades, such as ‘Pink Me Up,’ ‘Plum Shine’ and ‘Red Revival’. With all various colors Maybelline offers, you will definitely fall in love with one of these stunning shades.

When it comes to hunting for the perfect lipstick there are a few questions I ponder on before I make my purchase such as, how rich is the lip color, will it nourish or dry out my lips and is it affordable?

When I came across Maybelline’s Color Sensational, I was hesitant about buying it at first, but with all the fun shades that were offered, I knew I had to try at least one. The first Maybelline lipstick shade I ever purchased was ‘red revival’ and the first day I wore it I fell in love.

When I applied the lipstick it was true to color and it glides on so easily in an even application on the lips. I personally apply a clear gloss over my lipstick for a shinier, glossy glow.If you do decide to use a gloss remember not to overdo it because you don’t want your lipstick to go from “poppin” to greasy.

One thing I did notice about this lipstick is I find myself reapplying it throughout the day, on average it last about 3-4 hours. To prevent this from happening, I suggest using a lip primer before applying your lipstick to help extend the life of the lipstick application throughout your busy day.

After purchasing my first Color Sensational lipstick I had to keep going back for more. I have been playing around with a variety of shades and I currently just purchased ‘Lavender Voltage,’ which is a bright intense purple. I think this color is perfect for the spring and it goes with everything.
