The Spring Season: Maybelline Born With It Lipstick

Maybelline Born With It ColorSensational Lipcolor ($7.49) is a softened pink-nude with soft champagne shimmer and a creamy finish. It has a light sheen, more sheen than glossiness, and it has decent color coverage–though not quite opaque (you can still see my little lip freckle/beauty mark!). This is probably one of my favorite shades of Maybelline lipstick I’ve tried so far! What are your favorite Maybelline shades?

8 Must-Have MAC Pink Lipsticks

About the Temptalia Must-Haves Series

A series of posts showcasing must-have products from MAC Cosmetics’ permanent line of products. Selections are based on quality, universality, uniqueness amongst the line, and the like. Limited edition shades are deliberately excluded to make buying easier. Readers’ comments act as a supplement to these lists of their favorites and must-haves. You can find the entire series here.

Craving lipstick is a soft, muted pinked up raspberry with a creamy, opaque texture.

Shy Girl lipstick is a fleshy, brighter pink that’s more pink than nude. It works well with brighter, bolder eyes, as well as pink/purple looks.

Creme Cup lipstick is a dirty pink lipstick with a very creamy, opaque formula, making it great for more pigmented lips.

Angel lipstick is a sheer, glossy light to medium pink shade with mostly neutral undertones.

Snob lipstick is a slightly opaque, cool-toned pink. This is a great shade for cooler tone complexions.

Bombshell lipstick is a medium, frosty pinky shade with gold and pink shimmer. This is a fun, everyday shade with a kick.

Speed Dial lipstick is a creamy, pigmented medium pink color with blue undertones that works well on many complexions.

Lovelorn lipstick is a sheer, blue-based pink that has a nice, glossy sheen. I like wearing this with neutral looks.

Sweetie lipstick is a semi-sheer medium pink that isn’t bright nor dark. This is one of my favorite pink lipsticks of all-time!

(Please note that this list only includes light to medium pinks–there’s a whole other list for hot pinks! This list also only includes permanent lipstick shades.)
