Rare
Makeup Geek Rare Iconic Lipstick ($15.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a muted, medium taupe brown with warmer undertones and a matte finish. The consistency was smooth, velvety and was comfortable to apply, as it glided across the lips with ease. It had good color coverage that went on evenly, but it felt a little clingy after an hour of wear. I felt like the texture had a tendency to emphasize my lip lines, and it sunk into them over time. This shade lasted for four and a half hours and was neither drying nor hydrating.

Offbeat
Makeup Geek Offbeat Iconic Lipstick ($15.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark taupe brown with subtle, warm undertones and a glossy finish. It had rich color payoff that yielded opaque coverage that went on evenly. The texture was moderately emollient with noticeable slip and had a more balm-like feel on the lips. Some of the color pulled into lip lines, but due to the actual shade, it did not seem as noticeable as it would have been with a lighter color. This shade wore well for four and a half hours and was hydrating.

Naive
Makeup Geek Naive Iconic Lipstick ($15.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium peach with warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque color payoff that applied decently but could have went on more evenly, as there were some visible streaks and a bit of color sat in my lip lines. The texture was lightly creamy, emollient and comfortable to apply and to wear. It wore for three and a half hours and was moisturizing while worn.

Gullible
Makeup Geek Gullible Iconic Lipstick ($15.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a deep peach with strong pink tones and a matte finish. The consistency was creamy, velvet, and smooth with a heavier look and feel compared to the majority of the shade range, but it did not feel overly heavy to me. It had rich, opaque pigmentation that applied evenly to my lips. The color lasted for five hours and left a stain behind (which was unusual, given the color). The formula seemed a bit drying after four hours of wear.

Did you review Marlena’s first foray into lipstick, a few years ago? Not finding them through search. I was curious about the % price increase. Think I’ll cruise your swatches/ratings of the loaded bolds. Like the four I got, and there’s a maybelline deal frequently on Ulta. Grey Over It and another choice. It IS a good formula. IIRC, only the ‘offbeat’ colors like black, white, navy, purple were low rated. The ‘standards’ were all good. My fave DS product.
I did not (I don’t think I ever had any) – I’m pretty sure the first thing I tried from MUG were their eyeshadows, and I can’t recall if I ever tried their eyeliners either. I know I tried some of the original pigments (I don’t think they were changed, except some of the chunky ones were refined over the years).
Maybelline’s really only downside, IMO, is any scent/fragrance they tend to add to their lipsticks, but if one doesn’t mind it, then it’s not a downside then! The other one, I suppose, is locating a nice, clean one, lol, but that is all drugstore that isn’t sealed. They just launched a bunch of beiges/browns for spring (Inti-mattes), though I’m waiting on my order from Ulta still!
Yes, curious about the Maybelline Inti-mattes. Would love to see swatches, as nudes can be so tricky!
Ohh I really liked Naive in you, too bad it’s underwhelming. I think I am getting into the “natural” lip 🙂
Thank you!
Really liking Offbeat! Great color, I don’t think it will be too warm for me, nice finish, and it’s hydrating 🙂
That seems to be the fave! Maybe not so offbeat after all 😉
Yeah, I guess not! I’m glad cosmetic companies have finally caught on to the fact that some of us look better in neutral lipsticks that have cooler undertones…
Naive Iconic kinda reminds me of MAC Shy Girl!!
I can see some similarity!
Offbeat is well named, an interesting grayish brown!
True!
Gullible is a lovely color. I love pinky peach shades like this. It’s also interesting that it left behind a stain. I can’t recall the last time I saw such a light shade do that.
A LOT of the shades from their lip ranges seem to leave pink/fuchsia stains behind!
Offbeat is OMG level of gorgeous! I really may need to order that one. But I will try on Stone at MAC (with a teeny bit of gloss) first to see whether this sort of very taupe shade could even work with my rather offbeat coloring.
Definitely give Stone a shot!
I’m going to be purchasing Gullible for sure!!A lot of the dupes are some of my favorites!Givenchy Beige Plume,Tom Ford First Time,NARS Audacious Brigette andJulie,and MAC Runway Hit are all lipsticks I have and love.
Enjoy, Nika! 🙂
I like Offbeat and Gullible but not sure I could pull them off.
They are pretty!
Offbeat is really a nice shade and doesn’t have too many dupes. I am pretty sure I don’t have anything like it in my collection but also not sure how it would look on me. I think it would look lovely on my daughter though as she has a darker skin tone with warm undertones. I know there has been a lot of talk about the increase in cost for these lipsticks but I am okay with the cost. Everything has increased in price since MG products were first released and the cost of manufacturing and continuing to develop new products costs money. I also know that I have paid upwards of $25 dollars for a lipstick that isn’t as good as the MG lipsticks. Thank you for the review, Christine.
No problem, Deborah!
