Maybelline Mauve It Color Sensational The Loaded Bolds Lip Color

Maybelline Mauve It Color Sensational The Loaded Bolds Lip Color ($7.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a deep, muted mauve with subtle, cool undertones and a satin finish. It had very nearly opaque pigmentation with a creamy, velvety consistency that glided on easily and delivered the coverage as promised–one-stroke intensity. The only drawback to this shade was that some of the color seemed to gather in lip lines as the color wore down, but the creamier formula made it easier to press my lips together to smooth the color out of the lines. This shade lasted for four and a half hours and was neither drying nor hydrating. MAC Amorous (P, $19.00) is lighter (95% similar). NARS Save the Queen (P, $26.00) is lighter, cooler (90% similar).

Maybelline Raging Raisin Color Sensational The Loaded Bolds Lip Color ($7.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a medium-dark burgundy-brown with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish.

This shade lasted for five hours, left behind a slight stain, and was neither drying nor hydrating. Milani I Am Strong (P, $6.99) is less shimmery, darker (85% similar).

Maybelline Coffee Addiction Color Sensational The Loaded Bolds Lip Color ($7.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark red-brown with warm undertones and a satin finish.

Maybelline Chocoholic Color Sensational The Loaded Bolds Lip Color ($7.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a deep, reddish brown with subtle, warm undertones and a natural sheen. It was semi-opaque and had moderate slip, which made it harder to apply evenly as it would seep into lip lines and move around a lot. I didn’t experience feathering, which isn’t something I typically experience, but it might be an issue if you are prone to feathering due to the vampy hue and slippery feel. It lasted for five hours, left behind a stain, but it did sit in lip lines easily. Pat McGrath She's So Deep (LE, $40.00) is lighter (95% similar).

FORMULA OVERVIEW | Maybelline Color Sensational The Loaded Bolds Lip Color ($7.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a new set of shades that’s supposed to have “one-stroke intensity” in an “opaque, creamy clay base.” For the most part, the shade range is mostly opaque to fully opaque with some falling short with semi-sheer to semi-opaque, more uneven coverage. The texture is smooth, creamy, lightweight, and it glides on without tugging or dragging; some shades feel more satiny while others have a bit more slip. Unfortunately, some of the ones in this review were particularly slippery, which made them harder to apply evenly. I’m a fan of the Color Sensational formulas, but the one thing that I’m not a fan of (and that can be a deal-breaker) is the scent, which is a very strong, sweet, lightly perfume-y scent that lingers and sometimes tastes soapy.

Mauve It and Raging Raisin look really great, although not particularly “bold” compared to a lot of the other shades in this range. Mauve It is a great anytime color, and I would wear Raging Raisin quite a bit in the fall.

Groan!! So basically I like all of these colors, along with a bunch of the UD Vice lippies, will need to grow a new lip to wear all this. But I don’t think my collection has a color like Mauve It, so will put it on wish list

LOVE today’s posts. Boy, have DS/budget brands upped the game in my lifetime. Maybe Raisin can help me to keep resisting Nori. Unfortunately, I apply the old footwear saw to makeup: ‘If the shoe fits, buy it in every color.’ But in my case, it’s ‘If the color fits, buy it in every brand and very slight variation.’ Funny how we see slight differences in things we adore, and yet see Pro3 and soft serve as too similar. It is truly unreal how your posts can make or break my purchases. Especially on the ones I choose to deselect. Thanks five billion.

Mauve It looks pretty good as does Raging Raisin. I’m worried about the drying nature of these. Usually anything you mention that isn’t drying or hydrating ends up drying me out. I think next to my shins my lips are the driest thing on me, lol.

Mauve It looks quite appealing to me. A great MLBD(eeper) shade that would certainly wear off pretty seamlessly. Liking Raging Raisen, too, but already own MAC Diva. I suppose Diva covers me there.
Then there’s Chocoholic. I LOVE that name, because I am one! But…. Idk about that slippery formula. Think I’ll stick with UD Disturbed instead.

I’m glad I bought “Mauve It” the other day (even though I have the MAC dupe, Craving, already. I’m loving the Greige one I bought previously.

That Raging Raisin is what I remember the 90’s lip REALLY looking like. Everything had “raisin”, “tawny” or “brandy wine” in the name.

Nikole Avatar

So I was in Target yesterday and picked up only ONE of these because I need another lipstick like I need a hole in the head……..so excited now because I chose Raging Raisin, which looks even nicer on Christine than it does in the tube! Patting myself on the back now.

Mauve It was the first color to catch my eye. I wanted to buy it last week but it was already sold out. =( I bought another color instead but I can’t remember which one! I’m so glad these are permanent.

Christine Avatar

Well, it’s pretty rare when I see a post and want/need everything unfortunately,this is it!! I’ve been a lover of brownish lip color since the 90’s (showing my age!) and I really am liking all these colors,even the Mauve one..I’m pretty impressed with the drugstore brands lately,they’re totally stepping up their game! Guess I’ll be stopping at Walgreens in the near future! And btw Christine,your makeup looks beautiful in these posts! Especially the eye color ?

I’m glad these are permanent as I have to brutally cull my current collection of lipsticks. The soapy taste of this selection may be a deal breaker.

I love that Mauve It is similar to 2 of my most used MAC colours (Craving & Amorous). I’ll be picking that one up for sure!
