So Hot

Maybelline So Hot Color Sensational Vivid Hot Lacquer Lip Gloss ($7.99 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is a bright, medium orange-red with warm undertones and a cream finish. It had good color coverage in a single layer, though it was not full coverage. The texture was light-medium in weight, moderately sticky, but it adhered and sat well on the lips without feathering or settling into my lip lines. The color stayed on well for over six hours and was somewhat hydrating while worn.

The formula is supposed to have “full coverage” that won’t “feather or migrate” paired with a “high-impact glossy finish.” The formula is light-medium in thickness–by no means a thin, featherweight gloss but not shy of being totally goopy or heavy-feeling–with moderate tackiness. I find that it initially went on feeling like a thicker, creamy gloss with a lot of slip, but it developed into more of a gel-like consistency that adhered better and did not slide around after 20 to 30 seconds. I did not experience feathering or migration with any shades tested so far (and I went for the deeper shades first!). The wear has ranged from four to six hours with a non-drying to lightly hydrating effect. The formula had a subtle, sweet scent but did not taste soapy or linger as long as I have experienced with Maybelline lip products in the past.

Maybelline Classic Color Sensational Vivid Hot Lacquer Lip Gloss ($7.99 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is a bright, medium-dark red with subtle, warm undertones and a cream finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that applied evenly to the lips. The gloss was moderately tacky without feeling heavy or goopy, and while it felt more cream-like when I first applied it, a minute or so later it felt more gel-like. I was impressed by how the gloss did not sink into my lip lines and how it did not feather over time. It wore well for six hours and was lightly hydrating. (I have no idea what happened to the applicator; that was how it arrived and it was the only applicator that was wonky.)

Obsessed

Maybelline Obsessed Color Sensational Vivid Hot Lacquer Lip Gloss ($7.99 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is a deep, reddish-berry with cool undertones and a cream finish. It had good color coverage, though you could see my lip freckle peeking through. The upside was that it applied evenly and smoothly, which was quite the feat for this type of color and format. The consistency was creamy going on initially, but it developed into a more gel-like consistency that was moderately tacky. This shade wore well for six hours and was lightly moisturizing.
