Maybelline Spice for Me, Fuchsia for Me, Plum for Me Color Sensational Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Spice for Me
Maybelline Spice for Me Color Sensational Made for All Lipstick ($7.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark copper with strong, warm undertones and a cream finish. It had rich pigmentation that applied well to my lips in a single, fluid stroke that never tugged or dragged. The texture was creamy without being heavy or overly emollient, which made it comfortable and easy to apply. The color went on evenly and stayed on well for five hours on me and felt lightly moisturizing.

Formula Overview
$7.49/0.15 oz. - $49.93 Per Ounce
The ColorSensational formula is supposed to have "crisp and vibrant color" with a "sensuous finish" that is "comfortable" to wear. The "Made for All" range is specially designed to be "universally flattering" across 50 skin tones for each shade in the line. Most of the shades had semi-opaque to opaque color coverage that went on evenly and didn't settle into my lip lines.
The consistency was lightweight, emollient without being slippery, and comfortable to wear, which ensured the color glided across my lips without tugging. The shades lasted for four to six hours on me with some of the deeper shades staining, while the formula felt lightly moisturizing. The matte finish has a more velvety feel and wasn't hydrating. It had a sweet, caramel-like scent to my nose but no discernible taste.

Fuchsia for Me
Maybelline Fuchsia for Me Color Sensational Made for All Lipstick ($7.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a deep, raspberry pink with subtle, cool undertones and a cream finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied evenly, but there was something about the texture that was more prone to emphasizing my lip texture and catching on imperfections (and as always, I exfoliated prior!). The texture was lightweight, creamy without being too slippery, and comfortable to wear over the five and a half hours it lasted for. The formula felt lightly hydrating over time.

If I didn’t already have a fantastic dupe for it, I would definitely get Spice For Me! It’s a stunner!
Too bad the quality is a little off with Fuchsia For Me. I love that they kept it from running too bluish and instead went warmer with it.
Plum For Me is a worthy contender up against many far more expensive dupes!
spice for me looks beautiful !! and i’ve been looking for a dupe of nars deborah for a while now…very intrigued
Spice For Me is definitely for me! Beautiful shade and I hope we get this in Australia soon.
I definitely don’t NEED Spice For Me cause I own MAC Chili and wear is almost every day (I’m wearing it right now!) but man, it’s really singing to me. gorgeous muted red-brown!!
