Maybelline Vibrant Violet ColorSensational Creamy Matte Lip Color
Maybelline Vibrant Violet ColorSensational Creamy Matte Lip Color ($7.99 for 0.15 oz.) is a brightened, purple with strong, pink undertones giving it a warmer undertone overall paired with a satin finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage with a lightly creamy consistency so the color applied evenly. The color lasted for five and a half hours, while the formula was neither drying nor hydrating but fairly comfortable to wear. MAC Up the Amp (P, $16.00) is lighter, glossier. MAC RiRi Boy (LE, $16.00) is lighter, less glossy. Kat Von D L.U.V. (P, $21.00) is lighter, less glossy. Kat Von D L.U.V. (P, $19.00) is brighter, less glossy.

Maybelline Electric Pink ColorSensational Creamy Matte Lip Color ($7.99 for 0.15 oz.) is a brightened, light-medium pink with strong, cool blue undertones and a satin finish. It had mostly opaque pigmentation that covered evenly initially, though I had some color slip into lip lines after four and a half hours of wear. This shade lasted for five and a half hours in total and was neither drying nor hydrating. ColourPop Buds (P, $6.00) is darker, less glossy. NARS Angela (P, $32.00) is darker, more muted. Clinique Wow Pop (P, $18.00) is darker, more muted, warmer. Anastasia Party Pink (P, $20.00) is lighter, brighter, less glossy. Kat Von D Backstage Bambi (P, $19.00) is darker, brighter, less glossy. Melt Cosmetics Stupid Love (P, $19.00) is darker. MAC Happy-Go-Lucky (LE, $16.00) is warmer, glossier. Illamasqua Luster (P, $26.00) is lighter, glossier. Bite Beauty Satsuma (LE, $24.00) is darker, warmer, glossier. MAC Candy Yum Yum (P, $16.00) is darker. Maybelline Pink ‘n Chic (P, $7.99) is lighter, more muted.

Maybelline Pink ‘n Chic ColorSensational Creamy Matte Lip Color ($7.99 for 0.15 oz.) is a brightened, light-medium cotton candy pink with strong, blue undertones and a satin finish. It’s definitely not what you’d think of for a matte finish, though it is a lot more comfortable to wear than your average matte as it had more slip. The texture was creamy and lightweight, almost velvety, and lasted for four and a half hours but some color pulled into lip lines over time.
Illamasqua Luster (P, $26.00) is darker, glossier. Kat Von D Armageddon (P, $19.00) is lighter, brighter, less glossy. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Mannequin (P, $18.00) is lighter, brighter. MAC Saint Germain (LE, $16.00) is cooler. MAC Pink Nouveau (P, $16.00) is darker, more muted, glossier. MAC Raspberry Swirl (LE, $16.00) is lighter, more muted. Maybelline Electric Pink (P, $7.99) is lighter, more muted. See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side.
Maybelline Blushing Pout ColorSensational Creamy Matte Lip Color ($7.99 for 0.15 oz.) is a muted, light-medium pink with hints of cooler, mauve tones to it, though it had more of a neutral-to-cool undertone paired with a satin finish. It had fairly opaque coverage that applied evenly overall, but there is some translucency so if you have a stronger natural lip color, it may pull differently on you. It was lightweight, comfortable to wear, and lasted for five hours on me. I did notice some color pulled into lip lines after three and a half hours of wear. Maybelline Ravishing Rose (P, $7.99) is darker, less pigmented, warmer. ColourPop Shimmy (P, $6.00) is lighter, less glossy. Maybelline Lust for Blush (P, $7.99) is darker, warmer. Bite Beauty #005 (LE, $36.00) is brighter, less glossy, cooler. See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side.
Formula Summary: It is supposed to “deliver a burst of bold lip color” with a “creamy texture” and a matte finish. In general, the formula has good color payoff with a velvety, creamy consistency that covers evenly and most shades seem to make lips appear smoother but some shades were prone to pulling into lip lines as the color wore away. The big thing about these is that they have a mostly matte finish and are more comfortable to wear than many matte formulas due to the velvety feel (almost like a silicone primer, but not quite as heavy and not clingy). The formula was neither drying nor hydrating on me. It had a sweet, plastic-like scent but no taste.

Oh, I’ve been eagerly awaiting for reviews and swatches on Vibrant Violet, as soon as I saw it! I already have Heroine and Grind, love these kind of colors. I think Heroine pulls more purple on me and Vibrant Violet will pull more pink, so I’ll grab it.
Awesome 🙂
SO excited for Blushing Pout. It’s ridiculously hard to find a pinky-mauve lip color anywhere.
Woohoo! Enjoy, Jessica!
Wow, absolutely gorgeous on you! This is what I feel matte lipsticks should be, not totally and completely dead flat matte like the ColourPop Ultra Mattes you reviewed a couple of days ago. I look forward to your review of the rest of these Maybellines.
Thanks! 🙂
Every time I turn around they add more colors to this collection! They are pretty but I feel like now so many are starting to look similar!
There are some that are similar!
These are all right up my alley. Ack!
Yayy!
It’s funny that not long ago there were NO purple lipsticks by drugstore brands, and I’m SO glad to see them coming out with them like this! Vibrant Violet looks gorgeous! I like the pinks, but they’re not right for my skintone. 🙁
Hopefully we’ll see even more variety!
Proud of Maybelline! They are doing it right at a reasonable price. Tell me again why I spent 50$ on Tom Ford?!?!?
LOL! 🙂
These would all look a bit too Nicki Minaj on me probably. You can pull ’em all off though.
Nicki Minaj is gorgeous, so I don’t know why that would be a bad thing! 🙂
Oh she is, she’s flawless! But her make-up style would look awful on me, I can’t pull of a lip like that.
So thankful you do these reviews, for Vibrant Violet I have Up the Amp and Heroine, for Pink ‘N Chic I have St Germain & Pink Nouveau. And the last one is too pale for me.
I believe I am set!
Woohoo 🙂
You’re smiling again! These look lovely and your eyes seriously look wonderful! It’s nice to see good reviews for a DS lip! They do get pricey though, especially when they won’t work, so I reserve them only to be bought, during desperate times. I get lost in drugstores, looking at everything.. It’s not safe for me! 😀
Thanks, Lotus!
Vibrant Violet looks so good on you!!
Thanks, Alexa!
I’m really loving the finishes and the quality of the line so far. Not sure I’d pick up these colors for me though.
Maybe some of the original ten shades would be better?
All of them look very pretty on you! I ended up getting all of these except for Pink n Chic. I really like how it looks on you but I have a feeling it’s going to settle into all my lip lines. I’m excited to try the rest of them though!
Aw, thank you Fancie! Glad you scored them!
I just got vibrant violet and all fired up today… Such pretty colors especially for us deeper skin tone women and I really love this formula not super drying and lasts pretty good for drugstore…. You look great as always
It is a nice lipstick formula! The price makes it even better 😀
Oh, my, but these colors are gorgeous. I like!
They are!
Well done, Maybelline. I want them all!
They did a good job with the line!
Oooh I like the look of these, especially the purple one! x
Yay!
Blushing Pout, Blushing Pout. It si so retty, looks similar to HoneyLove from MAC.
I could see some similarity!
