Beauty Bargain: Maybelline New York Color Sensational Lipcolor in Red Revival

Sometimes, I get sucked in by clever ad campaigns and am disappointed when the product doesn’t live up to its preposterous claims. (Mascara ads are always guilty of this-who do they think they’re fooling with those impossibly long lashes that are obvious CGI trickery? Okay, me.)

Anyway, I ran across an ad for Maybelline’s Color Sensational Lipcolor in Red Revival. Gorgeous red lips. Stunning. I had to have it.

And color me amazed when I tried it on and actually liked it.

It went on smooth as silk and thankfully did not have that awful lipstick-y taste. It stays on pretty well but if you are like me and want it to look consistently fresh, prepare to reapply throughout the day.

But let me warn you, this red lipstick is not for the timid. It’s bright.  You have to really be in a sassy mood in order to pull it off.

Fortunately, I am always sassy.

Available at drugstores.

Price varies from store to store.
