Maybelline Color Elixir by Color Sensational

Color Elixir by Color Sensational
By Maybelline


Instantly Intrigued by the Packaging!

I was instantly mesmerized by the beauty of this lipgloss when I first saw it. I was in awe of the packaging and what it promised. To be a lipgloss/lip treatment that feels cushioning on your lips while it still delivers color and high shine gloss.

Here is the Skinny on the Color Elixir by Color Sensational from Maybelline:



Fall under the spell of the elixir effect
Hyper-saturated color, ultra cushiony feel
The new hypnotic lip sensation

Look how the bottom looks like a Lipstick!

This lipgloss feels so good going on, it almost feels like a lip treatment. It feels like a lip gloss and treatment in one. It feels soft and very very cushiony. I think those truly are the best words to describe how it feels going on. The feeling does not go away quick either, it last for quite a while. It also leaves a very glossy looking effect to you lips. I only bought the Color Elixir in one color because I was not sure if it was going to deliver, but I will be definitely going back for more. There are 20 shades to chose from, which means 19 more for me to pick from and 20 for you. I will update this post once I purchase more with swatches of more colors. I decided to play it safe with the first color I picked and get a very pretty beige nude for the Fall. You can never go wrong with a beige nude.

I love these types of applicators.
The really help with precision and getting right
up into the cupids bow of your lip!
"60 Nude Illusion" Swatched
I had to get the right lighting to show the true color.
 It looks a tad orange in the previous pictures!
I had too many Lights on!
Update: As promised, I went back for more shades and I would like to share them with you!! I definitely think they are worth the money and will be such a treat this winter! The winter and cold weather tends to dry out lips more often and I felt these were an investment in my lips. These Hybrid Lip Gloss/Lip Balms will be just what I will be grabbing for in those harsh cold months!

Still in Love with the Packaging!

Top to Bottom: "075 Fuchsia Flourish" "050 Caviar Couture"
"100 Petal Plush" "045 Amethyst Potion" 
Swatched:  "075 Fuchsia Flourish" "050 Caviar Couture"
"100 Petal Plush" "045 Amethyst Potion" 

Very Pigmented!! I love how these lip gloss/balms look the same color in the tube on your lips!!

Final Thoughts:

I am so excited to share these with you. I think this lip gloss was a steal for under 8 dollars for all the benefits it includes and how good it feels on your lips. Please let me know if you have tried the Color Elixir and if you like them. I am loving them and I know your lips will love them too.

Thanks,

I have heard mixed reviews about these. People either really enjoy them or they don't. I saw them in the store but I had just read a bad review so I didn't want to buy any. But this makes me want to try it. Thanks for sharing, you have me intrigued. (◕‿◕✿)

Thanks Shalunya,

Yes I was not sure how they were going to be, so I only bought one. I really enjoyed it. I really think that it is the feeling on my lips. I am a huge lip balm junkie, so maybe it has something to so with it being a hybrid lip gloss that make it feel so great! I think this one will be so perfect for the cold harsh winter months coming too. Thanks for getting intrigued. Let me know if you get it..:)

I love the packaging as well! I actually haven't seen these anywhere, they sound great! Can't wait to get my hands on a couple of shades. I'm not a huge lip gloss type of gal but if it's as good as it sounds I'm sure I'll love it!

I wouldn´t have even looked at this gloss just by seeing the colour in the packaging, but when I saw it on your skin now I will check it out. Wouldn´t have thought it would be such a great nude!
