Drugstore Gem: Color Sensational

Posted by in suggestion | Comments Off

Drugstore Gem is a titled given to those exceptional products that I’ve discovered at the drugstore. While there is no shortage of products to choose from in the beauty aisles, these particular products stand out and shine. Prices will vary based on your location, so be sure to check out your local stores for that information.

Born With It, Toffee Tango, Mauve-ulous, Coral Crush

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipcolor

  • 48 colours to choose from
  • includes four shade ranges; pink, neutral, plums & reds
  • strong pigmentation, but can easily be sheered down
  • includes both cream and subtle metallic finishes

It was interesting to discover that there were some similarities between the shades I’ve been using and some MAC favourites. I wouldn’t call any of them exact dupes, but they’re close enough to mention and to keep in mind if you’re looking for a cheaper back up option.

Born With It is a slightly lighter and shimmery version of Angel.
Toffee Tango is a smidgen darker than Touch.
Coral Crush reminds me of a deeper Vegas Volt.

Have you tried out any of these lipsticks? What’s been your experience? Do you have a favourite colour?
