Are you a fan of Maybelline New York Color Sensational lipsticks? You may remember the Vivids collection from 2013 or the Buffs that they released last year? This year Maybelline introduced a new permanent collection of Color Sensationals called Rebel Bloom – 8 new “kicked-up” pastels just in time for Spring. The lipsticks feature a new Honey Nectar formula but the same creamy finish and subtle gloss effect that we’ve come to expect with most of the Color Sensational range. The texture of these are light and they seem more hydrating than the originals but what I love most is how wearable the colours are! Unlike typical pastels, these ones are not washed out, chalky or dry. The shade selection, which has been kicked up a notch with the addition of a white base and more vibrant colour, provides great coverage and comfortable wear. Let’s take a look!
