Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids

Hey All!~

I purchased these two new lipsticks from Maybelline on my trip to New York last week. I am not really sure if these two colours are in the permanent line as it is labeled as limited edition on the casing. Well, if you have difficulty finding these, I got them from DuaneReade drugstore.


It is pretty rare to find such vibrant lip colours in the drugstore line. I barely own any super bold and bright lip colours before, and after watching several good reviews on these lipsticks I decided to give it a go. I do agree with the positive reviews on these lipsticks, they are super pigmented, hydrating, lasts a long time, does not emphasize the crack line on the lips (works if you do not have severe dry lips) and it does not bleed.

970, Electric Fuchsia:
Cool pinkish magenta

980, Orange Edge:
Cool Orange slanted towards red

Both colours are not neon bright, Electric Fuchsia is definitely more eye-catching than the other. I prefer to apply the lip colour directly from the bullet and soften the edges using my ring finger.

Hey all!

It is really important to ensure that all your makeup applicators are clean before using it, sometimes washing them weekly is not enough. I have been using these two products since August 2012 and I personally feel that they are really effective. It help me to keep blemishes at bay, and makes me feel more at ease when I re-use my brushes to apply my makeup.

I usually spritz some cleanser on my brushes and some on a tissue, and gently swirl your brush bristles on the tissue until most of the makeup has been removed, it will dry really quickly. I do this on a daily basis before applying my makeup. Even so, I do wash my makeup brushes with soap and water on a weekly basis to ensure that they are thoroughly clean.

I use the cosmetic sanitizer mist every now and then on my powder makeup products, such as my compact face powder, eye shadow, blushers and bronzers. By keeping the makeup products clean, this will extend the lifespan of your makeup products.

Brush cleansers are now more common in the market, there are other brands such as Makeupforever and Sephora which sells them if you cannot get BeautySoClean brush cleanser.


There is a online store for the UK, US and Canada where you can purchase BeautySoClean products. In Singapore, it is available in certain Watsons store.
