REVISITED | Maybelline The Jewels by ColorSensational in Amethyst Ablaze Review
June 01, 2013
I bought this a couple of months ago, and if I remember it
right, that’s even before my dad got sick and then completely forgot about it. These days, I have my personal vow
to only spend when I have at least three gold bars in my apartment (goodness,
that would be awesome, haha). Sick, noh? I just realized it’s more effective to
be frugal when you stop counting your few pesos as if they are gold.
Anyhow, I picked up this Maybelline The Jewels by
ColorSensational in Amethyst Ablaze during one of my Maybelline field trips at
the mall. The only thing which bothered me in the beginning were the glitters.
Oh my God, they were like screaming Vegas to me. But don’t be fooled, because
when you applied it, it wasn’t that bad afterall.
Me Says:
Buildable color.
The first swipe is a hint of
purple with few glitters on them. The trick is to swipe few times and pronto,
the color’s going to blend in your lips beautifully.
Affordable.
This retails for Php 399.00 in your
local beauty department stores.
Creamy and it glides.
It does feel heaven to
know that it glides to your lips even without the balm.
Moisturizing.
Yes- the finish is somewhat
satin-like. Not matte.
Dislikes:
Staying power wasn’t that good for my lips.
However you can apply lip primers or a hint of concealer or tap a colorless
powder to keep it matte.
Overall Verdict:
4.5 Lipsticks

I just realized it doesn't look to purple-ish with the camera. Awww.
Despite it not being matte, what I like about it is that it
complements my skin tone. The glitters completely disappear when you wear this
with extra few swipes. The buildable formula, IMHO is really the best selling
point of this product because you can tame or “wild” it depending on how you
want your look to be.
I read some bloggers compare this with MAC Violeta and it
may not be an exact dupe but close. Wow, isn’t that great news? Maybelline vs
MAC? Why not?
Buy Again: Yes, sure. It is one of the most affordable
purple/ violet lippies out there.
Love,
Miss J
