Hey guys,
I didn't officially announce it before but I got a job at Fat Mu! ^w^
The work is great, but the timings can be a bit irregular and that's why I haven't posted in so long! I'm trying to get a schedule (not that it will help much) to get back on the blogging track!
Today I'm going to do a short review on the new Maybelline Bold Matte lipstick in shade MAT 2.
I've been waiting eagerly for this to release in India! I've seen a few reviews from South East Asian bloggers who hated it but I was still hopeful! And I'm glad I was, I loved this lipstick!
Price:
Rs. 375/-
Packaging:
The packaging of the Bold Mattes is exactly like the normal Colorsensational range with the only difference being the matte casing! The matte effect gives the lipstick a very modern look, which is great!
My only irk with the packaging is that the twist up mechanism of the bullet seems a bit loose. :(
That might just be the one I got though...

Smell and Texture:
The Bold Matte lipsticks seem to have no smell! YAY! I'm tired of fragranced products, I'm so glad that Maybelline didn't put their typical vanilla-coconut scent in this one!
There is probably silicone in this lipstick because the texture is super smooth and creamy, even though it is a matte lipstick, which can be very drying!
Full points on formula!
Lasting Power:
The Bold Matte in MAT 2 lasted over 4-5 hours which is normal, it left a very slight stain and faded completely after a big pasta meal.
Swatches:
 |
| L: 3 swipes R: 1 swipe |
As you can see this MAT 2 shade is a orange coral colour, one of my favourite shades and very similar to a lot of lipsticks I own!
Here's a comparison:
 |
| From Left to Right: Maybelline "Coral Crush", Maybelline Superstay "Stay with me Coral", Sleek "Coral Reef", Maybelline Bold Matte "MAT 2", NYX "Haute Melon", MAC "Party Parrot" |
It appears more orange than most of those shades, except Haute Melon but translates similarly on lips.
Sadly, I don't have a lip swatch at the moment but I will add one here soon!
I totally recommend the Bold Matte lipsticks! I can't wait to try more of their colours! The shades are smooth, creamy and opaque with a semi-matte finish, unlike many very drying matte lipsticks out there!
Definitely chack these out!
