Maybelline Orange Aglow Color Elixir Review & Swatches

Maybelline Orange Aglow Color Elixir

Maybelline Orange Aglow Color Elixir is one of five brand new, limited edition shades released with the Maybelline Summer 2014 Bleached Neons Collection.

I LOVE this color. It looks super bright in the packaging but it applies as a completely wearable shade!

Take a peek!

Maybelline Orange Aglow Color Elixir is a bright cream coral orange in the tube. If you’re thinking it’ll apply as bright and as neon as you see in the tube you might be disappointed. But since I can’t really wear bright neon orange I was super happy that it applied a little lighter. It has a milky cream look but on my lips its a natural nude peach.

I find Color Elixir sort of remind me of L�Oreal Colour Caresse Shine Stains but have a bit more moisture and are thicker and creamier and more in consistency when compared to L�Oreal Extraordinaire Lip Color.

I’ve always likened the Color Elixir formula to a melted down lip balm. They have a plush, cushy texture that leave lips nicely hydrated. They aren’t completely weightless but wear comfortably. Pigmentation varies from shade to shade and I think Orange Aglow is a sheerer shade. The formula also has a nice glossy finish with a vanilla-ish/creme brulee taste and flavor and a wear of around 3 to 4 hours.

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    How does this orange compare to the shade mandarin rapture from the original color elixir line?

  • Fancie

    I love the Color Elixirs! I can’t wait to catch these at my local drugstores

  • JenJ

    I was avoiding the Color Elixirs. Then I picked up one of the nude one from the recent nude collection. LOVEEEEE! Now I want more! This one is pretty!

  • Majick

    I love the color but the problem I have with Drugstore buys is, WHY can’t people just leave the seal on? Every time I find a color I want to buy the darn thing has been opened and tested by GROSS GRETA if ya KWIM?

  • kim

    i LOVE this color. it is just like the Urban Decay Naked coral lip gloss. Except it isnt sticky and doesnt smell like rotten creamsicles. I have never purchased a backup before, but i might need another one of these!

  • SusanT

    OMG, I agree with Fancie, I LOVE the Color Elixirs — this is a genius product from Maybelline!!! I hope they keep this product around forever and keep introducing tons of colors in this formula. I can’t wait to get this color. I already have four Elixirs. Hey, Muse, how are you? My kitteh, Daisy, says hi!

    • Isabella Muse

      • SusanT

        • Isabella Muse
