Maybelline Color Jolt Intense Lip Paint

Now that we got the review of Maybelline Shine Shot Glassy Shine Topcoat and Prismatic Lip Topcoat out of the way we can move on to Maybelline Color Jolt Intense Lip Paint! Maybelline Color Jolt Intense Lip Paint is a new pigmented lip color (or liquid lipstick should you like to call it that) that launched with the Maybelline Summer 2016 Collection.

Color Jolt Intense Lip Paint will likely get likened to OCC Lip Tar across many reviews that you’ll be reading but personally, I think the formula is ten times better than Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics! OCC is a bit difficult to work with (well, not as much as it was when it was in a tube! The OCC RTW Lip Tar reboot definitely makes things easier) and tends to migrate plus the thicker formula isn’t for everyone. Maybelline brings the same great color pay off as OCC’s formula but in a thinner, easier to use formula that doesn’t migrate and isn’t difficult to apply in the least.

I love these and I highly urge you to run out and grab a few or all the shades! You won’t be disappointed.

NYX Plush Gel Lipstick Review & Swatches

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

NYX Plush Gel Lipstick

NYX Plush Gel Lipstick ($6.99) is a new slick, gel formula lipstick that launched in 12 shades recently from NYX. As far as I’m concerned, every single lipstick formula should be a gel one!

I love the consistency, texture, and formula of this plus, let’s not forget about the price tag and don’t forget Ulta.com has a Buy 1, Get 1 50% off on select NYX this week! Score!

Now, I’m also in love with the new Sephora Rouge Balm! This is a new gel lipstick that Sephora recently launched that has a super creamy, hydrating texture. If you love that formula you’re sure to enjoy NYX Plush Gel Lipstick which is a thinner, slicker consistency with excellent color pay off.

Maybelline Shine Shot Prismatic Lip Topcoat Review & Swatches

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

Maybelline Shine Shot Prismatic Lip Topcoat

Maybelline Shine Shot Prismatic Lip Topcoat ($5.99) is one of two new lipgloss topcoats that launched with the Maybelline Summer 2016 Collection. I just reviewed the Maybelline Shine Shot Glassy Shine Lip Topcoat earlier this morning for you and Prismatic Lip Topcoat is just another version with a different finish of that formula.

Prismatic Lip Topcoat and Glassy Shine Lip Topcoat were created as companion topcoats for the new Maybelline Color Jolt Intense Lip Paints. These topcoats morph and change the color, consistency, and finish of the Color Jolt formula (or any other lip color you choose to use them on top of)>

I’m actually really loving on the Glassy Shine Lip Topcoat! It quite reminds me of my dearly beloved Too Faced Mirror Mirror Lipgloss from years and years ago. Maybelline Shine Shot Prismatic Lip Topcoat isn’t really my thing but it’s still a very interesting product that performs considerably different compared to Glassy Shine Lip Topcoat. I think Glassy Shine Lip Topcoat has some limitations to what it does where as Prismatic Lip Topcoat not only offers shine but also morphs shades and creates different looks completely when using the new Color Jolts.

Maybelline Shine Shot Glassy Shine Lip Topcoat Review & Swatches

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

Maybelline Shine Shot Glassy Shine Lip Topcoat

Maybelline Shine Shot Glassy Shine Lip Topcoat ($5.99) is a new, super glossy topcoat lipgloss that can be worn alone or over your favorite lip color. Shine Shot recently launched with the Maybelline Summer 2016 Collection as a companion to the new Color Jolt Intense Lip Paints. On their own the Color Jolt formula has a satiny finish where as with Shine Shot on top you can get a lacquer-like finish that brings a ton of shine to the final finish of the lip color.

I’m a massive fan of the long gone Too Faced Mirror Mirror Lipgloss and I was quite excited about checking out Maybelline Shine Shot Glassy Shine Lip Topcoat, in the hope it would be like Mirror Mirror Lipgloss. Lucky enough, it is indeed quite similar to the texture, formula, and finish of it!
