Maybelline Color Elixir Reviews and Swatches

I’m definitely more of a lipstick girl than a lipstick aficionado. I think that gloss has its place in my makeup drawer, but I find myself reaching for the lipsticks more often than not. I saw these for sale at Target and was immediately drawn to the fact that they look so similar to the Dior lipglosses, but of course, at a fraction of the price.

I have two colors for you today, Celestial Coral and Madarin Rapture.

L-Madarin Rapture, R-Celestial Coral

I love the packaging on these. Sleek, modern, and with a great doefoot applicator that delivers just the right amount of gloss. The colors are also wonderfully glossy without being sticky. Weartime is average. You won’t get any miracles out of it. I think three or four hours is okay for a gloss, and that’s all you’ll find here. 

I love these for dressing up a little when I'm running to class, or a few errands. They're easy to put on and add a little extra polish onto a no-makeup day.

The only downside I can see is that these have a funny smell/taste. It's a fake-y floral and I'm not a big fan of that. I can power through it, so I think that these definitely have a place in my everyday makeup bag.
