Love it: Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids lipstick

It’s winter round these parts and in my opinion there is no better time to rock a bright lip - the punchier, the better! You can leave the rest of your face as bare as you please, and if you’re sporting a duller than usual winter outfit it is the perfect pick me up.

One of the brightest and best formulas for bright, colourful lips I’ve come across lately is Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids lipstick. I don’t know who is in charge at the global beauty giant these days, but they’re coming out with collections that look and feel fun and youthful, and the Vivids range is no exception. An eight-shade collection of insanely bright lipsticks, they are created using special patented pigments that help the colour stay true and sit on your lips for high coverage as well. Unlike many lipsticks, they’re also not drying at all - which is super-important when you’re wearing bright shades that accent any crack or feather.

Aside from the classic red (On Fire Red), I think the most wearable brights in the range are the Shocking Coral (bright coral) and Vivid Rose (a classic fuchsia). Pink Pop  is definitely for the braver amongst us, but gorgeous nonetheless!

Oh and the price? Pretty much a steal at $20.99 so no excuse not to!
