Maybelline Colorsensational NEONUDE NEO1 Blush Beige

Hi guys,
Sorry I haven't been keeping to my one blog post a week schedule! Like Keira said, I had been down with a pretty bad bronchial infection which coincided with my cousin's visit to Singapore, so I have been sick and running around town (definitely not a great combo), it's hard to get down to blogging. I am still pretty tired so today's entry will be short (and hopefully sweet) to alert you to a great drugstore find in Singapore...

New lipsticks by Maybelline!!! Although I have been quite a fan of Maybelline products recently because of their fantastic mascaras, I still believe that Revlon is the winner when it comes to drugstore lip products (think Revlon Lip butters). However with the launch of Maybelline's 2 new color sensational lipsticks, I think Maybelline is now upping their game. Now available  is the BOLDMATT and NEONUDE lipsticks that promises color without drying your lips. I have yet to try the BOLDMATT lipsticks simply because I have too many bold colored lipsticks, but with how amazing the NEONUDEs are, you will be sure I am going in back to the drugstore next week to pick up some BOLDMATTs.

I only allowed myself to bring home one single NEONUDE lipstick in blush beige. The packaging is the same as their usual colorsensational line with a plastic cover which I am not a fan of because of how filmsy it is. However the product in it is pretty awesome, the lipstick is well pigmented, with a velvety finish. It wears for approximately 4 hours without eating which is pretty decent for a cream finish lipstick. The formula  glides on my lips smoothly and doesn't dry my lips (but not as moisturizing as Relvon's lip butters). I would call it a close dupe to Dior addict lipstick in 422 Tokyo which I love and am almost finishing.

In fact, I think pigmentation wise, Maybelline's NEONUDE maybe even better than Dior Addict Tokyo.

Multiple swatches of Dior Addict Tokyo and 2 swatches of NeoNude Blush Beige

Blush Beige swatches on the hand as a warm coral color, while 422 Tokyo is more pink. However on the lips, the 2 lipsticks are pretty similar, with 422 Tokyo swatching a little more beige than Blush Beige.

Blush beige is truly one great "my-lips-but-better" (MLBB) lipstick. Look at how it makes my lips look so soft and plump upon application.

For the overlook, Blush Beige puts together my no-makeup-makeup-look, making me look less sickly, and more radiant. I love it!!

So if you are looking for a cheap MLBB lipstick, give Maybelline's NEONUDE line a try. They are retailing at Watsons, Guardian, SaSa, selected departmentail stores, major supermarkets and hypermarkets for SGD$17.90 (Watsons having a sale now for $14.90)
