White Gold
Maybelline White Gold Color Sensational Matte Metallics Lipstick ($7.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a soft, golden beige with warm, peachy undertones and a soft, metallic sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, which had even coverage on the lips but uneven texture–it seemed to bunch up i n places and appear almost crumbly at times. The texture was smooth, waxy, and it felt a lot more comfortable than it looked. This shade lasted for three hours on me with some color settling into lip lines over time, while the formula seemed to be neither drying nor hydrating.
The Matte Metallics is the newest finish in the Color Sensational range, and it’s supposed to pigmented, metallic, matte, and have a “comfortable creamy” feel. The formula had a smooth, waxy feel to me–it glided across the lips with ease but was thinner and did not lay down as much color in a single layer. Most of the shades were semi-opaque with some being slightly sheerer or more pigmented, but they were typically buildable. The lipstick was comfortable to wear and lasted between three and five hours on me with some shades being lightly hydrating and others were non-drying. There was a subtle, sweet scent but was significantly subdued compared to other Maybelline lip products.

Pure Gold
Maybelline Pure Gold Color Sensational Matte Metallics Lipstick ($7.49 for 0.15 oz.) is a rich, molten gold with warm, coppery undertones and a metallic sheen. It had medium pigmentation that was buildable to semi-opaque coverage. The texture was smooth, lightweight, and thin with a waxy feel that made it easy to glide the lipstick across my lips but did not seem to translate color as well. It could have applied more evenly, and the color gravitated toward my lip lines within two hours of wear. The lipstick lasted for closer to four hours on me and was non-drying.
