Maybelline Hot Sand, Purely Nude, Peach Buff Color Sensational Inti-Matte Lipsticks

Hot Sand

Maybelline Hot Sand Color Sensational Inti-Matte Lip Color ($7.99 for 0.15 oz.) is a light-medium peach with warm, pale orange undertones and a satin finish. It had good pigmentation, but the consistency was chalk-like in that it appeared drier, almost crumbly on the lips and separated at my lip lines (like a matte, liquid lipstick might after drying down), despite the actual texture feeling very creamy with moderate slip. I think that if worn with a liner, it would look more flattering on. It lasted for three hours on me, but it had severely separated over time. The formula was lightly hydrating overall.

Maybelline’s Color Sensational line does have a sweet, perfume-y scent to them, though it did not seem quite as overwhelming in the Inti-Matte range compared to past launches to my nose.

Purely Nude

Maybelline Purely Nude Color Sensational Inti-Matte Lip Color ($7.99 for 0.15 oz.) is a muted, medium pinky beige with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. The coverage was nearly opaque, while the texture felt creamy, glided on and never tugged, but it had a drier, more grainular look on the lips (though it didn’t feel like actual grains on my lips). The color lasted for three hours with noticeable color that had settled into my lip lines after two hours of wear. I’d highly recommend using a lip primer or lip liner underneath this one.

Peach Buff

Maybelline Peach Buff Color Sensational Inti-Matte Lip Color ($7.99 for 0.15 oz.) is a soft, medium pink with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that went on fairly evnely, though I had a bit of patchiness along the outer edges of my lips. The lipstick had a lightly creamy texture that didn’t feel dry and glided on without tugging, but I felt like the end result looked a little dry and more prone to emphasizing the texture of my lips overall. It wore well for four hours and only had some color pull into lines over time (it was the best of the three in this review!).
