Maybelline Almond Rose, Toasted Truffle, Brown Blush Color Sensational Inti-Matte Lipsticks

Almond Rose

Maybelline Almond Rose Color Sensational Inti-Matte Lip Color ($7.99 for 0.15 oz.) is a slightly brighter, medium-dark pink with subtle, warm undertones and a satin sheen. It had excellent coverage with a smooth, lightly creamy consistency that glided across the lips comfortably. It wore well for four and a half hours with a bit of color that had settled into my deeper lip lines, but overall, it was lightly hydrating and didn’t emphasize the texture of my lips like some of the other shades in the Inti-Matte range did.

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.

Toasted Truffle

Maybelline Toasted Truffle Color Sensational Inti-Matte Lip Color ($7.99 for 0.15 oz.) is a muted, dark plummy brown with warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that covered the lips with even coverage. The texture felt more emollient than other shades with less heaviness (though I would not characterize the formula as heavy)–it just seemed a little more balm-like when I applied it to lips directly from the tube. This shade wore well for four hours on me and was lightly moisturizing.

Brown Blush

Maybelline Brown Blush Color Sensational Inti-Matte Lip Color ($7.99 for 0.15 oz.) is a medium-dark plum with neutral-to-warm undertones and a satin finish. It had rich color payoff that applied evenly and smoothly to my lips. The consistency was lightweight, creamy without being slippery, and comfortable to wear. The color stayed on well for four and a half hours, left a faint pinkish stain behind, and was lightly hydrating.
