One of the first lipsticks I ever tried was Maybelline so they have always held a special place in my heart. They also make the Color Sensational lipsticks which is one of my two favorite drugstore lipstick brands. So when they released a line of 10 nude lipsticks I couldn’t contain my excitement.
You can usually find a bunch of options in the drugstore for colorful lipsticks but there is a serious lack of nude shades for some brands; they have maybe two nude colors total which is absurd. Lips come in a variety of shades so there should be a variety of nude lipsticks right?! Thanks Maybelline for filling the gap withe the Buffs Collection. I have the four colors reviewed for you today.

The Color Sensational in the Buffs line contains mostly satin finishes which is nice because they will not dry out your lips, they have excellent wear time; I can get through a workday with only one touch up after lunch and they have that classic faint lipstick scent which does not transfer to the lips.

The caps on all the lipsticks are identical so make sure you turn the lipstick over to see what shade you’re purchasing.

I only got four shades…but I secretly want more…a CVS trip may be in my near future!

Natural Lip Color

For comparison of the swatches below above is a picture of my very pigmented natural lips.

Maple Kiss  is a dark pinkish orange that pulls it’s color from Maple leaves as opposed to maple syrup as you would assume. Orange lips are all the rage right now so this is definitely a favorite!

Touchable Taupe  is just that….taupe. I my opinion this shade is slightly too light for me; it can run a little corpse like if I’m not careful in person. I kind of like how this is looking in this swatch though, what do you think?

Maybelline Color Sensational The Buffs Lipstick Untainted Spice

Untainted Spice is my perfect shade of nude for this collection. It gives my lips a more uniform color which I love. This is my favorite out of the four.

Espresso Exposed is a nice chocolatey red which I have been wearing to work lately. It’s dark but not dark enough where it’s inappropriate in a business environment. It can be a little splotchy, but that’s nothing careful application or a lip liner can’t fix.

Are you still reading this review or have you gone to the car to go to the store? In any case let me know your thoughts!

I’ve tryed them too, and I absolutely loved them! I would love to buy them all. I also tried pink pop I think it was (little bit more summery colour) but also amazing!
