Packaging:
The Maybelline Color Sensational Jewels Lipstick has a sleek bullet-shaped design with rectangular packaging. The holographic-like cover adds an intriguing touch, and the cap matches the lipstick shade, facilitating easy identification. While the metallic tube exudes an expensive appearance, it tends to attract fingerprints. Despite this, the packaging is travel-friendly, combining practicality and glam.
Look And Feel:
The lipstick boasts a butter-smooth texture, effortlessly gliding over the lips without tugging or pulling. One application provides opaque coverage, and additional layers can be added for intensified color. Notably, it lacks any unpleasant smell, enhancing the user experience.
My Take:
As an avid lipstick enthusiast, I couldn’t resist trying Maybelline’s Jewels collection. The shades, named after precious stones, promise a glamorous touch. Opting for the ‘Pink Tourmaline’ shade (No. 143) for upcoming festive events proved to be a brilliant choice. True to its name, the warm pink hue with subtle blue undertones and fine shimmer offers a lively yet refined look. Ideal for relaxed and gold skin tones, particularly those with MAC skin tones NC20 to NC35, this color adds a frosty allure that complements the celebratory spirit. However, it’s essential to exfoliate the lips beforehand for optimal results.
The lipstick impressively lasts 4-5 hours, even with meals, though pigmentation starts fading after 3 hours, leaving a pleasing stain. A notable drawback is its pronounced transferability, requiring careful blotting with tissue and translucent powder to minimize contact transfer onto surfaces like coffee mugs and glasses.

Final Verdict
This lipstick has a beautiful shade with a great texture. So, if you are in a festive mood and want some celebration on your lips, go for this shade without any second thought. It is apt for nighttime usage. It does not need any preparation to wear, although it transfers a lot. Also, this specific shade does not suit all skin tones. But still, I recommend this lipstick to everyone. You can always choose the most suitable shade from the many colors available.
