Drugstore Makeup - Maybelline Lip Polish

Okay so I had a wedding to attend a couple of weeks ago, and decided I needed alittle color on my lips. As opposed to the usual nude pink I use. So, I was looking in my lip products drawer and found a lipgloss named "Maybelline Lip Polish in Plum Shine" ... Which confused me because I definately don't remember purchasing it... But anywho I tried it on.

When I put it on I was pleasantly surprised. Being a woman of color, with ummm... slightly larger lips... it's sometimes hard to find colors that don't over exaggerate the lips. But this shade, and gel-based formula looked great! Of course I used concealer around the lips to make it alittle more even, and slightly smaller .. But even without it, it looked really good.

PROS

lasts just about all day

Only have to touch up alittle after I eat

has a nice shine

doesn't seep into cracks of lips

Great price for quality

CONS

May go on alittle sloppy if you apply it unevenly

Repurchase: YES

To add alittle shine, I used NYC's Clear Lip Plumper on top of it. Formula's sticky, but do-able. And makes the lips look candy painted.
