Review - Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Stain




I brought this product on a complete whim, I'd never even heard of it before. I was on the hunt for the new Maybelline BB Cream at my local Tesco, which I found along with a 3 for 2 offer. You just cant pass an offer up can you! So I purchased this along with a Lipstain Gloss (also amazing), in shade 480 - Shy Red. And let me tell you, I am super impressed. It has a felt tip pen like nib for easy aplication and applies matt. so for those of you that don't like a gloss this is perfect. Those that do you can apply it on top!

It doesn't last as long as you would imagine a lip stain to, but Maybelline have made no atttempt at claiming it Does (Unlike the Lip Stain Gloss). Id say after 2 maybe 3 cuppas' its on its last legs. Another thing I love about this product is the texture, you would think with a matt finnish it would leave your lips feeling super dry. I't doesn't. and it tastes fantastic. All things factured in I think maybelline have done a fantastic job, I would say my only qualm is the packaging which feels a little cheap. However, the product definitly makes up for that. I think id rather spend £5 on a great product in not so great packaging than £20 on a mediocure product in fancy packaging.

If you hurry tescos currently have this on offer £3 instead of £5 and boots have 3 for 2.

have you tried this? what do you think?

Sophabulous is born..

Well hello there fellow beauty lovers, and welcome to my blog. It was only in recent months that I discovered there was such a fabulous beauty community, where girls/women like I share their love for beauty related brilliantness (if that’s a word). So I decided to create Sophabulos as a place of release for all the excitement and love for all things pretty and creative. 

You’re probably thinking oh god another one on the horizon.. this is getting boring, but ya’know I’m just happy to type away to myself, after all its got to be better than your excitement being laughed at by those less interested people in my life. I hope by having this blog I can network with people who share my passion and enjoyment for all things creative and share hints tips and tricks as well as making some friends along the way. Cos you can never have to many and I have more than enough love and happiness to go around J.

Here you will find tutorials, reviews (because I spend far too much money I don’t have on products that sometimes are great value for money and others do the opposite of what they say), DIY jewellery, storage, advise, book reviews (because I’ve become a bit of a book geek), nail art and much much more. So if you think any of the above would be of interest to you then please hit the ‘join site’ button and keep updated on all new posts.
