What: The Maybelline Color Sensational Range in nr 530 Fatal Red. The denominations of lipsticks are completely different in the US compared to the UK, and in the UK compared with the rest of Europe. For example i tried to find the Rimmel Airy Fairy and the other pink from Maybelline (don't remember the name but every beauty blogger raved about it) but it was impossible. So the lipstick might be marketed under a different name.
The consistency is adorable, very creamy but not cakey at all. It also has a rather shiny finish (not shimmery, just glossy) which i love.
The color is beautiful. It's a pure Russian red, no orange,pink or purple undertones at all. The photos are quite exact but still, the real red doesn't manage to get through 100%. It's a stunning, classic bright red i've always wanted to have in my collection but always came across wacksters such as the Dior lipsticks (they all have a mauveish undertone i can't stand) or the Chanel ones (way too pricy). This is a perfect dupe.
It tends to bleed a little bit so make sure you set your lips with powder, lip primer and a good lip liner. However, it's not as hazardous as other drugstore lipsticks that don't even have a pure red lipstick.
I have worn this twice only (in public, haha), once, the day i bought it, and the second time at a cocktail party. I am not bragging or anything but i noticed all the men on the street were looking at me (1st time) and my black dress, dark ponytail, pearl earrings and this red lipstick were the sensation of the evening at the party :). And i MEAN it.

(just natural light, like all the other pics)
It's already one of my favorites. The only other red shade i would ever purchase is the Chanel Hydrabase in Red nr.5....for the moment.
