Hello! Today I am carrying on from my recent post MAYBELLINE COLORSENSATIONAL CREAMY MATTE LIPSTICKS REVIEW & SWATCHES//MAKEUP, and talking about the new Maybelline Color Drama Intense Lip Paints set to be released in the UK in the next few weeks! These lip paints have been available in the US for months, and the time has come for us Brits to finally be able to get our hands on these bold glosses.

This product is described as "Maybelline's vibrant lip paint delivering 8x more pigment in every drop." Maybelline state that this products goes "beyond a gloss with a jolt of intense color."

As far the packaging goes, the product comes in a 6.4ml tube with a sponge tip applicator making it really lightweight and perfect for travelling. I always use a lip liner when it comes to applying any lip products no matter what the formula or finish, however, my first impressions of this product was incredible as I tried it without a lip liner and was astonished how easy it was to get a clean finish. The sponge tip applicator dispenses the product evenly and makes the intensely pigmented formula glide onto your lips evenly and effortlessly.

Surprisingly, and I say surprisingly because for some reason glosses just aren't my favourite lip products (horrific I know), I am obsessed with the formula of these lip paints. In the past, lip glosses I have tried have been very sticky and always leave that annoying string like mess of product between the top and bottom lip as you are talking (if that makes any sense) which I cannot stand, so I was a bit hesitant trying these products. But due to these being designed as a lip paint with a glossy finish, the crazy pigmentation glides onto your lips with ease and delivers an intense shine with a beautiful, vibrant colour. The creamy texture is so luxurious on the lips, not in the slightest drying with no stickiness or mess, no smell and they are really long lasting. It fair to say, these lip paints have given me hope that I can love glossy lips as much as a do a matte finish!

The 4 colours being released in the UK are: 110 Never Bare, 120 Fight Me Fuchsia, 520 Red-dy Or Not and 370 Vamped Up. Below I have swatched all the colours on my lips!
