Do you have dry lips like me? Do you want a lipstick that can help moisturize while looking good too?
Well... i sure hope you've heard of Maybelline's Moisture Extreme Lipsticks! These lippies are seriously amazing for when my lips get real dry (specially during winter). Read on for swatches and a full review of why i love them so much!

Packaging - 4/5
This lippie comes in a sleek red packaging with a silver band down the middle. It closes tightly (which i love) and is kind of boxy allowing it to not roll around like some other lipsticks. However, its also not completely square (like the revlon colorstay ones) which makes it fit nicely in your hand. The name is printed clearly on the bottom and overall, i think this packaging is pretty good! The only downside or complaint i have... is i wish it LOOKED nicer hahaha. maybe its just me, im not a hueg fan of the red shade. but other than looks, this lippie sure is packaged well!

I love this line of lippies! :) Not only does it moisturize, but they are also decently pigmented! (i know the swatches look a bit on the sheer side, but trust me, they for sure show up on your lips!) The formula itself i find, is similar to that of MAC lustre's.. kind of a creamy, glossy smooth feeling and i love it! After applied, these lipsticks also leave a very nice healthy sheen.. almost as if you put on some sort of lipgloss :) If you look at the above swatches, you'll see that "glow" im talking about!
The only slight con would be the shorter lasting power. Since it is so moisturizing and silky, theres a tendency for it to be easily wiped off. However, even if it does, i do find that they still slightly stain your lips so you still get some color.
and here's a lip swatch for sugar plum ice and born with it :)

Overall - 4.5/5If you have problems with dry lips, these lipsticks would be a great addition to your collection! Of course, you might still need to apply some lip balm underneath, but this creamy smooth formula will not make your lips happy! :) definately highly recommended!
Have you tried this line of lipsticks before? Tell me what you thought! Im thinking these would be a staple in my purse especially now that winter's coming! :( Calgary has such DRY COLD WINTERS! :( boo...
