Review: Maybelline Stripped Nudes lipsticks

Maybelline came out with the Buffs collection end of last year in the U.S. and I literally drooled watching Youtube videos of hauls, swatches and reviews on their lipsticks. It was to my pleasant surprise that the Stripped Nudes (equivalent to the Buffs I assume) were released in Australia in February this year and the best thing was that they were on sale during the week that I visited Perth! They regularly retail for AU$16.95 which is similarly to other lipsticks in the Colorsensational line but I only paid AU$9.99 at Chemist Warehouse.

This collection also has 4 new limited edition shades of their Color Show nail polish which retails for AU$5.95 each. Comparing the U.S release and the Australian one, the Buffs features 10 lipsticks and 5 nail polishes while Stripped Nudes offers 6 lipsticks and 4 nail polishes. As I was trying to be good about not buying makeup on this trip, I resisted buying any polishes and got only 2 lipsticks.

I love how there are several shades to choose from even though they are all nudes. Between the 2 shades I got, my favourite is Tantalizing Taupe because it is more pinkish. Both are smooth and apply evenly with great pigmentation on my lips. Definitely wished we had the whole range available in Singapore. Still, I'd thoroughly recommend these if you're a nude lip lover and is able to get your hands on it!
