As the title suggests these lipsticks are from the ColorSensational Vivids range of lipsticks by Maybelline. However, only the first 2 colours (Neon Red and Shocking Coral) are actually from that collection. Number #175 (Pink Punch) is NOT from the Vivid's collection but I've added it to this post as I think it goes well with the other two. The vivid's come in red packaging whilst the normal selection of colours come in different coloured cases to match the actually lip colour product (like the pink one shown). I really like the packaging, its simple and sleek with the silver, mirrored bottoms and I quite like that it's squared rather than a rounded tube shape that most other lipsticks seem to come in.
The lip colours are bright and highly pigmented, they glide on smoothly and evenly giving great coverage and the colour pay off is fantastic! They last a while and are not drying, in fact they are really creamy and feel soft and easy on the lips. I really love these lipsticks. I will definitely be buying more of them as they are just gorgeous! I'm dying to try out #888 Electric Orange next.


Have you tried them for yourselves? What do you think?

From the Ice Neon Collection

How bright is this? Argh, it's sooo nice! This colour nail polish was the stand out polish for me when I popped into Boots a few weeks ago to pick up some bits and pieces when they had their 3 for 2 promotion. Neon yellow again! Got me in the mood for summer and looking forward to wearing more colour. The colour is packed into a frosted bottle and is intended to be kept cold in the fridge so that the colour will stay as fluorescent and intense and to protect it from fading. I've not done this... I don't think the family would be too happy going in for something yummy and having my nail polish's stood everywhere and so it's just kept in my nail polish stand and hasn't faded at all yet, so all is well! Good good. The only downfall I think this has, is that the finish is matte, whereas I prefer a more glossy look. Nevertheless, a top coat will do the trick and I will be picking up some more of the neons next time I'm out shopping.
