Review: Maybelline Colour Elixir's

 Hey guys! Today I thought I'd do a mini review on the 'new' Maybelline colour elixir's. Now I say 'new' like that because there pretty new to the UK but even then they must have been out for a month or so now, I cant really remember. I've been testing and wearing these two shades, 105 Petal blush and 705 Blush essence, ever since I got them and I have to say I'm in love!

I picked the pinker colours of the bunch as I wear these the most and I think they suit my skin colour the most. These Colour elixir's are amazing though, very pigmented and glossy but are also like balms and feel very moisturising on the lips.  
 
105 Is a really nice light nude-ish pink. It has a slight simmer in it but you cant feel it on the lips. This one just adds a nice glossy to the lips with a little pigmentation, that just gives that 'your lips but better' kind of colour. I find It to look much better when blended and patted into the lips.
 
705 Blush essence is a really pretty pink. It reminds me a lot of Tanya Burrs lipgloss in Aurora apart from Tanyas has simmer running through it but the Maybelline has none. The pigmentation of this one is great and looks nice put on normally or blended a little.
 
They are a really nice glosses and are great for autumn and winter as they are very balm like and both colours are great for day to day wear.
 
Hope you enjoyed
