Hello loves!
It's a gloomy, rainy Wednesday today. Let me pair it off with a dark swatch post. ;)
Check out this one from Maybelline...
Maybelline Color Sensational The Loaded Bold Lipstick in Pitch Black
It's PhP 299.00
Pitch Black is what it's name says, it's a solid black color! This range has the classic bold red, nude, pink, and purple hues; but it also has other unique shades like a solid white one and even a blue one. You can mix them up together to create a new lippie color!
There are twenty shades available as seen on the website.
Here's the product description from the website:

I find darker shades make my skin look radiant so mixing this up with my other favorite bold, matte lipsticks would be a great idea. Maybe if I'm a bit braver, I can wear it alone! Haha!
Packaging looks a lot like the regular Color Sensational lipsticks, but the cap is in a different color—blue. The design is pretty simple. It's not my favorite look... but hey, I don't expect to get anything fancy when you buy something so affordable.
Here's the bullet.
Here's a swatch on hand...
...and here's how it looks like on my lips.
It has a creamy consistency that makes application easier and also helps blend the colors better if you plan on mixing it up. After a while, I notice it somehow becomes a bit more matte, which is a quality I really like because I tend to mix it with my mattes.
And that's all for this post. I have another lipstick from this range that I completely fell in-love with. I hope you stay tuned for that!
Cheers,
DAWN
