MAYBELLINE LIMITED EDITION REBEL BLOOM COLLECTION

Hey guys! Today I'm bringing you the MAYBELLINE limited edition rebel bloom collection. This was an extension of the permanent line of Rebel Bloom lipsticks. These started popping up in select stores in late spring, and they were extremely hard to find. I only found them in maybe 3 stores and not every store had the entire collection. I was able to pick up 3 of the 4 lipsticks. The last lipstick I couldn't find was a bright tangerine color. I also was able to grab 2 of the 4 color tattoos. All of these were varying shades of purple/lavender. I do believe there were also 2 shades of matte cream blushes but I never got to see those in person.

First lets talk about the packaging. It is the typical square Color Sensational tube with a bright pinky/lilac cap. Absolutely adorable. My favorite they have come out with. All of the Rebel Bloom lipsticks just scream spring and summer! The number and name are displayed on the bottom with the color swatch so they can be easily distinguished in your drawer. They also have the typical "play dough" smell all MAYBELLINE lipsticks seem to have.

The first color up is 975 PLAYFUL PEONY. This color is a bright light carnation pink with a blue undertone. I would say it is almost the color of Pepto Bismal. It glides on smoothly with no 

patchiness. A few swipes and you have full opaqueness. It was very comfortable on the lips and 

lasted a long time. My favorite out of the three. 

The next color up is 970 CARNATION CABERNET.  I would describe this as a berry/plum color with a slight hint of fuschia. Although this color was smooth to apply, the color was extremely patchy and hard to get an even application. It didn't last as long as most colors in this range and because of the patchiness, it wore off extremely unevenly. You definitely need a lip liner with this one because it
tended to feather outside the lip line very easily.

The last color up is 965 BUBBLEGUM BLOOM. This was my least favorite of the three. It is a frosty baby pink color with silver-ish specks of glitter. The pigmentation is horrible on this color. It is extremely sheer even after you build up the color. It was hard to apply and you can feel the glitter specks on your lips. The more you try to build up the color, the more glittery it becomes. This is definitely a color you would need a lot of reapplication with. It may look nice as a topper to lighten up a darker lipstick, but not an on its own color. 

I purchased these lipsticks at Rite Aid for $7.19 each. You get .15 oz of product in each tube. 

The next thing I picked up was two of the 24hr Color Tattoos. I was only able to find two of these and I'm not sure what the other colors looked like. These retailed for $6.99 (I believe. Not 100% sure) and these were also purchased at Rite Aid. You get .14ounces in each pot.

 

The first color is 120 PETUNIA PUNK. This is a very light lilac/lavender color with a silver/pink shift. I wouldn't say it's a duo chrome, but more of a opalescence shift. This color is extremely sheer with very little color pay off. It is not buildable whatsoever. I found the more you add to build the color, the more of the product you actually remove. I have a pretty light complexion and I was very disappointed with the color payoff. The color is beautiful in the pot, it just doesn't translate to the skin. It does dry down to a budge proof finish that is extremely long lasting with minimal to no creasing. I would recommend using this as a base for a very light lid color. It may be the only way to get some color out of it.

The last thing I have is 125 HIBISCUS HEARTBREAK. This is a bright lavender color with a pink duo chrome. This color starts off sheer but is very buildable to get the desired intensity you are looking for. My favorite way to wear this is with MAC Vanilla pigment. It looks like a gorgeous mix of white, pink, and lavender. Excellent lid color. This one can be worn alone as well as an all over shadow. It dries down to a budge proof finish with minimal to no creasing on me (I have pretty oily lids). I was very impressed with this color and glad I found it to add to my ever growing collection
