Maybelline Color Sensational Rebel Bloom Lipstick in 705 Blushing Bud

Oh boy, I haven't tried a Maybelline lipstick since the 2013 Vivids Collection. Every season I see collection after collection launch, always seeing colours that I'm really into (but I remind myself I already own 60+ lipsticks) and I wonder if the formula is still the same. I received the Maybelline Color Sensational Rebel Bloom Lipstick in 705 Blushing Bud ($7.49) at World MasterCard Fashion Week and was super excited to try it...

...and my thoughts on the lipstick formula are still the same. Creamy with a slight sheen, very pigmented, slightly drying and wears up to 4 hours. 

The base colour of Blushing Bud bears a very similar tone to that of the Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Intense in #54 Pearly Golden Pink, but Maybelline has (thankfully) skipped out on the shimmer. While the cream formula is nice, I don't think this shade of pink suits me but I'd be so down to try out any of the brighter colours (Rose Rush or Orchid Ecstasy). 

Do you like Maybelline lipsticks?
