Maybelline Colorsensational Lip Polish Glam 12 Review and Swatches
By Contributor: Agnirupa
Ooohh finally they have arrived!! I have waited so so long. These lines to normal people might refer to the arrival of Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp to their city. However in beauty blogs these lines can only signify the arrival of something crispy and new. And yes I am talking today about the new garma-garam Maybelline lip polish in Glam 12! I got three of them btw: Glam 13 and Glam 5 apart from this. Let’s start with the review and swatches.
Maybelline Claims: A TRIO of CONCENTRATES:

Specially designed Leaf-shaped applicator which makes application quick & precise.
Maybelline Lip Polish Glam 12 Review
Glam 12 is a luscious orangey red with tiny shimmer which are not OTT at all but instead boost the glossy pout. It instantly brightens up any look and infuses a rich flush of color on your puckers. The pigmentation unlike the other lighter colors is excellent and a single swipe gives the bold bright color seen in the tube.

The texture is a bit thick but absolutely non-sticky and very smooth and hydrating, applies easily and evenly on lips smoothing out fine lines and resulting in a glossy pout. Being such a pigmented color it lasts easily for 4 hours approx and fades leaving a nice reddish stain- the nicest thing being that it hydrates the lips even after wearing off. Fragrance and taste free.
The cute cute lip polishes come packaged in stout transparent tubes which gives the appearance of an inverted lipstick bullet and comes with a special spongy leaf-like applicator made specifically for easy lining of upper lips and seamless application of the color on the lower.

Do I recommend? Maybelline Lip Polish Glam 12 is an orange red shade with slight shimmer. Seeing that my SA told me a lady had been picking up 8 shades at once is testimony enough that these hardly need any more pushes from us beauty bloggers. Lovely texture, awesome shades, good pigmentation ensures a winner yet again from Maybelline. Pick them up!
