My lipstick collection is broadly divided into mauvish brown shades, which are close to my lip colour and nudes. While I still haven’t found the perfect nude lipstick for my skin tone, I just added one awesome colour from the Maybelline Color Show Creamy Matte lipstick Mysterious Mocha.
The product claims to “Show off your colorful side with the Color Show Lipsticks now in 12 Matte shades. From the loved Color Show Lipsticks, Maybelline New York is now launching 12 new lipstick shades now in Matte! With stunning hues of red, pink, brown and mauve, these 12 matte, moisture rich shades allow you to express yourself everyday. The ultra-care and super hydrating formula is light and gives you high coverage while caring for your lips. The heat resistant soft waxes in the product ensure texture integrity even at high temperatures. These matte shades have the right amount of moisture, a sweet fragrance and stay true without drying up your lips.”
My Experience with Maybelline Color Show Creamy Matte Lipstick Mysterious Mocha
The new range of Maybelline lipsticks are a must try. These creamy matte lipsticks stay put for a decent 3-4 hours without drying out lips much, as is the case with most matte lipsticks. Still, it makes sense to ensure your lips are well hydrated to avoid the lipstick from clinging to any dry part. Maybelline Color Show Creamy Matte Lipsticks come in gorgeous 12 shades from bright pinks to subtle nudes. Being a person who loves nude shades I picked up a gorgeous nude shade – Mysterious Mocha.
The lipstick comes in a sturdy black plastic casing. I quite like that the pack and not the external peel off cover has the manufactured date. The shade Mysterious Mocha is a beautiful nude. Pair it with kohled eyes or a gorgeous smoky eye, this shade is a must try. This Maybelline lipstick is also deeply pigmented and all you need is a few swipes for full coverage. The con I see which is more so for this particular shade is that, it has a slightly chalky texture and it may not feel as comfortable to wear. Apart from this and wishing that the staying power were more, I love the Maybelline Color Show Creamy Matte lipsticks and I am looking forward to add more to my collection. Have you tried these gorgeous lipsticks yet?
The Good
- Easily available & affordable
- Nice matte shade which isn’t drying
- Wide range of colours
- Does not bleed
- High pigmentation – 2 swipes is all you need for a deep colour.
The Bad
- This shade has a chalky texture
- Can highlight dry lips
- Staying power could have been more
Overall verdict: 3.5 / 5
Price: Rs. 325/-

Such a beautiful nude shade but I have pigmented lips so I do not think I can carry it off.. 🙂

It is quite deeply pigmented. So it shouldn’t be a problem.
I told you na, These are so patchy. but they have nice shades to offer.

I remember trying a few other shades but they didn’t feel like this. But at least it isn’t drying.
The shade is oh so awesome Sangeeta. It is great that it doesn’t dry up the lips. I am not fond of matte but, my fav is REB range. 🙂
Sonali recently posted…Three moisturizing lotions which never failed for me
Yeah Sonali, but dabbing a little lip balm helps. I haven’t tried the REB range. What is your favourite shade from the REB range?
REB07 I love pinks!!!
Nice. Will check it out on my next shopping trip.
shade is awesome sangeeta 🙂
Thanks Shwetali. Have you tried Maybelline’s creamy matte lipsticks?
Ooooh, I really want to try this range!
Carol in a Page recently posted…An Unusual Fall Look Feat. Pantone’s Desert Sage and Stormy Weather
It is a gorgeous nude shade Carol. Matte and isn’t drying either.
Looks like a hit or miss kind of shade. But I do like the creamy finish.
With nudes it is always difficult to say. Some shades work well for some and some don’t. Got to try it to know.
I am an NC 43.5 in MAC and works fairly well on my skin tone.
I’ve heard a lot about the chalky texture, feeling skeptical, should I give these a try but colors are so pretty.. Nice honest review sweets!
Aashima recently posted…L’Oreal Professionnel Mythic Oil Shampoo Review and Price
Give it a try Aashima. They have nice colour range and priced decently too.
the color looks nice but i have really dry lips so this might not be so great for me.

A moisturiser does help. Otherwise it can cling on to the dry bits.
the shade is so pretty…..:)

You have to give it a try Lana. They have a nice colour range.
Lovely nude shade!!! I’ve not tried anything from color show range, not even nailpaints. 🙁 It’s hard to find Maybelline in my city, gonna order some of their products online.
Try buying it online then. The range has some lovely shades.
Gorgeous on you but not my kinda shade! I too have noticed that some of these lippies get applied quite unevenly,while trying them out in the counter! Great review as always 🙂 <3
Anurima_HMW recently posted…Monthly Beauty Favorites: September 2015
I tried 2-3 other shades but those were better. Maybe this is an issue with the lighter shades.
I like the range for its price. Super affordable. But i agree, they do fade away after 2-3 hrs.
But in this price bracket I am not complaining much.
Like the shade but wish it was not drying or emphasized lip lines
[email protected] recently posted…Bath & Body Works Love & Sunshine Shea & Vitamin E Body Lotion Review
It is quite good compared to other matte lipsticks in the market. And for this price bracket, it is quite amazing.
Oh wow….that’s a beautiful nude shade..I want Firecracker red from this collection… After your post I want mysterious mocha too..😊
Thanks Nithya. You should give it a try 🙂
Aww that sucks. You can try it with a good lip balm base.
The shade looks pretty
I need to try it soon

It sure is Swati. Have you tried this range?
So adorable this nude color looks! I’d love to try something in pink as this particular shade wont go well with my skin tone i suppose.
They have some really pretty pink. The peach shade in the range is also quite nice.
I’m quite intrigued by these new Maybelline lipsticks as they are affordably priced. Too bad that it doesn’t last much long and enhances fine lines. Great review:)

It’s still worth a try. The shades are amazing and the lipstick is affordable.
Great review. I have fair complexion and I tried it on my lips during my last visit to lifestyle thinking it would be a good nude shade, which sadly it didn’t came out to be. I picked Lively Violet thus. 🙂
[email protected] recently posted…My Envy Box September 2015 Review
I guess the shade works better on dusky skin tones. I want to buy more shades from this collection.
Love the colour, wish it is not chakey.

It is. I’ve been using this shade a lot since I purchased it. Liking it quite a bit. Just wish the texture was better.
nice color but chalky texture sounds weird..though i want to buy few shades from this range..
anubhuti recently posted…My Envy Box September 2015 Unboxing Video
I quite don’t mind the texture. I love the shade.
Looks lovely on you 🙂 I am not very impressed with the texture of this range. The one I got was a bit chalky and looked weird on me.
Harman recently posted…Meet the cutest lipstick I own – Sasatinne in Tender Coral
Thanks Harman. I thought the texture was an issue with a few colours. Which shade did you get?
It was A Pop of pink. Just didnt go so well with my lips haha. Emphasized the dryness a lot. I even reviewed it on my blog.

Thanks Jayshree. Apart from the weird texture I love this shade.
My fav shade from this range is Madly Magenta! It’s what I reach out for these days when I cant make up my mind on a particular lipstick shade…it’s found a place in my top makeup drawer 😉

This seems a problem with this particular shade. The other shades are a bit creamy.
Such a petty nude shade..
Fatima Nayani recently posted…Get Valentine Ready with Blue Heaven
The finish can feel a little weird. But the shade is absolutely amazing.
Looks like a coffee shade of lip color. Omg! I wanna try this. Such a good review 🙂
Thanks Shalini. Do check it out and the best part is that the price is quite affordable.
