Maybelline New York Color Sensational Red Lipstick Powder Matte Lipstick, Cruel Ruby, 0.15 Ounce, Pack of 1

My favorite lip color is Tarte's Texas Toast, a limited edition color designed by an Internet star. Being limited edition, one can't get it in stores anymore, and the website limits you to only buying one at a time. It's my perfect "your lips but better" color, so I've managed to hoard three, and hopefully they'll have more free shipping days so I can get another while it exists-but soon, it will be no more. Everything I love gets discontinued. So, I'm looking for a dupe, preparing for the fateful day my fav lippie is gone. The makeup gurus pointed me towards Matbelline's Gone Griege and I even saw a video where it was supposed to be exact. Well, they are wrong, it's not even close to a dupe, it's much darker. But not only do I like it as much as Texas Toast, i like it more. It's prettier, more glamorous and interesting. Tarte's product makes my lips look like I'm barely wearing anything, just more defined and smooth, and Gone Greige is a much darker, more noticeable color. It's a perfect greige that I think would work with many skin tones. It's lot better than the browns that were the trend a while back but still gives that dark natural lip effect. Like all Maybelline, it's moisturizing, and very comfortable to wear. It is not a long-lasting lipstick but good enough. What I've been doing is using the Texas Toast for running around, and putting the Gone Greige over it for a sexier lip later and reapplying as needed. But I often wear the Maybelline alone and I get several hours without fading and no streaking. This is a beautiful color and if you haven't tried a griege before and like neutral color lips, give this a go. Of course, I'm going to have to start stocking up on Gone Greige, because now that I fell in love with it, it's sure to be discontinued. If like me, you try it and love it, get a couple extra tubes, because without a doubt, I'm the black thumb of makeup products.

I love the product, been using this brand and color for years. Glad it was still available.

I wasn't sure what to expect with Gone Greige - I usually stick to my reds and plums, I don't normally do bold, non-conventional colours and I don't do well with nudes as well. However, Gone Greige was an unexpected surprise. It is a mix of Grey and Beige (which I am guessing where the name comes from), which complements my cool skin tone. It does not make me look washed out (or dead) like nudes do. It completely changes my everyday make up look to a bold, trendy and edgy look. And it kind of makes me look somewhat cold and unapproachable, but hey, that's the trend right now right? The wear time is pretty good for me. It does fade slightly after I eat and is not as bold, but the overall colour still remains and still looks good even if I don't reapply. The texture is also non-drying and goes on pretty creamy. The only downside for me is the scent, I can't figure out what it smells like exactly. I usually hate any sort of scents in my lip products. This one is pretty strong smelling in the packaging but thankfully, it is faint enough when applied. All in all, this isn't your everyday make up item. But if you're looking to get into the latest make up trend, this is worth a shot. For $5 a pop, you really can't go wrong with this one.

good color

Gran gama de colores. Hermosos. Cómodos. No resecan

Always a good purchase. Color is lovely.

I got three colors, black, "berry" (purple), and blue. I am pleased with all of them. But this is very old-fashioned stuff you have to keep in your bag/purse to re-apply if you're wearing it to work or on a trip, because you have about 3-4 hours before the color fades. In that sense it doesn't compete with modern liquid colors that can survive two meals and a makeout session. But I primarily choose my make-up for color and artistry, and these have been solid friends. I just have to take another star way knowing you can find comparable product in the local thrift store's bargain bin.

Great lipstick I was trying to find a “dupe” to my MAC lipsticks and these did the trick. Great product!
