Maybelline’s Color Sensational Lipstick in Berry Bossy (820)

As soon as I tried this on, I knew that I had to have several back-ups! This color might be a bit too bright for some, and just flat-out too purple for many others, but for me it’s a great shade. It does stain my lips a little bit, so that enhances its longevity. This is cooler than Fiery Fuchsia and Rebel Pink, also Loaded Bolds lip shades. It applies with the same ease that the other Loaded Bolds do, and its formula is a little…creamier, I’d guess is the right word. It feels more hydrating on my lips than Smoking Red (which I also love).
