Maybelline’s Color Sensational Lipstick in Plum Paradise

This is one of my least favorite of the Color Sensational lip colors that I’ve tried. The color is very sheer - it’s more like a balm than a lip stick. I don’t know if that was intentional or if the formula of the stick I got was just bad. It acts more like the Cover Girl lipsticks that I’ve tried: slippery consistency, sheer or semi-sheer coverage.
