The temperature is climbing in Texas, so it’s already summer in my mind! That means it’s time to break out my shorts, sandals, and bright lip colors (…and you may want to break out your sunglasses because my legs are blindingly pasty)! This lipstick is the perfect summer color, and it’s cheap enough that you’ll have enough money left over for a snow cone. 🙂

Maybelline Color Sensational lipsticks have a huge range of color options, and my latest purchase is Vibrant Mandarin. This shade is from the Vivids collection, just like Vivid Rose, which I previously reviewed. Vibrant Mandarin, definitely lives up to its name.

It’s a bright coral-orange shade, but definitely not a true orange…er…mandarin. 😉 Vibrant Mandarin is very pigmented, and it has great color payoff. The formula is moisturizing and relatively long-wearing.

This lipstick would be perfect to pair with a simple everyday makeup look this summer. A little bronzer, a swipe of mascara, a coat of Vibrant Mandarin, and you’re ready to go!

Let me know if you’ve tried any Maybelline Color Sensational shades and have a recommendation for me!

And Happy (almost!) summmmmerrrr!!!
