Maybelline The Buffs Color Sensational Nude Lipsticks - Spring 2014 - Photos and Swatches

**All products mentioned were purchased by me. I'm not affiliated with any companies mentioned.**

Maybelline has recently launched a new range of nude lipsticks at the drugstore. When I heard about them, I was on the lookout and was fortunate to catch them right when they launched. I picked up six of the colors. I believe there are about 9 shades in total.

The colors I purchased are above and below from left to right: 920 Nude Lust, 930 Truffle Tease, 935 Sin a Mon, 940 Touchable Taupe, 945 Stormy Sahara, 950 Untainted Spice. There were two lighter colors and 1 darker color that I did not purchase.

I'm a huge fan of nude lipsticks. They are my go-to lip color and what I normally gravitate towards. I've been trying to traverse the line into more bold lips, but it's been hard to break my love and instinct to gravitate toward nudes. I think it's just because I've always been more into playing up my eyes which nude lips tend to work better with. Also, once I've done my makeup, I'm more of a low maintenance makeup wearer for the rest of the day. I don't want to have to keep touching up my lips. I drink a lot of tea during the day so with brighter lips I'd be constantly touching up. 

Anyways, on to the swatches:

These lipsticks are really nice. I own some of the Vivids that released last year as well as one or two shades from the regular Color Sensational range. These lipsticks have just as great pigmentation as the Vivids. They are also really comfortable to wear and I don't feel that they dry out my lips at all. They have a slightly fruity scent, but nothing overpowering in my opinion. The shades I picked up are all creams which I prefer. I don't believe any of the others were frosty or shimmery as far as I can remember. These have a really nice creamy finish on the lips to where I feel that topping with a gloss is optional.

One more note, I don't believe these are limited edition. I think they are going to be a part of Maybelline's permanent line up from what I've heard. So hopefully if you haven't been able to find them or have only found picked over displays, there is still hope that these will pop up as part of the normal Maybelline display. 

Have you spotted these at your drugstore? Let me know if you've picked any of these up or plan to.
