New products from Maybelline and Sinful Colors (pics!)

(NOTE: I figured out how to super-size my images so if you click on any of these pics, they will be HUGE for your viewing pleasure! Yay!)

Oh yes, there's nothing like a 4-ft tall end cap corner display full of new lip products to make a girl smile on a Friday afternoon! If you haven't seen these new Maybelline Color Sensational lipsticks, glosses and liners yet, you are in for a real treat. They are definitely a feast for the eyes and come in a huge array of colors to satisfy your particular color-obsession-of-the-moment (mine is warm pinks and corals).

Now, what sets this collection apart from other lip color collections is that Color Sensational products contain pure pigments for a "crisper" color and they also contain honey nectar for a creamier feel. As I like to say a lot lately: "Maybelline, you had me at hello."

I tried to get close-up shots of just how many colors are available (a lot!)--the pics aren't great but you get the idea.

The pinks and naturals:

The plums and reds:

Now what I love about the packaging of these lipsticks is that the case changes with each group of shades. For instance, the reds have a clear red case, the pinks have a clear magenta case, the plums have a clear purple case and the naturals have a clear amber case. So pretty! Here's a pic of the red case from the Maybelline website:

Now the lipglosses and liners don't come in as large of an assortment as the lipsticks but that's A-OK with me because I'm not a big liner person and, well, you know how I stand on lipgloss, right? I love the look, but it just doesn't last long on my lips because I'm a gloss-eater. Bah!

Here are the lipglosses (in this display there are two of each shade):

As you can see, Walgreens currently has a BOGO 50% off on Maybelline so I purchased one lipstick and one gloss, which I will review tomorrow (hint: I FREAKING LOVE THEM BOTH!).

Next up, I spotted the new 24hr Wear SuperStay Foundation and Concealer display.

Bottles of 24hr Wear liquid foundation on top row, bottom row (left side) the 24hr Wear (wand) concealer:

Now, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that these 24hr Wear SuperStay products are competing with my beloved Revlon ColorStay liquid foundation and ColorStay wand concealer. The color assortment is pretty darn good but I'm not ready to take the plunge and betray my ColorStay just yet. Have you tried either one of these? If so, I would love to know your thoughts. At $10.99 (foundation) and $8.49 (concealer) they are definitely in the same price range as ColorStay, so I know it's only a matter of time before I give these a whirl. I mean, really, how can I not? I'll just wait patiently for a BOGO-free sale. :)

Lastly, let me finish this post with something fun: A new neon collection from Sinful Colors! Surprise, surprise, my camera doesn't capture how truly neon these colors are, but the display is cute so I'm throwing in these pics anyway.

Please stay tuned for my Color Sensational lipstick and lipgloss review tomorrow. Until then, have you tried any of these new products? If not, do you plan to purchase anything?
