New from Maybelline comes the Made for All Lipstick by Color Sensational ($11 CAD for 4.2 g).

Packaging:
The Maybelline Made for All Lipstick by Color Sensational comes in a simple and sleek reflective silver plastic packaging. Each cap is colored to match the shades inside. I had some issues with a few of the lipsticks bullets as they were only loosely attached to the base. One actually snapped right off when I tried to twist it up and a few felt like they were breaking during application. It's not a huge letdown as each lipstick costs only $11 CAD but it's probably wise to not use too much pressure during application.

Formulation:
Available in seven universal shades, the Maybelline Made for All Lipstick By Color Sensational features a smooth and hydrating formulation. The pigmentation varies slightly between each shade but they were all buildable to a fully opaque finish. All except for "382 Red for Me" (a matte red) has a volumizing, natural sheen and there is minimal bleeding along the lip line. The formulation has a bit of that old-school, waxy smell but that's not uncommon for drugstore lipsticks. In terms of wear, the Made for All Lipsticks performed pretty well. The finish is not transfer-proof but because every color is so pigmented, they will last through light drinking and snacking. See below for a breakdown of each shade.

370 Spice for Me: This is a lovely light brown nude perfect for the fall time. The pigmentation is phenomenal.
373 Mauve for Me: A flattering warm rose nude, this shade is surprisingly pigmented and full-coverage.
376 Pink for Me: A cool tone dusty pink, Pink for Me is also surprisingly pigmented given how light the color is.
379 Fuchsia for Me: This is a bright hot pink. I noticed that the pigments of this shade travel a bit on the lips so a few layers are needed for a flawless coverage. Also, this shade stains quite a bit.
382 Red for Me (Matte): The only matte shade out of the bunch, this is a classic bright red. The formulation is just fabulous so if you've been looking for a budget-friendly matte red, this one is worth a go!
385 Ruby for Me: A blue-based ruby red, Ruby for Me has a super shiny finish. The pigmentation is decent but I would recommend pairing it with a red liner for a serious punch of color.
388 Plum for Me: This is a plummy berry pink. The formulation is slightly sheerer compared to the others but the finish is even and non-patchy.

Overall, this is an impressively well-formulated lipstick range. All seven shades are just gorgeous as there isn't one I wouldn't recommend! My only gripe is with the fragile, breakage-prone bullets but for $11 each, I can't complain too much! Have you spotted this collection in stores? Which shade is your favorite?
