Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Totally Toffee - Review, Photos & Swatches

Totally Toffee is a creamy, light brown that almost falls into the nude lipstick category. It looks so pretty in the tube, like an everyday lipstick anyone can wear just about anywhere. Since I have pigmented lips, it works really well to even my lips with a nice wash of color. I like to wear this when I have quite a bit of eye makeup going on and want to keep my lips subtle.

Totally Toffee does not have any pink undertones as far as I can see. It is a pale brown lipstick and has a tendency to wash me out when worn alone. But, when paired with the right colors, it looks very beautiful and totally natural. I also think it works best on medium skin tones. If you are anything above an NC40 in MAC, it may look a little ashy.
Overall, Totally Toffee is a basic, brown lipstick that is really nice to have. I also think the color sensationals have a nice formula and last a good 3 hours on me. My only gripe is the fact that they come without a seal and it's so hard to find a piece that hasn't been swatched or already opened at the drugstore.

  5. I loved the colour, but I don't want to buy anymore browns. Not that I have any proper browns, but a lot of my lipsticks are brown-based, and I want something different now :D

  11. @Tracy - Very gross, I know! Revlon seals most of the lipsticks, yet people open it somehow :/
