Maybelline came out with a new Color Sensational collection called the "VIVIDS". The colors are all daring, eye popping and strikingly bold! There are 10 shades in the entire line ranging in bright pinks, fuchsias, oranges and reds. Definitely will keep your heads turning. I decided to pick up a few to see what the rave was all about. On with the review...
#870 Shocking Coral - Pinky Coral, very bold and bright! (My fav)
#885 Vibrant Mandarin - Orange/Red, bold and fierce shade
Swatches (Top to Bottom) Vibrant Mandarin & Shocking Coral.
Comparison: The two shades and MAC Watch Me Simmer.
Watch Me Simmer looks like the combo of the two shades combined. Gorgeous!

★ OVERALL: Very impressed with this collection. This wouldn't be your everyday lipstick color but definitely something to wear on a night out. It's extremely pigmented and smooth on the lips. One swipe and it's fully covered. Only picked up two shades for now to review them but after trying it out, I am going to grab a few more shades! Only issue is to decide which colors to get...isn't that always the issue? Luckily these are in the permanent line and not limited edition. You have plenty of time to grab them! Nobody would believe you're wearing a drugstore lipstick. Hey MAC... you're not that special anymore! ha ha
