The first shade I purchased was the signature scarlet shade, 020. This is a bright, "scarlet" color and it is beautiful on the lips. The glossy finish and perfect texture makes your lips look flawless.
This is my lips bare, for comparison. |

The next shade i purchased was Mandarine Rapture in the shade 015. This color was defiantly out of my comfort zone, but still close to home. It is a beautiful orange, and honestly the first orange lip product I have ever owned. I tend to stay to pinks, nudes, and some reds. So I was surprised to find that i really love it, I am even wearing it now!
This shade I find to be very versatile because you can really control how bright the color is. A think layer will give you a very pretty sheer coral lip and a thicker layer will be a brighter bolder orange. I love this because depending on the day I want my lips to either be soft and natural or bold and out going!

Last but not least, my personal favorite shade, caviar couture, in 050. Now this shade is EXTREMELY out of my comfort zone, and at first I was absolutely terrified of it. The mortal terror aside, I purchased it and then tried it on. Instant love. I was shocked and over joyed, and it just goes to show that stepping out side of your comfort zone can lead you to amazing places!!

This beautiful deep purple shade will be my new statement makeup item for a long time to come!
Maybelline's color elixir is extraordinary! I am so glad I tried this product, and I will probably soon have all 20 shades! I hope you enjoyed this review, leave a comment of what shade you liked the best that I reviewed or suggest shades from the line that you own, and think I would love!
