I have a massive crush on anything that’s coral so I decided
that Coral Fever and Apricot Punch are perfect products to satisfy my coral
needs. Plus, they both smell fabulous!

Maybelline in
Coral Fever is a coral shade lipstick with satin finish and creamy texture.
It’s definitely not sheer but it isn’t as much pigmented as I expected, which I
actually like (I’m normally a fan of bright lipsticks). It’s not totally to
your face but it’s not too shy so if you want to experiment with some bold
colours this spring but you are not a fan of really bright colours I think this
shade would be ideal. It glides on very smoothly and it's comfortable to wear.
The lasting power is about 3 – 4 hours so something between a lip balm and a
high-end lipstick. Despite the creamy texture I found the formula to be
slightly drying. But maybe it's just me. The smell is sugary – it’s nice - not
too strong. The packaging is solid and I like the idea of red-tinted clear top.
To some it might look cheap and plastic-y but I think it looks fashionable.
Overall, a nice
shade to have in you makeup bag!

Finish Fruities in Apricot Punch is just ideal shade of coral: not to orange-y,
not too yellow-y – just perfect peachy coral.
I love it that is smells of
apricots once it’s dry. It’s a nice, delicate smell that you can’t detect
unless you put your nails near your nose. And, surprisingly the scent last
quite a time: about 12-14 hours but I still could just smell it the next day
after more than 24 hours! Nice! Only one coat is needed to get opaque finish.
It last for about 3 days before it needs re-applying. It’s a good value for
money and I would definitely re-purchase in the future. A.
