Not too long ago, I finally went to my local Bed Bath & Beyond to check out their beauty selection. I am always reading that makeup collections often show up there first before drugstores. I found some new collections but most items were cleaned out. I did manage to pick up a limited edition item – Maybelline ColorSensational Lipstick in Refined Red. It is from the Gilded Gold Collection. This was the only item left in the display so I bought it.
I was hopeful that Refined Red could become a new favorite red but I actually HATE how this shade looks on me. 
It looks like such a beautiful red in the tube but shows up looking too orange. Bleh! The pigmentation is quite fabulous but the feel is not very moisturizing. I don’t mind that from other Maybelline lipsticks in shades that I love but this one just won’t do. I am still on the look-out for the rest of the Gilded Gold Collection!
What do you think of Refined Red, yay or nay?
Tina, I like that shade of red on you. Frankly, you could probably wear any shade of red. And I love the look of the packaging on that lippie. I never knew that BB&B had a beauty department! I can’t believe I’ve been wasting those 20% off coupons every month when I could have been buying makeup at a discount. Thanks for the tip!

Awww thanks you are too sweet!
I’m not a fan of this lipstick line. I do have one that is called Party Pink and it’s a sweet, bright pink color and I love it, but I don’t like the scent of these lipsticks. It goes away, but upon application I’m like ugh .. I’m not buying anymore of these. Did you notice a scent?

Hmmmm I did not notice a scent and usually I am also a stickler for that. Although I admit I haven’t worn this more than twice because the color looks so bad on me.
Great red for your skin tone!

Really?? I think it looks awful :(.
I agree with you the orange in it does not work for your coloring.
