Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Gloss Bulk Review

Normally, I like to review different shades in the same product range individually (hence the N different posts on Revlon Colorburst Lipstick or Super Lustrous Lip Gloss) as it makes categorizing based on color/fetching an older post easier. Today, I will give you a group review instead because

1) A single tube of this Maybelline gloss doesn't look good in picture
2) Unfinished (some are ancient) posts are clogging my dashboard. 
3) I am not sure if they are still available for purchase.

I got all four Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Gloss from clearance baskets and it's quite interesting how different the two cashier reacted to my "extreme couponing": The college-age CVS guy, who by the way is Chinese, just looked amazed at how little I paid (Ok,I had a few coupons so I didn't need to pay) for the junk (a few glosses, some nail polish, blush, nail buffer and a bag of pads) I hauled.

On the other hand, the Walgreen lady, who looks a decade older than my mom, started to look at me,like a disapproving in-law (with utmost internal disgust) the moment she found out about the prices ($1.8) of the gloss/as she was scanning the dollar-off coupons. Hello? It's you guys(store employees) who put those clearance stickers on them and said I can use coupons on them!

Back to Maybelline gloss, the two shades on the left were released alongside Color Sensational high shine display and they both have the new citrus scent found in the high shine lipsticks. The two on the right looks like they could be from the Sweet Thing collection and have the same fruity scent like the rest of Color Sensational glosses. All four shades have the same slightly-thick jelly texture that are non-sticky and comfortable to wear, the pigmentation varies by shade.

Red Patent is a sheer raspberry pink/red jelly with shimmer - The red pigment shows well...only on my lip lines. I had high hope for this shade but it turned out mediocre.

High Tech Plum is a semi-opaque berry with a jelly finish - I am pretty happy with how it turns out, as it offers enough colors without being garish.

Coral Gleam is a creamy peach with a ton of (very fine)soft gold shimmer - I think the pigmentation is alright. The problem is that shades like this tend to make me look sick.

Sweet Tooth is a semi sheer milky pink with silver shimmer - due to the small shimmer content, the gloss looks smoother and more watery on the lips. Overall, I like how Maybelline do micro-glitter/shimmer on these since none of them appears frosty or feel gritty on the lips.I just don't like these pale shades by themselves.

Overall: Out of the four shades, High Tech Plum is the stand-out piece (only shade worth getting, at least IMO) when it comes to uniquness and pigmentation.If you really want the promised super high pigmentation, be sure to go for something that looks really deep/bold in the tube.
