Maybelline "Fifth Ave. Fuchsia" Lipstick Swatch + Review

I have done quite a few Maybelline product reviews, haven't I? But "Fifth Ave. Fuchsia" is a very bright, bold shade. It is so different than any of the other Maybelline lipsticks that I've swatched. I have so many complaints about Maybelline lipsticks. Here's a quick run through [skip if you've already heard this]: the product isn't protected from contamination in the store, it is impossible to distinguish finish unless you open up the lipsticks, and the pakaging is a bit ehh. 

But the good things? The pigmentation is great and they smell quite nice too. My sister and I picked out this particular shade because it reminded us of one of the lipsticks Selena Gomez wore in her Love You Like a Love Song video that came out AGES ago. We thought it would be super pretty. It is an exact dupe for a Revlon lipstick in the shade "Fuchsia". I would get the Maybelline lipstick--it is cheaper, I can see no descernable difference in the product when swatched although the Revlon packaging is a bit nicer. It is quite loud and I don't find myself reaching for this product very often. Pity because it is really pretty.
