If you’ve spent any time scrolling the beauty algorithms on your social media feeds as of late, chances are you’ve heard of Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk. It’s the shade that practically screams “my lips but better,” delivering a universally flattering, nude pink dream. But here’s the thing about cult favorites like this luxury lippy — it comes with a bit of a luxury price tag.
Luckily, there’s a more affordable contender shaking up the nude-pink game, and its fans can’t comparing it to the high-end favorite. Say hello to Maybelline’s Color Sensational Lipstick in the hue Warm Me Up, a drugstore staple quickly gaining its own cult following. One loyal fan confessed, “I use this as a go-to lipstick vs the high-end lipstick shade Pillow Talk. The matte is gorgeous, it goes on smooth, and most times I don’t even use a mirror!” High praise considering the price difference, right?
And fans love how easy the lipstick’s creamy formula makes applying the lip color. As one reviewer put it, “It is a hydrating, cream texture that applies easily and is a very flattering natural color on my medium fair skin tones.” Plus, it’s non-sticky and comfy enough for all-day wear.
Cololor-wise, Warm Me Up nails that “just right” vibe — not too pink, not too beige, just perfectly neutral. One fan gushed, “The colors of these lippys are great and very spot on! Try this color though if you are light-ish to medium skin tone. I wear Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk as well because, like the Maybelline color Warm Me Up, it is the perfect lip-matching shade and anyone can wear it!!!” Talk about a crowd-pleaser!
Despite its creamy texture, this nude pink lipstick stays put. As one fan put it, “It also wears well. It is not sticky, but it lasts long and feels comfortable.” The cherry on top? You can layer it with gloss for extra shine or wear it solo for a chic, more matte vibe.
Bottom line? If Pillow Talk has been on your wishlist, Maybelline’s Color Sensational Lipstick in Warm Me Up might just be the tube for you. And at just $5 a pop, why not give Warm Me Up and another one of the nearly 50+ shades a shot?
