The line has 10 different colors with quite a wide variety of colors, ranging from light pink to bright berry. They can be found at most drugstores, but prices may vary depending on where you get them. The price ranges from $5-10, but sales and coupons can lower the price. Each lipstick contains 4.2 grams or 0.15 ounces.
Pink Pop (860) is a cool-toned pale pink with a slight frosted finish. This one is one of the more poorer performing lipsticks of the bunch, and personally, my least favorite. It didn't go on as evenly as I would like it to, and the consistency feels slightly waxy and uncomfortable on the lips, but the formula is creamy. It gives semi-opaque coverage.
Fuchsia Flash (865) is a neon cool toned pink. The consistency is smooth and it applies evenly. Its finish looks almost gel-like with a glossy sheen, and it's very opaque.
Shocking Coral (870) is a warm pinky coral, emphasis on the pink. The color reminds me of a more saturated watermelon Jolly Rancher. The quality of this one is one of the best. It's smooth on the lips, pigmented, and lightweight. There's a sheen in the finish, and a slight stain is left behind.
Vivid Rose (875) is a bright medium red-rose. This is, in my opinion, the most universally flattering color in the line. The quality is similar to Shocking Coral: smooth, pigmented, and lightweight. It's glossy and leaves a stain behind.
Electric Orange (880) is a vibrant, warm medium orange. The finish is glossy with semi-opaqueness. It's light on the lips and is smooth and creamy to apply.
Vibrant Mandarin (885) is a medium to dark orange with a hint of coral to it. The application is smooth and easy, and the color is opaque. It feels comfortable and lightweight on the lips, and has a glossy finish. It's similar to Shocking Coral except it has more orange and coral in it.
Neon Red (890) is a vivid orange red being more orange than red (the dominant orange color is more evident in the side by side swatches). It's very creamy and pigmented and very easy to apply. It feels a little heavier on the lips than most of the others and a stain is left behind but those are the only differences in formula.
On Fire Red (895) is a true, bold fire truck red. This one is ever so slightly sheer but very buildable, so opaque color is very achievable. The finish is very glossy and lightweight. A stain is left behind.
Brazen Berry (905) is a cool toned berry magenta. This is the sheerest of them all and the consistency has a lot of slip and smoothness to it. It is lightweight and leaves a tiny bit of stain behind.
The description Maybelline gives their lipsticks is a little bit ambiguous. The only thing they claim is a creamier and more nourishing feel, and they don't claim anything relating to wear time.

Overall, I think the quality of this line is fantastic, especially for the drugstore price. My least favorite shades were Pink Pop and Brazen Berry, and my favorites were Vivid Rose, Shocking Coral, and Neon Red. All of them were slightly moisturizing but not significantly so, and they lasted 3-4 hours on me. Certain colors like Pink Pop, Fuchsia Flash, and Brazen Berry made my teeth look a little yellow, and other colors made them look whiter like Vivid Rose, Neon Red, and On Fire Red. Most were very comfortable to wear due to the formula having a slip to it.
