Review: Maybelline Vivid Hot Lacquer in Unreal

Hi everyone! I'm back with a lip lacquer review. Yes, they're still my jam. No, this doesn't tick all my boxes, but it comes pretty close. The Maybelline Vivid Hot Lip Lacquer retails for £6.99 in local beauty stores and is available in all sorts of shades from nudes to deep vamps. As I've been…
