About 2 months ago, I purchased two Maybelline Color Sensational lipsticks in Pink Please and Born with It from my local supermarket/drugstore. I have medium-colored skin with olive and yellow undertones (I am of Asian decent). My lips are very pigmented (pinkish-red).
After hearing so many raves about the Pink Please color, I was disappointed to find that this lipstick was too light for me. This shade seemed like an pale, opaque whitish-pink on my lips and did not compliment my skin tone. However, Born with It was a very pretty baby-pink shade that did not washout my face.
Both lipsticks had the similar formulas with decent coverage and the same [bearable] floral/plastic-y scent. However, Born with It seems to be slightly more sheer than Pink Please. These lipsticks were moisturizing and did not dry out with wear like other lipsticks. Because of the built-in shine, I found that a lip gloss on top is optional/not completely required. However, these are not long-wearing lipsticks- even with a liner base, they do rub off within a couple hours.
I will not be re-purchasing Pink Please but will re-purchase Born with It. This latter shade is a good everyday lipstick that will go well with a lot of my make-up looks. I believe this lipstick will generally sell for $5-8. With that being said, these lipsticks are worth a try.
