Brilliant

I love this lipstick. I trialed the colour Escapist. It is a deep, dark, rich purple. I love that the bottle is similar in colour to the lipstick. It was a little darker than I thought it would be but I love it.It smells kind of like caramel. You do need to be a little careful when taking the applicator out, as the lip colour sort of dangles off the end if you don't wipe it on the bottle. The applicator tip is almost almond shape. This makes for easier application. It is quite sticky,but goes on smoothly. This is a super stay lip colour. It lasted through coffees, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and general day activity. I was surprised that it lasted like it did. I had very minimal transfer onto coffee cups, glasses. It looked almost as good when I took it off as it did when I first put it on. I would absolutely pay full price for this lipstick. It does what it says it will and looks gorgeous on too.

Tips: Allow to dry for a couple of minutes once applied as it's a bit sticky. A little extra scrubbing needed to remove, micellar water did work quite well.

Gorgeous lips

Ok so I hav to say the maybelline lip ink is absolutely gorgeous, however this took a few tries to get applied so it looked right. The 1st time i applied this i wasn't quite fast enough and it dried unevenly, so I thought I'd dip the applicator again to finish an this was absolutely the wrong wrong wrong thing to do people. It all went so wrong and felt gluggy, an just looked so patchy so I thought I'd remove it to try it again. This was a huge mission as it states it's a 24 hour long lasting lip ink, ink does NOT remove very easily at all. By the time I had scrubbed my poor lips, they were still partly purple with the ink. So out came the face scrub an make up remover, after a good clean off an a few more tries BAM these lips be Looking hot hot hot. I would absolutely recommend this to my friends that like myself are lippy mad, an would give them the advice of applying fast so they get a good even coverage. This product smelt very good as I applied it, I said it smelt yum an my son told me he needed to smell my lips when he did he said mmm that's delicious mummy. I love the long lasting wear, and the colour.

Mad For Matte!

I love a good matte lip colour, and am always on the search for a good one that will last, and most importantly not dry out my lips. This Maybelline Superstay Matte ink is pretty great!

The colour is incredibly easy to apply with the wand head, just be extra careful not to get it anywhere you don't want as unlike regular lipstick, it isn't as easy to just clean up with a tissue.

The lip ink stays true to its name as it really does stay on forever! In fact, it stays on so well that it makes it hard to clean up any messy spots you might have left over from colouring your lips, I couldn't even easily get it off with micellar water! Although this is definitely a bit annoying when it comes to removal, it's worth it as the colour won't budge when eating and drinking.

I have experienced that lots of matte lip colours leave your lips feeling dry and slightly chalky after use. I was so happy to find that this is not the case with this product. However, although it isn't massively drying, I definitely wouldn't say my lips felt hydrated after use and would definitely follow it with a good lip balm once you take it off, especially if you're using it frequently.

I must say that as someone who loves matte shades, I really enjoyed this product and will definitely consider getting it in more colours as it is such an exciting range!

Tips: Be extra careful when applying because any mistakes will be hard to wash off!

Sticky situation

I LOVED the colour and look of this lipstick. I got the 'Lover' shade which worked we with my pale complexion. It was so easy to apply and I felt like I didn't have to go out to purchase a lip liner to wear it. It's only downfall was it's texture. Two hours into my initial application it was still sticky! That definitely would not stop me from wearing this product again. The positives well out weighed the negatives. I can't wait to purchase more shades of the Maybelline Superstay Lip Ink.

Tips: Don't apply too thick or it'll take fooooorrreeevvveeerr to dry! Also an oil cleanser works best trying to remove this stubborn lip ink - it's not lying when it says Superstay!

Matte Lip Love

I was super excited to try this product as I've tried many a matte lip product through the years.

The shade I got was called Voyager and happens to be the darkest in the range. Luckily, because it's summer, I can wear the dark range with my medium deep skin tone.

I love this. I have just tried a similar shade in the Nars line and found it to be patchy and difficult to apply. This was super easy and not patchy at all which is amazing for a dark colour.

The wand was a lovely shape and worked well in application to the lips. I didn't even need to use a liner!

I'm really interested in trying other colours now. Perhaps a nude!!

Tips: Try and hombre lip by putting a lighter colour in the middle of your lips and patting down.

Lovely matte colour

I was very fortunate to be able to review this lovely product. I love matte lipstick but have always preferred a lipstick to a lipstain or any product that is applied with a brush or sponge. This product has changed my views on this. It is a highly pigmented lip ink that has a silky consistency. It applies beautifully and the colour is really strong. I like the sponge applicator - it makes it easy to apply the product. The lip ink is mildly fragranced. It doesn't taste like much - definitely not off putting. It goes on matte and stays that way. I did find it a little drying on my lips - something that can be a problem with matte lip colours. It works well if I apply a little lip balm over it, just to keep the lips moist. The packaging looks sleek. It is a nice size and the colour on the outside is a very good representation of the actual colour of the lip ink. Love this - will buy again and recommend to friends.

Tips: Use a little lip balm over the product if you find it too drying on the lips.

Amazing

I love this product, not only for the pigment and just the colour in general but it's also matte without being over matted (maybe not the best way to describe it really) should say over dry. Will have to look into getting more colours. Just in love with this product.

Fabulous bold lips

Thank you for the opportunity to try Maybelline's Superstay Matte Lip Ink. In the past I've always worn a lip gloss or stain, and had never tried a matte before. "Pioneer" is a fabulous colour. I loved the bold look, but struggled with the application. I found it hard to get the right edge/shape, and it was hard to correct my mistakes. On my 1st attempt I didn't use a lip liner, and ended up with feathering/bleeding at the edges. uch better day 2, so maybe I just need more practise. The texture felt rather tacky, but that's probably because I'm use to a gloss. I loved the colour. It lasted well (great when you're out as you don't have to keep reapplying), but unfortunately it did transfer easily (cups, glasses, water bottle...) I will continue to use it, as I love the look.

Maybelline Superstay Matte Lip Ink

So excited to trial this! Im desperate to find a good long wearing lippy that doesn't come off the minute I have my first latte.

This lip ink comes in a nice matte style container that is easy to pop in your handbag. I chose the colour ‘15 Lover’ as I thought it would be a good versatile day to day type colour that I could wear to work, and I was right. This soft pink colour would suit a wide variety of looks/outfits. The wand is a arrow shape with a nice sharp end which is great for getting those nice cupids bows on point, love it! I only had to dip the wand once and that had enough product on it to do my entire lip surface. After application, it is sticky for quite a while which is a little off-putting as I felt I needed a gloss or something to set it. As the day went on, I had my latte, my morning tea, drank water and no lip prints, yay I’m really liking this and can probably over-look the stickiness. I did find that it started to wear later in the day but, it was pretty subtle and not too noticeable so if you were in a meeting you wouldn't feel the need for a quick trip to the ladies to re-apply.

Over all, I really love this product and now want to buy the other colour and at $22.99 that is not too bad but I may wait till it comes on special (so I can buy more he he).

Tips: Go slow to start with till you get used to the applicator.

It actually really does stay on...

I've tried several stay on lipsticks and to be honest this is possibly one of the best in terms of staying power.

So the smell when you you it on is yuck - like a cheap vanilla candle but that goes away when it dries which is really fast. The brush thing to put it on is quite pointy which is good as you want to make sure you get your lines right. I have a dark shade and did clown mouth by accident and had to correct it with eye mark up remover as it was firmly a lip stain. God forbid you get it on the carpet!

People noticed it and I got compliments at work which I don't with my usual lipsticks - perhaps as it's so matt and quite dark it really does stand out.

The best thing for me was simply the staying power without going all crackly which is what I've had before from stay on lipsticks or very matt lipsticks.

By about 10 hours wear my lips did feel dry but certainly not cracking. After 2 meals, loads of drinks and 10 hours wear it was starting to wear off but not completely so I'd say that's a very good innings.

I'd certainly buy other shades but maybe not the lighter ones as I think they may look a bit weird with it being so very matt.

Tips: You're going to need eye makeup remover to get this off if you make a mistake.
