Stays the distance

This lipstick is the longest lasting liquid lipstick I've ever tried! Usually lipsticks wear off for my by morning tea time, even the ones that claim to be long lasting never seem to stay put. This stuff really is like ink. The formula is creamy and very pigmented, you only need one swipe for great colour pay off. It dries down to a matte finish and once it's dried it's not going anywhere! It lasts me all day from around 7am to 6pm during the working week. Occasionally I need a wee touch up after eating but most of the time I don't need to worry about it. The only down side is that they do dry my lips out so I make sure to use a good lip treatment at night or sometimes I'll pop a balm over the top if they get really dry.

Tips: Take your time when applying as it's hard to shift if you make a mistake. If putting a balm over top be careful as it does tend to smudge the lipstick but if you apply carefully and let it set again it's fine.

Love this matte ink

I put this on in the morn before heading to work, do a long hard physical days and work and its still in place when I come home! Dont put a snd ayer on during the day as it can tend to get clahggy, if it needs a tidy up wipe the majority of it off and slick the lippy on again. I have 4 colours and this is my current go to lippy :)

Tips: Be careful to follow your lipline carefully as mistales are hard to recity without starting again.

Tacky?!

'Pioneer' is a beautiful red-red colour. (i.e. doesn't pull orange at all.) BUT once it dries, when you press your lips together, your lips stick together. It is like as if you're pulling a sticker off your skin, your lips peel apart as if there is a thin layer of mild adhesive on them.

Good But Some Drawbacks To Lipstick

Love the way the wand applies the color to the lips, makes it very easy to apply. Unfortunately half way through the day it gets tacky and does not feel the best . It seemed to last most of the day even in its sticky state! I liked the pink shade l chose , and it seemed to have agood coverage and pigments. But would only ,buy it on sale if purchasing again.

I'm unsure!

OK, I do not know where I stand on this product! First of all, the pricepoint is amazing, its super pigmented and I love the scent (vanilla-ry), and it does last the whole day BUT it just doesn't seem to work for me. Because it is matte, I have tried putting lipbalm on before application to give my lips some moisture, but then the lip ink doesnt stick and it just turns out to be an ugly mess. If I use it on clean, dry lips it looks great but is suuuuuper sticky and if your lips get dry it once again goes weird with lipbalm and gives uneven coverage. If I eat or drink with it, the inner part comes off but the outside is still perfect so requires a slight touch up.

I do like this product, but I am super conscious of how sticky it makes my lips and need to check it often to make sure there is still even coverage. And it doesnt budge. I have to use makeup remover to get it off. For a night out, I would recommend 100% but for a full days wear in the office a bit too uncomfortable for me.

Tips: Wait to buy until Maybelline is on sale at your local supermarket!

A no fuss SUPER lippie to brighten up your day!

I have this Lip Ink in 4 colours so it is safe to say that I rate it! My favourite shade is 'Seductress' a dark nude colour. At an afordable price you will not be disapointed in it's staying power - it really does live up to it's SUPERSTAY name. A generous sized product, which applies like a gloss and drives fast to reveal a matte appearance which is not going to budge or transfer until it is removed! Highly pigmented, it comes in a wide range of shades. The applicator is an interesting shape, with a hole in the middle to capture the product. I personally love it as it glides along the shape of the lips easily.

PROS: - Perfect for people who do not wish to reapply throughout the day, prefering a lip colour that has staying power - Wide range of stunning colours available - Affordable

CONS: - The consistancy can be a little tacky, be wary of applying too much product to minimise this.

Tips: - An Oil based makeup remover works wonders to remove this, I struggle to remove this with plain micellar water. - Ensure that you take care when applying, try to be precise along the lip line as it dries fast!

Looks and smells devine

I love this product! I don't like super shiny glossy lips, so if you're the same as me then you'll like this Matte look range. They have a great range of colors to choose from and it lasts like it says it does.

Why spend so much $$ on overly expensive ones when this does the trick for an affordable price?

If your lips do go dry, I usually just dab on lip balm not a lot just a little to keep the matte gloss from cracking on your lips.

Tips: One application should do it, over applying can cause a little mess and a cracking mess on your lips

It's not for me

The colours are great and very pigmented but they are just a bit sticky and drying and doesn't touch up very well I really think too that it all depends on what your personal preference is with lips whether you like that liquid lip or something more hydrating and I think personally for me I prefer more hydrating products that are a bit easier to touch up through the day

Super pigmented, love them

These are beautiful shades and easy to apply. They stay on even after eating. I like liquid texture of them. They glide on smoothly.

Staying Power

I was recently gifted one of these in a lovely mauve shade and actively looked for opportunities to wear it, as I’m wearing a mask out in public and they are few. I’m so used to a traditional bullet style cream lipstick I hadn’t realised there were such long wearing formulas out there that are so good! This lipstick will not only last through an afternoon of zooms but also a BBQ, drinks and coffee with very little wear and it’s not drying at all. It takes a bit of getting used to. Firstly start with dry lips, make sure you have the perfect straight line using the wand - it’s easy as it’s shaped into a point. I find I don’t need to add more product than what comes out for an application to fill both my top and bottom lips. You need to then wait patiently for it to dry before you’re good to go. The drying part is the only stage that your lips feel a little claggy and uncomfortable but after that you barely notice you’re wearing it. 8 hours is probably the longest time I wore this and there was some wear around the centre of my mouth which I would have touched up if I was out but I didn’t see any transfer onto glasses or food like you might notice from a normal lippie. You might think removal is hard but my normal Neutrogena oil cleanser just wiped it away without the need for any flannel or cotton wipes. I’m definitely going to be getting this again in a more coffee colour shade next time I’m out and I see Maybelline on special.

Tips: Don’t press your lips together in the application phase as you’ll end up with a sticky mess and colour won’t transfer correctly and you might have to start again.
