Maybelline Super Stay 14hr Lipstick





So, today's post is a little different. I am finding these lipsticks really hard to describe! I don't like writing bad reviews on products, so I just don't add them in. But with these lipsticks there are likes and dislikes, although there are more likes than not! 

Anyway, on to the product. 

I received these in the post around two weeks ago and have been trying a few out, I haven't been able to try all of the colours out, but have managed a few! 

A couple of instagram pictures of the ones I have tried ....


This one is Infinitely Fuchsia, this has got to be one of my favourites :)


I believe this one is Always Plum.

The plum colour is not something I would go out and buy and to be honest took a little getting used to, but I actually grew to love it! 

Now onto the product details:


• No drying out, no running, no disappointments

• Thanks to the colour-capsule technology, the pigments are included in a long-lasting, lightweight texture

• So when applying the colour one with the lips - for 14 hours hold and comfort 

• In 12 shades


The shades are as follows:













 Now, I would like to say that this collection is only available in Switzerland, France, Italy and Germany. The details on the colours found in all other countries will be on the Maybelline website.


So finally, my thoughts....

I really like these lipsticks. The main reason I like them is that I don't have to apply them every hour or so, I really don't have time with a little one running around! The colour selection above is really nice, mostly pinky colours which suits me down to the ground! 

There are a couple of things I would like to add, I did have to re-apply the lipstick but only once, it had started to come off of the inner part of my lip. Also, they did rub off on things (I only know this because I kissed my hand to test them) but I wasn't actively walking around rubbing my mouth on everything, so this wasn't a problem for me. 

I did however find that they felt quite drying, my lips didn't feel very moist at all. I think if you want to get a shiny look from these lipsticks you will have to add a gloss on top. 

There are so many mixed reviews in this product, some people hate it and others love it, which I guess you will always get. But my overall opinion is that I liked them, they were very well pigmented and did last a long time. Like I said they only really started to fade in the inner part of my lips. 

There were two colours in the collection I didn't like, they were the two browns, but that is just down to personal preference!

This collection is released in Feb, can't wait to hear your views on them
