the departed ♥

Okay, can we talk about how pretty this red shade is? I am obsessed with this Cherry Pie number (542 to be exact). I was casually looking for a nice lip shade a few weeks ago and I happened to swatch the Maybelline Superstay 24hr DualEnded Lip Color on my hand. I had to rush back home so I didn’t have a chance to buy it but the swatch stayed on my hand…forever! I had to literally scrub my hand to get the red swatch off so I knew I had to buy it. I know the point of this lipstick is to last for 24 hours and boy did it last. This lip colour basically works in two steps – the first step is applying the lip colour then waiting one to two minutes before applying a clear balm over the top. The balm seals in the colour and adds instant shine.

 

I know for most of us, it can be quite difficult topping up your lipstick during the day, especially at work and it can be pretty pointless when you drink tea or coffee all day or if you are on a night out. But because the balm actually seals the lip colour, it lasts even more when you drink. The main thing that I love about this product is the actual shade, it is such a pretty red and I really think it suits my skin tone, I love how deeply pigmented it is. Have you tried any of the Maybelline lip Superstay products before? The one shade I wanted to buy is called Constant Toast 136 – I haven’t been able to find it yet! Have a lovely afternoon girls, let me know what Superstay shades you have tried. 10/10 ♥
