Matte perfection

I love a lippy that doesn’t need to be retouched every 5min. It’s super matte and the colour is always on point.

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!

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.

Maybelline Matte Lip Ink

Wow this stuff really lasts all day. I have been using this for work. I do find it feels a bit dry so I start with a lip balm then apply the lip ink and finish with a clear gloss.I wanted to see what this was like and love the staying power of the colour but prefer the shiny look. I only need to touch up with the gloss and that is with eating and drinking for the whole day.

Tips: If you have too much colour on the edge of your lip just use a cotton bud to blend or remove excess lip ink.

Super Stay Power

I was lucky enough to win one of these from BR, I also got to pick the shade I wanted to try. Me being me picked Escapist. I deep dark plum purple shade. Absolutely perfect for moody winter vibes.

The packaging, a sleek matte tube with what I think is mean't to resemble the shade inside the tube, however for the shade I chose it was definitely a miss conception. The shade was alot darker than the colour on the tube.

The wand, weird. Not the doe foot you see with most liquid lips. I really like it though! It makes it so easy to apply the lipstick.

I wore this for a 7 hour stretch! And I was so surprised by the lasting power. When you initially apply it it feels really sticky but dries matte making it comfortable on the lips. I only had to touch up once I had finished my coffee as it wore off a little in the corners.

The only downfall I found with this was taking it off! It stained my lips and it was really difficult to remove. It was extremely stubborn.

Matte Lip Ink - Believer

When these came up for Review, I thought 'I've got to try these!" I'm always up to try long last lip products as I'm a lazy girl who doesn't like doing touch-ups. Believer is a great shade of purple mauve and I like the pudding-y smell. The funny little foot applicator is a little troublesome for my skills so I sometimes use a smaller brush to get the shape of my lips tidy, and then fill in the rest with the applicator. Some people wouldn't like the texture or lip feel, but it doesn't bother me. If I can feel it on my lips then I know it's still there. One of the downsides for this is that I feel like I can't wear this to work because it does need a bit of maintenance from time to time. This might not be the case with a lighter shade, but I find that I want to check it and make sure it's not been bleeding. Others have said this copiously, that the best way to wear liquid lipstick is to have smooth lips. If I wear this with anything but perfectly conditioned lips, the colour stains the dryer parts a little darker than the rest of my lips. So, I would like to try a more natural shade and see how that goes, but Believer will be one of my wear less often but equally loved shades.

Stay put

I grabbed a few of these in a sale and I also did something I totally never do which is stray from colours similar to my natural lip colour.

I grabbed romantic and dreamer. Two quite decent sized tubes that will last me a while.

I am absolutely in love with dreamer it’s a really pinky lilac colour and somehow still has quite a natural look to it. It suited a nail polish I picked up in the vault by o.p.i perfectly. I was surprised it suited me without making me resemble a corpse or making my teeth look super yellow. Then Romantic is quite a bright pink.. probably my latter favourite of the two but still nice to try new things.

I am a huge fan of lip stains and I wouldn’t totally describe this as a stain or ink more a paint. But it’s very effective!! It has a wand that you paint the “ink” on with. It creates a paint like coating on your lips and it does dry matte.

Agree it is slightly sticky but not terribly worse than some other lipsticks.

The real positive comes from it’s staying power. I actually brushed my lips with tooth paste and brush to see if this would move when testing the colour and it didn’t budge. It stayed for hours. Applied in the morning and didn’t reapply, and it was still on my lips at 7pm. It had slightly worn on the inside but with lips pressed it was still good looking so I almost have to say if your worried check the inner lip application occasionally.

Also applied to my toddler who loooves makeup and it lasted.. she still had it on the following morning!

Slight taste to it almost cherry like.

I used Mac lip prep prior but actually found it stayed better without that.

It is very hard to remove due to its super staying power but I found wiping off with a baby wipe worked quite well. I don’t wear these often but was nice to have the dreamer colour to use with my matching polish and new maybelline palette on Christmas.

Will probably by another colour or two from the range eventually.

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.

Super long lasting

This is the most long-lasting lipstick I have ever used. Only fault would be that I find that the colours look different instore.
