Maybelline Superstay Vinyl Ink

I remember Maybelline's superstay liquid lipstick when it came with a lip balm attached because it liquid formula was so drying.

It's come a long way.

The Vinyl Ink is so much sexier in so many ways.

First off, it doesn't leave your lips feeling like they took a trip to the Sahara Desert.

In fact the formula was so light after it dried I barely felt like I was wearing lipstick at all.

Application was quick and easy and it dried quickly, the associated flavour could however be improved.

In terms of staying power it did last pretty well throughout my workday, but by about halfway through it started transitioning from 'full bodied colour' to 'stained and could benefit from a touch up.'

I also really liked the packaging, although perhaps slightly bulky, it was cool and felt like at 'it' product.

I would super stay with this lippy, of which I had in the shade Lippy.

I really enjoyed this lip product. The container itself is quite a bit bigger than other lip glosses/sticks etc I’ve tried in the past and it’s in cute modern chunky shape with VINYL embossed in capitals down the side and can I just say as someone with a clutter filled handbag how great this is to quickly find it blindly amongst other stuff when I need to retouch…iykyk. The colour I got was 35 Cheeky and it’s quite a dark mauve. It looked like it was going to be quite bold but it was actually close to my natural lip colour. I’m not someone who wears a lot of colour or anything very dramatic, I’m fair neutral cool toned with a bit of pink and red and struggle to find something that doesn’t throw to orange/terracotta on me. This colour was beautiful for me. The formula is a bit sticky to begin with but it drys down without looking matte, something I’m not used to with a wet look product. The applicator applies product nicely and evenly. I had no issues with it feathering however I did notice it transferred onto my cups and I did need to reapply mainly in the centre of my lips a few times but I enjoyed wearing it. It gave me a wet vinyl finish which I loved and found it wore well considering it wasn’t matte finish even if I did need to reapply. Best part for me was how non-drying the formula was because my lips are prone to dryness so that was a huge bonus for me. Definitely keen to try some of their other shades in this line.

I love it, beautiful colour. I put this on when I went to work and it has lasted all day, it has faded a little but is still there. It did stain my coffee cup a little but not as much as my usual lippy. It didn’t stain my teeth or run off my lips. It was a little tacky on my lips to start with, but didn’t last long. It had a lovely gloss for the first part of the day until lunch time. All in all loving this vinyl ink. Would buy more colours.

I love a pretty lippy to give me a pop of colour and add a bit of brightness to my face so I was stoked to of been selected for the Maybelline Superstay Vinyl Ink in the shade Coy (#20) which is a gorgeous mauve/pink.My first impression of the product was how bulky but cute the box-style recycled plastic packaging was.I didn't see any instructions written on the casing however there was a small sticker with the ingredients labeled in very tiny writing that almost required a magnifying glass to read so I just jumped online to the Maybelline website and discovered you actually have to shake the box-like packaging to activate the formula in order for the product to work correctly.The packaging was easy to open and close with a simple twist and the consistency was thin but not watery as such more in between and it was non-drip.I noticed a sweet vanilla like scent on opening which was not too overpowering and the product itself felt very moist and hydrating to apply on my lips,The brush was easy to use and glided nicely and smoothly over my lips creating a very pigmented bold look after just one swipe.I loved the colour pay off which left me with glossy shiny lips but I didn't like how sticky they felt especially after taking my first drink.I also didn't like the weird taste left on my lips almost like a perfume definitely not like vanilla.I did love how my lips appeared more plumper and fuller though and that the lippy did not sink in to any fine lines around my lips accentuating them more as some lippies tend to do.The product really does have lasting power and I found even after eating my lips still had quite a lot of pigment showing through but the glossy and shiny effect didn't last long and the stickiness was bugging me at times.I love the fact that it contains vitamin E and Aloe Vera to help with hydrating the lips and it's great that it's smudge and transfer proof but it's quite pricey for a "drugstore" lippy at around $30 a pop so I'm not sure if I would purchase this in the future due to the stickiness left on my lips.

Maybelline is a well trusted brand with a long-standing reputation. So having the opportunity to trial the Superstay Vinyl Ink lipstick, I knew I was in for a treat.

The colour I have is ‘35 - Cheeky’. It is a fantastic rosie nude. The package is a cute rectangle with embossed writing on the side. The lid easily screws off revealing an applicator for the liquid lipstick. The applicator brush is angled and a great size for coverage and control. The colour payoff is fantastic and is very long lasting. I have eaten with this on and it still stays. The formula isn’t too thick so isn’t reminiscent of the ultra drying liquid lipsticks of times gone by. The formula stays slightly sticky on your lips but doesn’t transfer. Definitely worth investing!

I am still torn on this product because it is really great but it makes some pretty lofty promises that it doesn’t 100% hold up too.

I wanted to trial a dark shade to really put it through its paces and the colour did not disappoint. The shade Royal is super rich and pigmented and goes on extremely opaque - no streaks at all.

The texture feels nice when applying, really smooth, but it quickly gets tacky if you put too much on. So you have to get it on fast and just one coat. It’s deceptive because it goes on glossy so feels like it will be more forgiving! The wand is quite big which is ok but you need to be confident when going in for clean lines with the dark shade. It dries with a pretty matte feel.

Once it dries things are interesting.. I would not consider this high gloss or vinyl once it dries. It’s certainly not matte, and I like it! But I’d hoped for a miracle with more shine.

Now the most important bit - the staying power!! I was pretty impressed! It does not smudge BUT it does come off from the inner lips with eating. Now to be fair I REALLY put it to the test and day one and ate ramen noodle soup! So yeah unfortunately no miracle and I was left with rather dark liner that truely wouldn’t budge! I couldn’t get it off!!

The next day I ate more reasonably for lipstick but still I did loose a bit on the inner lips over time.

Over-all that loss with eating is my only negative. It stays on incredibly well when not eating and I would say if you ate more politely than I did you might get 16 hours out of it - my lip line certainly did!

I’ll definitely keep using it and I’m keen to try a lighter shade!

Wow this stays on just like it says it will! Super bright, long lasting but a bit sticky. Definitely would still use it again.

Thanks for choosing me for the trial of Maybelline Superstay Vinyl Ink. The packaging looks superb and attractive. The color is nice however I did not like the sticky feel of this lipstick when applied. I applied gloss to overcome the sticky lips but still it did not help. The superstay is not as great as other Maybelline lipsticks I have. Therefore, I will probably not buy anymore from this range.

I loved the applicator on this lipstick. It really gave me precision applying the product. Great shade range. Mine transferred onto my coffee mug but I think that may have been because I had lip balm on underneath. Did last all day but found my lips were quite dry by the end of the day. Still recommend as the colour pay off was great

The Maybelline Superstay Vinyl Ink comes in a stylish container that is easy to open. The day I got the ink I had to be in some work photos so thought it would be the perfect opportunity to try this out. The wand allows maximum precision when applying and was a little sticky after applying. I noticed on my first cup, a couple of hours after applying, there was a lipstick stain but when I checked, my lips looked a gorgeous peachy colour and my lips still had maximum coverage. Some fruit and lunch later, when I checked, the vinyl ink was still in place and stayed that way until I got home and had to remove it. Pretty impressive considering I had only applied one coat. Not only does it have staying power, it smells lovely too and I loved the 'Peachy' colour as it was natural looking. This is my new favourite lippy and I love that it gives a lovely shine and you don't have to reapply constantly. Highly recommended!
