Shooketh!?! A No Smudge, Longlasting, Drug Store Lipstick?
Still looking for a long-lasting, non-transferable, comfortable, matte lipstick? Well girl, look no further, the answer is within the confines of your local drugstore. This product was released by one of affordability's oldest makeup brands, the L'Oreal subsidiary, Maybelline New York. Founded in 1915 by Thomas Lyle Williams, Maybelline has always looked for a method to produce top tier quality for bottom shelf prices, and let me tell you girl, they've done it again.
Released in Summer 2017 (yes, I know I'm late, but ReverseJames hadn't been invented yet, and I MUST share this with the masses), the Maybelline New York Superstay Matte Ink is their take on the highly desired matte liquid lipstick formula.
For starters this line is composed of 20 different "super saturated" shades. The first offering of shades, used as the line's introduction into the market, features 10 color rich lippies each created with varying levels of underlying hues of red. The remaining 10 shades, known as the Superstay Matte Un-Nude collection, features nudes for a variety of skin tones including the grayish-mauve tone Hunteress and deep chocolate brown, Protector.
The wearability of this lipstick is fantastic! It has a pointed tip application for precision and glides on as easy as a gloss. Initially the feeling is reminiscent of classic lipstick as it creates a sticky finish after application. But girl, the magic happens once it dries which roughly takes about 10-11 minutes. The final product gives you the moisturizing comfortability of lip balm with the matte look of a highly pigmented lip stain. The team at Maybelline definitely get props for this formula as the richness of each hue prevents having to apply several layers and giving that cakey feeling. The best part though is that its non-transferable, kiss proof, and suitable for a hot, date night. The worst part though, is that it actually lasts 16 hours, so after a night of kissing its still a pain to remove. I recommend taking it off with makeup remover or cleansing oil. The Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink can be found at your local drug and beauty supply stores such as Target and Ulta Beauty for about $7.99.
