Maybelline Superstay 10hr Stain Gloss in Lasting Pink

If you follow us on twitter you'll have probably heard me mention the Maybelline 10hr glosses. I absolutely love them. I originally picked up Forever Fuchsia (reviewed here) and absolutely loved the colour and formulation of it.

The packaging is simple with colour coded lids so it's easy to grab the colour you want if you have more than one of the shades.

I love the shape of this applicator with the well in the middle. This helps to get a neater application as there isn't as much product at the edges so you can get a neat line around the lips.

The glosses are very pigmented and can have a really glossy finish. I like that if you only apply one coat it isn't too glossy so it can be as glossy as you like.

The colour lasting pink I think is a bit more red than it applies. It can look pink in some lights but I'd say it was more of a red with a pink base.

I do find lasting pink colour isn't as long lasting as forever fuchsia.

I love this one as much as the first and prefer these to the apocalips. They don't stain as much as the apocalips but i find they are a softer texture, apply neater and find they don't transfer to my teeth like the apocalips do.

I really want the other three and may have to treat myself soon. They retail for £6.99 and I find the tubes last ages.

Have you tried these?

Lipstick Mondays Maybelline 10 hour tint gloss

I recently picked this up on a trip to boots, after spotting it at the till in Superdrug. As I said in my make up haul, I'm definitely not a lip gloss person. They just bug me but this is different. It's not sticky at all, it glides on the lips and is just soft and provides amazing colour pay off.

I picked it up in the shade forever fuchsia. It's £6.99 but currently on 3 for 2 in boots. This makes me want to go and buy another 3.

It has an easy to use heart shaped wand that holds the perfect amount of colour for application. It has a small hole in the centre of the wand that holds the product. I'd say this photo shows the colour best.

As you can see the colour pigmentation is so good and it just leaves a pretty glossy finish that isn't sticky and isn't going to instantly rub off your lips. It's a little bright than this photo shows.

As for 10 hours stay, that's a little adventurous. Due to the stain it does last longer. I tend to apply one coat let it dry and apply a second 30 minutes later. It probably lasts around 3 hours. Even though it doesn't last the 10 hours stated, I'd definitely buy this again and I'm wanting to try other shades.

I'm really lusting after the YSL glossy stains but every time I go into my boots the sales assistant just jumps on me and make me feel uncomfortable. They never seem friendly on my YSL stall :(.

Have you tried either of these? Even if you aren't normally a lip gloss person I'd thoroughly recommend this. I'm loving bright pinks at the moment for my lips.

Hope your week has started well.

Make Up Haul

Over the past few weeks I haven't been able to resist the great 3 for 2 offers across all of Superdrug make up and the 3 for 2 on Maybelline make up in boots. I'm very drawn to lipsticks at the moment. It's a product I used to not even think about considering but lately I'm favouring a bright pink lip. (suggestions on brands and shades to try appreciated!!)

First up Superdrug last week. I was instantly drawn to the Sally Hanson nail shades as I hadn't seen them before. I've only just started noticing Sally Hanson nail polishes in boots and Superdrug. This one is called Glitzy Gal and while the nail seems a bit cheap to me I love the polish. It's jam packed with glitter and only takes two coats. Will do a NOTD soon. I'm yet to try the look nail pop. This is in the shade kimono a duo chrome nail polish in a khaki and gold shade! 

As I needed to get one more thing I went to the sleek stand. I was disappointed at first as there were none of the blush by 3 palettes and I'd been wanting one for ages! So we opened the draw below and there was one left in the shade Lace. This was the palette I'd wanted so I was pleased. L was with me at the time and also found the palette she wanted. I know you're not meant to but I do have a quick peek if what I want isn't on display. I have used the blushes everyday since I got them! I am in love with the colours!

 A quick trip to boots for lunch ended up with these three. I'm definitely not normally a lip gloss girl but a super stay 10 hour lip tint caught my eye. (I was hoping it would be similar to the YSL glossy stains I'm currently lusting over) I will do Lipstick Monday's with all the lip products. I love love love this gloss. Does it last 10 hours...... No it doesn't but it's a gorgeous bright pink shade I'm happy to reapply (Forever Fuschia) I also picked up my favourite mascara ever! Been using it for 3 years now and don't think it'll be replaced. I've tried lots. And lastly the Maybelline colour pop in Shade 80 cherry pop, this is similar to the topshop cult pink glittery lipstick but gives a gorgeous sweep of red sheer cover and smells amazing like cherries! I'm going back for more colours.

And lastly I picked up two of the Maybelline Dual 24 hour stay lip products (they come with a balm and stain all in one). Can you see a pattern. I was so impressed with the Maybelline lip products. Originally I swatched these on my hand in the morning and had to go back and buy them as they had lasted all day even with lots of hand washing. Unfortunately the lasting power on the lips isn't quite as good but I still love them and would buy more. I got shades 195(Raspberry) and 510 (Red Passion), a bright pink and cherry red. I also picked up a new gel eyeliner as I've almost used my first pot I bought when it first come out. I love this product!

I've been spending loads but couldn't resist a good deal. Plus I'm loving a bright lipstick now the sun is shining. Have you taken advantage of the 3 for 2 offer?
