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.

Love M
