Lipstick Brand & Title: Maybelline | SuperStay Matte Ink | Liquid Lipstick
Price: $9.49 (CVS)
Shade: available in 35 shades – the shade in review is ‘125 Inspirer’
Scent: smells like vanilla cupcake
Type: matte finish
Claims: flawless matte finish, 16-hour wear time, highly pigmented
Component Description: each tube is colored to match the lipstick shade, white cap, shade name sticker on bottom, twist-open, lightweight
Dexterity Concerns: no; it’s easy to twist open/closed, & the component is large enough to comfortably hold in the hand
Style: 0.17 fl ounces, made in the USA, NOT cruelty-free, NOT vegan
Rules: no pre-hydrating balm/primer, no lip liner to affect wear time, dual-coat application, no gloss on top, no touch-ups
Activity: throughout wear test – drank 1 can of mountain dew, sipped water intermittently through a tumbler straw, vaped 7 times.
……
⭐ Initial Application: – 1400 – creamy, able to line lips w/ applicator, only needed two dips in the tube, lip lines are quite visible, bold color, took a while to dry down, made my teeth look yellow
……
🕑 2-Hour Mark: – 1600 – [still wearable] color has transferred onto my teeth somehow, slight rough ‘holes’ on the lower left lip – not sure how that happened
……
🕓 4-Hour Mark: – 1800 – [still wearable] no real extreme change since last check-in, do notice cracking on the center-most part of my lower lip
……
🕕 6-Hour Mark: – 2000 – [still wearable] absolutely no change since last check-in, has kind of a ‘sticky’ feeling to it
……
🕗 8-Hour Mark: – 2200 – [still wearable] absolutely no change since last check-in, still feels quite sticky
……
🤓 Final Thoughts:
▪️Transfer Test: pass; no transfer with kiss test
▪️Teeth Test: fail; this specific shade brought out the yellow tones in my teeth
▪️Shade Range: beautiful, vast assortment of colors
▪️Value: affordably priced & accessible – @ $9.49, I would consider this affordable (<$3=low-end; $4-$10=affordable; $11-$20=mid-end; $21-$40=high-end; >$41=luxury)
▪️Packaging: really cute & on-brand
▪️Applicator: the applicator is called an ‘arrow tip’, & I can appreciate it. It was easy to create sharp, precise lines
▪️Formula: this formula is excellent. I thought it was good, but I never ‘properly’ tested it out. I’m impressed!
▪️Results to Claims: not necessarily ‘flawless’ as it didn’t fill-in my lip lines, matte finish, definitely long-wear, definitely highly pigmented
▪️Recommend: yes, for 8+ hours

Omg, I’m obsessedcwith this lipstick, I have several and it truly is almost transfer proof (my blender bottle seems to be the exception, no idea why. My only beef is that on dry down, some of the colors change from what I expected based on the tube and don’t look as great as I’d hoped (with my skin tone). But, all in all, I really like this product!
What was your experience with removal? Mine was miserable. Peeled off in chunks but didn’t even do that well.
My friend gave me a few of my these and love them. They stay on forever!
I love this lipstick! I always wear this teaching a full day (before masking) because I don’t think to reapply my lipstick at school. I was amazed with how it looked after I ate lunch too!
To help with the sticky feeling, I highly recommend blotting after initial application. I found it doesn’t affect wear time/opacity.
