I absolutely love a new high street release, especially when it's from the genius team at Maybelline! This season Maybelline have once again expanded their lip product lineup, offering a new line of matte products which won't let you down - whatever the weather!
The Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink* range is a new concentration formulation, which offers you an intense ink-like colour, in an ultra-matte finish, which will offer you a flawless twelve-hour wear. They are packaged in gorgeous square tubes - the bottom half of the tubes are colour coded to match the shade inside, whilst the top of each of the shades, is a clean white hue. Simple typography, finished in black and silver font, finishes off the packaging - sharing the name of the product plus the Maybelline logo. I think the packaging offers something chic and pretty, but most importantly it's something you can easily find in your makeup drawer. I love when you can find the shade of the product, without hunting for the shade label.
When you unscrew the lid of the Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink, you find a long wand and a precise arrow applicator. This has been created to offer you a smooth application in just one quick stroke - a statement colour, which a inked, second-skin effect on the lips. There are 10 super-pigmented shades to choose from, offering you everything from nude hues, to bright reds, to rich purples. So there really is something, no matter what mood you're in.
To use the new Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink shades, you simple apply the liquid lipstick, starting in the center of the upper lip. You then follow the contours of your mouth, to fill out the entire top lip, finish the look by gliding the liquid lipstick across the entire bottom lip. It's very quick and really simple to use! The colours are very rich, which over a lasting stain on the lips, which is great, as you don't need to reapply. They retail for £9.99 each and are available in Superdrug and ASOS.
