Sorry I have been MIA. I have been focusing on my instagram lately. I usually post my updates there. If you haven't please give it some love and follow me if you like @awomansmodedevie.
Anyhow, it's another review day today. I thought I'll review the Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick. I have with me the shade Loyalist. This is like the best nude that I have ever seen in the liquid lipstick world. It suits all skin tone.
So let's start with the packaging:
- the packaging is quite sleek and simple. It is actually the thing that attracted me.
- it has a doe-foot applicator that will help in precise application of the product.
- the formulation of this lipstick is quite thick
- you need to remember to scrub your lips before applying this as it helps the product to stay put and won't feel tacky and patchy later on
- also you can apply or dab powder or foundation on the lips so you won't feel the tacky feeling
- the drying effect takes a little bit longer. the "3 minute" frame time is very unrealistic. Base on my observation a good "7 to 10 minutes" is the perfect time frame to make sure that it has finally dried and has finally mattify.
- try not to rub your lips together while the lipstick is still on the drying process as it will flake off - this liquid lipstick is also prone to creasing so better stay your lips in idle position (lol)
- make sure to apply only a thin layer. if you go thicker, it's going to take longer for it to dry off
- even if the liquid lipstick has finally dried off, you can still feel the product on your lips. it's not lightweight.

The verdict:
- I personally love the shade, the packaging. The formulation is a bit meh. The long lasting power is good. It doesn't smudge which is what we need for our liquid lipstick. Although if you eat greasy food the lipstick will fade off
- also you need to remember to use oil based make up remover to remove this as any water based won't dent.
This all sums up my review. I am hoping to try other colours and I will have an update in here.
Thank you so much and I hope you love my review. Until then :)
Ciao Bellas!
