The Best Liquid Lipstick I’ve EVER Tried

in Beauty on 06/29/17

Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick

Today, I’m coming at you with a beauty product review!

I know that it’s not too often that I write ‘review’ posts…but this product deserves its own feature. Allow me to introduce you to the new Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick. Believe me when I tell you, this stuff is insane!!

The new Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink collection is one of the best longlasting liquid lipsticks I've tried, so I'm sharing a review

Toronto lifestyle, fashion and beauty blogger, Jackie Goldhar, is sharing her review of the new maybelline superstay matte ink liquid lipstick

A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to attend a media event to test out the new Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink liquid lipstick, prior to the Canadian launch. It was a fitness event, held at the Toronto location of SoulCycle. FYI, SoulCycle is a serious workout! The event was held at SoulCycle to demonstrate the staying power of the Superstay Matte Ink lipstick. I felt a little bit ridiculous applying a bold lip colour prior to a work out, but hey – everyone else was doing it!

Well. Not only did my lipstick survive SoulCycle (as did I!!), but it also survived two meals and my softball game that night. As you can imagine, I was shocked and thoroughly impressed.

I’ve tried other liquid lipsticks before and none of them have ever lasted through a meal. Keep in mind, I’ve never tried LipSense. Despite having never tried LipSense, I’d still be willing to bet that the Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink is a better product. Not only is it significantly less expensive, but it’s also a lot easier to apply.

If you’d like to learn more about the Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink, here’s some additional details:

 

The formula –

The formula is lightweight, velvety and highly pigmented. A little goes a long way. According to Maybelline, the lip colour is supposed to stay on for over 16 hours – and I can vouch that it really does! It will survive eating, drinking, sweating…and kissing, too 😉

The Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink is different from traditional liquid lipsticks, thanks to its weightless formula. It has 0% clay and elastomer-gel, which results in a quick-drying application.

 

Application –

The application process is easy and precise, thanks to the arrow-shaped applicator. With just one swipe on your lips, you will get full coverage. Of course, if you’re like me, you’ll need to go in again to touch up your lines, especially around your cupid’s bow.

A Few Critiques –

Even though I love this lipstick, there’s a few flaws to point out.

First of all, because the lipstick is so long-lasting, it can be difficult to remove it. What works best for me is to use an oil-based lip scrub. I’ve been using the Honey Lip Scrub from Lush and it seems to do the trick. Just make sure you apply the scrub over the sink, because it can get a little bit messy.

Another issue that I’ve come across while trying out the Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink lipsticks is that with some of the darker colours, the colour fades a little bit in the middle of your mouth after a few of hours of wear. Maybelline says that there’s no need to reapply throughout the day, but I’ve had to touch mine up a few times.

Lastly, I do notice that the formula feels a little bit sticky. I’m not sure why that is, since it only takes a few seconds to dry. Even with the sticky feeling, the colour stays in place. It’s not a deal-breaker, but just something to be aware of.

Where to buy Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink Lipstick –

As of right now, the new Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipsticks are available in 10 shades. You can buy them at drugstores, as well as online at Amazon.ca and Ulta.com.

    These photos are amazing!!!! I use the lighter colour ones and only apply the smallest amount and it keeps my lips pigmented all day. If I apply more that that . Like you said , it never comes off! Haha

      You definitely need to try one or two of these. I like the Smashbox ones too, but I think these stay on longer. It’s nuts!

    I love how bright these colors are! I hate reapplying lipstick all the time. These sound great!

    Hi Jackie,
    Saw this lipstick at a local Rite Aid, googled to find reviews and swatches and found your blog!
    Your blog is amazing. Have been spending the past few weeks enjoying your posts. Your photography and composition skills are amazing. Thx for sharing your blogging tips. Blogging is serious work… So in the meantime, will just curl up at desk and learn from blogger. Have learned so much from you… Would like to try the exfoliating face cream and prescription sunglasses from your posts. I just found out about a website called Feedly where you can round up your blogs in one site to be up to date. Will open and account and include yours…. Thx so much, amazing job… Sandra

        Hi Jackie,

        Yes, did purchase the color: Heroine, have wanted the orange/coral family for a long time…. 🙂

        Always wanted to be a super-her(oine)

        It’s is a little fiery, so as a second layer, I use a lighter pink to tone it down… and then a gloss….

        Still amazing…. people start conversations based on the color 🙂

        Thx for the review… love your blog 🙂

    Hi Jackie,

    I’m recently try this lipstick, and I love it! But, by the end of the day, is a little hard to remove it. So what I’m using is the Maybbelline Superstay Eraser Lip Color Remover, it looks like it melt the lipstick on the lips and its very easy to remove.

    By the way, loved your blog!

2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all r 2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all remember. It’s been a big rollercoaster, but there’s no one else I’d rather ride it with than @woodley.matt 🥰

We’ve endured so.many.challenges this year...but we’ve also had some of the best and most exciting moments of our lives this year.

I still can’t believe we bought a house, got engaged AND got a puppy this year (all within a month)! 🤯

Nobody knows what 2021 will bring, but what we do know is, it will start the same way 2020 ended: at home.

I also know we will finally be finishing and moving into our new home in early 2021, and I CANNOT WAIT!! As for wedding plans...ehh, it’s a little tricky to plan these days, so we’ll cross that bridge a little later 😜 

Wishing you all a safe and happy new year at home! 🥳 (which I’m totally okay with - I’m a 👵🏻 anyways)

I picked up knitting needles for the first time in 10+ years (maybe more?!) at the start of the pandemic. I bought a DIY unicorn kit and it took me months before I got around to finishing it. Still, I enjoyed it. 

So, this year, I thought it would be fun to knit up a few gifts for Christmas presents. 

My next project? I’m going to attempt to knit myself a cardigan. 🤭😲🤗

Christmas 2020 - like many things this year, not “normal,” but we made plenty of memories. 

We had a low-key Christmas morning, filled with Bailey’s coffee, Miller snuggles (and weird facial expressions) and cinnamon buns. We finished off the day with a Jewish Christmas dinner: Chinese take out!

I’m finishing up the last of the gifting projects and then it’s onto baking cookies! 💁🏼‍♀️

I *think* I know what I’ll be baking...but I’m having a tough time committing 🤪

Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁 Even though it hasn Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁

Even though it hasn’t been a “normal” Thanksgiving weekend, there is so much to be thankful for. 

One (very) small thing I’m thankful for is that I took Matt’s advice on forgoing my usual butter-only pie crust recipe for one that includes shortening. I used the pumpkin pie recipe from @sallysbakeblog - including the mix of shortening and butter in the crust. I think it was my best pumpkin pie yet! 
(The Turkey was fantastic too of course 😏)
