💋 Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink | Review & Swatches |



You might recognize these babies from my latest drugstore haul, they are the Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink.

This lippies are described as: "Intensely perfect, perfectly intense. Ink your lips in up to 16 HR saturated liquid matte."


It's usually hard for me to use matte liquid lippies because they always accentuate my lip lines and how chapped they are but what I noticed with these ones is that it doesn't happen. Even tho they have a matte finish, they also have a thick creamy formula that makes my lips look smooth. It is a bit sticky at the beginning, but that fades once the product dries on the lips.

They are very pigmented, there's no need to apply many layers to get the desired color. I also find the application to be easier than other liquid lipsticks. It might be because of the shape of the applicator.


It is true when they say it lasts for 16 hours, even if you eat and drink. The only part that kinda wears off a little as you eat is the inner part of the lips, but you don't need to retouch every couple of hours. Also, they are transfer proof once they set on the lips.
I'd defo go for one of these if I know I'll be busy all day with no time to worry about my makeup. Perfect for work and events.

They do have a sweet scent, kinda like vanilla or... cookies! Haha. It's not something that bothers me but, gotta keep that in mind if you don't like scented products.


Something I noticed is that the formula looks ugly if you apply lipbalm before the product, it kinda breaks and becomes rubbery. I usually do this with other lipsticks but it doesn't work well with these particular ones.

After all that, let's check the 2 shades I got:

The first one is #10 "Dreamer", which is a really pretty cold pink. I love how it looks on the package and I really like the color. I just don't know if I like how it looks on my lips. It's paler than what I usually wear.





The other is #125 "Inspirer", this is a soft, medium pink. Kinda like a... strawberry pink! I love everything about this color. I think it's perfect for an everyday look.




       
I only bought those two because I wanted to try them first. I think they are worth it tho. And they have a really nice variety of colors. I would defo get more and maybe try other shades rather than just pink.

Drugstore Beauty Haul



I can't remember the last time I did a makeup/beauty haul. Last month Walmart had a 2x1 in makeup and big sales lately so, I've been doing some shopping and I'm really excited to share them with you because I'm pretty happy with everything I got. I gave away some of the things I bought in 2x1 sales tho, so you won't be seeing them in this haul.
Plus, it's been a while since I walked through the makeup section in supermarkets.

I barely wear makeup these days but I've been testing them to write proper posts about some of them later this month.

Let's take a look at what I got:

First we have two liquid lippies from Maybelline. Both are from the Stay Matte Ink line and... both are pink! Haha. Even tho I do like matte lipsticks, they don't usually look good on my lips because of how dry they are, still I buy them. Hehe.
But it's different with this ones, they are creamy enough to look good on my dry lips.

"Inspirer" and "Dreamer"

Then we have the Revlon Photoready Rose Glow Primer. It is not my first time buying this product but, I ran out of it and had to repurchase it. Is defo one of my favorite primers atm.


I always try to buy mascaras during this 2x1 sales. Last year I got the L'Oreal Miss Manga Mega Volume Black Mascara along with others I gave away and this time I got the Maybelline Lash Sensational waterproof mascara.
It is waterproof, which is good enough for me. I think I've mentioned this before but, I'm not too picky when it comes to mascaras. Plus, the color of the packaging is lovely. Hehe.


Next is the Revlon Ultra HD Vynil Lip Polish lippie. I couldn't find it for sale anymore. I fell in love with this particular color after my friend Ceci got it. For some reason this color was sold out everywhere. So I had to get the Wonder Woman version of it. The color is just gorgeous, I just have to see how good it actually is. I've seen and heard many good comments about this line so, we'll see.

"Birthday Suit"

 Lastly we have a product that is not makeup but is still beauty related. And it's the Pond's Sensitive Micellar Water. I love to use micellar water to remove my makeup but, I haven't really tried this one. I'm cutrrently using the Nivea MicellAir, I need to finish before trying it. But the price was way too good to let it pass. I'm looking forward to try it tho.


And there you have it, you'll be seeing more from some of these products during the month with reviews and swatches.

I'll see you soon~ ♡

FOTD: 2 looks using the Sailor Moon x ColourPop eyeshadows



Hey there dollies!
I barely wear makeup these days but I thought it'd be fun to play with it a little and create 2 different looks using some these eyeshadows.
My makeup is never too dramatic, I try to keep things light and pretty, hehe. I tried to choose the shades I wouldn't normally go for, whch are mostly bright pink, yellow and orange. I'll list the rest of the products I used for each look.




If you want to read more about this palette, click here! There's a separate post dedicated to it with swatches and all that fun stuff.

Look #1


This first look is pretty natural even tho I used some bright colors on the eyes. That's why I wanted to keep the rest of it kinda neutral.

For the eyes I used "Justice" as a base and "Love" on the outer corner of the eye. And I applied some "Silver Miracle" to the lower eyelid to add a pop of shimmer. 
I have to say I love the shimmers in this palette.



Sadly, my camera barely catches the shimmers. 


Here are the other products I used along with the eyeshadows:



☆ Miniso Mini Pony Shell Makeup Base #02 Pink
☆ Mary Kay At Play Matte Liquid Makeup "Very light"
☆ Bissú Eyebrow Pencil "Lechero"
☆ Essence Velvet Matt Lipstick #23
☆ MAC Powder Blush "Flower"
☆ L'oreal Miss Manga Mascara "Black 373"
☆ Avon Super Definition Liquid Eyeliner "Black"
☆ Wet n Wild MegaGlo Highlighter Illuminatrice "Crystal High"
☆ Lime Crime Prep & Prime Makeup Setting Spray

Look #2


Even tho this look and the first one look pretty similar, the shades I used are completely different. I applied "Moon Castle" as a base, "Tuxedo Rose" on the outer corner to give it a pop of color and "Mare Serenitatis" in the lower eyelid.





Here are the other products I used along with the eyeshadows:


☆ MAC Studio Match Master Foundation SPF15 "NC25"
☆ Essence I ♡ Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara
☆ L.O.C.K. Color Lock n' Tap Cushion Blush "1 Coral Pink"
☆ Revlon Photo ready Rose Glow Primer
☆ Maybelline Colorsensational lipstick "875 Vivid Rose"
☆ NYX Eyebrow pencil "EP01 Light brown"
☆ Mary Kay liquid eyeliner "black"
☆ Wet n Wild MegaGlo Highlighter Illuminatrice "Crystal High"
☆ Lime Crime Prep & Prime Makeup Setting Spray

I've tried the other colors before because I do feel comfortable wearing gold and purple on my eyes. Let me know if you'd like to see some looks with those too.

Maybelline ColorSensational Mattes and Creamy



Hi sweets!
Here are the newest additions to my lipstick family. A while ago I bought two lippies from the Maybelline ColorSensational collection. One for me and one for my mom. We loved them so much that we got more for Christmas!
I got 2 creamy and 2 matte. Both are great, long lasting and the colors are super pretty!

💄 Creamy Lipstick
The first one is "Vivid Rose" (875) it is a really bright coral shade with a hint of pink. Mom and I got super excited over this one and chose the same color. It's like a nice pop of color on my pale skin! Haha.




Next is "Blissful Berry" (410) and this one is a bit darker. Kind of a burgundy-pinkish color. It looks really pretty and it's super long lasting!




💄 Matte Lipstick
First comes "Blushing Pout" (682) it's a cold pale pink that gives a very natural look to your lips. I think it'd be great to match with heavy eye makeup or when you are looking for that "no makeup" look.




And lastly is "All Fired Up" (687) which I think it's pretty similar to "Vivid Rose" but in a matte version.




So, I gotta say that even tho I've been loving the mattes, I find the application a little trickier than applying creamy ones. I don't know, maybe it is just me. I'm very happy with all these lippies tho!


The other two I bought are here! Maybelline ColorSensational Burgundy Blush

Maybelline ColorSensational / Burgundy Blush~ Perfect for Fall!



Hello my dollies!
Fall is definitely my favorite season and I've noticed burgundy color is a big trend right now. From clothes to nail polishes and of course, lippies.
I don't usually go for super dark lip colors, I actually don't think I change my makeup depending on the season but this year I decided to be a little more adventurous (with some encouragement) and try something more daring. And since I got many nice comments on how it looked, I decided to share more about it.

I usually go for pink and orange/peachy shades so, this was a big change! My biggest concern was I thought I'd look paler than I already am wearing a super dark lippie...(vampire came to my mind...) but surprisingly, I really liked it.

It's the Maybelline ColorSensational Matte lipstick in the color Burgundy Blush (696). It is a really deep burgundy color that is deffo perfect for the Fall-Winter season.
The lippie is super pigmented, you don't need many applications to get a strong color. It is also super, duper long lasting, even if you eat and drink.






The only thing I don't love about it is that since it's a matte lipstick, it dries up my lips. I always apply some lipbalm first. But yeah, I'm happy I bought this color. I'm seriously thinking about buying another dark shade for the season~

I also got one for my mom but not from the matte line but from the creamy one. It is the ColorSensational Creamy Lipstick in the color Are you red-dy (625) Love the name! and it is a beautiful bright red with a bright, fresh look. Mom's been liking it a lot!




Honestly, I saw many shades I liked from both, matte and creamy collections...I want more!

Here's how they both loo together, even the packaging shows which one is the matte and which one the creamy one.




Do you have any favorite lip color for the Fall season?
xx
