Tuesday Review Vol. 1 // Maybelline Super Stay 24 Bold Matte





Maybelline Super Stay 24 Bold Matte // Hot Brown 845 - £8.99


So it seems everyone is trying out nude lipsticks at the moment and i was really looking forward to trying the new L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche which is recently come out but every place i went to had sold out of the colour i thought would suit me best. As a compromise i decided to try out the Maybelline Super Stay Bold Matte and i thought i'd do a review on it.

So to begin with i'll start with its "staying power"... As it is a fairly natural colour it was hard to tell when it had totally faded but it did stay on for a good couple of hours before i had to re-apply. 
The colour i wasn't to sure about (as i was hoping to go more pinky) but i actually like it and it gives my lips a nice tint without looking like i have foundation all over my lips! 
One of the biggest problems i have with this product has to be how dry and chapped it makes my lips look (especially now were coming into the colder months) So i have to be really careful in how much i apply.
The other problem i have is the way it feels on my lips, even when i have applied the Conditioning Balm. It just made them feel very chapped and sticky. So to over come this i put Rosy Lips Vaseline on top just to make it feel a bit nicer and it also gives it a nice pinky tint and shine (which i know is defeating the object of the Matte look)

Overall i do like the colour of this product but hate the way it feels so i don't think i would recommend it especially for the price that it is.

I hope you liked my first review and please let me know if i missed anything or you think i wrote to much. I would really appreciate it!
