Maybelline 18 Hour SuperStay Review

I love love love wearing lipsticks! Pinks and nudes are my favourite shades, but i hate the hastle of having to reapply. Yes I know this has been out for like, ever! but shh :D On a shopping date with a girlfriend I came across this product in Boots. Whilst struggling to hold our other shopping bags and coffee cups in one hand and trying samples on our hand, as every girl does, and out of all the lipstick 'samples' we rubbed on our hands only this one lasts. Most came off with a tissue and others after washing your hands but this just wouldn't budge!

This comes in a single double ended tube. The lipstick end has an applicator with a small sponge on the end for applying the lipstick, like you find in lipglosses. It just simply screws into one end, and the top coat pulls out of the other! The top coat is awesome, it's like a lip balm and glides smoothly over the lipstick and leaves a gorgeous glossy coating.

Just apply the lipstick, leave to dry for 2 minutes and sweep on the top coat. All you need to do is re-apply the top coat as and when you need! The packaging is recyclable as it's just a simple silver and red cardboard box. It has the name and number of the shade on one end, so you can easily tear this off and keep it safe if you ever want to buy the shade again.

The slight, and i mean slight disadvantages of this product is the the lipstick wand doesn't quite reach the bottom of the tube, so you can't get the last little bit out. Also it does not contain SPF which is a big thing in most make-ups nowadays.

Those 2 things aside, i love it! the colours are fantastic and it lasts for ages! well worth the £8 price tag ^_^
