Today, I made a semi-annual trip to Walmart. I decided that I wanted something new for my lips. As I looked at my favorite brand, Maybelline, I found something brand new. These new liquid lipsticks are something that I’ve never even heard of.
I bought the Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink in Dreamer (pink) and Creator (purple). I almost didn’t buy these. I have so many liquid lipsticks and the colors seemed so ordinary. You have to judge the color based on the tube because you don’t get a peek at the color inside. I found the colors to match the case quite well.
Creator. The purple is hardly unique. I feel like I probably have several other brands with similar colors. It looks a lot like a Jordana Liquid Lipstick that I already own. The only reason I bought this is because I’m such a huge Maybelline fan.
Dreamer. The pink is a light pink color. I do believe it has a touch of brown too it. I probably didn’t need since I own every shade of pink lipstick they make, but I needed it. We all have those lipstick shades that work well for us, so we buy every single one they make.
They smell alright. The smell reminds me a bit of the Hard Candy Liquid Lipsticks. I think the Hard Candy smell slightly better. The smell really reminds me of cake batter.
I haven’t actually gotten a chance to try these on my lips yet. I just bought them and swatched them. I think they might end up being like the Revlon Liquid Lipsticks. The Revlon ones are matte but require a lot of drying time. I hope I like these better because the Revlon ones aren’t exactly my favorite formula.
Still, it’s exciting to have something new to try. I can’t remember the last time I bought a new lipstick.
I expect that these will be staining. There’s just something about the name that implies that for me. I don’t love lipsticks that stick around so long, you end up wearing them the next day. I had to really scrub to get the swatches off. Of course, the pink came off more easily. There are still traces of the purple left behind. I’m hoping these will have nice staying power without sticking around too long.
The formula seems really thick. My experience with liquid lipstick makes me believe this could mean they don’t go on evenly or dry down evenly. I really hope this isn’t the case. This is just a first impression. You’ll have to check back for the review.
