Hi again,
My experience with lip gloss started as a child where you
get them in little selection boxes at Christmas or birthday and they are thick,
sticky and although they probably didn’t smell very nice, you would like your
lips because it tasted so nice that you’d be lucky if it lasted more than 5
minutes.

| but its sooo tasty...!!?!! |
I am so happy to say that in my later years I have discovered
what proper lip gloss is and that it shouldn't feel or smell like those I remember
from my childhood, however I do still struggle to find a gloss that lasts more
than an hour at most, and if you are eating or drinking it becomes near enough impossible not to leave lipstick marks over glasses or cutlery.
After being recommended Maybelline’s Superstay 24hr Colour
Lip Gloss by a friend, who said she struggled to get it off at the end of a
night out, my hope was lifted and I went to Boots to purchase it it straight away although still slightly dubious of the claims it made, when I got
home to try it out I was very surprised by the results.
The packaging states that this colour contains a “Flex-Formula”
that is “No-Transfer”, “Non-Drying” and wears for up to 24 hours. All you have to do is paint on the colour
like a gloss, wait for it to try completely and they apply the balm over the
top, and reapply if necessary. The
colour and balm come in a handy double ended pen, which would fit neatly in
your handbag for a night out.
The colour I chose was Rose Quartz which as the name might
suggest has a rose gold/copper colour tone with flecks of shimmer rather than
glitter. The scent is very sweet with hints of vanilla and strawberries, and
the colour when applied to the lips becomes very sheer almost nude, but this
allows for the shimmer to reflect and refract light everywhere.
While the colour is drying it is best to keep
your lips apart as they become very sticky and almost like glue if you they
get stuck together. They become dry in
about 30 seconds to a minute and then you apply the balm which glides on like
hot butter. Your lips instantly lose the sticky feeling and become smooth and
soft, without feeling greasy.
After rigorous
testing I can say that in my opinion this lip gloss/colour is kiss-proof and
smudge-proof and after going out to dinner with my family and coming home to
find I still have to wash the colour off my lips I can safely say it is food
and drink proof as well.
I am really impressed with this product although I’m not
sure I’d call it a lip gloss, more a lip colour as they balm gives your lips a
more pearl texture than gloss. However I still think it’s a must have for a girls
going out make-up kit. I think I have to try out so more colours just to be
sure...hehe!
See you all again soon
Love
