Kiss This One Good-Bye: PASS

In short, TAKING A PASS

As a regular user of Maybelline products, I was happy to try the Superstay Matte Ink liquid lipstick. The colour was right in my shade zone - a soft pink. As I opened the top and pulled the stick out, it was an obviously thick formula, fine stringy strands pulling out from the gloss like hot cheese on a pizza. And, I say gloss, though this is supposed to be matte. There was a shine to it. It went on my lips in a heavy coat, almost goopy. It felt sticky and gummy, and even when speaking, I felt like I had to 'unstick' my lips to talk. Futher, there was a minor burning sensation, though this is not a plumping product. The look on the lips was less than desireable; it sat so heavy that it wasn't like a nicely coloured lip, it was like an add-on accessory that seemed to highlight wrinkles and befriended my front teeth. I cannot speak to the staying power of this product because I wiped it off after a short time. I could not stand the feel of it. Even after a tissue wipe, I had to use water and a bit of a scrub to get it off. Yet, a residual stickiness remained, so I had to go back with soap, and I could STILL feel it. So, I am a NO for this product, a surprising 'miss' from Maybelline. Gloss, yes. Lipstick, yes, This hybrid liquid lipstick, HARD NO. I actually wonder if I had a bad batch, it was that bad! (See awkward photo for a gross visual!)

Beautiful shade but tacky feel.

I loved the color and the application of this product however, I felt that it was very very tacky until it dried. Then when it finally dried (as it took forever) I really didn't like the feel of it. I felt it was heavy, almost like a clay mask. Also it tasted weird when i licked my lips (i was drinking coffee). As for the applicator I found it to be very impractical and not very easy to use at all. Not a big fan. Sorry These products are available at Walmart if you would like to try them yourself. Perhaps they may be better suited for you. #TopRatedBeauty

Very drying and sticky

This lipstick is incredibly drying even when the lips have been moisturized with a high quality lip balm. It also makes the lips feel sticky at all times.

7/10

Lip applicatior broke off in the bottle, it was very hard to get out of the bottle originally and I was very gentle but it still popped off and I was not able to use it. :(

Stuff of nightmares

I feel terribly that I am one of the only people I see that doesn't like this product, but oh my gosh it is the worst! I tried SO many times to get this to work but absolutely hated it every single time. It was so gloppy and sticky and then dried to an absolute concrete finish. It emphasized every line and mark on my lips and started to crumble as I moved my mouth around when I was talking or laughing. Taking it off was awful as it is next to impossible to remove. No oil or balm I had was able to remove it so I had to take a warm wash cloth and scrub my lips so hard to get it off! It is an absolute NO from me.
