Gloss / tint hybrids have been around for a while now, so I
finally decided to jump on the band-wagon and tried the slightly less well
known Maybelline super stay 10 hour tint. It’s a lovely gloss, and since buying it around four months ago I
have got a lot of use out of it.
The unique heart shaped applicator makes applying the
product really easy and also makes topping up the product simple. Also, the
smell of this product is amazing; it’s a real fruity scent which fades away
quickly.
Maybelline claims this gloss lasts 10 hours; I would disagree
with this. I think as a gloss, this lasts about 2-3 hours and as a tint, maybe
up to 6 hours. However the tint it does produce is a really pretty plum hue. The
gloss I bought is in “timeless plum” and I think it’s a gorgeous, true plum,
colour. I have very naturally dark lips and with one slick there is 100% colour
pay off. If I’m wearing this during the day I will mix a little into my lip
balm and if I’m wearing this on a night out I will build it up to a darker plum
colour.
I do find the product
tends to settle into the cracks of my
lips as it dries, so what I tend to do is apply lip balm before and
after application of the gloss which stops it from settling into cracks and
makes it last longer. Overall, I really like the Maybelline superstay
10 hour tint gloss however the fact it is quite drying is a little annoying but
for £5.99, you really can’t complain.
What lip tints can you recommend to me?
