Product Review: Maybelline Super Stay 14 Hr Lipstick

My Dearest Beauties,

Matte, long wearing and pigmented; I say these are the main characteristics a lot of ladies look for in their lipsticks. Guess what? The Maybelline Super Stay 14 Hr Lipsticks have all of those three plus an amazing color selection and an impressive creamy texture that sets into a beautiful velvet feel.

They have been around for a while now and I think they are a very good option to wear out to work, or a brunch, or even a night out on the town. Their long lasting power is sure not to fail you.

I have three shades that I consider beautiful and pretty wearable. Judge for yourself!

The shades from left to right: Always Plum 260, Stay With Me Coral 430, Non-Stop Red 510

I'm wearing Non-Stop Red

Have you tried any of the shades? What are your thoughts on these lipsticks?

Orange Lipstick Trend - Take One

My Dearest Beauties,

Maybelline recently sent me a bag of goodies to try out, and the highlight of all the products was the amazing lipstick! The color is not only on trend but the lipstick formula and scent is delicious (creamy and pigmented). The lipstick is from the Color Sensational range in the color Vibrant Mandarin 914.

It is easy to notice all hues of orange playing the main character as far as lipstick all over magazines and blogs. I thought I would show you my favorite orange shades one post at a time.

I have two pictures for you, one was taken with the camera's flash on and the other with just shiny sunlight. It looks brighter than it actually is in flash photography but beautiful still, in my opinion.

Don't be afraid to try orange lipstick just keep looking for the perfect shade that compliments your skin tone.

Much love,

Samar

How to Pull Mac's Saint Germain Lipstick Off

My Dearest Beauties,

The Saint Germain lipstick by Mac is very popular and it is also, in my opinion, not so easy to pull off. I have a little technique to make it look really pretty and still have that very light color and blue under tone.

Use Dali's lip liner in the shade No 55. Line your lips and fill in the corners. Think of making an ombre effect that fades in the center.

Dab the lipstick straight from the bullet. Once you have the intensity that you desire then proceed to rub your lips onto each other, think that you want to make the lipstick stick to your lips and blend with the lipliner.

You'll be left with a lovely and delicate powder pink shade on your lips. I love to wear this combo in winter because of it's cool undertones.

Much love,

Samar
