Our lips do so much in a day; smiling, eating, drinking, and
for those of you who aren’t in a single slump such as myself, maybe even some
kissing. Long-lasting lipsticks promise to last throughout the day without
smudging or fading away. The question is can you add some serious staying power
to your pout without subtracting some serious cash from your bank account?
Maybelline’s Super Stay 24hr lip color is a two-step lip
gloss/balm combination that promises up to 24 hours of continuous wear.
Rimmel’s Lasting Finish Lipstick is a one-step application that guarantees up
to 8 hours of wear.

I wore each color for one day without reapplying; these are
the results.

The Maybelline contender stayed put relatively well, the
balm wore off at the same rate as any lip balm would, but the color had hardly
faded after 12 hours. Rimmel’s Lasting Finish Lipstick on the other hand hardly
lived up to its promised 8 hours of wear, most of the color had faded after 6
hours leaving only the edges of my lips outlined, not such a good look.
You may have to reapply the balm throughout the day, but
even without it, Maybelline’s Super Stay 24hr lip color doesn’t dry out your
lips, which is a big plus. I’m not sure if it could last the promised 24 hours,
but it would definitely make it through date night. The verdict: splurge.
Thanks Danielle. I think I will try that.
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered if those lipsticks actually worked! And good call doing the before and pictures :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Thank you Danielle. I love that you did the test. When I see commercials that make promises that make up last all day I always get sceptical. Make up is something that I like to hear reviews on, because there are so many choices I get so overwhelmed.
