When it comes to everyday makeup, I’m a lipstick girl through and through. If you were to bump into me on a totally random day (how cool would that be?!), chances are my makeup would consist of:
- Neutral shadow all over the lid.
- Brown liner subtly smudged along my lower lash line.
- Lipstick, bold but not too bold (although my scale of lipstick boldness might be totally different than yours!).
I can’t deny I have a soft spot for high-end lip products and their gorgeous packaging, but when I find a lipstick range that is as good as Maybelline SuperStay 14HR, I don’t really care if it’s packaged in plain old cardboard or cheap plastic.
I own three beautiful, wearable shades that you can see pictured above (boy, I really need to start brushing my hair!). In order of appearance, you have:
- 720 Lasting Chestnut: this 90’s brown is the most recent addition to my collection.
- 160 Infinitely Fuchsia: the shade that got me hooked on the formula. I find this to be the perfect fuchsia for my skintone, as it doesn’t lean too cool.
- 260 Always Plum: a nice plum that pulls more brown than purple against my warm complexion.
They have a velvet finish, meaning they’re matte with a slight sheen, and even though they’re super long-lasting, they’re not drying at all. If you don’t have a very oily lunch, I think you can get away with no touch-ups throughout a long office day (I always touch up my lipstick after lunch, though). They definitely don’t bleed nor smudge, even if you don’t use a liner. Their packaging is actually not bad either: the cap is white, while the bottom part reflects the color of the lipstick itself.
Have you ever heard of this line before? Do you have any other shades to recommend? What’s your staple, everyday makeup look?

September 24, 2015 at 2:34 pmI have seen that range, but never actually picked one up. Lasting Chestnut may be the first I´ll get, such a perfect reddish brown!

September 24, 2015 at 5:51 pmIt’s probably the most unique one of the bunch, I don’t have any other lipsticks that look like it.

September 24, 2015 at 6:44 pmThis range is great and definitely long lasting. I have coral one and I’ve used it quite a lot, such a bright summer shade! These are also perfect for this season, I am loving always plum! xx

September 24, 2015 at 10:02 pmI prefer heavy eyes over bold lips to be honest but I love velvet finish and I have no idea how I never came across these lippies! Thanks for the recommendation! 🙂

September 25, 2015 at 5:55 pmFuchsia color looks so flattering on your lips! I didn’t try this line yet, but matte and non-drying sound very good, I should check it out. Thanks for your review 🙂 xx

September 25, 2015 at 7:46 pmI like these 3 shades on you very much! If you bumped into me on the street, my makeup would consist of:
Neutral eyeshadow similar to yours, black liner along my upper lash line, and a soft peach-pink lipstick. Have a great weekend, Carol!

February 1, 2016 at 10:50 amI really like the look of the chestnut one here! Really lovely and one I would opt for. There’s a similar one actually from The Natural Collection in Boots called Chestnut and it’s very similar in shade, it’s not long lasting but for £1.99 it’s not too bad if you don’t mind re-applying.
Lovely picks here.
