Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink Review

I thought I'd do a review of some products that are fairly new to me! It's a new favorites review for summer 2017 beauty products!  I don't wear a full face of makeup very often, especially not often in the summer as I like to have a fresh face and let my skin breath. But I do enjoy playing around with makeup and trying different things out. I recently started using the Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink liquid lipsticks and I've been loving them!


I do like the confidence boost I feel when I wear lipstick as I am someone who likes to look put together however I don't wear regular lipstick too often as I find it usually just rubs off. I also don't like how it leaves marks all over cups and straws and everything. Maybelline's Super Stay Matte Ink is different though!



It is a liquid lipstick with a great formula. I really enjoy this product! I actually prefer liquid lipstick over regular lipstick because it lasts much longer and does not leave much residue. Once I apply the SuperStay Matte Ink to my lips and wait a couple minutes for it to dry it stays in place. It is easy to apply; I like the applicator and the color goes on pretty smoothly. The applicator is an "arrow  shape" and allows you to apply the product precisely. There is great coverage! I also find that it does not smear and it does dry matte but it does not dry out my lips! Some liquid lipsticks can be very drying but that is not the case with this product!



It can take a little bit of effort to take the product off but that it to be expected as it's supposed to last up to 16 hours on your lips. If it came off super easily then that would defeat the purpose of this product. It is recommended that an oil based makeup remover is used to take it off. I usually use a makeup wipe such as Neutrogena's cleansing towlettes or I use Garnier's micellar water on a cotton round and these methods both work. I sometimes also use cold cream such as Pond's to remove my makeup as it is very gentle.

The liquid lipstick definitely does a super job staying on my lips (see what I did there since it's called  SuperStay *wink* ok maybe only I think it's funny 🙈) but I have not worn it for 16 hours so I cannot say if it truly does last 16. I have worn it for 10 hours and it was still fine, it did not look 100% the same as it did when I first applied it but it did not look drastically different. It still looked good! And 10 hours is a long time for a product to last. Also if someone needs to/wants to wear a liquid lipstick (or any product really) for up to 16 hours that mean's they're expecting a lot from that product and they shouldn't mind having to touch it up once if they want it to look as good as it did when they first put it on lol.


If you're in need of a new liquid lipstick I recommend checking out this product. It comes in 10 different colors. And even if you're not a huge fan of lipstick I still think you may like this because as I said it stays on well, does not smear, and is comfortable on the lips!

I did receive this product complimentary from Influenster to try out and review however all opinions are my own, I truly love this product!

I've included the colors that I have as well as a couple of the other ones so that you can see a selection! #SuperStayMatteInk

I hope you found this review to be helpful, thanks for reading!

Have any of you guys tried these liquid lipsticks?

A Day in Rockport


Rockport is such a quaint and cute place to explore. Most people go to the Cape (what us New Englanders call Cape Cod) but the northshore of MA has some great places to visit during the summer too! Including Gloucester and of course Rockport!

My friends and I actually took the commuter rail there since there were 6 of us and we didn't want to have to take 2 cars. The train ride was pretty pleasant and it took about an hour to get to Rockport from Boston. 🚉


We went on a Monday and that meant that there weren't many tourists around. It was kind of nice since it was so quiet and relaxing. We first did some window shopping and checked out this little book store.


I loved the views between these buildings and shops!




The sign outside this shop was so cute!



Below is the cafe where a couple of my friends and I stopped to get lunch before taking it to eat on benches near the beach!


 You can see part of one of my friends in this pic lol, Hi Rosie 👋

It got cut off a little but the writing at the top of the picture says: Coffee should be black as hell, strong as death, and sweet as love... -Turkish Proverb

The next picture was my view while I ate lunch ⛵


I love signs like that with the names of a bunch of different cities on them! Probably because it reminds me of traveling! ✈️



The little place we stopped at for dessert, although it's called The Ice Cream Store I actually shockingly got sherbet since I was in the mood for something more fruity and refreshing. However I am not usually one to choose another type of frozen dessert over ice cream! (shout out to my friend for this pic of the store since I was still working on finishing my sherbet!)



My sherbet and the view from the window near my table in the little ice cream place.

I also got some salt water taffy to take home to share with my family, can you tell I have a sweet tooth?! - I promise I don't just eat junk though 🙊


I thought that the design on the taffy box was so pretty!


A little overview I took while we were right by the water!
WARNING- The music is a bit too loud. 🙈 I will know to have it much lower in the future,  I don't have much experience with making videos though lol



Hope you enjoyed hearing about my day in Rockport. I definitely recommend visiting it if you have the chance, there are so many cute shops, pieces of art for sale by local artists, and there is of course great seafood too!

Is there anywhere special you are hoping to visit this summer?

Thanks for reading!
