Since becoming a mommy, I have been feeling like dressing and doing my makeup a little more classically dainty and feminine (think less black tops with bronze eyeshadows and dark cat winged eyes and more flowy dresses with sparkly highlighter, peach and purple shadows). BUT I realized that among all my MANY MANY lipsticks I didn’t have a neutral mid-tone pink to complete my look. Time to go shopping! YAY!!!
I went to a nearby drugstore to checkout what’s new and treat myself. I did no research – just wanted to go in, see what caught my eye and take a chance. Other then colour, the other important factor was getting something that would not transfer and ideally lasted throughout the day, or as long as possible….(I kiss my little one all day, every day and would prefer him not covered in pink smudges ;)).
After perusing the different brands, I bought Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink liquid lipstick in the colour Lover. The clean modern packaging caught my eye, there was a great selection of shades, and the term “ink” made me think that it would have staying power (good marketing!).
