Hi there!
I will review Maybelline Superstay 14hr lipstick in Please stay Plum. While a fuchsia or red lip has the ability to enhance the features of people, they are frowned upon in most offices due to their apparent “come hither” quality. In a professional environment people prefer going on for more earthy tones like brown, mauve or plum that are understated yet accentuate features efficiently.

Price: Maybelline Superstay 14hr lipsticks are priced at 525 INR for 3.3 grams in India.

For best results: Apply your lipcolor by starting in the centre of your upper lip. Work from the centre to the outer edges of your lip, following the contours of your mouth. Then glide across the entire bottom lip.

I purchased this Maybelline Superstay 14hr lipstick in Please stay Plum for my mom, at her behest. I wasn’t so sure if my mom would love it, read on to see if she did. 

My views on the product: My mother loves this lip colour! There are no two ways about it. This is the first lipstick that my mom has asked me to keep my clumsy paws off. Normally I am the one to issue this ultimatum, like the amazing kid that I am, this is the first time my mom has done so. :p

The colour is a gorgeously pigmented deep plum with golden microshimmer that looks great on my mom but even better on my slightly plumper lips. This lipstick can boast of almost single stroke opacity, so you can simply swipe it a few times and you’ll be good to go. It also has the distinct fragrance of my childhood love, the multicoloured candy called Poppins. The fragrance is strong when you apply the lipstick but fades away in a few moments so those who dislike fragrance in their products need to plug their noses for a few short moments, that’s all.

The finish of this lipstick is a bit hard to describe. It isn’t flat like a matte lipstick, yet it isn’t glossy but it’s a little more drying that satin. I guess you could call the finish something of a satin matte hybrid that works sufficiently well as long as you exfoliate your lips before application. Otherwise it’s sure to cling to the dry skin and look a little ghastly.

The problem is essentially in its formula, being a long stay formula it’s more sticky than most lipsticks that just leaves me with a bad after taste. It is also particularly loud mouthed for claiming to stay for 14 hours, but it has lasted a maximum of 8 hours on me. A feat in itself, but still considerably lower than the 14 hour mark. I also feel that at this price point, there are better lipstick ranges like the Rimmel or Revlon ones.
