In my experience no brand quite enjoys slapping on specific hour claims to their products
quite like Maybelline...Rimmel are a close second!
Tell me I am not the only one who notices these sort of things?
Well the newest addition to the beauty stop clock is Maybelline Super Stay 10h Tint Lip Glosses
which claim to wear up to 10hours...we shall see eh!
Oddly I quite like the packaging I find it to be quite funky
and given that inside is a liquid with the potential to stain the sturdiness of the bottle does not go a miss!
The want to apply the lip gloss is a little peculiar, it is a foam applicator that looks some what similar
to the regular doe foot sponges you find in most glosses only this one has a hole in the middle
and is wide, flat and bendy all of which you would think would make application a breeze.
Well let me be the one to tell you it wasn't in-fact it was a messy affair and the photos later on in the
post will only demonstrate this and dear readers should you have thin lips you are up a creek
without a paddle, this gloss is best applied with a separate lip brush for best results.
I'm sure in the US/Canada this range has ten shades but in the UK we have five,
my local Boots only stocked three shades and the one I liked best is Lasting Pink.
Lasting Pink is a bright almost fuchsia pink that has a strong red/blue undertone - raspberry pink?
I will say that they appear brighter in liquid form than they do on the lips
but the colour pay off is still intense when applied making them a great choice for pigmented lips.
On my lips Lasting Pink is a bright pink that is quite similar to Mac's Impassioned
not quite a dupe but the results are some what alike.
As mentioned above the applicator is useless with the contents of this gloss
and I do think gloss is the wrong word to describe this product
as it is more like a thick lip tint albeit a pigmented lip tint at that.
Admittedly Maybelline Super Stay 10h Tint Lip Gloss does tint the lips wonderfully
but the gloss element is barely there at all never mind lasting for ten hours.
I'd go as far as stating that the gloss fades after an hour of wear,
now i'm sure that the 10hour statement is more based on the tint prospect but misleading none the less.
The tint is a little drying and does settle into any dry areas that the lips may have
and in terms of wear I found the tint to last for around six hours which is fairly decent.
Product Summary
Round Up - A bright almost raspberry pink lip product that is more a tint that gloss.
Best For - Giving the lips a bright pigmented tint.
Pigmentation - (8/10) No denying that it is superbly pigmented.
Availability - Most Maybelline stockists such as Superdrug and Boots £5.99/10.5ml
I have such horrid thin lips so this would go everywhere, which is a bit of a shame as I'm always looking for long lasting lip products to wear at work so I don't have to keep reapplying them! x

Have you tried the tints by benefit those last really well and apply so much easier :)
Deletei envy you
ReplyDeleteUS/Canada this range has ten shades in UK have five..
but here in Asia its not even available :(
Thanks for review
you really aren't missing much when it comes to these in all honesty and thank you :)
Deletewow this looks like such a horrid product! im not a big fan of the packaging i have to say :/ or the way the applicator gets the gloss on the lips :/ and how misleading! 10 hours?! woww liarss!!
ReplyDeletehaha I love how strongly you feel about it :)
DeleteI bugs me too when brands slap time claims on their products, like the Tarte 12-Hour blushes!
ReplyDeleteYeah I don't get it at all :(
Deleteis there a pink color for this? would love to see you review it! i don't know what it is with these glossy tints, but the tints that has that glossy finish (though for a while) it has those holed doe-foot applicator.
ReplyDeleteI think there is a few pink shades :) I won't be reviewing any more of these sorry.
DeleteI never noticed that Maybelline were bad for putting wear times on their products, but now that you've mentioned it, you're completely right!!

Haha I always notice things like that...I spend too much time around make-up haha :)
DeleteHaha I never noticed that about Maybelline until you mentioned it, but it's true! Application with that applicator looks a nightmare!

Haha eyes like a hawk ;) oh gosh it really is!
Deleteits beyond me why they choose this applicator because i have ones of these and i use a little brush it give such a nice effect with the brush! but when i applied with this little sponge thing that came with it it looked like my two year old daughter applied it! but i do like that stay power i have to admit! x
ReplyDeleteThat was my thoughts exactly with a little brush applicator it would have been so much better! Haha yes you have summed it up wonderfully hahaha! Yes the staying power is it's only redeeming feature in my opinion.
DeleteI quite like the look of this colour and finish wise, but I'm one for no hassle lip products I can slap on whilst looking into my phone screen :)
ReplyDeletehttp://theredoneblog.blogspot.co.uk/
Me too but this is not that product haha!
DeleteWoah I thought I wanted to try these until I saw this, thank you for the heads up! x
ReplyDeletewww.a-place-for-beauty.blogspot.co.uk
Glad I could be of help :)
Deleteooh so this is a cheapy dupe of the YSL lipgloss stain things then ay? awesome. I hadn't even given them a second look in boors but I have a looonnng "to buy list" so I'll probably be giving this a miss. great review xoxo
ReplyDeleteI don't have the YSL version to compare but I think you may be on the money with that :) glad I could help whittle down that list haha :)
DeleteOh deary deary me Maybelline I am not impressed by the look of this. On the advert it seemed to look like a thick gloss (as you expect glosses to be) not a runny mess! Had the texture been a little thicker it might of applied easier. I do love the colour mind and if this was labelled as a 'lip tint' and just dabbed on lightly I could be tempted by it, but the fact that they've hyped it to be a gloss and a 10hr gloss at that, is just disappointing!xxx
ReplyDeleteps. great great review! I love your honesty
That is really what I thought but since when have adverts ever been honest with us haha I should have known better really but curiosity gets me in the end. Aww thank you!
DeleteI'm rubbish at applying lipsticks and glosses, goes everywhere at the best of times haha so this would be a nightmare!!
ReplyDeletexxx
Haha oh me too you should see me after a few drinks...krusty the clown ain't got nothing one me haha ;)
DeleteHi there - I love your products reviews, especially lipsticks. You blog is in my top 3 all time favourite makeup blogs.
ReplyDeleteJust one small nag - the last photo you post when you do lipstick reviews (close-up of the lips), is actually difficult to make out the true product colour. If it were possible to do a full face pic (similar to Temptalia) with the lipstick on I think the colour would come across in the photos more accurately.
Anyway, understand if you prefer not to do this :) Thanks again for your great blog.
Cheers,

Hi Nicole :)
DeleteNot a nag at all more constructive critism which I always welcome.
Oddly enough a few weeks ago I did order a tripod to allow me to do this but the eBay seller has yet to dispatch or answer my emails so I am in the middle of a dispute once I get my refund I shall be purchasing one from a trusted seller and will get the wheels in motion :)
Thanks for your comment :)
Oh dear this looks like an absolute mess to apply, not sure I could be fussed with spending a lot of time trying to make it look good ! xx

Was debating buying this to try but after seeing how messy it is to apply, I don't think I will be as I am the messiest person anyway. Lovely colour though, really suits your skin tone.

Uh....wow...uhm...I don't even...I'm...sorry you had to buy this? The color is gorgeous and it looks like it would have so much POTENTIAL but...that applicator ~hug~
ReplyDeleteI love this product, and I'm going to d also a reiew on this on my blog.

Bought this product today,two of them and I am very dissopointed. The colour does not last an hout let alone 10! I love Super stay 24 and have been using that for a couple of years but this is a big let down and I feel I have wasted good money on them.I wish I could get my money back.
ReplyDeleteJM
I really disliked this. I bought two, a pink one and a red one and they are ridiculously drying and dry patchy in warm weather for me. I've tried these with lipbalms, lipcote, other lipglosses ontop. Nothing makes these worth using to me at all. I generally seem to not get along with lipstains though so if I sound slightly harsh that's probably why.
ReplyDeleteHi! I just thought I'd let you know that someone has practically copied this post and passed it off as their own...

Hi Amy, thanks for letting me know. She has taken some of my images and slapped her water mark over them (the collage) so I have emailed her asking for my images to be removed.
DeleteThis seems to be happening far too often at the moment...sigh!
Thank you again :)
