Review & Swatches: Maybelline SuperStay 14 Hr Lipstick in Perpetual Peony




The following day

Pros
- Long-wearing
- Pigmented
- Doesn't transfer

Cons
- Strong plasticky fruit scent
- Limited color selection
- Slightly drying

Value
$7-9 for 0.12 / 3.3 g

Verdict
Overall: B
The shape of these lipsticks remind me of the L'Oreal Infallible Le Rouge lipsticks, which I've still yet to try, but both lines don't have colors that attract me that much. Sadly Perpetual Peony turned out too cool-toned for me once again, very unnatural against my skintone. The lipstick itself is very long wearing, but it made my lips look dry, and the stain doesn't look attractive after a while when it's concentrated in certain areas. I thought it was ridiculous that I still had a slightly stain a day later, on my lips and my hand.

Repurchase?
Probably not.

  1. I think you've missed the mark on your grade for the Maybelline Super Stay 14 hr lipstick. I just bought my first tube and am frantic, as are many of my co-workers, to find more. It is soft when applied, does not dry out, does not need a topcoat of gooey sticky gloss which adds more chemicals, and does not show up on my husband's lips, my glass, or my sandwich bread. This, for me, is perfect.

  2. @ jaycee I think the color selection just turned me off, and I don't like it when lipcolors make my lips look dry.
