This time last year I reviewed the Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink Lipstick which I loved and today I'm going to be talking about the Maybelline Superstay Ink Crayon which is basically the stick form of the Matte Ink Lipstick.
The Maybelline Superstay Ink Crayon costs £9.99, comes in 12 shades (as far as I can tell) and even has a handy built-in sharpener, I chose the shade Lead The Way which is a neutral pink shade. I really like the packaging as it's simple, pretty and gives you an indication of the colour inside which is perfect for anyone who purchases multiple shades.
I love the shade of this lip crayon, it's perfect for throwing on every day and gives you that your lips but better look. It's very pigmented and applies really evenly and smoothly, it has a soft matte finish that's really flattering and it doesn't feel drying. I think this would be a great product for anyone who doesn't like the feel of a liquid lipstick but wants a similar/slightly softer look. I find it really easy to apply, I've used it a bunch of times and haven't felt the need to sharpen the crayon as it goes on perfectly every time although you may need to sharpen it if you choose a dark/bright shade so you can line the lips perfectly. It is long-lasting but you will need to reapply throughout the day especially if you are eating and drinking a lot, I do find it leaves a little bit of a stain on the lips which is nice as it stops the lips looking patchy as it wears off.
I love this product and definitely want to pick up more shades, I really want to try a deep autumnal shade or a bright red. This is a really well put together product that's easy to use and gives great results, it packs a punch whilst being more wearable and comfortable than a liquid lipstick so I highly recommend the Maybelline Superstay Ink Crayon!
