Maybelline Superstay 24hr review

I'm a massive Maybelline fan so was really excited when I brought these a few months ago and have managed to wear them a few time, unfortunately because I have been crazy busy I haven't been able to share what I thought of them until today. I've used a few of their superstay products before and absolutely loved them so was extremely excited to try my new two out.


prune plaisir.
I'm actually in love with this one. It is part of their bold matte collection and the finish is gorgeous. In the tube the colour looks really purple which is what attracted me to it but when I applied it to my lips the purple colour had a pinkish tone to it, this did not bother me as it is another purple to add to my collection. The next time i wore this colour I applied one coat and then waited for it to dry and then applied a second coat to which the colour became more intense and looked like it does in the tube. This made me very happy as it gives me the versatility to wear it in different ways and with different outfits. The colour has a doe foot applicator which is great for applying the inner colour. I personally would unload some product on to the back of the hand first and use a brush to line the lip before using the applicator to apply to the lips. As you can see in this picture I have just applied the product using the doe foot applicator and the doing so I have ended with a wonky line. The colour is distributed evenly over the lip and the balm you apply after is super hydrating.


Tangerine pop.

This is part of the ultimate red range to which they do a lovely variety of reds with all different tones to them. The same as the prune plasir one it looks so different in the tube but unlike the prune plasir I am disappointed with this one. I love orangey red lip colours and with a name like tangerine pop and the colour you see in the tube you would think that is what it would be but no! Don't get me wrong I do like the colour and will still be wearing it but I just wish it was as vibrant as it looks in the tube. It has the doe foot applicator and like the others I think I will be unloading some on to the back of my hand and using with a brush make sure I have a nice line to which I will then fill in the colour using the applicator. My main problem I had with this one is one application doesn't give a great intensity, to get the coverage and intensity in the picture I had two applications. 










Overall I love the long wear of these products but they can be quiet drying if you don't apply the balm quiet frequently. I would recommend anyone who likes going out and partying this should be a complete must!! As its non transferable which is perfect as you don't have to worry about keep reapplying especially after a few drinks. What makes it even better is that you can by the balm seperate as well which saves you having to carry the long tube out and about with you!!
Let me know what you think of the products and what's your fav colours!

Brows Brows Brows

Omg I’m such a sucker for brows! I get massive brow envy on a daily basis and I love it when someone comments on mine!! I hate it though when people come in and there eyebrows are all over the place or there over plucked or even worse when it’s like they have painted them on with tar and they don’t move and there completely different colour to the hair oh my it makes me want to cry!
They say your eyes are the window to the world so that leaves you brows to be the frame, if you think about it they are! They frame you face and without them well it looks ridiculous  heres some images of celebrities without eyebrows but yet you can go too far with the eyebrows aswell i wouldnt recommend doing this! I am partial to big natural brow you just need to find the happy medium!





I have tried so many products I started with 1.Rimmel brow pencil which was perfect easy to use and perfectly priced for my teenage years. 2.love label brow powder I then moved on to using a powder which I brought from very it came with tweezers, brush, stencils 3 powder colours and a powdered highlighter. It was ok nothing great but it did the job. What made it annoying was the fact the medium brown was too light but the dark brown was far to dark. 3.Rimmel brow mascara this product was lovely but just wasn't for me unlike the pencil and the powder it doesn't fill in the gaps from over plucking and I did find it to give my lashes a slight shine which wasn't a bad thing. I ended up using the pencil first filling in and then use this product which worked rather nicely. 4.Soap and glory Archery in brownie points I was a tad scared at using this product at first and had heard such amazing thins about it but unfortunately this 100% wasn't for me. The pen tint part dried up quite quickly and the pencil was far too waxy although the colour was good. Was a shame as I had such high expectations.5.Sleek eyebrow pencil this pencil is gorgeous it applies smoothly and is so easy to use it twists up so you don't need to sharpen and it is designed in almost a triangle shape nib so you can really get lovely definition. The formula is soft and unlike most pencils does not pull the hairs. I brought this the same time as s&g archery and used this a hell of a lot more. 6.maybelline brow satin I had been seeing adverts for this for ages and as soon as it came out I made this purchase! It is by far the best and easiest brow product I have used and best of all its sooo natural looking. Firstly you use the pencil and with gentle strokes fill in the gaps and make your eyebrows a bit fuller then flip over and apply the powder! Simple!! I always get comments on my brows when I use this and I'm always asked if I have HD brows people look amazed when I say I don't! Best of all they have 4 colours which include mahogany red which you rarely ever get with drugstore brands, dark blonde, medium brown and dark brown.100% would recommend this to anyone!!


If you have tried any of these products or know of any other products which are amazing please let me know! I love trying new things specially when it comes to brows!



Lots of love

My life-savers

My two lifesavers I have with me everywhere I go in fact I have a few dotted around so there is always one close.



My first lifesaver is lush lip scrub in bubblegum flavour! Omg this product is to die for. As a lipstick lover having dried cracked lips is an absolute no no! So when I found this a few years back it was perfect, made my life so much easier saved me carrying around a toothbrush and looking a little bit like a nutter! It works amazingly removes all the dead skin leaving me with soft smooth lips and what makes it better is you can lick you lips and really taste the bubble-gum.


My second lifesaver is good old Vaseline can't really go wrong with having these in literally every room and bag! I use this for everything from my lips to my feet, I always seem to find something new every day that I can use it for! I use it at least once a week to make my feet soft and smooth as I'm stuck on my feet all day everyday it's like a little treat! I use it on any hard or dry skin I ever get and it works perfectly!


what are your two life savers/ must have items you cannot live without.


lots of love

My Saviour!!

Winter has hit my lips hard what with the cold weather and for some strange reason the air con has been on at work . Dry cracked lips always sore it's been a killer. Empty Tubs of Vaseline and tubes of Carmex have been disposed of but yet unlike previous years these haven't helped one bit this year. It's been hell I haven't been able to wear lipstick which for me a lipstick lover has been hell. After making some purchases of Maybelline make up I got a free promotional baby lips Dr rescue.... And OH MY GOD it has been my saviour. Within a few days my lips were back to themselves. The best thing about these lip balms is the hint of colour they have to them which has led to me not having to always wear lipsticks.



I love the shine it leaves on my lips and I now understand why they are so popular, were constantly selling out at work. It's now my must have item that I carry on me all day everyday I cannot live without it. At such a cheap price and also being 3 for 2 at boots why not get your self a few!
Let me know what you think about them. I love hearing what others think.

Beauty tip of the day

Always use a base coat first top protect your nails! It stops the colour from staining them and it also will hold the colour on for longer and always finish with a top coat.... Just to keep that colour on for extra longer ☺️

Beauty tip of the day 💡

You can make any of your lip colour matte even when there not. Amazing right and so simple. Perfect for changing up the finish of your favourite colour and just give that versatility! 

Simply apply your lipstick, blot with a tissue, then making sure you have a single ply tissue place on the lips and brush some TRANSLUCENT (I highlight this because you need a powder with no colour in) powder over the top of the tissue.........TAH DA your favourite lip colour made matte.

So simple and easy yet effective and non time consuming let me know how you all get on

Thick and creamy

           If your after a thick creamy hydrating body moisturiser the smells divine.. look no further Soap and glorys body butters are to literally die for! With 6 different scents there's something for everyone.


The righteous butter- The most well known of the lot, winning loads of awards all the time and getting a lot of publicity. scented with the Original pink fragrance it is one for people of all ages.


Butter yourself- Fruity and fresh smelling body moisturiser containing exfoliating AHAs, orange waterjuice, shea butter, peppermint oil & fruitliquid fig. Scented with soap and glory's Fruitigo fragrance. something even men can use as long as they don't mind the pink packaging.


Orangeasm- We all love a good orangeasm with a name like this its something you cant really forget. it is super rich and has a lovely zesty scent. The most amazing thing about this butter is the Shea butter and mango milk massage balls which when applying explode giving an extra burst of hydration. 


Smoothie star- Luxurious, lightly whipped, super nourishing 5-oil deluxe body butter. I'm not overly keen on the scent of this one as I'm more of a fruity fan, the way I would describe this is breakfast maple syrup and coffee it is very popular though.


The Daily smooth- This is so hydrating and leaves the skin super soft containing rosehip seed oil and cocoa butter you can't go wrong. Fragranced with the mist you madly scent with is a musky fragrance.


Sugar crush- My absolute favourite it smells so good I want to eat it from the tub. moisture-extreme, re-energizing, sweet-lime scented body butter that leaves my skin super smooth. Bursting at the seams full of super hydrating ingredients such as Shea and cocoa butter, almond and coconut oil, and a super-refreshing triple whammy of lime oil, kiwi juice water, and smoothing lime tree blossom extract. It is so irresistible.


So whatever your favourite scent if you will always be left with super soft, smooth and hydrated skin. these are by far the best body butters I have ever tried what with their tongue and cheek names and quirky pictures they are well and truly memorable and once you have tried them you will never look back!


Cheeky little tip when you hop out the bath or shower apply the body butter straight away so it will also lock the water in for extra hydration.


Lots of love
