My favourite lipsticks/£3.99 Maybelline offer

[JudithS]

I keep trying cheap lipsticks to save money but it always turns out a false economy because nothing seems to stick to my ropey old dry, wrinkled lips these days!

So normally I wear Maybelline SuperStay 18-hour lipstick. It is one of those with the colour at one end and a spongy applicator, and transparent Vaseline-type stuff in a stick at the other end. You have to let the colour dry before you add the see-through cover. It is great! Even for someone like me who is constantly nibbling and drinking tea, it stays on REALLY well. The downside is that the RRP is £7.82! That's why I kept trying cheaper lipsticks. Sometimes Boots and/or Superdrug lops a couple of pounds off the price as a promo, or sometimes I get a gift voucher for my birthday and I'll buy a couple. I get a mauve one, colour 310.

Just thought I'd share!

I was going to get a new one from Superdrug last week when I noticed something else in the Maybelline range, half price at £3.99. It's the same idea as the Superstay lipstick but the transparent bit is a thick liquid and comes with a brush. This one only claims to last 12 hours, but it is pretty good. I got colour 330 which matches my natural lip colour very well but enhances it, if you see what I mean. It's another mauve shade.
