Flashback Friday: Maybelline SuperStay 24 Color Lipstick

Maybelline Super Stay 24 Color Lipstick
36 Shades $9.00 (give or take)

I don't know why I move on from things I have loved and review well in the past.
Originally, I tried Maybelline's SuperStay 24 Color back in 2011.

Pretty much, it met and somewhat exceeded my expectactions; LONG wear, with a considerably less drying formula than its competitors in the field.  It's as close as I'm ever going to get to my fantasy of tattooed lips.

They have extended the shade offerings, 36 in all,  with 045 Wildberry comes close to my idea of a dream shade; a just bitten, natural looking lip.  I also love using it to lock my beloved MAC Soar Lip Pencil in place, basically, all day.

Lip Lock: Does Maybelline's 24 Hour Super Stay Stay?

I have tried several long lasting "liquid" lipsticks before.  Most are formulated as a three step process; apply, dry (embalm)? and the revive with a clear balm. They worked, technically, but always made by lips feel like sandpaper.  Still, the thought of not having to reapply my lipstick a few dozen times a day fills me with hope...
