Red Lip Month: Maybelline SuperStay 14hr Lipstick 540 Ravishing Rouge

Another long lasting red lip colour! Yes, I'm sorry, but the idea of reapplying red lippie every couple/few hours to make sure my lippie still looks good is such a hassle! Yep, lazy. Got it in one!
This little beauty is around £7 in the UK (feel free to correct me about the price), and this particular colour definitely leans towards blue toned but not so much that it washes out you warmer toned gals and guys. It applies pretty well and smells of scrummy sweets, and dries to a matte finish. It does have minuscule glitter particles to give your lips a subtle, almost-there shimmer to stop it from looking too matte. 
I won't say that this lasts me 14hrs (seriously, I think the whole 24/14hr thing is over exaggerated) but it does last a good 4-5hrs before it starts to wear away from the inner parts of my lips. This can also be a little drying so I don't wear it as often as the others. Once it's dried it does transfer, but the transferring is minimal. All in all not a bad lippie.

Red Lip Month: Maybelline SuperStay 24 Color 510 Red Passion

I love long lasting red lips! I love non-transferring colour, being able to eat, drink and chatter away without reapplying my lippie and feeling confident for hours on end. 
 This little beauty is my favourite long-wearing lip colour. You use the coloured wand to apply a thin yet quite opaque layer over your lips, let it dry for 1-2 minutes, then apply the white balm end that gives your lips that just-applied, fresh-as-a-daisy shine that I love so much.
This colour is quite neutral so will wear with both pale and warm skin colours quite well without making your skin look washed out. 
The one thing I must say is that the balm end runs out pretty quickly due to reapplying it frequently, so buying an extra balm is advisable.
It's a great price and currently in the UK there's a 3 for 2 offer in Superdrug so nip on over, see if there's anything you like :P
