Maybelline Super Stay 24 Lip Color Review
Lipstick is a girls best friend (OK maybe second to champagne). It can transform any look in just seconds! When we were younger we shied away from them because they seemed like an "old person" beauty essential, but now we realized how amazing they are (our grandmas were smart)! The only problem we continually run into with lipstick is having to reapply it after eating, drinking, and basically breathing. Lipstick just hasn't ever held up to our standards, until now.
Let us introduce you to Maybelline Super Stay 24. Although it isn't in the standard lipstick tube, it truly is a lipstick in color and look. We were skeptical when we first bought the shade Always Blazing lip color but we were soon amazed by its performance. Simply apply the color to your lips as you would a lipgloss, let it dry (2-4 minutes) and then apply the moisturizing balm on top. We love the ultra-conditioning balm because it keeps your lips moisturized and happy. On an average day we only apply it once in the morning before work and by dinner it's still on and as good as when we first applied it. We wear Maybelline Super Stay 24 to almost every wine event we go to because we seriously don't need to reapply even if it's a 4 hour party with food and LOTS of vino. For the days we wear it from dawn to dusk though we will only reapply one time after dinner if needed (by reapply, we mean just a small touch up). Maybelline was not kidding when they said it feels just-applied after eating 300 cupcake bites, 120 coffee sips, and 99 kisses. The only bummer is most of the colors have an added shimmer (sometimes nice but we are more into matte lips). We have found three that are matte and mentioned them in our color review below.

Colors we have tested:
Perpetual Plum- The color is pretty similar to the online photo, however the shimmer does not show up as intensely once applied. This color ended up being the most popular in our family, we both have one and we bought our Mom one too. It's the perfect color to accentuate your lips without making it look like you tried too hard.
Keep It Red- This is Ivy's favorite of them all. Unlike the photo online it is a bright red color and has no sparkle to it at all. If Ivy is wearing red lipstick in our style posts its most likely this color. See here, here, here, and here and the photo below.
Keep Up The Flame- This is also a very red lipstick. It is a little richer (darker red) in color then always blazing and also is matte looking. Perfect for fall and winter looks or a night out! This is Eve's go-to red lip.
Constant Toast- This color goes on much more translucent then we expected. We thought our lips were going to look like the ice princess lips, but the color was very light pink with quite a bit of shimmer. Although the color was fine on us (our skin is so pale!) we wouldn't recommend this for tanner people it may actually make you look like the ice princess, if your into that totes get it!
On And On Orchid- We like this color because it's a bubble gum pink perfect to wear everyday, and it is also matte not shimmery at all.

With the right lipstick you can conquer anything!

A Trip to The Pumpkin Patch
Outfit Details:
Plaid Shirt Target | Jeans Uniqlo | Vest Le Tote | Chelsea Boots ASOS | Cascade Earrings Kate Spade | Clutch Imoshion
Visiting a pumpkin patch in October is one of our favorite things to do. One of our favorite places to visit is Earthbound Farm's Farm Stand which has pumpkins in every color, shape, and size imaginable! We like visiting this market and cafe all year round, but we love it during the fall when they fill the grounds with pretty pumpkins, corn stalks, and other autumnal decorations. Ivy wore a warm quilted vest, and plaid shirt for this trip. She paired it with this super cute clutch from one of our new favorite brands, Imoshion. We love this brand because we are big animal lovers and Imoshion only features vegan leather bags. Although its not real leather its almost identical in look and feel! We also love that all their bags have pretty fabric lining and tons of pockets to stash our lipsitck, glasses, and other goodies. Did we mention that all of their bags are less than $50?!?! Definitely keep this brand on your radar! Previously, we have shared some of their other great bags here, and here, and here.

Stripes in The Vines
Outfit Details:
Dress CeCe | Shoes Prabal Gurung for Target (sold out similar here and here) | Bracelet BCBCGENERATION Le Tote | Lipstick Maybelline Superstay 24 in Always Blazing
This past weekend Ivy attended her friend Casey Frazier's new album "American Exotic" release party at Folktale Winery & Vineyard. This was an evening event pouring Folktale wines with a cart set up for all-you-can-eat tacos! Ivy wore this cute black and white striped dress and paired it with cherry red heels and red lips. The dress has small cutouts on the sides giving this classic look a twist.
Ivy paired her outfit with one of her favorite red lipsticks from Maybelline's line, Superstay 24. Superstay 24 are our go-to lipsticks for events, especially ones where we will be eating and drinking a lot. First apply the liquid lipstick color and let it dry for 2 minutes. Then apply the moisturizing balm and you're good to go! It does't come off on wine glasses and you don't have to check the mirror every 5 minutes to reapply. Plus they have so many amazing colors!
The music was great and the weather couldn't have been better. To preview/purchase some of Casey's music click here. American Exotic will be available soon!

Korean Beauty: Lip Tattoos, yes you heard us right...
While perusing the universe of Amazon, Eve saw lip tints which claim to last for 12 hours! Naturally, we had to test them out. Oops My Lip Tint Pack by Berrisom are "lip tattoos" or insanely long lasting lip stains. Made in Korea and recommended by pretty much all Korean beauty bloggers and K-Pop stars, they come in candy colored tubes and adorable packaging. Available in 9 colors, the multi-pack features the 6 most popular colors, (Berrisom also makes awesome animal shaped sheet masks which are on our must try list). The lip stains arrived on Easter when all of our family was visiting so we decided to get our cousins J, S, and B in on the testing fun!
The packaging is in Korean so we had to look up the directions online. We googled directions written in English and basically got the same directions everywhere...
Apply a thick layer evenly onto your dry, bare lips. (be precise as you cant really make any changes once its on)
Wait about 10 minutes, until the lip tint is dry. The edges may start to peel on their own.
Slowly peel off the lip tint. This will look really creepy. lol.
You now have a fabulous lip color that will last all day!
We were skeptical that these colors would be anything we could use daily, but they come out much more subtle than the tubes or gel suggests. Some of them smell a bit weird, and our cousin J thought the "Virgin Red" stung her lips a little when she applied it.
Overall, we thought these were awesome!
Once applied and peeled, the lip color is literally weightless and didn't leave your lips feeling dry, sticky, or any of the other undesirable qualities that go along with most long lasting lip colors.
Eve's favorite colors are "Virgin Red", and "Pure Pink", and Ivy's are "Vivid Scarlet", and "Sexy Red". The five of us have different coloring and style, but we all found a color we would wear on the regular.
If you want to dive into the world of Korean beauty sensations, heres the link!
If you have tried Oops My Lip Tints or any other weird and wonderful beauty product let us know! We're always up for testing out new products.
