Matte Lipstick
Monday, September 2, 2024
After my deep dive into the MAYBELLINE Super Stay Matte Ink Lipstick, which won my heart for its unbeatable staying power, I was curious to see how other brands measure up in the long-wear category. Enter the Flormar Kiss Me More Lip Tattoo—a new contender for the top spot in my makeup bag!
While the MAYBELLINE Super Stay Matte Ink has a velvety, matte finish and an impressive 16-hour wear, the Flormar Kiss Me More Lip Tattoo brings its own set of unique qualities to the table. The standout feature? Its incredibly lightweight feel. Unlike some matte lipsticks that can feel heavy or sticky, the Flormar Lip Tattoo dries down to a smooth, non-drying finish that feels comfortable on the lips, even after hours of wear.
Pigmentation and Application
Flormar’s formula offers intense pigmentation right from the first swipe—similar to the coverage I loved from MAYBELLINE’s line. However, Flormar edges out with its more fluid, easy-to-apply texture that glides on effortlessly. Plus, it comes with a precise applicator that makes achieving clean lines a breeze.
Longevity and Wear
The Kiss Me More Lip Tattoo holds its own in the longevity department, staying vibrant and intact through meals and drinks, with minimal need for touch-ups. It might not have the exact 16-hour staying power claimed by MAYBELLINE, but it still provides a solid all-day wear that can easily last through work or a night out. And, it’s entirely transfer-proof, so no need to worry about those dreaded lipstick marks.
Comfort Factor
One of the highlights of Flormar’s lip tattoo is how comfortable it feels on the lips. The formula manages to deliver a matte finish without sacrificing comfort—a common challenge for long-wear lipsticks. This is particularly great for those who find some long-lasting lipsticks too drying.
For those who loved the MAYBELLINE Super Stay Matte Ink but are looking for something that offers the same long-lasting wear with a lighter, more comfortable feel, the Flormar Kiss Me More Lip Tattoo is definitely worth trying. It’s an excellent alternative for anyone wanting a powerful punch of color that feels soft and weightless on the lips. Plus, with its affordable price point, it’s an easy addition to any lipstick collection.
If you’re a fan of long-lasting lip color, but you want something that feels lighter on the lips, the Flormar Kiss Me More Lip Tattoo is a fantastic option to consider. You might just find yourself switching between this and your MAYBELLINE fave!
I bought this lip tattoo at Watson's SM Davao for only P595, and to make it even better, I got a discount using my SM Advantage Card (SMAC). Great value for a product that promises a lot!

Reviewing lipstick is not something I do often. While I appreciate lipstick, I struggle to review it effectively. I adore lipsticks, and I'm unsure about which type and shade would suit me best.
Truth be told, my beauty pouch is overflowing with lipsticks. I always have it on hand because you never know what might happen. Every now and then, I receive event invitations via email or find myself attending small gatherings where it's important to be well-prepared and look fabulous.
However, all the lipsticks in my pouch are in nude or earthy tones. During photo sessions, I often appear pale, which I really dislike. I don't like dark lipstick but now I'm on the hunt for a matte lipstick that doesn't look messy. I prefer a high-quality lipstick that is affordable. Something vibrant and stunning to admire. And something that has long-lasting power without the need for frequent reapplication.
Finding this product at Watsons brings me so much joy. Upon spotting it in the Maybelline display, I quickly grabbed it without even knowing the exact shade of red. I seem to remember that I found the packaging's color to be captivating. Upon arriving home and preparing to unbox it, I discovered that I received the shade PIONEER.
This Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick in #20 PIONEER provides a matte finish and can last up to 16 hours. This product offers a smudge-free, matte finish with a variety of saturated shades, such as classic reds, nudes, and bold brights. This lipstick offers intense color payoff, stays put without transferring, and comes with a specialized arrow-shaped applicator for accurate application.
The Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick is formulated to be safe for those with sensitivities, as it is free of common allergens and potentially irritating ingredients like gluten, nickel, lanolin, paraben, topical antibiotics, MCI/MI, soy, propylene glycol, oil, and SLS.
- Pros
+Highly pigmented
+Transfer-proof
+Unique arrow applicator
+Flawless matte finish
+Lasts all day
+Softens lips
- Cons
-Some say the color isn't for them
-Some say the texture is sticky
Both the advantages and disadvantages mentioned are accurate. The texture is quite sticky, so I find myself applying lip gloss to counteract it. However, this compromises the matte finish, which is why I opt to leave it as is.
The MAYBELLINE Super Stay Matte Ink Lipstick in PIONEER is a standout choice for anyone seeking a bold, resilient color that truly lasts. This review dives into the features that make PIONEER a must-have in your makeup collection.
Color and Pigmentation
PIONEER is a stunning, rich red shade that exudes confidence and sophistication. Its intense pigmentation means you get full, opaque coverage with just one swipe, providing a vibrant color that sets you apart. The matte finish is striking, yet it retains a luminous quality that keeps your lips looking plush and full.
Longevity
True to its name, Super Stay Matte Ink promises and delivers an impressive lasting power. PIONEER stays put through meals, drinks, and the demands of a busy day, eliminating the need for constant touch-ups. It's the go-to lipstick for long events, ensuring you look your best without any fuss.
Application and Comfort
The unique arrow applicator allows for precise, effortless application, giving you sharp edges and a perfect cupid's bow. The formula glides on smoothly, setting into a comfortable matte that doesn't dry out your lips. Despite its long-wearing formula, it feels lightweight, and you might even forget you're wearing it!
Value
Considering its outstanding quality and performance, this lipstick is a steal. It outperforms many high-end long-lasting lipsticks at a fraction of the price, offering superb value for money. It's a budget-friendly option that doesn’t compromise on quality, making it accessible for everyone who loves a bold, enduring lip color.
Final Thoughts
MAYBELLINE's Super Stay Matte Ink Lipstick in PIONEER is a true gem. Its exceptional longevity, vibrant color, and ease of use make it a top-tier product that stands out in the world of long-lasting lipsticks. Whether you're heading to work, attending a special event, or just want to feel fabulous, PIONEER is a reliable choice that won’t disappoint. Highly recommended for its unbeatable performance and affordability, it's a must-have for any lipstick lover.

When Kris Aquino officially launched her make up line with Ever Bilena, my initial reaction is WHAT!? Why local makeup brand, compare to some of her actress friends collaborate with international makeup company. I don't have negative thoughts regarding local makeup products, but its Kris Aquino she's the "KWEEN".
Anyway, if you are a follower of Kris Aquino (like me) you will see how much she adores makeup aside from shoes and bags.
I am happy to know that she's going to make her own makeup line and I love the fact that she partnered with Ever Bilena (as I have said I'm not against local makeup products). I'm glad she choose #ProudlyFilipinoMade.
Kris proudly showed her first two products that are part of the "KRIS LIFE KIT".
The first one is matte lipsticks that comes in five shades. However, only two shades have been released "LOVE" - Red and "LIFE" - Pink.
The other three shades are coming within the year: "LAUGH", "LUCKY" and "LOYAL".
Product Review of LIFE Matte Matic Lipstick
I love matte lipstick but the problem is it easily dries your lips.
In years past, we may have skipped our matte lipsticks in favor of the shinier and glossier, more balm to use, but thanks to new formulations made possible by Kris Aquino and Ever Bilena, comfortable matte exist and they are here to stay forever!
What I like about LIFE shade is, it is simple and it is an all-occasion lipstick that finishes off with matte yet moisturizing and it has a balmy texture.
I bought LIFE at Robinsons Department Store for PHp245.
This balm's creamy formula of Kris "LIFE" Matte Matic Lipstick deposits just the right amount of matte, pinkish color -- and never accentuates dry patches on our lips. It looks almost natural on fair skin tone.
This new formula combines comfort with innovation, and not to mention the vivid, seriously saturated pigments it gives to your lips.
The posh packaging is a plus for me too! Local brands are really leveling up.
Even without using a lip liner it still looks good and it last for about 4 hours. It only wore off when I ate greasy food (understandable since I've never has a lipstick that is high-end) that withstood greasy food.
I'm so happy I found my perfect pink!
Will try LOVE definitely!
So, if you want an affordable, natural, matte lip colour -- try this product!
