SuperStay24h Lipstick by Maybelline NY
A few months ago I decided to buy the SuperStay24h Lipstick by Maybelline because I always have to reply my lipsticks after 30 minutes and to be honest with you, most of the time I just don't bother to re-apply. Specially in my line of work I never had time or a mirror.
This seemed like a dream come true.
And. It. Is! This really does work!
You get a lip gloss/lip tint like applicator with which you apply the lipstick. It covers like a lipstick, not a lip gloss. You should try not to get the brush to wet, rather put two layers and let dry in between coats. Then after about a minute you do the second step, the lip gloss that comes on the other size of the tube.
You smack your lips together and you are all set. For Hours! After 6 hours of wear, it still sits in place perfectly even though you might have to re-apply the lip gloss a few times. Eating and drinking is no problem for this lipstick. If you don't eat anything too oily it stays in place and won't leave stains on glasses either.

Tips to look more feminine.
1. Wear Clothes that Fit
Sounds easy enough! The way to look more feminine is to wear clothes that fit! Don’t get the wrong idea though; you don’t have to go super tight in order to achieve a more feminine silhouette. The key is wear clothes that aren’t so loose that your frame is lost in all the fabric while subtly accentuating your shape. If you have extra money and have some clothing that you love but they just don’t fit your body right, consider getting them tailored. It’s not often that someone buys something off the rack that happens to fit like a glove!
2. WEAR Pretty JEWELRY
A simple tip to look more girly is to put on some jewelry! Think of delicate bracelets or drop or girly stud earrings to dress up casual looks. You can easily get some cute and on-trend pieces from discount stores to pair with everyday looks that can transform even the plainest outfit. Look for pieces that catch your eye or you might even consider enrolling in a monthly service like JewelMint where you create a style profile and you get personalized jewelry choices each month so picking out your jewels is that much easier!
3.WEAR BRIGHT COLOURS
Integrating bright colors into your wardrobe is another painless way to look feminine. Embrace color and try out brightly colored shoes, bottoms, tops, or bags. Even if you hate pink or red, there are still many other bright colors that are fashionable and feminine. For fall, try out jewel tones like amethyst or emerald and you might even find that you can rock red or pink ruby tones since they aren’t the classic bright red or pinks you’re opposed to!
4.PERFUME
I know this post is about ways to look more feminine but wearing a flirty fragrance can make you feel that much more womanly and confident! Think about finding a signature fragrance that makes you feel girly yet sexy every time you wear it. Once you find a signature fragrance and incorporate some feminine accents to your look, you’ll not only look like a bombshell but feel like one too!
5.THE PERFECT SHOES
I can’t forget about footwear on this list of ways to look more feminine. Think about it, you can wear ruffles, pearls and florals but if you’re pairing it all with Crocs or worn out Chucks, they sort of cancel out all your hard work! There are times when mixing girly and edgy elements work beautifully,but if you don’t get it right you can end up looking frumpy and mismatched! Look for ballerina flats, chic Oxfords, colored or embellished pumps or riding boots to complete your look.
6. STYLE YOUR HAIR
Styling your hair can be one of the more time-consuming yet simple tips to look more girly. Styling your hair doesn’t require spending a lot of money, just some time and patience to experiment. Curls and waves are the quintessential hairstyle of romantics so they’re both a great way to go. If you like a little less fuss, how about coloring your hair or using some cute, age-appropriate hair accessories to amp up straight strands?
7.LINGERIE
Part of wearing more fitted clothes and another way to look more feminine involves wearing softer and effeminate underthings. Wearing bulky sports bras or sporting major VPL are not cute and definitely not feminine. If you wear
fitted tops or sheer fabrics, make sure you’re wearing a bra that goes with the overall look. The last thing you want is to wear a bulky bra or panties that’ll steal the show from your beautiful shape!
8.THE PERFECT BAG
Just like adding pieces of jewelry is one of the simple tips to look more girly, a nice handbag can also do wonders! Just like fitted pieces of clothing are flattering, structured and slim handbags are a great accessory. If you like bigger slouchy bags make sure you balance it out with your clothing to avoid looking frumpy. Look for bags with great color, good quality fabrics and fun accents.
9. GIRLIE SPRINKLES
Look feminine by adding some flirtatious whimsy with girly accents like bows, flowers, lace, glitter, pearls or sequins. None of these embellishments have to over-the-top or pointedly obvious, you can add a little girlish touch in the most subtle ways! Try securing your braid or ponytail with a small ribbon, add a little shimmer to your makeup, tie a printed scarf on your purse or wear some glitter nail polish.
There are tons of simple ways to look more feminine and it doesn’t have to involve foofy skirts, wearing a tiara or ball gowns.The most important thing is that you stay true to your personal taste and wear what you’re comfortable in. Don’t force huge changes on yourself and please don’t change for someone else, do what you love in life and fashion!
10. Make up & Nails
Make up can make you feel more confident and you honestly don't need much. Mascara and a lip gloss is really all you need if you are not big on the make up during the day. It just instantly lifts your face and make you look fresher and awake. Who doesn't want that. As for nails, a simple light pink or even a clear varnish can give you just the right touch of girliness. You can paint them yourself or get them done at a salon to make you feel extra special.
