Maybelline Superstay 10 HR Stain Gloss

Okay... let me just start by saying I was a little unpleased with this stain/gloss. Maybe I should have done my "color swatching" homework first before I bought this item today!

I thought I was going to be so happy with my "Pink Plush" stain gloss (#100). I love "pinks"!! Well, I got home couldn't wait to try it. Opened it up and put it on... it's not PINK!!! It's a more of a red color or really deep pink! Red doesn't look good on me, I really try to steer clear of reds for lip colors on myself. So I am thinking to myself... did this get labeled wrong or something??? It didn't match the color swatch that was with it in the store either! It's just not what I was hoping for!

So, get on Maybelline's website, find the Superstay 10 HR Stain Gloss and look at the color chart. HOLY MOLY!!! Some of these names don't even match their colors! My color Pink Plush matches the swatch they have for it which is a reddish color. Maybe it's a deep pink, but it isn't the pink I was looking for. :(

Get this.... Refreshing Red (#130) is more the color pink I am want! What the heck??? Am I missing something here? Is the joke on me??? I don't get it. 

Anyway, needless to say I am stuck with this lip stain... I liked the way it went on, but I didn't leave it on long enough to sample the wearing time to see if it was really 10 HR. Maybe I will find the "Refreshing Red". But, first... I think I will look for swatches on You Tube!! :)
