My Innermost Thoughts While Attempting a Lip Combo

In Partnership with Maybelline New York

I was not raised to be a makeup girlie. I somehow missed the stage of adolescence where my peers were honing their skills via online tutorials. So, when it comes to any makeup maneuver more complicated than a simple swipe of gloss, I am filled with self doubt. Nevertheless, for the sake of girlhood and journalism, I made the vulnerable choice to wear a lip combo to work today. And Maybelline Super Stay Peel-Off Lip Liner in the shade Haze delivered

The TL;DR: Maybelline New York Super Stay Peel-Off Lip Liner is the best nude lip liner, from the drugstore and beyond. Its hydrating and long-lasting formula left a natural finish that allowed for buildable coverage with my favorite Maybelline gloss. It’s safe to say that with its 24 hour tattoo-like wear and easy peel-off formula, this peel off lipstain is a must have for the lip combo curious and makeup mavens alike.

My Day with Super Stay Peel-Off Liner:

8:05 AM: Ok, here goes nothing. Maybe I should have watched several hours of TikToks about how to apply lip liner? I have to leave in 20 minutes so no time for that

8:07 AM: It says make sure lips are completely clean and dry, I guess I’ll brush my teeth first?

8:10 AM: Ok it’s happening. I’m drawing along my lip line. Oh god it looks dark! Trust the process… trust the process.

8:11 AM: And then I just let it sit for five minutes? Taking that as an excuse to let myself sit for five minutes.

8:16 AM: My lips look like a snake shedding its skin in a way that I absolutely am obsessed with. Time for the peel!

Wow that was oddly satisfying.

8:18: Oh I guess I should put something else on besides the Super Stay Peel-Off Liner…this Lifter Gel Lip Oil should work.

8:20 Last looks before I head out the door…. it just sort of looks like my lips but plumper and more defined.

9:06 AM: Not even in the door 2 minutes and I got my first compliment! Maybe the girlies are onto something with this lip combo thing

10:00 AM: Now the real test, coffee. So far no smudging, nothing on the mug.

11:25 AM: A quick gloss reapply before my next meeting but this Super Stay Peel Off-Liner is not budging. But my lips still feel so moisturized.

1:15 PM: My liner is still intact even after my desk salad!? I may have to go out next time I wear this so I can really show it off

3:15 PM: Is it too late for another coffee? Not sure my nervous system will be able to handle it but at least my long lasting lip liner will!

4:05 PM: Crap I forgot I have a first date tonight and I don’t have time to go home and change. Peel-Off Liner is still going strong.

4:35 PM: I should be paying attention to this call but I simply can’t stop staring at my own square.

6:37 PM: Ok where is he? Being late is such a red flag.

7:05 PM: This date would have been better if he ghosted me, maybe I’ll say I have to go the bathroom and just stand there for awhile.

7:07 PM: Ok i reapplied my gloss but my flawless nude lip liner is still intact. I’m not ready to go back to my table…let me call my mom and see what she’s up to.

7:15 PM: Shoot he left! Guess I have to go home, order Thai food, and catch up on my shows. Maybe I’ll stop by the drugstore on the way to grab another shade of this Peel-Off Liner…

10:40 PM: My Peel-Off Liner lasted through my whole work day, a failed first date, and entire serving of Pad Thai, AND cheering for the celebs ballroom dancing on my tv screen. I think I’m officially a lip combo girl now.

The verdict is in: Maybelline New York Super Stay Peel-Off Lip Liner’s hassle-free formula makes it the best lip liner stain out there. The precision applicator makes lining foolproof, and after just 5 minutes of setting time, it peels off seamlessly to reveal a natural lip blush effect with stunning definition. And with five gorgeous shades from neutral nude to bold red, this peel-off liner is a must-grab on your next trip to the drugstore.
