I placed my very first elf order a few days ago and my little parcel arrived within two days - very impressive! However, I'm not too impressed with some of the products, but I'll give you seperate reviews on everything I ordered (gel eyeliner, brushes, smokey eyes palette..). For now, I'll show you the two lipsticks I bought...
'Gypsy' is part of their normal lipstick range which retails at £1.50 - I didn't really have high hopes for this one as it's so cheap, it is however quite a nice lipstick for this price! It's a lovely deep pink shade, nicely pigmented but it does feel and look a bit drying on my lips.. A little slick of lipgloss or balm should resolve this problem though. The only thing I really dislike about this product is the packaging - it feels so cheap and wonky, but what can you expect for that amount of money? All in all, I think this is quite a good product considering the price, and the colour is lovely indeed - might have a look at the other shades next time I order from elf!
I also purchased 'Tea Rose' from their Studio Matte Lip Colour range. It was on offer for £2.45 instead of £3.50 so I thought I could give it a try - I'm quite disappointed with it though. I know that matte lipsticks can feel a little bit drying on the lips but this one is a real nightmare! I couldn't stand how incredibly dry it made my lips feel and it looked terrible too, a bit like using chalk as a lipstick... I do like the dusky pink shade I picked but it's just not for me. I have very pigmented lips and this shade is simply too cool and light for me - it washes me out a lot and makes me look ill. Unfortunately, this lipstick was an absolute waste of money for me..
Have you tried any of elf's lipsticks? Which ones can your recommend? xx
