e.l.f Hypershine Lip Gloss Review

I found these so sticky! If you're okay that then go for these because they're super affordable :) But for me, it drove me insane. Also, they are not very good regarding pigmentation. If you're just looking for a simple glossy look I would recommend these <3

Hypershine lip gloss is one of those sticky lippys that if you walk into the slightest breeze, that one little hair will stick to it and ruin your gorgeous pout you were just rocking in the new selfie you took for facebook and possibly instagram!

It gives you the nice hypershine it promises but personally I'd prefer to look elsewhere for some hypershine lips that isn't sticky.

I would recommend it to people who don't mind those feels and love having a shine or sheen to their smile but I wouldn't wear it again.

I remember receiving one of these ELF lip glosses from my dad when he came back from Australia and brought me a bulk lot of ELF items. I remember the twist function on mine was awful, you had to twist it heaps to get any product and then it all comes out at once. It was an awful, cheap and sticky gloss that felt very tacky when worn on the lips. It did have a nice scent to it though.

I had heard that these were a great dupe for Stila's Lip Glazes. I haven't tried those so I can't comment on how the actual product compares, but the packaging is definitely similar. I have these in the colours 'Fairy', 'Vixen' and 'Bubblegum'.

The applicator is a little brush which I am not a massive fan of - I feel it is slightly unhygienic even though I have no evidence to support this. You twist the bottom of the pen up and the product comes up through the brush. I don't like this at all because it is difficult to see how much product you have and it is easy to get too much and make a mess and/or waste product.

These have a very slight pigmentation - more like a hint of colour. They do feel quite sticky and gooey on your lips so I wouldn't recommend them if you dislike sticky glosses.

They give your lips a nice shine and hint of colour, so if you are looking for something subtle and shiny then this might be something you're interested in. I haven't tried these over lipstick but if you wanted a shiny lipstick then these would work well for that.

These don't last that long on my lips (maybe half an hour or so), and do tend to dry my lips out a bit so that is something to be aware of.

Overall I wasn't impressed with these and - despite the cheap price, they aren't something I would repurchase although I will use them as I hate wasting product.

The packaging looks pretty, it smells nice, there is no sickly sweet aftertaste, it is very easy to apply, and it looks beautiful and shiny on my lips. The downside - it is very sticky, the colour is not very bright, it doesn't last that long, and it dries my lips a little bit. BUT in saying that, for the price that it is, I recommend it. They are cute, and great on your no/low makeup days, cheap, and easy to chuck into your bag. But don't expect a whole lot from this product..

It's such a shame that this lip gloss is such a flop, it could be a smash hit at e.l.f price points! But it's just so sticky, it's difficult to get past that, and the packaging is infuriating - I bought 3 lip glosses and two broke beyond repair - one straight out of the packet, and the other after one application, the whole twist bottom came off and it cant be repaired, leaving the lip gloss stuck in the tube. A simple squeeze tube would be so much better, and I would assume cheaper to manufacture, leaving more money to invest in nicer ingredients for the gloss itself? Just seems really poorly thought out, and a very disappointing product.

I'm sorry but if I am wearing gloss I don't want it to me a magnet for my hair! I have long hair which I wear out, and living in the windy city, I can not tolerate overly-sticky gloss.
