This lip colour was my first experience delving into the elf world and it's making me want more! I had heard so many great things about elf, so I was really excited to try this.
I have the colour 'Rich Red' a lovely, deep and stand-out beautiful red. I think it's the perfect red colour, when you want to have lips that really give you the wow factor.
The packaging is black and simple, very understated but still great for such an affordable product. It looks rather like a thick pencil and I was intrigued to apply this.
The formula is nice and glides over your lips. You have to be careful and have a steady hand with application. The formula is very pigmented, which is great. I always apply lip balm over this as well, as being matte it can dry out your lips.
The lip colour looks fantastic for a couple of hours. I do tend to get very dry lips, and after a little while the formula can slightly crack on my lips and my lips really lack hydration.
So, overall this is a beautiful pigmented lip colour, but not very moisturising to your lips.
Trying this lip colour has ignited a passion for elf products, and I can't wait to get some more from iherb and try them out.
I have two, in Tea Rose and in Rich Red. This is a fabulous lipstick, very pigmented and lasts sooo long! I applied two coats of this lipstick in Tea Rose in the morning and it lasted me well into the night. I love the packaging, it makes it very easy to use and the only down side to it is that it isn't hydrating at all. Rather the opposite. Despite this I would still buy it again as it is such a lovely product.
Tips: As it is a matte lipstick and can be very drying, wear a hydrating lip balm or lip gloss with it to prevent cracking or drying out your lips too much.
