Lipsticks: e.l.f Essential Lipsticks Review

By -
You definitely get what you pay for when it comes to the packaging. They resemble little girl's toy lipsticks and they feel just as flimsy. I was fortunate not to have any of the packaging or lipsticks break on me, but I have read a lot of stories where they did for others. 

However, the lipsticks themselves are surprisingly nice!
They are nowhere near the quality of a high-end lipstick, but for the price, they are decent.

Eyeslipsface claims that "these are a long-lasting color and shine lipsticks. They are also rich in moisture that hydrates, conditions, and softens the lips."


First off, they are moisturizing! My lips feel great when I have these lipsticks on. The texture of these  lip products are smooth and slick. They are not very long-lasting though. I had to reapply every two or so hours, or the color will look patchy and a bit faded. These lipsticks also apply a bit sheer but are build able to a nice opaque color, and they smell like starburst. These lipsticks do leave behind a slight stain on the lips which is nice if you don't want to reapply the lipstick and would rather apply a lip balm instead, at least your lips still has a nice color left over from the lipstick. 

There are 8 different colors available. Of the 8, I have two (Seduction, Sociable) and one discontinued color (Voodoo), and these are all $1.00 each. They can be found at drugstores and the e.l.f website (unfortunately, Eyeslipsface only ships in the States and Canada at the moment.)





Seduction is a Petal Nude Color.









Sociable is a Bright Pink. The most pigmented of the three.








Voodoo is a pretty Berry Nude. I wish they haven't discontinued this because I can see this color looking great for all skin tones.






These lipsticks are nice and affordable. They are a great source to try out colors you wouldn't have thought about buying. They are moisturizing with decent pigmentation. What more can you ask for in a $1.00 lipstick? 

Have you tried out these lipsticks yet? If so, what are your thoughts about them?
Happy Wandering! Alice

Hi everyone! Today, I have another Holiday Collection to share with you all, and this time, it's all about Smashbox Cosmetics! Smashbox's Drawn In. Decked Out. Holiday Collection is one of the best holiday sets that has come out this year in terms of being able to try out permanent products from the brand without the bulky, over-extravagant packaging. The artwork on the packaging is done by Aritst Ann Strumpf, and each set comes with stickers displaying her artwork as well. From the collection, I picked out two that interested me the most, the Shadow + Highlight Palette Set and Be Legendary Lipstick & Lip Mattifier Set.
