Hey guys! I wanted to share some pics and my thoughts on ELF's Moisturizing Lipsticks.
They retail for $3 on the ELF site!
I've had them for about a month.
I picked up: 'Red Carpet', 'Velvet Rope', 'Ravishing Rose', and 'Coral Cutie' !
On the packaging they originally come in, it says:
"The velvet, satin texture glides on lips with vibrant color and luminous shine."
I would agree with this. They are creamy and really opaque, and leave your lips with a nice shine. However, I noticed that 'Ravishing Rose' is more matte and less shiny. Compared to the others, it does not leave my lips feeling as moisturized. I say 'as moistuized' because these lipsticks do leave your lips feeling nice and plump. They feel nice and comfortable! I was really surprised and pleased because my lips seem to always be dry, especially during these cooler days.
They are so nice and creamy! I can't stress that enough. They apply nicely and consistently, not patchy at all.
They are also supposed to be 'long-lasting'. I agree completely. However, if you plan to spend 12-hours out (like me on the weekdays at school) you will need to reapply. If you don't, you'll have a nice stain! It's lovely!
Going back to 'Ravishing Rose', I love this color. It's my favorite of the bunch and I find myself wearing it the most. It's such a beautiful color and if you like berry-rosey lipies you won't be disappointed. Having said that, this one is more like a regular lipstick. It's not as moisturizing. It's definitely not uncomfortable to wear but I just thought I'd mention it.
SCENT: They have a subtle vanilla aroma. I like it a lot!
Overall I am very very please, and wish my Target sold more ELF products so I didn't have to order them online. Also, ELF when are you planning of setting up a store in California? Please make my wish come true!
Definitely small enough to fit in your bag for travel. They come in a square tub, rather than your traditional round one. I think it's really different and nice. It also looks very chic and expensive!

SURPRISE Product.
ELF's $1 Lipstick in 'sociable'.
HAHA! *Insert evil genius laugh!*
I also picked this guy up along with the other lipies! I honestly haven't worn it yet, but I thought it'd be fun to share some swatches!
So far I can tell it's very opaque, but unlike the Moisturizing range this lipstick has tiny speaks of silver!
Usually I stay away from glittery or frosty lipsticks but I couldn't tell on the site. Also, it's really not as annoying as other lipsticks that have glitter. It's very minimal. (As far as I can tell).

Hope this was helpful or fun to read. I don't like making my reviews too long! I like to get right to the point, hope that's ok! Leave me feedback or just say Hi, if you'd like!
Lots of Love,
Camila
***Diclaimer: I bought these with my own money. However, if ELF sent me some stuff I wouldn't complain.
