e.l.f Luscious Liquid Lipsticks


I have had these for a while now and have only just got around to reviewing them. I decided to buy them to try them out and I can’t remember why I bought so many. I must have had a mad moment and it’s a good job they are not expensive!
The packaging for these is very simple and you have to twist the tube for the product to dispense out of the flat brush applicator. The tube is also quite thin and not very big, which means it is very travel friendly. You get 1.5g of liquid lipstick in each tube and the formula is slightly sticky like a lipgloss, but it is also smooth like a lipstick. They also smell and taste of mint.
There are eleven shades in total and I purchased six of them. I have Baby Lips, which is a really light champagne pink that is almost clear and has small glitters in it. Pink Lemonade, which is a rosy pink with sparkle. Strawberry, which is a bright juicy red. Cherry Tart, which is a bright cherry red. Ruby Slipper, which is a bright cherry pink with sparkles and Brownie Points, which is a really light nude brown that is almost clear with a little sparkle.

On the e.l.f website the product description is, “Lip therapy is here. Intensive hydrating agents along with natural pigments leave lips with Long-lasting colour and moisture. This luscious liquid lipstick creates wearable colour that flatters a multitude of skin tones and looks.”

I do like the packaging because it is simple and it helps keep the cost down and you can clearly see the colour, I just wish the cap was opaque so that you can’t see how filthy the applicator gets. The formula is also not very sticky, but sticky enough so that the product will last and stay on your lips up to two hours without eating and drinking. If you do however decide to consume food and drink, the product starts wearing away instantly and it won’t take long for every last trace of the product to disappear. I wouldn’t say that this product is very hydrating or moisturising, but because the texture is wet it will offer some sort of moisture to your lips. I am not very keen of the scent or taste because after you have had they for a while, they start to smell like mouldy mint! I just apply the tiniest amount on my lips and blend it in so that there is just a tint of colour because I do not like my lips being sticky, which is the reason why I don’t like and never wear lipgloss!

The shades are very wearable and there is a colour for everyone but, Baby Lips and Brownie Points look very shear on my lips and the shades Cherry Tart and Ruby Slipper look like they are exactly the same colour on my lips. Out of the six I have Strawberry and Pink Lemonade are the best. You can tell what colour they are when they are on your lips and they are more pigmented that the others too.

Overall I think these are just basic lipglosses which are not as sticky, but nothing really special and let’s face it, they are glorified lipglosses, but for £1.50 you get what you pay for. I probably wouldn’t purchase another one because I barely use the ones I have, plus I am more into my balm stains and regular lipsticks.

Serial Sampler #17

I chose this sample as my free gift with purchase and I hadn’t heard of the brand before. It happens to be part of a series of four fragrances and they are all unisex/genderless. The designs of the full sized bottles are very interesting and artsy. Looking at the four, had I been able to pick which one to receive, I most likely would have chosen the one called 10am Flirt as it seems the fruitiest based of the four. The sample I have is Santal Sky by KIERIN NYC and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. “Intertwined like vines, we stroll through Central Park. Leaves release their woody fragrance. Under a canopy of trees, in the center of it all, we are a million miles from city life. Music from impromptu drum circles, the rhythm of runners’ footsteps, diverse languages fill my ears like poetry. This retreat into nature refreshes my soul. The sun smiling down upon us, I pull my loved one close. In synchronicity we breathe.” It contains a mixture notes, such ...

Perfume Power! - Harajuku Lovers 'G'

I received this perfume as an Easter gift from a family member. The bottle design is really cute. It has a doll figure cap, which lifts off and the actual bottle is clear and simple glass, it kind of has a flower shaped base. The size I have is very small, so it is handy for your handbag. And I suppose you could keep the doll for collector’s purposes, when you have used up the perfume. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Crisp Mandarin, Fresh Coconut & Apple Skin Middle Notes: Jasmine Sambac, Soft Freesia & Magnolia Vapour Base Notes: Coconut Cream, White Sandalwood & Cottonwoods To me it smells really strong for an eau de toilette. I quite like the scent because it is very feminine and quite sweet. The only thing I don’t like about it is the coconut. I don’t really like the coconut scent anyway. Other than that, it smells amazing, until the coconut hits your nose. I can also smell the floral side to it as well, the coconut does complement the flor...
