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.

Price - £1.50     Rating - 3/5

Oden's Eye Solmåne Eyeshadow Palette

I first heard of this indie brand through watching Angelika Oles’ beauty channel on YouTube. Oden’s Eye is a Swedish indie brand and they make Norse mythology themed products. This is one of two eyeshadow palettes I decided to purchase; I also picked up the two matching highlighter palettes.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is small and rectangular in shape. It is made out of cardboard and it has a sort of textured covering (like on pogs). The design and imagery is so unique to the brand. Solmåne means the sun and moon in Swedish. Sol represents the Sun Goddess and Måne represents the Moon God. Both Gods are represented on the packaging. There is a colour split of warm and cool toned shades (lavender, pink, orange & yellow) along with moon, star and Norse symbols. The wheel around the Gods is metallic gold, so it really reflects the light when you move the palette around. The eyeshadow shade names are printed on the back of the palette. The palette has a magnetic closing/opening, ...

My Favourite TV Series

I have already shared with you some current favourite songs and my favourite films. I thought it was now time to mention my favourite TV series. Here are my top ten favourite TV series:-   Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003) This series is about a teenager who becomes the next vampire slayer. Only one slayer is born into every generation and one has to die for another to be activated. It is a kind of coming of age story and I love strong female characters. I also just loved the fight scenes. I was only four when this series first came out, so I did miss a few seasons at first. About five years ago, I did re-watch all seven seasons. I was sad it ended, but there are only so many monsters you can introduce and slay before it gets monotonous! It did watch the spin-off show Angel, but it didn’t have the same magic and feel to it for me.   Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999-) I am quite partial to a crime drama and it all started with CSI: Miami. I watched all of the Amer...

Review: Travalo Classic

I was sorting through some old pictures in my blog folder on my computer and I came across some Travalo pictures I took, and remembered I was mean’t to do a post about it. So better late than never, I am going to share with you how to use it and what I think. About the Travalo The Travalo is a small and handy perfume atomiser that allows you to decant a small amount of your favourite perfume into the tube and carry it with you, so you don’t have to carry around the bottle. It is made of strong, light aluminium and is 80mm in size and holds 4ml of liquid, which is approximately fifty sprays. It is also a “perfectly” rounded shape, which means there are no corners, so you don’t have to worry about it ripping your handbag, purse and pockets or scratching any furniture and surfaces. How to Use It If you want to decant some perfume to put in the Travalo you need to: 1. Take the spray cap off the perfume bottle 2. Get your Travalo and hold it upright over the spray s...
