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.

My Eye Primers: The Verdict!

It has taken me a long time to put this altogether, but I have finally done it! I decided I wanted to share my thoughts on eye primers I had tried and it turned out that I had ten, so I thought I would test them and find out which one worked best for me. I have split them into two categories (High End/Low End) and I aim to rank them from #1 to #10 on which is the longest wearing. Let’s look at the primers I will be testing. HIGH END URBAN DECAY PRIMER POTION PRICE: £17.50 SIZE: 10ml SHADES: Original, Anti-ageing, Freebase, Eden, Fix, Minor Sin, Sin and Caffeine APPLICATION: Squeeze tube without a nozzle, but also has a sponge stick applicator PROMISES: Non-creasing, gives you vibrant eyeshadows WHERE TO BUY: UrbanDecay.co.uk (UK) & Sephora (USA) I like to think that this primer is my favourite as I love the packaging (purple is my favourite colour). It is potion bottle inspired and it is the first primer I remember ever seeing and wanting. The packa...

Perfume Power! - Next 'Paradise'

I first smelt this perfume after receiving it in a mini gift set about ten years ago and I have loved it ever since. This 100ml size is my first bottle of it though, other than the tester/sample size. The bottle is quite tall and it is a sort of clutch bag shape if you turn it on its side. The bottle is a simple design and you can easily see how much perfume you have. On mine the spray pump sometimes gets stuck in the band around the neck of the bottle, but the problem is easily solved. I can’t find a specific note list anywhere for this perfume, but on Next’s site it is described as, "a light fruity fragrance with white florals and green notes". To me it smells really fruity and fresh. It is also multifunctional because it is quite strong and sexy, so perfect for a night out, but it is also not too overpowering and smells fresh and fruity enough for day time wear. It is actually an eau de toilette, which means that it is less concentrated, but I find that it is st...
