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.

L'ORÉAL Volume Million Lashes So Couture Mascara

I bought this mascara and while ago with the intentions of reviewing it, but I only wear mascara when I wear eyeshadow, which is not very often these days. It has taken me a while to get around to trying out this mascara. The packaging is made of purple and gold plastic and it has a sort of tapered oval shape. The brush is small and made of rubber. It has longer bristles towards the bottom and shorter bristles at the top. The formula is creamy and kind of thick, but it does feel lightweight on your lashes. You get 9.5ml of product in the tube and the shade is Noir/Black. You can buy it for £10.99 from places such as Boots (UK), Superdrug (UK) and Ulta (USA). It is supposed to give your lashes definition and volume without making them clumpy or feeling stiff. The couture brush should coat every lash without clumps and it has small soft bristles, which should reach each lash and evenly spread the mascara. There’s nothing special about the packaging it is just a nice masc...

Haul: Small Unmentioned Purchases

For today’s post I am going to share with you a few products that I have recently purchased and have not mentioned. I actually purchased one of the products last year but I thought I would include it anyway because I have not mentioned it before. The product I bought last year was from Asda and it is the Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 HR Cream/Gel Eyeshadow in Pink Gold . I bought it for £4.99 and I got it because I thought it was limited edition but as it turned out it is actually permanent. It is a gorgeous colour! Now for the products I have bought recently this year. The Urban Decay Oz: The Great and Powerful Theodora Palette  for £35 from BeautyBay.com. I have used this palette a few times and I really like it. From Superdrug I picked up a Maybelline theROCKET Volum’Express Mascara  in the shade Black because I was interested in trying it and I got it for £5.99 because it had a £2 off offer. From Home Bargains I picked up another can of the TRESemmé Extra Hold...
