e.l.f Matte Lip Colour Review

I have this in the colour natural, which is a really nice nude colour, but personally I don't like light/true nudes on my lips. I prefer something like a dark nude or a more pinky nude, and this is quite light.

I don't know what the description is going on about moisturising and hydrating lips, because this dries my lips out pretty bad (I do have naturally dry lips though). This really accentuates the dryness and lines in my lips, but it doesn't flake off or crack or anything, so that's a good point.

I like that it is kind of a cross between a regular lip colour and a lip pencil, with the pencil-like tip. Makes it pretty easy to apply nicely and I usually don't bother with a lip liner. I think this is one of these put-on-and-go colours that doesn't require much hassle (unless you have dry lips like me).

I have this in rich red and I think it's such a bargain! The color is an awesome bold red that would go really well with a fancy date or hollywood themed event. I like that it's in a twisty pen form as it's thinner than a lipstick but thicker than a lip liner. It's also convenient that rather than having to sharpen this I can just twist it up. Its formula and pigmentation reminds me of the maybelline essential red lip pencil. It glides on super smooth and doesn't feel clumpy or dragging. The lasting power isn't that great and after drinking from a mug I'd have an imprint left on it. Aside from that though this is awesome. Goes really well under lip gloss too I've been using it to line and shade my lips then applying clear gloss over top. This is definitely a favourite from ELF.

A workmate of mine gave me a lot of e.l.f lip products, and the matte lip colour in praline being my favourite. What i love about this product is that it is long lasting and has a beautiful matte finish. I found myself only touching up once or twice at work where i talk to customers the whole time and eat and drink regurlarly which is amazing because other products i have to re apply a lot. I personally adore dark colours so i would apply two layers but if you want that browny-nudey look, than its perfect! What i didnt like was that i went through the product in very short months and also you must moisturise and for very dry lips to use a lip scrub before because with most matte products, after a few hours it can dry out. But this product is creamy and never gives a cakey look. over all i love it and its a must-have.

I purchased online on iherb but I purchased the red color, the package wasnt very eye catching but it was affordable, when I first applied it on, it was smooth I didnt have trouble with it what so ever and didnt have to re-appy untill after 3pm, I first applied at 6am. I continue to wear this even today :)

Not the best lippy in the world but for the price its great. Really easy to apply and nice and pigmented. Would absolutely use it again. Really nice and creamy and feels nice on the lips!

I purchased this off Iherb in the colour tea rose after reading rave reviews of it online. Although it is by no means my usual colour choice I absolutely freaking love it! The finish is very matte and the colour pay off is awesome. It also lasts very well and I didn't experience any problems with colour bleed or smearing.

The packaging is a tad crappy and I do prefer a bullet for application rather than a pencil like applicator but for the price and the quality of the product I guess I can't really complain! It also has a really nice smell which is awesome since usually I find that led products smell very cheap and nasty

This product is like a mix between a lip pencil and a crayon, it has a drier formula than a lipstick. It stays on well and the tip is good for precise application. I like to use this and then put lip balm over, as it is a bit drying.

This comes cheaply packaged like a twist up lip pencil, only a little thicker. When I unwrapped mine the actual product was loose in the tube. It literally just fell out of the stick, however I was able to push it back in and it works fine. I have the colour natural which is a nudish pink. Its definatly a good nude for those who don't suit that tannish colour nude that's very in right now. Its very much like my natural lip colour which makes it easy to pair with my blusher. I could be wrong but I think there are only 4 shades available which is a shame as I like the formulation better than the regular elf lipstick. It doesn't have a huge staying power. Maybe 2 hours max but it tastes pleasantly like sugar. Overall I would say if the colour range was better I would purchase again, and I would repurchase this particular colour but I am not a fan off the others. Some say its drying and need to exfoliate lips before but I don't have a problem with is.

I have two of these and i own the red one and the natural one. The first shade i owned is red. That one glides on the lips very smoothly, its not patchy, its a neutral red but still leans a little towards the warmer side. The lasting power is okay and its not very long lasting, i'd say upto 4 hours long. You do need a lip liner for this to avoid it from feathering. It is also very pigmented and the colour payoff is great. The finish is like cream but you can mattify it with powder.

The natural colour however feels different. Because i loved the red so much, i bought another one. But this shade is patchy and and sits on top of the lips in a very unflattering way. The finish is satin but it feels a little drying .Im not sure if i got a dud, but not impressed with the formula of this shade.

The packaging is sleek and simple which I'm not complaining on. Theres a sharpener on the end of the pencil to sharpen your lipstick on which is a smart idea.

Over all, this is an okay product. You get what you pay for. Its still worth trying out.. Well the red that is.
