Makeup Review ~ Elf Matte Lip Colour (Coral)

Heyy guys~~~ I've been so busy lately so I missed out on last week's post! But I'll try to bring more posts to you guys! :)

Recently, I've discovered an American brand, Elf (Eye Lips Face). It is a drugstore brand so the prices of course are CHEAAAP! However I was surprised by how many people raved about this brand so I decided to give it a go! :)

For those of you in Australia, you can find this brand in Kmart or the official Australian Elf website (their prices are adjusted so they are more expensive than America). However this brand is definitely affordable!

I'm those who doesn't like buying a haul of certain brand, I like trying out one product at a time.. I feel like this way I can try it "properly" xD Elf has a studio, mineral and essential line. Essential is the cheapest line, Mineral and Studio are sort of the more "expensive" side compared to essential line (but it's still relatively cheap)

Anyways, I decided to give it a try so I picked the Matte Lip Colour in the Colour Coral when I walked past the Elf section in Kmart~

For this price, it's a kinda "high-end" packaging with a box and stuff. For most of the drugstore products I see, like Maybelline Revlon etc.. They don't have a box.  

I don't have any coral colour lipstick so I picked this up~ :)

It looks like a lip liner but thicker and you can spin the pinkest bottom part to get more product. Definitely very convenient to pop in your make up bag!! Also I like how it's kinda like a lip liner shape so I can be quite precise with the edges. :D

Here's a swatch for you guys~ It's super pigmented and super creamy!!! <3<3

When I opened the packaging after I purchased it, I had to try it out!!! At first, I tried it by it's own, I didn't like it. It's sinks through my draw lip cracks and it looks horrible. Plus I am never a fan of matte lip colour but I bought it because this is the colour I've been looking for~~

Here's the first picture with my bare lips. My lips are always dry so I am wearing a little bit of Maybelline's baby lines (Antioxidant berry)

This is with Elf's Matte Lip Colour (in Coral). It's a little lighter than my natural lip colour so I love it <3<3

*** 1 = Nup/not a fan ><, 5 = Yes/J'adore <3 *** 

Creaminess: 5/5 (Super creamy - glides on without hassle)

Pigmentation: 5/5 (The colour is very thick and solid)

Colour payoff: 5/5 (Love the colour - prefect for summertime)

Moistness: 4/5 (It's moist but it's not like the moistness of a lip balm xD)

J'adority: 5/5 (DEFINITELY DEFINITELY REPURCHASING!!!! I will most likely try other colours too. Very impressed with the product!!!)

My overall comment: It's cheap, it's pigmented, it's creamy and it's has quite a few colours to pick from. I love it so so so so so much!! HAHAHA.. I am very impressed with this line of lip colour. I will buy the other colours!! But as I said before, because I am no fan to matte lips, so I prefer to use the baby lip lip balm before I apply it. That's why in my picture, it has a shine to it xD I think the colour is very nice and natural. I can't really carry sharp colours or redish colours. So this Coral colour is good for summertime, AMAZINNG COLOUR!!!!! I love it love it love it so much~~ Also I recommend you guys to moisten up your lips before you apply or it will sink in you lip cracks. In fact, for most lips products, I do recommend you to apply lip balm or lip patch (unless you are using lip butters) to moisten up your lips. You can also exfoliate your lips a bit before you apply lip balms!! :) 

Sorry about my horrible camera but I will get a proper camera soon.. so the quality will be better in the future xD! Also I have yellow lightings in these photos so the actual colour may vary a bit from the actual colour. Once again thank you for reading my posts, I hope my reviews help!! :) Hope you guys have a wonderful weeek~ 

Love

Ewy ~
