Lipstick

I got this in two colors. Nostalgic and Gypsy. My mother got it in Captivating.

1. Nostalgic: It appeared a light beige color on the website, but is actually a pale pink. Nevertheless, I tried it out on my lips. Very disappointed right there. It was drying, not creamy, and if you rub your lips together it leaves a faded line in the middle.

2. Gypsy: Much better than Nostalgic. It's a darker color; somewhat burgundy. I won't say it's very creamy, but it's also not that drying. But it's definitely not moisturizing. Once again though, if you rub your lips together it leaves a faded line in the middle.

3. Captivating: This is the one my mom received. It was also a pale pink, contrary to the beige we saw on the website. It is actually a little bit worse than Nostalgic. It was VERY drying, definitely not creamy, and left a faded line. My mom's lips were slightly chapped before, but this just worsened them.

So, overall, the only one I would recommend from what WE bought would be Gypsy. But even then it's still not all that great. It's not hydrating as it claims to be and let's not forget that faded line!

Next time I buy e.l.f lipsticks I hope it'll be worth it to spend those two extra bucks to buy Lipstick from the Studio Line.

I love this lipstick for color and easy application. When first applied, it's smooth and creamy, but the longer I wear it, I find that it tends to dry out. However, that's easily fixed by just applying a balm before the lipstick.

These are usually my go to lipsticks. They are very creamy and moisturizing. Gypsy is my favorite shade which is a great mauve color that would probably work with any complexion. For a buck it's a great deal and you can't go wrong.

This shade is way more pink that I am accustomed to but I like it! These lipsticks are more on the matte side. There is no shimmer, no gloss, just a tiny bit of barely there shine. I would say they are matte. A lip gloss over these would be great. A gloss would keep the lips feeling more moisturized while the lipstick is very long lasting.

Cheap , Pigmented. Not creamy or moustrazing if thats what your looking for this isnt a product you would want, but if your looking for color its perfect. Inexpensive and very good quality.
