Pro's

  • It is moisturizing
  • It is somewhat hydrating
  • Long lasting
  • Great quality for a great price!
Con's
  • It is not a glossy finish but matte
  • The staying power is not that great. 
  • Does not glide on the lips very well
  • It does not condition
I purchased four of these e.l.f Essential Lipsticks just to try them out to see the quality, I got them in the colors : Classy, Sociable, Flirtatious and Posh and these are the swatches below :


From left to right : Classy (a very sheer light pink), Sociable (a bright red tone), Posh (a darker red compared to Sociable) and Flirtatious ( bright baby pink tone)

In conclusion, I find these to be great quality and the price is right! The only thing I really did not like about them is that you have to make sure and condition your lips thoroughly before application because all the dead skin on your lips would show up quite a bit. 

If you have these lipsticks please comment and let me know your experience with them!

  • When applying product the brush does not do the job (unless you have tiny fingers)
  • Product dries up very quickly after 2- 3 uses
  • Storage is important in preserving the life of this product
At first when I purchased this product I was really excited because I have tried other Wet n' Wild products that were awesome, unfortunately for this one I was disappointed. (but for the price I didn't feel that bad, ha ha)
Have you tried this? What are your thoughts?
