Hello Everyone!

As you all may know, nude lips have been trending for quite a while now and I don't think it would be disappearing anytime soon. If you are out there hunting for the perfect nude lipstick, this is the one! This lipstick is in the creme sheen finish,it gives smooth application and it semi moisturizes your lips even without applying lip balm prior to application. This lipstick does not claim to be long lasting but it lasts through eating or drinking and surprisingly it stays in place!

The only downside to this product is the price, not many people may be willing to pay $14.50 for a lipstick. If you are on a budget there are a lot of duplicates of this lipstick at the drugstore, some of them are E.l.f's Mineral Lipstick in Natural Nymph, Hard Candy in Firearm or Revlon's Matte Lipstick in Nude Attitude.

Thank you for reading and I hope this review was helpful in making your final decision.

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!
