Review: E.L.F. $1.00 Lipstick

The E.L.F. $1.00 Lipsticks recently came out earlier this year and I always loved the Mineral Line Lipsticks. However, even $5.00 seemed to be a stretch for me because when you add shipping, it's not as cheap as you think anymore. There's always coupon codes floating around the internet which may save you from the pricey shipping. 

Now, the lipsticks off of the regular line doesn't look as fab and sleek as the mineral line lipsticks. The packaging in the regular line looks cheaper but it is unique. They do not have a very good range of lip colors to choose from and some of them are pretty similar. 

The two lipsticks that I bought was Classy and Voodoo. Classy is the lightest shade and on the website it looks like a gorgeous pale milky pink. However it comes off more of as a slightly paler hot pink color.

Voodoo appears, on the website, to be a dark rich reddish-brown lip color. However, this color comes off very much lighter than the online image of it.

Swatches of E.L.F. Lipsticks in Classy and Voodoo

There are more cons than pros to these lipsticks. The downfall of these lipsticks is the colors and pigmentation. These are not at all long lasting. Once I swatched these two lipsticks on my hand and grazed just  a bit over them, the Classy lipstick almost vanished while the Voodoo lipstick had left a barely visible film of the color. Now, don't get me wrong, I actually like these colors, but E.L.F. needs to make a new formula on how to make it longer lasting. Another con to the lipstick....PACKAGING! I had my Classy lipstick for one day and it broke on me!

         

 I don't know how on earth it broke so easily on me, but such poor packaging is intolerable! I actually liked this lip color, but it was totally destroyed in one day! 

Now, the pros to these lipsticks is of course Price! The colors are indeed quite nice, even though they aren't the true colors shown on the website but they're still pretty colors. 

So, would I ever buy this lipstick again and would I recommend it to you Beauty Watchers? 

 

    For The Price:

Yes, I would recommend it.

   For The Quality:

No, I would not recommend this for quality!

(mainly because of packaging)

  Overall:

 3/5

Try It!

If you plan to buy these lipsticks, it's perfectly fine, but you shouldn't wear these on special occasions or events that are longer than the usual. So, try at least one lipstick out and see if you like it :)

Until Next Time,
