It's amazing how girls can now easily afford a lipstick because of Elle 18. You already know the product and the brand but I still couldn't resist writing a review. It's an absolutely lovable daily wear lipstick.
Type: (advertised as) Matte but actually is more of a creamy matte lipstick.
Price: Rs. 100
Weight: 4.3 gms
Colour: Pink
Shade name and number: Pink show, P24
Packaging: Black retractable lipstick case with the face of a girl. Shade name, number, weight of the lipstick and other packaging details at the bottom.
Pros:
Super affordable lipstick.
Application: No need to put lip balm before application. This lipstick is sufficiently moisturised. Glides smoothly even on dry lips. Layering does not cause any clumps. Hides pigmentation of the lips well. Leaves a colour stain after its completely gone from the lips.
Packaging: Case shuts with a click. Twist mechanism click locks when the lipstick is completely inside or outside the case.
Cons:
Uneven shape of the lipstick: I bought this as well as another shade from this range during last year's Diwali. When I opened to have a look, I saw the lipstick was in a bit of an uneven shape. (I wish I had taken a picture then.) The irregular shape evened out after a few applications.
Colours don't match: Colours of lipsticks in this range don't match the shades given in the colour pamphlet provided by the company (I bought this lipstick in a shop). Don't bother looking at the pamphlet. If visiting a shop, just open the case and check out the shade.
Unstable twist mechanism: Lipstick goes inside during application. Needs to be applied in a light handed manner.
Repeated application: Takes at least 2 swipes for the colour to show completely on the lips.
Not exactly matte: This lipstick has a little shine to it.
Transfers easily even after an hour of being applied: Some lipstick transfers after eating. A lot of it fades away after eating.
Sweaty lipstick?: Little drops of vapour are formed on the lipstick.
A disagreement with the product claim:
It took me 2 strokes of application instead of just one to properly colour my lips.
Final thoughts:
In spite of all it's cons, I would still buy this lipstick because it is oh-so-affordable. I would like to explore some more shades before I decide to buy another one from this range.
