Review: ELF Lip Stain in Red Carpet

one very sheer, blotted coat

 one regularly applied coat

 two coats

 Product Info:

ELF Lip Stain in Red Carpet

$3.00


Pros:
-beautiful, deep red colour
-very buildable to go from everyday wear to dramatic (see for yourself! look at the pix above!)
-incredibly long lasting (8+ hours)
-sleek packaging
-very moisturizing gloss


Cons:
-stain alone is not very moisturizing
-not as long lasting if the gloss is applied overtop (but still pretty decent, I'd say)


Ways to use it (see pictures above):
-for an everyday , sheer wash of red: wipe most of the stain off the brush on the side of the tube, apply it to your lips gently, use your finger to blend the colour in, and finally, blot your lips on a paper towel
-for a wearable red lip: apply one coat to the lips
-for intense drama: apply two coats to the lips
-you can also just wear the gloss alone, or in combination with the stain


Additional comments:


Overall, I really love this lip stain and I would highly recommend it to anybody who is looking for long lasting red lip colour. I think the colour has some blue undertones which is great because that tends to make teeth look whiter!

Review: ELF Lip Stain in Fashionista

 without gloss

with gloss

Product Info:

ELF Lip Stain in Fashionista

$3.00

Pros:

-gorgeous lip colour

-if I don't apply the gloss overtop, the stain stays on my lips for literally 8+ hours

-the gloss is very moisturizing and not sticky at all

-no nauseating scents

-very sleek packaging

Cons:

-if I apply the gloss, the colour fades faster (I'd say it lasts about 3 hours)

-when you apply the gloss over the stain, the lip brush picks up some of the stain and becomes tinted pink

-the stain alone is not very moisturizing

Ways to use it:

-wear the stain alone

-wear the gloss alone

-wear the stain and layer the gloss over top

Additional Comments:

Overall, this is a beautiful wearable pink lip stain, and it is actually one of my favourite products from ELF! The stain gives a beautiful matte pink look without the gloss over it, and it has incredible staying power even if you talk a lot, or drink and eat. I would highly recommend this product to anybody looking for a long lasting, matte lip colour!
