On the whole ELF are a bit hit & miss with their products. What else would you expect considering their price point? Something they always seem to get right are lip products. They have such a great range of textures, colours & finishes with nothing costing more than a fiver. I've spoken before about my love for their Studio Matte Lip Pencils but right now I'm rather fond of their Mineral Lipsticks. Here I have the shade Rich Raspberry which is a deep berry pink colour. It looks quite reddish in tone when swatched but combined with the natural colour in my lips it becomes a much brighter punchier pink. I love the sheen this gives to my lips & the colour is just so beautiful.
For £5 this lipstick is amazing quality. It applies very smoothly & contains a whole host of moisturising ingredients including jojoba oil, coconut oil, castor oil, shea butter, olive oil & vitamin E. The formula feels very much like a lip conditioner. It hydrates your lips & keeps them feeling soft long after the lipstick has worn off. Despite the buttery soft feel of the lipstick it's actually very pigmented & not sheer like other balmy formulas. It wears well without leaving a ring around your lips. It disappears completely after eating but otherwise I can get about four hours of wear from it. All of the ELF mineral products are free from parabens, preservatives & chemical dyes so you can feel safe about putting this on your lips. Due to the lack of preservatives ELF claim that this lipstick only has a three month shelf life. It's a good job they're cheap then!

I love elf but you're right and they're totally hit and miss, and it's even harder than you can't go and swatch them before you buy online. I love the look of this lipstick though and what a great price! The colour looks amazing on you x
