e.l.f. SRSLY Satin Lipstick, Cherry

I was instantly happy with the colour (pepper was the first one I ordered); I'd been looking for a simple bright red lipstick, and I also ordered Raspberry afterwards because the pinker shade appealed to me. It was a little darker than I expected but I'm still happy with it. The consistency takes a little getting used to. It's true - you can get the pigmentation with one swipe, but for the full satin effect you need to give it some work. Otherwise you end up with a matte texture, which is cool if you're into that. It also doesn't dry, which on the plus side makes it nice and hydrating, but on the other hand it comes off on everything so you have to be careful! E.l.f. products smell and feel great - they're not over-perfumed and don't smell of horrible petroleum or have a strange taste either; something that's very important to me if I'm going to be wearing it on my face most of the day rather than painting it on a canvas! I intend to order crème and taffy next for some less dramatic looks; I hope the colours deliver as pepper and raspberry do. It is very good value.

The first time I tried on Cider, I knew I had found my everyday winter lipstick. It's a super wearable red-brown shade because of how muted it is. Looks so darn pretty on pigmented lips (My skin tone is medium neutral, for reference).

I bought 5 of these, all different colors. The price is right and the lipstick is good. Someone in another review said they were disappointed that the size was small, like a sample. It isn't. It's the same size as any other lipstick. And I love the transparent case,...what a great idea!

I'm so pleased with this e.l.f. lipstick in Taffy. The matte texture is creamy, it applies smoothly and the rosy shade is perfect for a sunny summer afternoon. And what a nice surprise to receive it the same day I'd ordered it. No, it wasn't due for another day but someone must have caught the driver just in time and whisked it up onto the truck. Ha, what fun. I'll be ordering other shades (Cherry, Sugarplum...?)

I love these lippies – so far I have Cider, Taffy, Nectar and Crème. I use Crème to lighten the others as it's a concealer lip shade on me (light/medium skin tone), if I pop it over the top of Cider it makes my almost perfect nudey-peach shade. I enjoy this formula, glides on easily, is opaque in one swipe, doesn't stay on long (but I didn't expect that from a satin bullet lipstick). Can't really go wrong with it for the price can you, it's cruelty-free, lovely creamy texture, great colour and I just love the packaging! Am quite tempted to come back for the other shades!

I bought the shades Cocoa and Persimmon. Persimmon is VERY bright - it's not bad, but I'm black and darkskinned so it takes some getting used to. Good thing it's easy to layer other lip products on top ;) Cocoa is beautiful - it looks more like a dark terracotta on me than the dark dark brown I was expecting. For the price I don't mind, it looks great either way. It's great for everyday wear.

I think it's a good lipstick for the price. The color is very pretty and it stays on for a long time. Someone said it was way too small but I think the size is good. It's definitely bigger than sample sizes. Also someone said it smells weird but I didn't smell anything at all. For $3.00 it's a good product. Come on people if you think you're getting a full size Estee Lauder lipstick for $3.00 you're not. If that's what you want go to Macy's and spend $28 for a lipstick you like.
