ELF Lipsticks (Classy, Flirtatious, Captivating)


Another purchase from ELF! I think i have to stay away from their stall in SM Department Store because every time i pass by, there is an 80% chance that i am going to get something. I got 3 lipsticks from my last trip to ELF and i am very happy with these. Each lipstick cost 129php which i think is very affordable for a product that has good quality.


L-R: Captivating, Flirtatious, Classy

The packaging is decent. Not so classy but not so cheap as well. I was only planning to purchase Captivating as planned but i fell in love with the other shades too. If you notice you get a lot of product in one lipstick. ELF lipsticks' pellet is actually longer than other lipsticks that I have tried.

Here are the swatches of the 3 shades that i purchased. Captivating has a nude-orange color, Flirtatious gives off a bubblegum pink color, and Classy is a deep pink shade.

Once i tried it on my lips i can't help but notice the creaminess of its texture. You don't even have to use lip balm before applying because it has great pigmentation. I love how the color came out on my lips. It's just what i am looking for. For the scent, i hate it when lipsticks have a soapy scent. It's not pleasing to the lips that's why i am very thankful ELF lipsticks have a fruity scent. It adds more fresh feeling while applying.

Captivating is more of a nude color after the first application. Try applying it to the lips twice or thrice then you get a more orange-y color on your lips.

Flirtatious is a very vibrant pink which i love. I am into candy pink or bubblegum pink colors right now that's why i didn't even think twice when i saw it.

Classy as the name says is a more 'classy' shade of pink. It gives a sophisticated look on the lips which all girls would love.

PROs:
Very affordable. 129php each
Lipstick pellet is longer than my other lipsticks
Creamy texture
Great pigmentation
Color is buildable
Wide range of shades and colors
Fruity scent

CONs:
Lasting power is not very long - but it stains on your lips even after a couple hours.
Overall, i still love it! I will definitely repurchase after i finish this lipstick. In fact, i am planning to collect all shades as possible. I'll try to get the red ones since i haven't tried those.
