Hi everyone!
My name is Alessandra from http://www.cakescupcakescosmetics.blogspot.co.uk and the lovely Appu has let me do a little guest ramble this afternoon!
Today I'll be reviewing the e.l.f. Hypershine Lip Gloss in Blossom!
E.L.F (www.eyeslipsface.co.uk) says: 'Hyper, glass-like shine infused with micro-mirror technology to reflect light. Conditioning shine lasts for hours.' I really like e.l.f. cosmetics because I find them very affordable and most of the time they are high quality. They also don't test on animals! *cheers*
My take: This product costs £1.50, so I wasn't expecting too much for that price. The packaging is quite cheap-looking but it is very functional and does its job well. You have one end with a plastic brush from which to apply the product and the other end is the twisting mechanism you use to get your product out of the packaging. One thing I have noticed is that the lettering on the side of the product rubs off very easily, so you may want to label your glosses if you have more than a few colours in your collection!
Most of the time I find e.l.f.'s cosmetics to have quite a sweet smell which I don't particularly like very much, but this product doesn't have even the faintest whiff of anything which is great for fussy people like me!
I chose the shade 'Blossom' because it looked like a nice pigmented light pink shimmery gloss, which was just what I was after - and the product is exactly that! I love this shade - it's pigmented, shimmery, but a bit on the clear side. I'm fine with that, but if you want a stronger colour, I would suggest choosing a darker shade (e.l.f. has 16 shades to choose from so there will be something for everyone!)
Swatches:
On my lips: Before and After pictures
Pros and Cons:
The formula of this product is actually really nice - it glides on smoothly and is really, really moisturizing, In fact, I would buy it for the moisturizing factor alone - I already have a few backups.. ;0)
Final Words:
I absolutely love this product. The formula's great, it's a gorgeous shade, and you can't go wrong for just £1.50! E.l.f. continually amazes me with their great quality and this is definitely a winner for me!
Thank you again to Appu for letting me guest blog today!
