Sorry for being MIA. I have been given truck load of work at office and yes, I am partly dead.(I dont know why I am feeling this way but I want to write a post on how the work culture in software industry actually is, I'll write it real soon ) Coming to the present post, this is a review of my first ever elf product. This is gifted by Renji (actually I took it lol ) It is the ELF Mineral Moisturizing Lip tint in Rose. Price and Quanitity: $3.00 for 0.1oz/2.8g What they say about this lip tint: source
Nourish, pamper and treat lips with this super emollient, lip quenching color. Shea butter, Jojoba oil, Coconut Oil and Vitamin E impart serious moisture while SPF 8 protects lips from harmful UVA/UVB rays. This just-bitten tint of color provides immediate soothing relief to irritated chapped lips while also diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the lip area. Like all our mineral makeup this item is mineral based with no parabens, no preservatives and no chemical dyes.
How to Use:
Twist up and gently glide across lips to hydrate, repair and protect lips while adding a sheer wash of color to lips. Use as a base prior to apply lip color for addition coverage or alone for a sheer hint of color.
Ingredients:
Active Ingredient: Titanium Dioxide 4% Inactive Ingredients: Paraffinium Liquidum (Mineral Oil), Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Isooctyl Palmitate, Synthetic Wax, Microcrystalline Wax (Cera Microcristallina), Petrolatum, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Tocopheryl Acetate (Ve), Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil May Contain: Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Manganese Violet (CI 77742), Mica (CI 77019)
Package:
The product comes in a matte black bullet. It has thin and long body. The liptint is thin too. The product comes out by twisting the bottom portion. The liptint is super sturdy.
The shade: "ROSE"
This is one among the series and it is just true to the name. The liptint is in pretty rose shade which is pink. The best part, it is pigmented enough to cover my dark lips. The shade is just lovely and it would complement anybody (for fair skin beauties, the BEST).
This has lovely smell to it and a secret here.. this tastes sweet. YES, I tasted it. It is just too sweet to lick it off my lips.
My Experience with the Product:
I guess you guys must have understood that I liked the product. First of all, it is made of minerals and also my first ever try at mineral makeup. Well, frankly I didn't find much difference except for the fact that is amazing pigmented and long staying hours and super moisturizing abilities. Aaanddd... It has SPF.. though it is not huge but you know, something is better than nothing.
The shade ROSE is a delicate pink shade which is universally complimenting. It stays on for so long. The only thing which I felt is a con is, you may need to scrub your lips well. So, that the lip tint doesnt fill in the fine lines and make them appear huge.
If you are anyway near to the elf outlet, go grab one soon. They have too many pretty shades.
Swatches:
Because of my sick work routine and lot of stress my lips are super chapped and hence no lip swatches.
kindly adjust with the hand swatch. Sorry.
