I lately got two pretty new mineral lipsticks from ELF, since I've always appreciated the quality of them. I made a review long time ago, well my opinion about these is still the same, they have a perfect INCI, they have a gorgeous color range, the only downside is that they last so little, but that has never been a super problem for me (just keep in mind if you intend to buy them). Ok, I purchased again two reddish shades because I think they best suit my 'face colours', my hair and my personality! :)
I'll leave you with the swatches, but before let me just shortly describe the shades I chose:
- Rich Raspberry: a plummy rose, with a sheer finish
- Barely Bitten: a strawberry red with tiny golden orangey particles, also sheer.

As you can see the difference between the two shades is barely visible once applied on the lips, I just can say that Barely Bitten gives a pretty orangey strawberry light, while Rich Raspberry is more of a serious, working-time-shade.
