NEW e.l.f. Essential Lip Kiss Balms
(retail: $2 each)
e.l.f. has launched some new products over the past couple of weeks (the latest being the tinted lip balms above), so here's a quick rundown...
Click a link below to be taken to the product listing on the e.l.f. website.
Essential Lip Kiss Balm ($2)
Available exclusively on the e.l.f. website. Four shades. Limited quantities available, so don't wait if you're interested in these. (Thanks to reader @hobby_is_beauty on Instagram for the tip about these!)
Essential Prime & Stay Setting Powder ($2)
This is supposedly a dupe for MAC Prep + Prime ($26). When e.l.f. first emailed customers about this new product, their email said "compare to $26 department store brands," and MAC Prep + Prime is $26. It could also be a dupe for Too Faced Primed & Poreless Pressed Powder, but that retails for $30 so I think the MAC dupe is more likely.
Studio Kiss It Goodbye Lip Color Remover ($3)
I'm wondering how this compares to the Sephora Ultimate Oil-In-Gel Lipstick Remover (regularly $9.50 but it's been on sale for $5 on the Sephora site forever).
Studio Moisturizing Lipstick - new Holiday 2015 shade ($3)
e.l.f. released a new, deep crimson red shade in this line for Holiday 2015 called Razzle Dazzle.
Studio Matte Lip Color - three new shades ($3)
e.l.f. released three new shades in this line: Berry Sorbet, Hot Commodity, and Dash of Pink.
BONUS SNEAK PEEK: There's a new e.l.f. brow cream on the way late this month. Take a look HERE.
Do you already own any of these new product/shades? I'd love to hear your thoughts! PS: I'm guessing all but the lip balms will eventually be available at Target, Walmart, etc. But since the lip balms are "limited quantity" those may not make it to stores.
I have two of the new Matte Lipstick shades (Berry Sorbet and Dash of Pink). They are absolutely gorgeous colors...much more interesting than the original core Matte Lipstick shades. This is a formula I really recommend if you have drier lips as they don't dry you out at all but still have the finish and wear of the best matte formulas and while I love the Milani Moisture Mattes, these are even more lightweight and comfortable. I love how ELF is stepping up their game and really trying to stay on trend and giving customers a reason to keep coming back frequently. I also have to applaud their online customer service. Anytime I've contacted them about an issue...makeup arriving broken (only once!) or an item substitution I didn't want, they fixed it immediately no questions asked. For a "cheap" brand, they continue to impress me.
ReplyDeleteI know u said limited quantities on the Lip Balms. Have u heard if they r going to stock them permanently? It all sounds so good. I love Elf Products. Always wanting and getting more. Signed up for the Elf Beauty Bundle and have not been disappointed at all. Even duplicates I got r now backups. Someday I'm going to gather it all up and take a pic just so I can see how much I have collected so far. SOMEDAY keep saying that lol. Thanks so much for all u do. Ur my fav and first go to every morning if not the nite before thanks always for having it ready to go nite before. U and and others that help do a Winderful job.
ReplyDeleteI've gotten a few of these already, and I'm working on some reviews. I'm waiting on the brow cream to hit the online store before I get the lip balm and the setting powder.
ReplyDeleteI got the Razzle Dazzle holiday shade, which is the same great formula I've loved in their other moisturizing lipsticks. The color is nice, but I can't see the gold flecks as much as I'd hoped. I also got the Matt Lip Color in Berry Sorbet. Again, it's the same matte lipsticks I like. No complaints on the shade, either.
The lip color remover was the thing I really wanted to try since I wear a log of really dark lipsticks that tend to stain badly, and it works well. I haven't even left it on for the recommended 30 seconds, and everything seems to come off beautifully with one tissue swipe.
