Elle 18 Color Pops Lipstick Coral Shine Review and Swatches

Is there any  ELLE 18 products flood here? Why has everyone around MABH gone crazy over ELLE 18? Is there any discounts? Is there any coupons provided? Am I missing anything? Is ELLE 18 products that good? Shall I get something for myself? Don’t think too much girls, these are exactly the lines that was running in my mind( like the sparrows :D) when I saw all the ELLE 18 products review here. I will stop my ramblings and move on to the review.

Price and Quantity:

Rs.100 for 4.3 ml (Yay :D)

 

My Experience:

Who doesn’t love BLACK? If you, then you will surely love its packaging. Simple and smart. It comes in a simple black plastic case. It looks so girlish. The black and the pink combination takes it to the top. The bullet has a slant tip that makes the application more precise.

Coral shine looks pretty doll coral in the tube. When swatched it looks more of pink and less of coral. It has a glossy finish. It would look great on fair-medium skinned girls. Dusky girls may find it a bit neon-y. So its better to check it at the store.

I have bright wheatish skin tone and it suits me well.  A good everyday pink shade. The texture is smooth so no tugging and pulling over lips. The lipstick is well pigmented. It has a lip balm core inside the bullet. It keeps the lips moisturized until the lipstick is on. But what? The lipstick doesn’t stay more than 2 hrs. This lipstick doesn’t leave any stain behind. This lipstick can also be used as pink cream blush. Overall, nothing to complaint considering the price tag.

PROS:

  • Affordable and availability
  • Wide range of colors to choose from
  • Pretty everyday pink
  • Smooth texture
  • Moisturizing
  • Can be used as a cream blush due to no shimmers

CONS:

  • Doesn’t stay more than 2 hours
  • Ingredients list not mentioned

 

Rating: 3.5/5


Do I Recommend?:

Yes! To those beauties for wants a coral pink shade and to those who don’t want to make a hole in your pockets. 😛  Come on girls, use it as a cream blush too.


Would I Repurchase?:

Yes, the other shades.

Elle 18 Color Pops Lipstick Cranberry Review, Swatches and Photos

Today I am reviewing another lipstick, a multi functional one actually (well for me it does) from my Elle 18 collection. It’s my all time favorite ethnic wear lipstick and also.. My perfect cream bronzer!!!! Yes like I said its multi functional.

This beauty is my perfect bronzer just the right shade for me. It gives an amazing glow to my face s well as it contours perfectly giving me flawless features. All skin tones can use this either as a bronzer or for contouring alone if you are chalk white and wish for that sun kissed skin..

Price and Quantity:

Rs.100 for 4 ml

My Take:

This lipstick comes in a black case with twister to get the lipstick out. The packaging is chic and trendy.

Its a brick red lipstick with golden undertone. There are tiny shimmers (not sparkles guys…like that multi coloured glitter.. .nope just shimmer!) This lipstick gives complete coverage and that golden and bronze shimmers just add glow to your face like anything.

The lipstick is neither creamy nor matte. It just give a soft finish. The golden shimmers not apart from the main lipstick so you will see that the texture is extremely smooth. Few swipes alone will give amazing colour pay off. The lipstick smells amazing like all other Elle 18 lipsticks – bubble gum like.

This lipstick stays for 3 to 4 hours. Add a bronze based lip gloss and it will stay even more. As it starts to fade the shimmers remain giving a nice effect but if totally dries up it will make it look as if you have swallowed bronze glitter or shimmer particles. Its messy to remove but the shimmers will come out easily with  even a mild a face wash.

Coming to bronzer part, the shimmers work here in my benefit rather than hindering the effect like on my lips. Simply amazing! Take a fluffy brush and hold the lipstick. Swipe the brush on it to pick up some.and blend on your skin well. Ta da! Perfect sun kissed skin is yours! Don’t try this unless you know contouring properly and to use a bronzer.

On My lips:

 

PROS:

  • Excellent color and very ethnic and Indian to wear
  • Not balmy and not matte but moisturizing
  • Suits every skin tone
  • It can also be used as a bronzer
  • Imparts glow to your face

CONS:

  • Except that the dried up shimmers is a turn off on lips. Can’t find any other con with this one!

 

Rating: 4/5 (Dried up shimmers bother me a lot!)

 

Do I Recommend?:

It a must for every college girl out there with limited pocket money and too many parties to go to! 😉


Would I Repurchase?:

It is my bronzer! so of course I will 😀 but till I find a better shade.

Elle 18 Color Pops Lipstick Pink Fever Review and Swatches

Hey friends!

I am not a lipstick fan but Elle 18 changed that. Here is one of my favorite lipsticks from the collections. It’s a beautiful pink with maroon undertones and I absolutely adore it. Read on to know more about the lipstick.

Price and Quantity:

Rs.100 for 4.3 ml

 

Shade Reviewed: 

Pink fever

My Take:

This lipstick has a beautiful pink shade with maroon undertones. It is a creamy shade hence it is not at all a problem to get the proper pigment on lips. Try with brush to apply as its too creamy. For me, it broke once (You can see the crack in the picture)

This lipstick is one of the the best matched pink on my lips. People who want to try a pink without violet or blue undertones will love this. And for starters like me it is of course a safer option in pinks.

This lipstick doesn’t have any sparkles but it has slight pinkish color ultra shimmer for that glossy look. This Pink Fever Lipstick smells like bubble gum like all the Elle 18 lipsticks do.

The texture of this lipstick is too creamy and oily as well. But it is almost an opaque color. It bleeds in hot weather…Grrrrr

 

On My lips:

PROS:

  • Excellent color
  • Easy application
  • Pigmentation is very good
  • Looks glossy and almost opaque
  • Available easily
  • Beautiful safe pink for starters
  • Easy on pocket

CONS:

  • Breaks easily
  • Bleeds in hot weather (just look at the lips… grrrrrrr)
  • Staying power is 2 hours but I don’t complaint for the price I am getting
  • Not the bright pink which most of the ladies prefer

 

Rating: 3.5/5

 

Do I Recommend?:

Yes of course! This is a really beautiful color with no ugly sparkles. Thank god! It’s an excellent evening wear lipstick which can brighten your face so well. Moreover, this particular shade suits every skin tone.

 

Would I Repurchase?:

I am very happy with the color, creamy texture, pigmentation and the price (woot) of this lipstick. And so, a big YES! I will repurchase. (I am using it frequently)
