ELF studio lip stain in red carpet [review w/ swatches] !!

HELLO GUYS!!

I have another ELF product review today. 

I know a lot of you tend to like my ELF reviews, 

so I love to feature ELF products in my posts, 

and I know it's available in a lot of countries so I like letting you know what I think about their products. 

I featured this in my recent HITS AND MISSES video:

Today's spotlight is on the ELF studio lip stain in red carpet:

PACKAGING

Pretty Sleek, 

almost Nars looking. 

on one end there's the stain.

On the other there's the gloss. 

 Very portable.

TEXTURE

The stain: Quite creamy. Almost like a liquid lipstick. Dries matte. 

The gloss: Very liquidy, greasy and sloppy. It's like gloss mixed with water. I don't like it.

PIGMENTATION

I'll be talking about the stain because the gloss is clear. 

Very highly pigmented. 

Just like liquid lipstick. 

This is not a gloss, I promise you.

LASTING POWER

This does not have the lastign power of a stain. 

It has the staying power of a matte lipstick, which is good too.

But don't expect it to stay there all day.

SHADE

A bright red with pink undertones.

I personally don't like the shade. 

I prefer orangey reds or even better - neutrals. 

But this looked great on my Mum so it's definitely not a product I'm going to throw out.

on my mama's gorgeous lips

BOTTOM LINE

Great product, 

unfortunately I didn't like the shade on me. 

The gloss isn't good though. 

The actual stain, aka matte lipstick is pretty good though.

 I hope you found this helpful ladies,
let me know what you think :)
