ELF studio lip conditioning lip balms spf15 [review with lip and hand swatches!!]

HELLO GUYS!!

I have another ELF product review today!!

I would have never ever tried these unless the 50% off code came along. 

I initially got two shades: mellow melon and nice and natural. 

I fell in love with mellow melon and I got the last shade I was interested in: 

peaceful pink. 

In fact, I'm so not surprised ALL three shades that I own are currently out of stock. 

I will gladly pay full price for these.. 

especially mellow melon.

and here's why:

PACKAGING

Ok so I'm going to be honest with this one.

I hate the packaging. 

I hate lip products in tins. 

And even more, this is seriously bulky for a lip conditioner. 

But yeah the product is great enough that I continue to use it even though

I hate the packaging.  

TEXTURE

This is not quite like a gloss. 

It's a thicker, more moisturising version of a gloss. 

But kind of looking like a gloss too. 

Does that make sense?

It's like a creamy lipstick which is glossy, 

Does that make better sense?

Lol. 

Ok. Think Sleek Pout Polishes. 

Pretty much the same, but less greasy.

PIGMENTATION

Very nicely pigmented.

BUILDABILITY

Very buildable. 

You can apply it sheer, 

or even more opaque.

STAYING POWER

Pretty decent. 

I wouldn't say it's really long lasting

because it isn't..

but it fades nicely and after a good 2-3 hours I'll gladly reapply 

SHADE

Nice and Natural: A greyish kind of nude with a pink undertone.

Mellow Melon: A lovely coral pink

Peaceful Pink: A neutral medium pink

I definitely recommend these. And even if you hate the bulky tin packaging like me.

I would give it a shot.

Like me.
