useless.
If I could I wouldn't even give it one star. As lovely as it looks in the pan, and despite the nice packaging, nothing could save this product. It doesn't even transfer onto my brush, even if I ran my brush to and fro its surface for five minutes (believe me, I've tried) so I don't even know how it would've looked like on my skin. What's the use of spending money on a product when you can't even use it? Fail.
good, but nothing special.
One of the few cosmetic products from Topshop I actually didn't hate at first try. It doesn't smell odd like some foundations tend to, and has a fair consistency: blendable, and neither to runny or too thick. It glides onto my skin easily, and doesn't streak. It has a dewy finish though, and as lovely as it is for me, it's probably not for everyone. Affordable too. Although I can't say I find it amazing, I think it'd work pretty well as an everyday foundation.
surprisingly good!
I was really surprised at how much I ended up liking this! I have a somewhat biased impression of clothing brands releasing their own cosmetic lines, and it isn't a good one. But I'm really satisfied with Topshop's nail polish, although I can't say the same for a few of their other products. It doesn't smell weird, although I can't say it smells good, and it goes on smoothly and is completely opaque with two coats. Good color choice too, although most colors are just 'normal' colours. A few exceptions though, like my current favorite Hidden Treasure, a gorgeous green-gold duochrome, and a knock off dupe for Butter London's Knackered.
disappointing
I really love the packaging, so cute, and had that matte feel, and I really wanted to like this product. But the felt tip is too stiff and thick making application difficult for my narrow lids, even feels a little rough on my eyelids, and the product itself is a little runny, no where near opaque enough and smells like chemicals. Used it once and already decided I'm never repurchasing. Would return it if I could.
slow response but.. I LOVE THEM
I was really excited to try this, and ended up buying 5 shades. I liked it alot at first. The color choice is nice, pigmentation is great, buildable, and the smell is quite nice. I love the matte finish. But I found it a little hard to apply, and it gets all melty after a while, when I lick my lips or eat something a little on the oilier side. So staying power is just alright. Definitely will keep using this, but depending on whether or not my impression improves, I might not repurchase. UPDATE Although I stand by my points, I will definitely be repurchasing. What can I say? It grew on me. Now I LOVE THEM.
disappointment
I was really excited to try ELF (We don't have ELF where I live). I had heard a lot of good things about ELF and this was one of the items I ordered. I loved all the colors. Imagine my disappointment when I got it, and the color barely showed up at all. Such poor pigmentation. It kind of turned me off the entire brand.
Long Lasting: Pro or Con?
I love how long lasting this is. It literally doesn't budge once it dries. The colors are fantastic. But being a dark red lip junkie, I picked up one of the darker shades, and regretted it. When I purse my lips or talk, you can clearly see the difference between the lipcolor and my natural coloring. And, being as long lasting as it is, there is no way to blend it in. Would probably be better in a lighter shade, although I haven't bothered to try.
Go to red lippie, for sure!
My favorite red MAC lipstick by far! I love the pink tone to this, and I'm pretty sure that was what really won me over with this lipstick. I feel like it made it stand out. Blue Reds, sure. Orange Reds, alright. But Pink Red? Heavenly! It feels alright, not extremely drying, although it does dry my lips some. It stays on for hours, as well as through drinks and light snacks. But I can't say I mind retouching this one.
love!
I JUST got my hands on this, literally an hour ago and I'm in love! The texture isn't heavy at all, despite my impression when I saw it in the jar. The color of this is to die for! A beautiful nude on its own and a gorgeous sheen when layered on another lipstick. The SPF is definitely a plus. And the wonderful, sweet, fruity smell just won me over!
