Elf Matte Lip Color

As a college student I know how it is to be on a budget so when I get the chance to review drug store brand cosmetics I def jump on it. I actually have never tried Elf products so when I seen some Matte Lip colors I had to give them a try.


This lip pencils are easy to use by simply twisting the bottom. Made with vitamin A,C, and E the Elf Matte Lip color will mositurize and hydrate lips and comes in 6 different colors.


The 3 colors I got to try was Rich Red, Tea Rose and Natural


I know its blurry but I liked the way they looked.


Swatches of Rich Red, Tea Rose and Natural on my inner arm area so you could see it better. Each glided on smoothly and seemed to have pretty good color.



Rich Red is a blood red color. The colors is true to the name and can stay relatively well for a drug store brand.


Tea rose is a light pink color. I realized the top part of my lip color is uneven but the color isn't really bad.

The last color natural is a lighter rosy pink color. I don't know if this was old or what not but it did not come on like the others. It looked really weird. I applied it a few times and thought came to the conclusion it probably was too old.

Overall, for a drug store brand, the Matte Lip colors came out true to color except Natural. They moisturized really well, glided on super easy and had relatively good staying time. Def will give more Elf products a try now!
