Review - e.l.f. Super Glossy Lip Shine SPF15 in Watermelon

Okay, so where do I start? Well, the e.l.f. Super Glossy Lip Shine in Watermelon is definitely the definition of what this lip gloss is all about. I have been searching and searching for the perfect colored lip gloss that would look great on me..and now here it is! Its the first time I've used an e.l.f. makeup product, and I am totally impressed.

The e.l.f. lip gloss, which I bought for only $4 NZD is the cheapest yet most long wearing lip gloss I've ever had (and mind you, I've had HEAPS of them).



Here are some of the PROs and CONs of this product:

PROs:

  • it gives a beautiful nice pink color that would give you an instant pick me up look.
  • the lasting effect of this lip gloss on your lips is amazing! I've had mine on for about 5hours after all that eating and drinking without any retouching.
  • the color is not too harsh for everyday wear. it looks natural, except for the shine of course lol.
  • the size of the lip gloss is totally enough to last you for months.
  • the smell is yummy..mmmm..watermelon!
  • ..and it is so affordable, I am thinking of stocking up and buying 10more of these just in case they stop selling them, which I wish they wudn't. haha.
  • SPF15!
  • i just LOVE this gloss :)

CONs:

  • its a little bit sticky compared to the other lip glosses I've had. but you'll get over it.
  • the writing on the lip gloss package fades away..not a biggie since it's only $4 lol.

Here's my lips with the e.l.f. super Glossy Lip Shine on:
the photo doesn't really do justice on the color of the gloss haha. I had to put the camera extra close to my lips so that it'd show the closest color possible to the actual color.

Sexy Smokey Eyes + Nude Lips = Vintage Vixen.



The deadly duo. Combined together, the sexy bedroom eye makeup and the seductive nude lips are a perfect match to completely blow men away. Fashion icons such as Nicole Richie and Keira Knightley are big fans of this look and also not to mention the Gucci Fall-Winter Runway Show 08. This style of makeup is also perfect for partying, clubbing and a night out in town as it enhances your eyes by making it look bigger and sexier.



To achieve this sultry look you will need:
  • black eyeliner
  • dark eye shadow
  • eyeliner brush with a pointed tip
  • cream eye liner
  • black mascara
  • false eyelashes (if u want)l
  • ip liner
  • concealer
  • nude lipstick



SMOKEY EYES.

  1. Smudge black eyeliner and dark eye shadow all over your eye lid.
  2. Use the eyeliner brush with a pointed tip to paint your upper and lower lashes in luxe noir (black).
  3. Dip the brush into a cream eyeliner and apply it in several layers to increase the intensity, making sure to extend the outer corners of the eye outward and upward in a cat-like style.
  4. Smoke it out by sweeping dark eye shadow on top and smudging it with a brush.
  5. If u want, to add a dramatic look, add a strip of false eyelashes to the upper lid of the eye.

NUDE LIPS.
  1. Use a nude lip liner to outline your pout.
  2. Then slick on concealer to tone down the natural color of your lips.
  3. Apply nude lipstick with your finger tips until you reach the color that u want.
  4. Skip the gloss to get the matte finish effect.
Voila, you'd be looking pretty hot for that night in town with your friends :)

Hope you enjoy it,
