E.L.F Mineral Lipstick
E.L.F. Mineral Lipstick in Rosy Raisin
E.L.F.’s Mineral Lipstick in Rosy Raisin is hands-down my favorite lip color. It is a warm medium rose pink that suits me perfectly as it is my very own my-lips-but-better shade. I normally shy away from pinks because I find that most of them are too cool-toned for my coloring. I was shocked at how flattering this shade was. Definitely a great find! You may be interested in checking it out if you’re fair with yellow undertones, like me. I think it should work nicely on those fairer people with cooler undertones as well. I’m no expert on skin tones but I’ve always had the feeling that people with pink undertones can pull off anything while those with yellow undertones look best with warmer shades.
As for the quality of the product, I do like it and think that it is decent. I think I would describe it as a creme finish. The color is matte and there isn't any shimmer, but there is a bit of glossiness to it. I don’t find it to be drying. My lips get dry very easily so I like to have something on them at all times. I do like the feel of this lipstick, as the slip of it helps me to feel that my lips have a moisture barrier, though I don’t think the lipstick itself is actually moisturizing. It isn’t long-lasting, probably wearing for an hour or two. I do re-apply multiple times a day. I personally don’t mind, as I don’t find any lipstick, other than a lip stain, to last more than a few hours. I haven’t noticed a scent or a taste. On the whole, the product itself is nothing spectacular but it does its job.
I would like to mention that I am on my second tube of this shade because my first one broke. The lipstick broke off at the base and fell on the ground. I only paid $2.50 for it, plus I adore the color, so I didn’t mind repurchasing it. Still, it is worth noting that these perhaps aren’t built to last. I do carry it around in my purse so I guess it gets jostled and banged around.
The product retails for $5 full-price but there are usually coupon codes for the Eyes, Lips, Face website (Bargain tip: check out retailmenot.com). Try to find one that gets you 50% off. If you can find a discount, then I would totally recommend that you check out this shade. I’m not sure that I would recommend the product at full-price unless you’re going for a color that you know you’ll love. $5 is not a lot but it is pricey for an E.L.F product. Since I know that this shade works so well for me, I would buy it full-price again and again, but I wouldn’t pay that amount for the other shades.
