This was requested by the fabulous Emily!

I own one of these in the shade Classy
Classy is a medium pink.

Top swatch is one swipe bottom is applied more heavily.
This lipstick isn't drying, but it isn't moisturizing either, it will accentuate dry patches so I always suggest applying lip balm prior to lipstick.

The consistency feels smooth on the lips, however it isn't a very creamy lipstick.

As for lasting time I find most lip products will last a good amount of time without talking, eating etc so it really depends person to person unless it's a long lasting product.

A problem I have with this lipstick is the packaging, because of the way it's designed you can twist it up and down with the cap on so it's very easy to nick the top which is what happened to mine.

This product does have a scent, to me it smells somewhat fruity and like candy, I personally like the scent.

Advantages

Inexpensive

Not drying

Not tested on animals

Scent


Disadvantages

Poor design

Overall I do think this is a fairly good lipstick especially for the price.

    It is a nice shade.

    @Maria

    e.l.f has a few good items, it's kind of hit & miss. :)

    @Beauty Blogger Bri

    I have a few of those too, they're ok, I'm not a big fan! :)

    @Sari

    I know what you mean!

    You can find some of their stuff at Target, and dollar stores.

  14. The colors are nice but I do agree with you that this isn't the most moisturizing lipstick out there~I own the Seductive one:)

  15. @DeyiMizu

    Yeah, but it's easily fixed by applying lip balm underneath! :)
