e.l.f. Cosmetics Shimmer Lip Gloss, Dream, 0.088 oz

Since I reviewed this gloss before, I've completely changed my mind. After trying multiple different products, I actually kept coming back to this, and with others to compare it to, I've realized that I actually kind of love this stuff! The fact that it isn't overly pigmented is actually helpful. It allows you to go subtle or build color. When used as a base, it makes an excellent foundation for other products. I love layering this with the Super Glossy Lip Shine (for SPF and extra shine) and the Pout Perfecter for extra sparkle and dimension. It's also really easy to touch up and reapply on the go, and it lasts longer than most other glosses I've tried. I judged this way too quickly, and I'm glad I didn't just throw it out because now, I'm stocking up and using this all the time!

I liked this gloss, but I didn't love it. It was somewhat thick and sticky, which is expected of a gloss, and a little bit drying, which is also expected. I loved the shimmer, shine, and sparkle of it, but the colors just didn't work for me. They were a little too yellow/orange to work with my skin tone, whereas I look better in straight pinks. They weren't terrible, but they weren't great. If the colors were more flattering on me, I'd probably give it four stars.

I have the shade "inspire," and it very natural looking. This lip gloss is very light and actually not too sticky. I love this gloss. It is very sparkly in the tube, but once I applied it, it didn't have an over the top, I just rolled in glitter look.

I just got this today, and I can already tell a few things. First of all, it's pretty sticky. The color isn't what it looks like on the site, and it's a bit more shimmery than I expected, but it's not really a bad thing. The color is overall kind of sheer, mostly fine shimmer, but the color is definitely there. It smells 'sweet' and doesn't taste foul. Pretty good product overall.

I got this in a bundle with other products so I did not get to chose which color I wanted. I recieved the one called "Hope". This color is redish pink; more red then pink I would say. It is absolutely beautiful and shiny with a little bit of sparkle. I love it so much but the packaging is flimsy and the cap broke for me, other wise its an amazing product.
