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

I bought this in Dream. It's a very natural color, almost super sheer, barely there pink that gives me just enough color that you can see I do have lips (I have no color in my lips). It smells very sweet and has a sweet but waxy taste. It's perfect for every day use and very subtle. I don't see any shimmer, unless I'm in direct sunlight. This is probably my husband's favorite. I don't like the doefoot applicator, but whatever. It goes on smoothly. I haven't had any problems. Keep in mind that it's lip gloss. You'll need to reapply frequently because it's gloss, not lipstick. If you want staying power use lipstick.

I really don't like this gloss. It is sticky, not at all pigmented, and in general a bad product. I could have received a dud, but still. I ordered the shade "Love" and it came off as a light pinkish tint on my lips. Their Ex-Tra Lip Gloss is much better.

I have yet to use this lovely looking stuff, as when I pulled the applicator out.. all there was, was a stick.. the pad came off .. inside the bottle ( ELF as ever, is already sending its replacement, so hoping I can comment on the item itself soon) there is never a problem, with that... but.... This is not the first time the container has been the failure ... some revamps on that score, are in order.

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 am extremely disappointed in these lip glosses I had purchased all of them except love because it was sold out. when I tried it on the I couldn't get over how hard the brushes were on each one. there was absolutely no pigmentation in any of them even after I applied more than enough coats! I will not be repurchasing these at all.
