Sadly, some of the shades I wanted were out of stock, so may pop into the shop and buy them at full price.
Cool Coral - Described on the website as hydrating and long lasting colour for your lips, and I must agree the lipstick itself is very hydrating. Can be applied straight to the lip without the need to prime, and keeps your lips feeling smooth and hydrated once it has been applied, almost like a thick lip balm. The colour has a warm coral tone, and luckily for me not too much on the orange side as I personally feel that strong orange/coral tones wash me out. However the shade has a metallic after finish to it which I wasn't expecting from the pictures online. I think this will be a great shade to try out in the sun.
Pink Minx - Described on the website as a velvety, satin texture that glides on the lips with vibrant colour and luminous shine. Although this did glide on the lips, it glided on a bit too easily, and left a luminous shine but I must admit it actually felt cheap once it was on. The colour is best described as muted rose on the box and online, however once I put it on it looked paler than expected, but also like "plastic" and felt like it sat on my lips rather than become part of my lips and overall make up look. I am disappointed with this one and doubt I will use it again.
Rosy Go Round - This shade came from the same lipstick range as Pink Minx, however it sits miles apart. The shade is best described as a deep rosy pink, which glides easily on the lips and immediately takes on the satin texture described on the website. This formula is described as rich and creamy, and this time round I can full heartedly agree, it applies smoothly and stays in place without the need to prep the lip beforehand, but also doesn't dry the lip out throughout the day. Of all the lipsticks this one has got to be my favourite, and I can see this lipstick joining my daily collection that I carry around as it stays on the lips for a few hours without the need to re-apply and offers the best colour pay-off.
Overall I love Rosy Go Round and would recommend this as purchase, but was disappointed by Pink Minx, while Cool Coral sits in the middle, as I'm still not 100% sure on wearing coral tones for myself, but if you like those tones I would recommend it for you.
Considering the price for these, ranging from £3.95 to £5.00 I would say it's worth giving a few shades a go, might find a new shade you haven't considered before can actually suit you!
I'm looking forward to wearing the two shades over the next few weeks, and will probably go to my local e.l.f shop and buy a few more, as long as they applied on the lips llike Rosy Go Round.
Have you tried any of their lipsticks or shades? What are your thoughts?
Till next time
