E.l.f Mineral Lipstick- Nicely Nude

Hello everyone, hope everyone is looking forward to the weekend! I am only working on Sunday which is quite nice for a change. I'm glad though because I have a really bad cold so I'm not feeling well at all and would rather not be speaking for 16 hours over the whole weekend!

Today I'm bringing you a lipstick which I'm pretty surprised that I haven't mentioned before. This is E.l.f Mineral Lipstick in Nicely Nude. First off, this is NOT a nude. Maybe they mean nude as in a bare lips/understated lipstick, who knows but I think it's quite misleading. It's a really pretty pink colour and depending on your colouring it could look slightly peachy. It's such a gorgeous colour and it could literally be used for any occasion.



I thought that maybe this could be a dupe for MAC Angel, but realised it is a lot warmer than that and it really makes the blue undertones in Angel stand out when it is swatched next to it! As someone who has a lot of yellow undertones in my skin, I find it quite hard to find a pink lipstick which doesn't have cool undertones. However, this one is brilliant so I would really recommend it to those who have a warm skin tone.





The formula feels very dry, just like Angel come to think of it. Maybe it's because it's a mineral product? Who knows. However it would be fine with a bit of balm or gloss on top!

This lipstick is £3.50 from e.l.f cosmetics. If you 'like' their facebook page, they alwayyyys have brilliant offers on!

Are you a fan of these lipsticks? Have you tried e.l.f's lipsticks from their regular line? If so, are they drying too?

Lots of love

p.s. I hope you like the photos from my new camera! I'm still trying to find out what way is the best way to take a self-portrait, bit of a nightmare!

Also, also... Does anyone have any ideas on what videos I could film? I'm going to have a bash on Monday or Tuesday if my voice is better, so ideas please! :)

  4. I bought two of there lipstick a few weeks ago when they had there 50% offer on, and i got the ELF mineral lipstick, the colours were so different from the website though, i got a pink that was a lot lighter than expected, there great little lipsticks and they go on so great, they do for the day time if you want to add a hint of colour.

    I do love the colour of the one you have on, i suppose at £3.50 you can't go wrong can you :)

  7. The only ELF product i've tried is runway pink - i love it. i've heard the swatches are very different to the lipsticks in RL so im hesitant about buying! I have the same problem as you - i have a very yellow undertone to my skin. But this looks great, a nice nude, everyday lipstick, it looks lovely on you. http://openboxjewels.blogspot.com/ X

  8. Ooh I like this colour! I've never tried ELF lipsticks, although I want to! It really suits you! I'm very much cool-toned, so I couldn't use this lipstick which is a shame! xx

  13. You have the perfect warm skin shade to wear this colour, I couldn't pull it off. I still dislike ELF, drying lipsticks are so bad for the lips!

  18. I really want to try some more ELF products, the lipsticks are on my list. I've ordered from there once but I wasn't that impressed, I don't regularly use anything of the things I bought. I think I just didn't choose the right products for me though! x
