E.L.F. Mineral Lipstick

Last time I ordered from eyeslipsface.com was supposed to be just for my cousin and sister but I just can't help myself and I ended up purchasing more products for myself. (T▽T) cheap makeup is addicting.




Cool Coral, Runaway pink, and natural nymph.



These lipsticks arrived packaged in a cardboard box, with visible color outside/ the color outside looks misleading don't they?



L-R: Natural Nymph, Runaway Pink, Cool Coral

I know that swatches online are different from the actual product but cool coral was something I didn't expect. Looking at the swatches online cool coral was the most orangey but it looks closer to red than orange.

and swatches....
L-R: Natural Nymph, Runaway Pink, Cool Coral

so I guess on my swatches Cool Coral has a orangey undertone but still I was hoping for closer to orange. (* ̄m ̄) 


so on the website it says:  "Now you can hydrate your lips and get a lasting soft color naturally! This nourishing blend of exotic oils, natural waxes, vitamins and plant extracts create the perfect moisturizing formula. The sleek lipstick has superior color payoff, glides easily onto lips, and is long wearing. Lips stay perfectly hydrated and soft throughout the day for no fuss, lip loving happiness. All our mineral makeup is 100% mineral based with no parabens, no preservatives and no chemical dyes.
" - eyeslipsface.com

Pros:
-> Pigmentation is good (similar to NYX round lipstick)
-> color is buildable
-> creamy (again similar to NYX's but not too creamy)
-> Affordablity (cost $5 each)
-> Not drying
-> does not have a weird lipstick taste
-> No chemical etc. 

Cons:
-> Last 3-4 hours (or as long as you do not eat/drink)
-> Availability (can only be purchased online)
-> Color OL is different from actual shade.

Aside from the shade Cool Coral, I was happy with my lipstick purchase.

NYX Round Lipstick



NYX roundlipstick in 620:Paris, 595:Strawberry Milk, 522:Circe

I bought my first 4 NYX lipsticks at cherryculture: Circe, strawberrymilk, harmonica, and summerlove. Circe is probably my favorite among all four, while harmonica is the least. (not pictured: summerlove, harmonica)

What I like:
-> Very pigmented
-> Cheap
-> wide selection of shades
-> can be found at my local Ulta
-> it does not dry my lips

What I dont like:
-> Swatches online are very different from the actual product
-> It has a taste, almost soapy? cant really describe
-> It emphasize dry lines
-> It does not last all day


Overall I really like this product, the taste does not bother me since I've had the same issues with my Estee and VS lipsticks. 

Bad thing is that my local Ulta does not carry a lot of the colors, and of course being me... the shades I want are the shades Ulta does not carry.
