elf Glossy LipGloss Wild Watermelon Review & Swatches

Heya Girlies,

I had bought a few elf goodies along with a friend long back and its only now that I got around to using them. elf is an American drugstore brand which got popular for their dollar range and while I wasn’t too impressed with it but I sure have had a great experience with their other products. Today I’ll be reviewing a lovely gloss form their range called elf Glossy Gloss Wild Watermelon.

Product Description
Looking for ultra shine without the shimmer? Glossy Gloss is here! Our high shine, pigmented Glossy Gloss delivers a beautiful sheen and a rich tint of color to your pout. Great for wearing alone or over your favorite e.l.f. Cosmetics lipstick, lip pencil, or any lip color for a vivid gloss effect. The Vitamin E infused formula provides intense hydration and moisture, for lip pucker perfection!

Price: $3
Quantity: 0.24oz

Packaging
The elf Glossy Gloss comes in a plastic square lipgloss packaging which is packaged in a black cardboard box(not shown in pics) It has a very unique applicator as unlike the other glosses which come with a doe foot wand this comes with a tiny brush for application which is of good quality. I quite like the packaging as it is simple, travel friendly and easily identifiable.

Shade
elf Glossy Gloss Wild Watermelon is a juicy mid toned pink with a slight coral undertone. I totally adore such pinks as they look very flattering on all complexions despite being a wee bit bright. This along with Maybelline Lip Polish Glam 9 has been my absolute favorite this season. I didn’t really like any other shades in the elf glossy gloss range but Wild Watermelon is definitely worth checking out.

Texture
The elf Glossy Lipgloss has a creamy and buttery texture which is quite hydrating. This does not settle into fine lines but does feel a wee bit sticky. I absolutely adore the intense glossy finish as it adds more lusciousness and oomph to my pout!

Pigmentation
Elf Wild Watermelon gives a sheer wash of color in one stroke which is very wearable and suitable for college. You can build up the pigmentation by layering the lipgloss which hides lip pigmentation but will not give an opaque coverage. If you suffer from heavy pigmentation then you will definitely require a lipstick underneath.

Staying Power
This gloss has a decent wear time and stays put for 2-3 hours which is pretty good for a lipgloss. Since it has a slightly sticky texture, it results into a better staying power compared to other sheer glosses. Ofcourse, I have to touch it up after a meal or drinks but that is an issue I face with all glosses.

Availability
Elf products aren’t available in India which is the only and biggest issue I have. It is available on B2N which ships to India but shipping charges are really high. For $3 this is an absolutely fabulous deal and incase you have a relative/friend coming from USA then you MUST give it a try.
Pros
1) A very pretty and juicy pink lipgloss which is a must have shade in every girl’s kitty.
2) Creamy and hydrating texture
3) Gives a glossy finish which adds to alot of oomph to the pout
4) Decent staying power and stays put for 2-3 hours
5) Well pigmented and hides moderate pigmentation of lips when layered
6) Very easy on the pocket

Cons
1) Availability is a big issue in India
2) Its slightly sticky in texture
