Elle 18 Color Bombs Color Burst Lipstick Review, Photos, Swatches

I also got a Color Burst lipstick from the Elle 18 Color Bombs Range. The shade name is Spice-ginger No 11. It’s a brown –beige color. I do Not normally wear browns. But somehow the shade looked very nice in the light and indeed it is a beautiful shade.

The package reminded me of Mac as per the look. But although the package looks expensive, it is not. It is flimsy compared to the last packaging which I think was a sturdy one. Here is how it looks

Price: 100 INR I got it for around 95
Quantity : 4.3 ml ( as much as a Lakme lipstick, quite a good amount)
Shelf-life: 30 months from packed
Composition: not mentioned
What the company claims: the company claims it has cocoa butter. Apart from this nothing is there.

This is the Color Burst lipstick. Its is frosted but looks pretty on the lips. Although I don’t like brown. I don’t know why I got this color. An impulse may be.

The color payoff is okay. I guess the color pay off would be good for some lippies the way they looked. But this one is a bit sheer. Let me show you the swatches

This is a single swipe and I was left with this much of color. I don’t mind going over more than once while putting on my lips. I’ll be able to finish it sooner then: P

The product smells sweet and good. I find it quite pleasant. It is not overwhelming and goes away after a while. So, for those who cannot stand strong smells it is good for them as well.

Pros of Elle 18 Color Bombs Color Burst Lipstick

  1. They are cheap. This is a positive advantage surely. I can carry it around and lend it to friends as well (Of course I don’t lend it to every one for hygienic reasons ).
  2. The color pay off is good.
  3. The package is cute
  4. Stays on for quite some time

Otherwise there is nothing too great. But then, what more do you expect?

Cons of Elle 18 Color Bombs Color burst lipstick

  1. The package is flimsy and it feels cheap to hold in hand.
  2. All the colors are not yet available. Can’t tell if those will be available later on. I always find all the colors are never available in a single store which is definitely a disadvantage.

I can’t think of any other cons because I don’t have too high expectations from this lipstick. Serves my purpose well.

Besides, I noticed some thing. I get the feeling that is just old wine in new bottle. Only the package has changed. Because, I saw a shade called Pomegranate pie which looked exactly like the shade that was called Frutopia. Also, I found an Apple Spring(s?) which was there before. The shade Maroon Iris also looked good. The other shades are not all frosted. Only a few are frosted.Here is the Spice Ginger on my lips. Let me know if you like the shade. It looks pinkish because I took it in day light and my lips are deep pinky brownish whatever a color it is, somewhere between them. But it actually looked more brown from a distance.
