Elle 18 Mulberry Splash Color Pops Lipstick Review

Hello Ladies!

Today, I’ll be sharing a lipstick from the very famous brand, Elle 18. Perhaps, this review will teach you how NOT to:
1. Shop blindly and quickly.
2. Add product to your cart only because it qualifies you order as ‘free shipping’.
3. Pick up a product just because you like the name and packaging of it.
4. Buy a lipstick without doing much research.
5. Picking it up just because it falls in the category of ‘under INR 150’.

By now, you must’ve guessed that this product is going to be a super dud. Let’s just read why exactly I call it a dud!

Price:

INR 120-150. I got it for around INR 130.

My experience on Elle 18 Mulberry Splash Color Pops Lipstick:

Packaging: Elle 18 lipsticks come in a very classic black plastic packaging with a girl in pink printed over it. The plastic isn’t sturdy. It cracks as soon as it hits the ground, I have experienced it. The rotating/retractable mechanism works very well and the cap shuts with a click. The sticker at the bottom displays the shade number and name. It isn’t colour coded so it’s difficult to find the shade you’re looking for quickly. Also, there is no list of ingredients mentioned anywhere on the packaging.

Colour/Pigmentation: Here comes the major con. The colour is really very weird purple-lilac shade. It has some shimmer in it, which makes it all the more weird. I don’t know why it looks so good in the swatches, when in reality it makes my lips look dead and rotten. It also makes me look like a chain smoker(I hate smokers, by the way).

This lipstick is perfect to wear on Halloween or for scaring someone. The pigmentation is okay-ish. Three or more swipes are required to cover up the entire lips. But, really, looking at the shade, would you even care about the pigmentation?

Texture: The texture is smooth enough. It doesn’t tug or pull on the lips. But, it isn’t the creamiest lipstick in the world. If you happen to have very smooth and freshly ex foliated lips, you might feel the shimmer too. It provides moisture to the lips as long as it’s on the lips. When you wipe it off, your lips feel dry. It’s not at all hydrating.

Staying Power: This one stays on your lips for 3 hours with fading, obviously. It transfers very easily. It fades with a snack/drink/meal. Hence, not a big fan of the staying power either. When it fades, some shimmer is left behind. As if the lipstick wasn’t ugly enough to make your lips look horrible.

Smell/Taste: Hate the smell. Not a fan of it’s taste too. All Elle 18 Lipsticks have the same smell to them, which is very irritating. This one’s not as bitter as Wildberry Wet, but still, I don’t like it.

IMBB Rating:

0 / 5

Final Verdict:

A lipstick is supposed to make your lips look super awesome. Not to make them look dead/rotten/like a smoker’s lips etc. I’d recommend other shades for sure, because Elle 18 lipsticks are a decent buy for the money you pay. But, this one is a complete waste of 150 bucks! Stay way from it ladies!
