These lipsticks come in numerous shades ranging from extreme light to extreme bright and dark. I brought 4 of these: Hot Pink, Rusty, Wildberry Wet and Grape Rain. Today I will share my views on the darkest of these all: Grape Rain.

My take on the Elle 18 Color Pops Lipstick – Grape Rain

After reading the name Grape Rain, anyone can easily guess the color and the color gives full justice to the name. Grape Rain is dark purple color with little silver shimmers in it. The lipstick is extremely affordable and is of good quality. I loved the color when I bought it, but when I applied it I realized that it’s not an easy color to carry. The shimmers in the lipstick is not a major problem for me as due to its dark color I would only be using it in parties during the night time and I don’t mind shimmers on such occasions.

The thing I like the most in these lipsticks is the amazing fragrance, some people may dislike the fact that it smells like cocoa butter but I love it. When I brought it, I  continuously opened the cap just to smell the product. The fact that it contains cocoa butter makes it extremely soft and easy to apply, lips do feel a little dry after removing the lipstick but while the lipstick is on, it feels like you have applied a lip butter. Another little point I would like to share is that the shimmers becomes a little difficult to remove. Even after the lipstick is removed, the shimmer particles can be seen on the lips.

As I mentioned earlier, the packaging is all black and the cap is round at the top. I like the packaging for its cuteness but I am not very comfortable with such kind of packaging as it becomes difficult to select the desired color. Another way of getting the selected color is keeping the lipstick upside down but this is not possible with this due to the curved cap. The lipstick cannot stand upside-down.
The staying power of the lipstick is also fine. It can stay for a good amount of time if you do not eat anything, but after having dinner the color from the centre of the lips fades giving it an ombre effect and eating further converts the lipstick into a lip liner (lipstick can only be seen on the edges of the lips)
