L Classy R Gypsy

These lipstick are only £1.50 each which is pretty good. Classy is a muted pink. It lies between a dark and medium. Gypsy is more of a purple toned pink although in my swatches it looks fluorescent for some reason. It may be the light hitting it. I love textures of both of these. They are highly pigmented and not drying. I have really dry lips so finding lipsticks which don't dry my lips out and gather in the cracks is a mission.

I haven't tried any lipsticks from ELF's normal range before as I thought they would be cheap and most cheap lipsticks dry out my lips. These don't and stay put for a long time. Which is always a bonus.

I've been trying to venture into more in your face lip shades recently after consuming too many nudes for my likeing. Classy makes me think of a darker MAC 'Creme Cup' but without the blue reflects. Gypsy looks purple but on skin goes to a dark bright pink, if that is possible? I guess is a fuchsia berry colour. It's hard to tell from the swatch.  It can be used sheer or build it up for a Matt finish. The swatches on the website doesn't do any justice and I did search for swatches before picking the colours.

I've worn Classy today and it's becoming one of my favourite lipsticks.

The scent of the lipsticks aren't over powering and smell more like a fruit. I'm surprised they don't have that tangy taste that other cheap lipsticks have. They are very pleasant to wear.
