REVIEW | MAYBELLINE COLOR ELIXIR


FROM TOP TO BOTTOM : MAYBELLINE COLOR ELIXIR IN 100 PETAL PLUSH, 060 NUDE ILLUSION, 040 VISION IN VOILET.


As a matte lip lover and a hater of all things sticky and messy I rarely buy lip glosses. So even though everyone seemed to love the Maybelline Color Elixirs from the very beginning (I am pretty sure they came out in late 2013) they simply didn't tickle my fancies. But as I was #feelingspendy whilst walking around the make up aisles of Target (oh America, how I miss you so) these pretty things called my name so I thought "hey, let's give these a try". I picked up three shades, two very safe and one a bit more crazy.

Yes, Maybelline definitely did good on these. Not only is the packaging very pretty, the actual product is also pretty darn good (oh and the shade selection is also brilliant). They are very smooth and hydrating on the lips, not sticky but just a tiny bit tacky, which helps them stay on longer. The pigmentation is definitely there with the bolder shades but the lighter shades don't come off quite as strong, I don't mind that at all because I prefer all glosses for topping off a beautiful lipstick - which these do very, very well. The applicator is a super soft spade shaped sponge which makes applying the product very easy.

These get two thumbs up from me, they are just beautiful. If you are looking for some glossy prettiness in your life you should give these a try, I will definitely be adding more to my collection!

//Ég er mikið fyrir mattar varir og hræðist allt klístrað og subbulegt svo ég kaupi sjaldan glossa. Allir hafa lofað Maybelline Color Elixirs glossana frá því að þeir komu fyrst út (held í enda 2013) en þeir einfaldlega heilluðu mig ekki. En meðan ég ráfaði um snyrtideildina í Target (ó elsku Ameríka) í #feelingspendy stuði, kölluðu þessar dúllur á mig og ég ákvað að gefa þeim séns. Ég körfuna fóru þrír litir, tveir "öruggir" og einn nokkuð klikkaður.

Já, Maybelline stóð sig vel með Color Elixir-in. Pakkningarnar eru ekki bara gullfallegar heldur er varan sjálf æðisleg (og litavalið er líka frábært). Glossin eru mjög mjúk og nærandi á vörunum, ekki klístruð en smá "tacky" (íslenskan er erfið..), sem hjálpar glossunum að haldast lengur á. Klikkuðu litirnir eru klárlega mjög pigmentaðir en ljósu litirnir þekja ekki alveg jafn vel, það angrar mig samt alls ekki þar sem mér finnst gloss hvorteðer lang best ofan á fallega varaliti - Color Elixir-in standa sig með prýði svoleiðis. Burstinn er mjög mjúkur spaðalagaður svampur sem er mjög auðveldur í notkun.

Þessir fallegu glossar fá tvo þumla upp frá mér, alveg æðislegir. Ef þú villt glossa lífið þitt upp þá mæli ég með þessum, ég verð allavega að bæta fleiri litum í safnið!
