e.l.f. SRSLY Satin Lipstick, Crème

I was instantly happy with the colour (pepper was the first one I ordered); I'd been looking for a simple bright red lipstick, and I also ordered Raspberry afterwards because the pinker shade appealed to me. It was a little darker than I expected but I'm still happy with it. The consistency takes a little getting used to. It's true - you can get the pigmentation with one swipe, but for the full satin effect you need to give it some work. Otherwise you end up with a matte texture, which is cool if you're into that. It also doesn't dry, which on the plus side makes it nice and hydrating, but on the other hand it comes off on everything so you have to be careful! E.l.f. products smell and feel great - they're not over-perfumed and don't smell of horrible petroleum or have a strange taste either; something that's very important to me if I'm going to be wearing it on my face most of the day rather than painting it on a canvas! I intend to order crème and taffy next for some less dramatic looks; I hope the colours deliver as pepper and raspberry do. It is very good value.
