Review: e.l.f. Super Glossy Lip Shine SPF 15 in Mauve Luxe

Hello my lovelies I hope you're all well and preparing for the weekend :) Today I'm going to review the e.l.f. Super Glossy Lip Shine SPF 15 in Mauve Luxe.  Now, I had done a review on the Super Glossy Lip Shines I have but since I got this after, I thought I'd still review it on its own.  I got the other glosses free with a promotion from elf cosmetics and I loved them so much I decided to get more and this was the first in my list.

I had this for quite a while now and have been using it a lot both with subtle make-up looks and event the more dramatic ones.  With regards to the packaging, staying power and taste, it is like the other elf lip shines I have in my collection, so please check out the review for more details on those matters.  However, I think this gives a much nicer colour pay-off than the others.  I really like the actual colour of this as it is not your average red-tinged lip gloss... it's got a nice deep red hue with a little golden shimmer, making it a perfect compliment to all make-up looks.  I like wearing it alone as well as layered on a nice red lipstick.  Here are some pictures:

I now have in mind to get Angel and Candlelight as well and at £1.50/€1.70 a pop I don't think I will harm my wallet too much will I?

Have you tried any of these lip shines ladies? Which is your favourite one?

Review: e.l.f. Super Glossy Lip Shines SPF 15

Another elf review for today :) This time, it's the Super Glossy Lip Shines SPF 15's turn. I got my first three shades free with a promotion earlier this year and have been hooked ever since!

Mine came in this cute plastic pouch but I believe normally, they come individually packed in blister packages just like the other products from elf's regular line:

The shades are (left to right), Goddess, Malt Shake & Iced Latte (this is my order of preference).

As I said earlier, I got these 3 free with a promotion when e.l.f. UK's facebook page reached 50,000 likes and they were randomly chosen for each customer.  When I took them out, I instantly loved all of them but I wasn't sure of Malt Shake and Iced Latte in terms of how they will turn out against my skin. On the other hand, I knew Goddess would look good as normally I tend to reach for similar colours.

On with the review. With regards the actual lipgloss tubes, they are made of clear plastic and have the elf logo and the product name printed in silver on the front and the ingredients on the back. They have a twist off transparent cap and a slating tip out which you squeeze the product. Although the packaging may look cheap, I actually like it as I can see exactly which colour I am picking and also, they are convenient to carry around in any bag. Here they are pictured (top to bottom: Goodess, Malt Shake and Iced Latte) in natural light:

As for the colours, they are not dark at all! This is primarily the reason I am more of a lipgloss person rather than a lipstick person, because I like sheer shades more. Goddess is my absolute favourite as it is such a nice, warm colour and goes with everything, both alone and layered over lipsticks. Malt Shake, for me is a bit hard to describe... it's kind of a red-brown with old rose undertones. It also comes out sheer and I like to layer it on red lipsticks most. Finally Iced Latte, a warm brown shade that has some shimmer in it as well. I like this lipgloss when layered over my natural brown lipstick better than when worn alone, but overall it is a nice shade as well. From left to right: Iced Latte, Malt Shake and Goddess:

I would like to point out the fact that these are not sticky at all (they are actually bf approved :P) and last for quite a long time on my lips. I also love the sweet smell (and taste) which on the website is described as Sweet Grape. Bonus points go to the SPF 15 and the feeling of moisturized lips.

These lip glosses can be purchased from the elf cosmetics website and retail at £1.50/€1.70 each.
