Can’t Get Beyond the Smell

The smell is terrible and the color is way off from the picture. I ordered Joyful and it is such a chalky light pink that it looks almost white. I would not buy this again.

Happy Hydration

I love these lip balms. My favorite go-to shade is Happy. These give your lips a perfect flush of color while keeping your lips smooth and hydrated.

Very pretty

It feels good on the lips and makes them very smooth although you have to scrub your lips before using as it brings out the dead skin a lot

really good black honey dupe

love it, create to pair with a lip liner and stays long, very light feeling like a lip balm

Beautiful

Very hydrating nice with lip pencil. Love the colors

Very good quality

I bought this yesterday and can’t stop using it also love the quality

Buildable but not moisturizing

This has great pigment and it’s buildable. It gives lips a smooth appearance. My only complaint is that it doesn’t last that long and can dry out lips.

SO BAD! IN EVERY WAY WRONG, NOT RIGHT IN ANY WAY

firstly, expected transparent to semi transparent , reality highly pigmented. what's gutting is this could turn out to be a bad thing because the shade was wrong wrong wrong. absolutely way off completely different to online colour swatches (vile unflattering bright orange yuk in contrast to the advertised soft semi pink cool toned soft red. therefore 'highly pigmented' ends up a bad thing also due to shade being so way off/ completely different to every expectation instilled by elf on the product page. the last thing I'd want from a hideous unflattering shade is high density unflattering colour. which then (also unfortunately) migrates and smears all over the place, way outside the lipline within minutes of applying one single stroke of product to the very centre of top lip only. this however is nothing compared to hydrating core formula's biggest baddest in yer face 'pow feature' (baddest: as in genuinely bad , not good) the far and away worst and sadly defining feature is one that makes this product literally unusable for me and I'm struggling for words to do this feature justice... (it's really that bad) smell/taste is absolutely diabolical: think plastic artificial fruit, literally made me heave and this one point on its own is genuinely SO bad even if everything else about it was amazing and perfect, I'd still struggle to use it t cos it's that 'that bad' it sets me off heaving. and its strong enough that not only the wearer can smell it! so anyway, now i have just had an epiphany: i can actually review "hydrating core" (entire product line) pretty much in two word in total. [one word other than for explaining to you the reader how to successfully apply said word to 'hydrating core lip shine' to do the product justice. apply to all aspects of hydrating core lip shine formula to sum up and do it (semi) Justice. honest review: concise version. product: Hydrating Core Lip Shine: so what can i tell you? totally STINKS . have tested multiple shade and can confirm its not just any one shade or a bad batch, but the hydrating core formula line: (stinks!) really: very unfortunate
