Again! I am so excited that e.l.f. is doing and continuing this Disney collection! Snow White isn't my favorite princess by any means but I have to say the artwork and other aesthetics put into this collection are really nice. I really like the shadow book that came out with this collection but I think they missed the mark with the lips.
This comes with a lip stain, lip gloss, and a balm in a pot.
Here they are swatched with flash on the top and in natural light under neath. All of the reds will give you more of a cherry red lip than a rosy or naturally red lip.
The best in the kit is the lip stain. It is in the shade Crimson Crush (misspelled on the label by the way). It goes on very evenly, which can be hard for lip stains. It is a darker, blue toned red. It doesn't have any scent besides the slight inky smell that a lot of stains have.
Next in the kit is a lip gloss in the shade Ruby Kiss. When first swatched I though this was so pretty. You could see subtle purple sparkles in it agains the dark red, but it would NOT swatch evenly! Parts are vey chunky and others are slightly translucent. I tried to capture the uneven consistency and texture in this photo. It is in the middle.
Let me also add that this smells absolutely DISGUSTING! It smells similarly to Bengay and even slightly smells like tar! I couldn't even put this on to see if it was prettier on the lips...
Last is the balm in a jar in the shade Berry. This is very pretty on the lip. It is moisturizing and is very glossy but the berry shade is visible enough to give you that Snow White pucker. Unfortunately it does not wear well. I had to reapply it once I got into the car, so maybe after an hour without eating. It would be a nice addition to my purse though for touch ups when my lips feel dry.
Over all 2/3 of this was nice enough to get. I believe this retailed for $4.99 so that may be worth it to some. I would immediately toss out that lip gloss though.
So excited to see what is next!
