Third case of not-so-matte finish: Elf Studio Matte lip colours 🙂
My first experience with the line was Natural, then Tea Rose when I was looking for NARS El Agua dupes.
I like the formula (supposed to be enriched with Vitamin A, C and E for hydration), the twistup format (plus a sharpener at the end) and the colour range.
Because the finish was not truly matte, I did not get any more shades until this Mad for Matte holiday set with 4 best selling shades – Dash of Pink, Berry Sorbet, Cranberry and Rich Red.
A bold bunch on the red side, I would say, festively appropriate for the holidays.
The undertone of Dash of Pink and Cranberry is very similar, then add some red pigments and we have the fabulous Rich Red 🙂
Berry Sorbet, with that berry tone, is the darker sheep in the group but still not significantly different.
I enjoy the colours in this set but maybe need a neutral in there. They are easy to wear, wear pass lunch and a few drink of tea/ water. I am happy overall.
The set was $10 on Elf website (LE but the shades are still available individually, $3 each), CAD15 at Old Navy. I had a 50% off coupon before the holiday, great score!
