ELF Mineral Lippies

Since i've been trying to find a good nude lipstick shade lately, i decided to pick up 3 nude-ish shades along with my ELF haul. The 3 colors i went with are Natural Nymph, Runaway Pink and Nicely Nude.

I actually quite like the packaging of these lippies. They're nice and sleek and seem to be of higher quality. The lipstick names are printed on the top and they also include the logo on the side. Heres a picture! Arent they prettttty :)

and now for swatches of course :)
note - i accidentally switched the order of the lippies. my bad!

Natural Nymph - a concealer type nude shade
Nicely Nude - a rosy pink nude with gold shimmer
Runaway Pink - a lighter pink nude shade

Overall
these apply quite creamy and smoothly. the colors are pigmented and last on your lips. the only thing is, i find that they sort of settle into lines after awhile as my lips are quite dry. however, this is nothing some gloss or lipbalm wont fix :) However, do note that these lippies are not as moisturizing as most others.. so if you have super dry lips, maybe pass on these..

I will be swatching these when applied on my lips as i know (at least for myself) those swatches are quite helpful.. so keep your eye out for those posts! :)

tell me, have you tried these before? if so, which ones have you tried and which are your favourites? if not, which one would you like to try?

you're welcome! out of these shades, nicely nude is my favourite <3 its kind of like a mlbb shade :)
Those are the colours that I want to try. I've always been kinda skeptical because I like to buy things like lipstick or eyeshadow when I have swatch them in person. I hope they're available in Canada soon.

I mean stop pushing crappy sets in Zellers, give us some Studio and Mineral products! LOL

i totally agree with you on that! but i couldnt resist because ELF was having their 60% off sale and i didnt want to have to pay full price (or more in stores here!) for it later haha

omgg.. zellers has ELF?!?!? or am i just dreaming hahha, so far the only place (in calgary at least) that i found has elf is winners... but maybe i need to re-visit zellers? haha omg that would be so sweet if they had studio/mineral products! the studio line is my absolute favourite from ELF <3 <3 <3
I have these and really like them, my favourite is natural nymph x

arent they just great? haha i love the nude colors :) thanks for stopping by and commenting! <3
I love ELF! and when the lipsticks originally came out in the mineral line, I grabbed nicely nude (because at the time it was the only "nude" shade they carried! i really like it, but since my lips are fairly pigmented, it doesnt show up on me very well. But it is very smooth and pretty long lasting! I REALLY want to try the natrual nymph, maybe on my next order! :)

you should! i have fairly pigmented lips as well so nicely nude shows up more of a "my lips but better" shade. if you wanted more of a "nude" shade, i'd definately recommend natural nymph as it is much more of a concealer nude which should counteract your pigmented lips.

also, if you really wanted to, you could use a concealer to conceal your lips first before applying your lipstick shade. that way, you not only get the true color of the lippie, but you also dont have to worry about the pigmentation of your lips :)
Runway Pink looks good.. I have 2 but I can only remember Party Pink. I like the colour but it's pretty drying =(
