Review: E.L.F Studio Matte Lip Colors! (New Shades!)

The Most Affordable Matte Lip!

 E.L.F Studio Matte Lip Colors! (New Shades!)
Matte lips are quickly becoming my favorite finish... for now! ;-) Like I've said before, the formula is something that can be hit or miss so I'm a fan of trying a few brands to see which is the best. Today I'm reviewing the E.L.F Studio Matte Lip Colors which can be found at Target, Walmart and eyeslipsface.com. Each lip color retails for $3 but more often than not you can find a coupon code for 50% off the entire site, so I manged to get them for only $1.50 each

E.L.F recently released three new shades (last three in the pic above!) which I have to review too but... as I'm writing this I checked the site and they are no longer available. They weren't labeled as limited edition so my guess is that they're sold out and hopefully E.L.F will be bringing them back soon. If you like them just continue to check the site every once in a while!

Let's start with the OG colors first! I wanted to try out some neutral colors because I'm currently on the hunt for the perfect lip color for my wedding day which is coming up very soon! ^__^  And I just had to order a true red because there's nothing better than a matte red lip!

Now we have the new shades! These shades are so perfect for fall, and I have a feeling that they have been reformulated. They went on a lot smoother and creamier than the original colors so I highly recommend these! Here are the lip swatches:

*Natural- a peachy pink nude, pretty but the formula tugged a bit upon application. Some gloss would be ideal with this color so it feels more comfortable.
*Tea Rose- A mauve pink, gorgeous shade but same formula as the first one. But... this color is amazing so I might overlook the dryness and just apply some lip balm beforehand haha.
*Rich Red- a bright cherry red, not the vampy color we've all seen on my my blog haha. I love this one! It's so flattering and the formula is more hydrating than the other two, must have!

*Fuchsia- a more magenta pink, really pretty and the smoothest of them all! But... it didn't dry matte, had a glossier finish to it and was also kinda sheer. Still a lovely shade but makes the line seem so inconsistent as far as formula.
*Wine- a reddish plum shade... actually wine is the perfect way to describe it! My favorite from the line! Has the best formulation, stays on all day and your lips just look good enough to eat with this color, love!
*Cranberry- a deeper red in the swatch but goes on a bit sheer, not as bad as fuchsia but the difference in opacity is noticeable. Still a beautiful shade!

Bottom line: My favorite colors are Tea Rose and Wine, those you need to get asap! The price point is amazing, by far the most affordable matte lip in the market. The line entirely is a bit hit and miss, but at that price you can really argue haha. For a quick lip this product is perfect! Plus idk if you guys knew but the color cap at the bottom is actually a sharpener! ;-) Check out my previous posts for more reviews on matte lipsticks!
