Review: Maybelline Iridescent Shine Color Elixir in Enthralling Nude!

A Graceful Shimmer!

When the new year comes I become the giddiest person alive because all you see at the drugstores are NEW products! That's when you have to have the will power to just pick and choose the ones worth trying (very difficult I must add!) This year I'm getting into glosses, it hasn't been my most reached for item before but all the new releases tempted me to try them! Maybelline has anaddition to their Elixir line with a bunch of pretty shades. I only picked up one *pats herself on the back* and it's amazing! They were $7.99 at my local Walgreens.

These are called the Maybelline Iridescent Shine Color Elixirs and I have the color Enthralling Nude. Just a little background on my taste: I prefer opaque, colorful glosses. With that being said I wanted something different, more of a topper and this one is perfect! Now, the name says it's iridescent but honestly I didn't notice much of anything. The color is still really pretty, has a slight micro-shimmer but other than that it's no different from the original elixirs.

Being a gloss it actually has pretty descent lasting power! Your lips stay shiny for a good 4-5 hours depending on what you're doing of course.It's such a comfortable formula, thick but not sticky! The packaging is just the same as the original line, sleek and utterly adorable!

 The wand makes the application so easy, I'm a huge fan of these tear drop wands!

Here's what the color looks like! It's a lovely nude, leans more peachy and the shimmer adds a little something special to the gloss. I've used it alone and over lipsticks and trust me when I say it looks exceptional both ways!

Here's what it looks like on! Kinda hard to get a picture but I did my best haha. 

Bottom line: The Elixir formula is one of my favorites, so I highly recommend you give them a try if you haven't already! If you're expecting some cool duo chrome action from these, sadly it's not gonna happen, at least not with the nude shade haha. But it's still a beautiful color and when paired with a smokey eye even better! :-)
