e.l.f. Mineral Lipstick review

Why e.l.f.?

I bought this as one of my first lipsticks, and I wanted it to be settle. It wasn't expensive and I wanted to purchase from e.l.f. any way. The lipstick color is "Party Pink" from the Mineral line. On the e.l.f. online store, it had many 'likes' so I figured, that if I wanted any, it should be from that line.

The container:

It comes in a little square shaped container. with a twist-up function. Like any other lipstick. 
When I pick it up, it feels quite plasticy and cheap, but I've gotten used to not judging my products from the packaging. 
So when I got it I was excited about trying it, because it had that many likes. And it had great recommendations on youtube and on the internet. 
Below is a swatch of the lipstick on my hand. The color is really pretty and natural on the lips. 


Application:

Sooo.... Clean lips first off. 
Done that I applied the lipstick. It was very easy to apply and I didn't have to be very careful with the precision due to the natural and settle color. And that natural and settle lip color, does not live up to the name "Party Pink".... But it felt creamy and moisturizing and really nice on my lips. so I must admit I was impressed, and I still am, because it doesn't dry out my lips, like the Rimmel London Moisture Renew. So for that price, it definitely deserves credit for its quality. 

But the staying power didn't impress me though. It didn't really stay on for as long as I thought it would and needs to be re-applied not long time after first application. 

My opinion:

In my opinion this is a great starter lipstick, both due to price, but also the settle color and the creamy consistency, which is easy to work with.
I'd give it 3,5 out of 5 stars. 3,5 and not 4, because of the poor staying power, but still 3,5 and not 3, because of the lovely and workable consistency.

I hope this little review was somehow useful for some of you. :-)
