Quick Review: elf Studio Minty Lip Gloss in New York City

Yes, another elf post! I ordered from them like 4 months ago and have quite a backlog of products still to post about. This lipgloss is... just okay. I wasn't blown away by it, but I'll probably wear it occasionaly. I think I would like it better if it was from the $1 line versus the $3 Studio line. It just feels cheap. The cap is just difficult enough to get off to be annoying. It doesn't twist off well but kind of squeaks along, if that makes sense. The gloss is definitely minty and makes my lips tingle. Those who are sensitive to mint probably won't like it. I normally love mint but don't really care for the smell of this. This gloss is petroleum based and I can smell the chemical-ness of the petroleum under the mint.
The gloss itself looks nice, although it is more sheer than I was expecting. It has a pretty shimmer that doesn't make the gloss feel gritty. Probably because of the texture- thick and a bit sticky. It isn't my favorite texture in a gloss, but it's okay. I don't think I would buy another of these glosses because they're a bit boring and the smell and texture aren't my favorite. On a scale of dog turds to fairy dust, this one gets a solid rating of grass clippings (AKA it is just mediocre). Sorry, I'm weird, haha.

  2. I have three of these glosses. I love they way they look! My one complaint was how little product was there. 4 uses and I was 1/3 through the tube.
