I recently purchased two lipglosses from e.l.f cosmetics. I have one Hypershine Lipgloss and one Liquid Lipstick. So here, I will discuss my first impressions of these two products!

| Liquid Lipstick in "Perfect Pink" |
 |
| Hypershine Gloss in "Fairy" |
I really enjoy the packaging of each of these lipglosses. I think the tube looks sleek, and it definitely isn't bulky. I also love when packaging allows me to see the actual color of the product. I think these go pretty on par with what to expect from drugstore looks, but I do think they feel quite sturdy. I don't think they will be breaking on me any time soon!

As soon as I swatched the Hypershine Gloss, I was smitten. It's so shiny! Usually when I buy products that make a claim to be extremely glossy or shiny, I disregard it. Lipgloss is lipgloss, right? Not exactly. This was definitely shiny! Now, the swatch on my hand does tend to make this lipgloss look pretty pigmented, but it went on my lips rather sheer. But, it's a lipgloss, not a lipstick, so I don't find that to be a problem. If I want a shiny color, I can put this over a lipstick and get the desired affect. My lips looked insanely glossy, and it helped created a "perfect pout."
As for the Liquid Lipstick, I was also impressed with this product! You can see from the swatch it is significantly pinker than "Fairy" and not quite as shiny. Now, I was under the impression that it would go on and look like a lipstick, but I think the photo of the swatch does reflect the fact that it still is a gloss. It's not quite as shiny as "Fairy," but it still has a gorgeous sheen to it. There also isn't any glitter in the formula, so it's just a shine you're putting on your lips, not an explosion of glitter. On the lips, the color transfers well. It does sheer out a bit, but it definitely coats your lips and gives a subtle, yet beautiful color.
Each of these products would be ideal for every day wear. They're perfect glosses! Each of them retail for $1.00! You can't beat that!

| Luscious Liquid Lipstick Applicator |
 |
| Hypershine Gloss Applicator |
The applicators on these two products are very different. While each product features a standard twist-up style, the actual applicator varies. The liquid lipstick has a doe foot applicator. When you twist the product up, it starts to come out in little "bubbles." By bubbles, I mean that it starts to come out in various small, circular places. I find that this applicator is very easy to work with, and enhances the ease of use for this product. It's a thick and chubby applicator. It covers my lips in one swipe, and I don't really have to work with the product. It's very easy and carefree. I can just swipe this on my lips and go! It's very fast and (at the risk of sounding redundant) very easy!
The Hypershine Gloss features the standard brush tip applicator. I know I should have realized this in the store (since the cap is clear and everything), but I didn't! I was extremely disappointed since I opened this product second. I really enjoyed the fat doe foot applicator of the other, and brush applicators just just too tedious for me. I know, I know...I'm lazy. But, whatever! I have my preferences! Luckily, I enjoyed the color a lot and am willing to sacrifice not having the chubby doe foot applicator, and suffer through brush application for the pretty shine!
Well, those are my first impressions for the e.l.f. lip products! I enjoyed them right off the bat, and am hoping the staying power will surprise me, too. Guess we'll have to wait and see! ;)
Have you tried any e.l.f. products that have really impressed you lately?
