These were a touchy item for me when I first received them. If you watched my elf haul, then you will already know the dealio so I won't go into it too much. All I will say, is that the online swatches/images of these products are incredibly inaccurate and they look absolutely nothing like they do online. So much so, I thought they had sent me the wrong shades.
After getting past the shock of the actual colours of these lipsticks, I gave them a chance, and wasn't as disappointed as I thought I would be. The colours are still not what I had hoped for, but I do like them more than I thought I would.

The mineral lipsticks are incredible smooth and easy to apply. The overall application of them, I think depends on the shade. As you can see above, Natural nymph is a little streaky and I found it difficult to get an completly opaque finish. The two pinks on the other hand, applied much better and a lot less streaky.
Unfortunately, I don't think I will be reaching for Natural nymph too often as I feel it's a little to light for my skintone. It does tend to make me look a little ill/dead. Again, the pinks on the other hand are pleasant colours.
All of these shades apply glossy and smooth, I put that down to the added 'exoctic oils' in the product.
These lipsticks are 100% mineral based. They contain no parabens, no preservatives and no chemical dyes. Although this is great, this could also be why these lipsticks don't really pack that punch I was hoping for.
In the few times I have worn these, I've found the wear time to be ok, but not fantastic. I find they can slip off the lips easily and regular reapplication is needed.

These are nice lipsticks, but I wouldn't say that they're ground breaking.
I don't think I will be purchasing any more of these, but they are the only elf product I've been disappointed with so far.
