 absolute and utter crap. i love a bargain, and some cheapie products have become holy grails for me, but the formulation of this product leaves *everything* to be desired.
it can be used on the eyes, lips and cheeks, but if you ask me, its not good for any of the above. the texture straight out of the tube is pleasant enough. it has the consistency of a slightly sticky gloss crossed with one of those mousse products that are all the rage right now.
as a lip gloss, it doesnt apply well. its very hard to get the pigment even, and it left me thinking that the formulation was best suited to the eyes and cheeks. wrong. its too sticky to use as a blush. the amount of pigment is good for this task, but if left me feeling like i had spread lip gloss on my cheeks. it never sank on and left a horrid sticky film that thankfully wore away within a few hours.
as an eye product, it creases horribly. i didnt expect that it wouldnt, so im not too upset about that. most eye glosses have more of a vaseline consistency. while that doesnt make for great staying power, at least its not torturously sticky on the lids like this was. there was not enough pigment for even a sheer wash of color to show up.
i really wanted to like this product, but its too sticky for the eyes and cheeks, and not sticky enough for the lips. im not too interested in trying any more elf products.
