Elle 18 Color Pop Matte Lipsticks Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

I know this post has been much requested, I got the package late as it went to my old address, but finally here is the review..

Shades Available: 20

MRP: Rs.100/- (Buy HERE)

If you remember my previous Color Pop Boost Lipsticks review, I absolutely loved them! So Elle 18 came up with this matte range recently, let’s see what I think of it..

It comes in the black Elle 18 packaging with a round shape on top and the trademark cartoon print on it. The Color Boost Lipsticks were priced at Rs.150 and these ones are even cheaper at Rs.100. Also those were in 10 shades, while this new range has 20 shades!

Packaging is kind of ok, it is a little flimsy but the cap shuts tight. At 100 bucks, I cannot expect a fancy packaging and I am pretty ok with this.

In terms of pigmentation, they are amazing. All the swatches you see here are 2 swipes each. 2 swipes will give you full, opaque coverage on the lips.

Staying power is also pretty decent, they stayed for 5-6 hours on me without eating/drinking and about 4 hours with light snacks/drinks. Even after food, it doesn’t go away completely. Also leaves a nice, deep stain behind.

They come off easily with any makeup remover/cleanser. It does get into fine lines on the lips, but doesn’t accentuate them.

Clockwise: Selfie Red, Deep Pink, Chocolate Day, Let’s Tango, Rose Day

The shades I have are Selfie Red, Deep Pink, Chocolate Day, Rose Day, Let’s Tango

Here are the swatches..

L-R: Selfie Red, Deep Pink, Chocolate Day, Rose Day, Let’s Tango

Selfie Red is a neutral apple red

Deep Pink is a gorgeous deep pink, as the name goes

Chocolate Day is a gorgeous deep berry brown

Rose Day is a beautiful rosy pink

Let’s Tango is a coral orange

And here are the shades on me..

Clockwise: Selfie Red, Deep Pink, Chocolate Day, Let’s Tango, Rose Day

Please excuse the dryness around my lips, the skin there is behaving really bad and that particular dry patch is just not going, whatever I use! It comes right back even with oils, as soon as I stop using them :/

My favourites are Deep Pink, Rose Day and Chocolate Day. Chocolate Day is the perfect fall/winter shade. I can’t wait to check out more shades. Only con with this is availability. They would only be available at local beauty stores, online on Amazon they have high delivery charges.

If you find them at a store near you, grab them! You won’t be disappointed, these are absolutely amazing. Highly recommend. Total value for money at Rs.100/-

Update: Also did this video..

New Elle 18 Color Boost Lipsticks Review,Swatches

What the Company claims: Elle 18 has made things simpler this summer for all the girls out there with their new range of Color boost lipsticks. It comes in 10 lovely shades including Pinks, Reds and Oranges. These lipsticks are enriched with a special cocoa-butter formula that keeps your lips soft and your colour intact for upto 6 hours. Well, nothing arrests the beholder’s attention more than a glamourous pout.

MRP: Rs.150/-

Shades Available: 10

I am reviewing 7 of them today. Elle 18 Color Boost Lipsticks come in a pretty black and pink girlie packaging, like it always has been. Check out the previous range HERE

The lipsticks have an orange center which is their lip balm at the core, that keeps the lipstick moisturising. I like how hydrating and light they feel on the lips. Surprisingly, they are very,very pigmented. I just couldn’t get rid of the swatches from the hand even after washing thrice with a cleanser and had to use a good makeup remover to finally remove them.

Of course. they don’t stay for 6 hours as claimed, but the staying power is better than the previous Color Pop Lipsticks.The lighter shades stay for around 2.5-3 hours and the darker ones stay for around 3.5-4 hours, without and eating that is.

They are not transfer proof, but even after they wear off, the brighter shades leave a nice tint behind.

Talking of the packaging, it is very,very flimsy. One lipstick which I loved the most, Miss Pink  was already broken from the bullet before I received them. So, these are not very travel friendly too and should be carried along with care.

But as you guys know, the brand Elle 18 is all about affordability. These babies are very economical at 150 bucks and all the 10 new shades are super pretty and bright. Perfect for summers. Highly recommend getting 1-2 of these!

Here are the shades:

07 Hollywood Pink: Reddish Pink with silver shimmer

10 Superlicious Red : Warm Red with a hint of coral

08 Red Passion: Warm Orange Red

09 Hyper Orange: Warm Bright Peach

01 Miss Pink: Soft Fuchsia Pink

05 Nude Coral: MLBB Everyday nude shade with a hint of coral

06 Blonde Pink: Rosey Pink Brown with silver shimmer

And on moi..

I invested a lot of time in swatching, editing, etc. :/ I hope you guys like these pics and it is helpful for you to decide the shades, if in case you are buying it online or even shortlisting shades, if you are buying it from the store.

My favourite shades are Superlicious Red, Red Passion and Miss Pink, followed by Blonde Pink.

Quality: 3.75/5
Value for money: 4/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall Rating: 3.75/5

Would I buy it again: Yes!

Elle 18 Makeup Range Review, Swatches, FOTD

I had mentioned about the all new Elle 18 Makeup range HERE. Today I am doing a short review and look with the new Elle 18 range..

The Glow Foundation 

An every-day silky delicate texture foundation with SPF 8 and fragments of a gentle moisturizer that blends into your  skin to give a bright radiant finish and is available in 4 shades. The glow foundation is your instant beauty fix right before your class presentation, college fest or even a simple party in the evening. 

Price: Rs. 150 (30 ml) Shades: Pearl, Coral, Marble and Shell

The foundation comes in a tube packaging..its easy to use and carry along..and blends really well..the coverage is sheer though..more like a tinted moisturiser..I got the shade Shell which is slightly yellow and darker for me..but on blending, it did not look dark or yellow..I think its pretty good for daily use..and at 150 bucks, I am not complaining.

Rating: 3.5/5

The Glow Compact 

The Matte Compact is slim and easy to carry and it smoothens and moisturizes the skin at the same time protecting it from pollution. Whether it’s a party you are excited to go to or the college fest you want to be part of, the Glow Compact gives you that extra ‘oomph’ to dazzle everyone with your radiance. 

Price: Rs. 150 (9 gm) Shades: Pearl, Coral, Marble and Shell

I think this is the highlight if this range..the compact comes with a mirror and powder puff..and 9g is super huge qty and at a humble price of Rs.150/- ! It is silky, smooth in texture and keeps the skin matte. I got the shade Marble which suits me perfectly..and covers up for the slightly darker foundation when layered..I did highly recommend this ! Does not pinch your pockets at all and does its job amazingly well.

Rating: 4.5/5

The Juicy Lip Balm 

A lip balm is the quintessential beauty must have for the young woman of today.  The Elle 18 Juicy Balm is a non-sticky balm with Vitamin E, Olive, oil and Jojoba oil to ensure nourishing, soft and smooth lips.  The juicy lip balm is the perfect combination of colour and care to ensure you have lip smacking pouts always. 

Price: Rs. 110 (9 ml) Shades: Pink, Red, Mauve, Berry, Beige and Peach 

I got the shade Juicy Berry..it comes in a tube packaging with a slanted applicator..Juicy Berry is a nice coral pink shade..it comes up sheer..but does moisturise the lips well..good for some color and moisturisation in winters..since its in liquid form, it makes the lips look all luscious and juicy..I only wish it was a little more pigmented.


Rating: 3.75/5

The Elle 18 Colour Pop Liner 

Four new exciting shades have been added to the Colour Pop range to ensure that you never face a dull day in college. Brighten your eyes with these magnificent tones and wink your way to an A on your next assignment. 

Price: Rs. 75 (5 ml) Shades: Green, Brown, Grey and Blue

It comes in a small round glass bottle..just like the nail paints and eyeliner..which they have previously too. The bristles of the brush are not even and that makes application a little difficult..and its quiet sheer and needs a lot of layering for it to show up properly..pretty ok..good for someone who wants to try different colored liquid liners on a budget !


Rating: 3/5

Here are all the four products together..

I did a look with them..and I am quite surprised by the outcome..coz it looked pretty good..this can also be a look using only 5 products..I used the above four Elle 18 products and just some kohl on the waterline..thats it..

I love how the range is super affordable..and perfect for college going girls ! Beauty on a budget ? Check out Elle 18..I am sure you would love some of these..

I hope you liked the look..and do let me know which Elle 18 product is your favorite ? I think I would go with the compact, followed by the Lip balm..what about you ?
