Ellis Faas Milky Lips Review, Swatches

Ellis Faas Milky Lips L209 Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: Milky Lips L209 – Toffee Beige

WHAT – A long-wear, fluid lipstick that provides highly-pigmented colour, and a glossy finish that lasts overtime. Superior comfort both in application and on the lips. Plumping actives improve hydration and smooth your lips. Especially loved by women who do not like to feel lipstick on their lips.

WHY – The light texture of this highly pigmented, covering lipstick gives great definition to your lips, both as a fully covering shade, but also as a mere stain.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS – Vitamin E (Tocopherol), Candelilla Wax, Prune Seed Extract.

HOW – Apply Milky Lips with the brush applicator first by painting the lips with just a small amount of lipstick, then fully load the applicator to fill inside of the lips. Milky Lips is also great for a more stained effect: just load a tiny bit of the lipstick onto the applicator, apply and blot for a matte stain. Watch the instruction video!

A “Human Colour” and therefore suitable for each skin tone, age or style.

No scent. No taste. No parabens. No animal testing.

MRP: $35.00 or Rs.1875/-

Shades available: 9

All shades for reference…

Directions: “For a subtle look with just a trace of color, either apply a feather-light layer all over the lips or apply Milky Lips to the middle of the lips and fade it with the fingertips.”

Ellis Lips comes in three textures: Creamy Lips (L101-109), Milky Lips (L201-209), and Glazed Lips (L301-309) and all have sheer to buildable coverage and are quite pigmented.

It comes in a classic Ellis Faas silver metallic pen packaging..with a brush applicator..the base needs to be twisted some 20-25 times for the first time for the product to come out..

The formula is sheerer and lighter compared to Creamy lips..but surely buildable as mentioned above..the glossiness fades and goes away within an hour and leaves behind a matte finish..and the color even settles into fine lines..

Shade L209 Toffee Beige looks more brown on some..but on me its a nice peachy nude..an everyday shade and I am loving the shade..I am not into browns but I sure love my nudes !

Used sheer

Pros:

1. Nice packaging.
2. Easy to use.
3. Quite pigmented.
4. Buildable.
5. No animal testing or parabens.
6. Good everyday nude or MLBB shade for medium skin tones.

Cons:

1. Expensive !
2. Glossiness goes away within an hour and settles into fine lines..one needs very moisturised lips for this.
3. Difficult to locate products when all together :/
4. Availability issues.

Overall I love the shade and the fact that its quite pigmented and buildable. I do like the packaging..but as the outer body is same, gets confusing to locate..the texture and quality is sure amazing..would surely recommend..
