Maybeline's Color Elixir Lip Colors ($8.99; cvs.com) are among my favorite lip glosses from the drugstore at the moment. The color selection is fabulous and the formula is perfect for those of us who don't like heavy, sticky glosses. I picked up Caramel Infused - the rosy brown was an obvious choice that seemed like the perfect swipe and go color.
I absolutely love the packaging of the Color Elixirs. They're small enough to fit into a tiny makeup bag and the wand makes color application super easy. The texture, while on the thinner side, definitely feels non-sticky, very moisturizing and weightless. Caramel Infused turns up looking like a medium pink on my pigmented lips and the color works well on its on and layers fabulously. Like with any other lip gloss formula, I get about 2 hours or so of wear time from these. There's a slightly strong scent which I'm not a big fan of, but having tried lip products with super strong scents that hardly ever dissipate, I won't complain too much, especially for the fantastic price tag. Definitely picking up more of these soon!

I like it! It's almost like Revlon Lip Butter in Pink Truffle, but in a gloss form.
ReplyDeleteHi Chris,
DeleteYes, the color is very similar! Have you picked this one up yet?
Oh, not yet. I own far too many glosses and I am on a low-buy. My birthday is next month, so I may treat myself. :)
