e.l.f. Hydrating Core Lip Shine, Delightful

Shade purchased - Lovely Having read earlier reviews, I think ELF must have changed the formula because mine has no scent at all. It glides on easily with a good dash of sheer colour and feels like it is moisturising my lips. It also has decent staying power. It'll be living permanently it in my handbag now autumn has set in. I would love it even more if ELF could add SPF.

I loved the texture of this lip balm. It stays on the lips, gives a slight tint. I don’t think it will stay on the lips for long especially after a coffee or snack. It does its job as a good hydrating lip care.

I used the shade delightful and it’s beautiful - reminds me of a lighter, more mauve cashmere from lime crime. Very close dupe would be ‘really me’ from MAC. Looks very smooth and performs better than more expensive versions of a similar product, imo. A star off because the seal was broken (product was untouched thankfully) and the scent of it is strong, unpleasant and quite sickly (like rose combined with rotten berries) and unfortunately it lingers. Would prefer fragrance free or just a light vanilla.

The colour is nice but it doesn’t last long. After eating it just goes away. I didn’t like smell.

This has now become my favourite lip colour. It’s sheer and juicy, completing a polished barely- there makeup look. It does need reapplying but goes on like a lip-balm so I don’t need a mirror.

Affordable dupe of pink honey. Not as sheer as the original and a bit more of a pale pink. Has a little bit of a watermelon smell, which I don’t mind, but might not be others cup of tea.

ohh i am so disappointed! i absolutely love e.l.f products, but this one is absolutely terrible. it streaks everywhere, like I cannot express how ugly it looks on my lips. if by chance your lips are not incredibly hydrated, it will pick up and show all the dry areas. and for some reason whenever i put it on it makes my lips peel... terrible value for money it spreads everywhere also. I am hoping it was maybe a one-off. it is very soft. don't get me wrong, the heart core is super cute, and the general tube looks adorable and trendy, its just a big shame the product doesnt do as good. dont buy this!!

Good teen gift, gives a nice lip colour without being too bright.
