Review: E.L.F Hypershine Gloss In Bubblegum

Hi everyone! This is a review of the E.L.F Hypershine Gloss in the shade Bubblegum.




What ELF Says:

"Hyper, glass-like shine infused with micro-mirror technology to reflect light. Conditioning shine lasts for hours."

Price: £1.50
Amount of product: 1.5g

I decided to try this lipgloss after watching several youtube videos on it, I thought the colour looked really pretty and for £1.50 there wasn't much to lose if I didn't like this product.

Packaging

I really like the simple packaging of this gloss, it is very similar to the STILA lip glaze which is ten times the price.

I find it handy that the pen is clear so you can see how much (or how little) product is left. 

The pen needs to be twisted quite a lot of times before the product will come out of the brush applicator.
I would go slowly with this as the gloss tends to suddenly come out all at once!

Product

Now for the important part, the product itself!

The colour is a gorgeous milky pink and once on the lips it does live up to the name bubblegum.

I found the gloss very easy to apply using the brush applicator.

I did however have to use a couple of layers to get this baby pink colour.


As far as staying power goes this lipgloss isn't great but isn't awful either, it is average and i didn't expect much more for the cheap price.

The gloss is very shiny as advertised, but it is also very gloopy and sticky.
More so when applying more than one layer.

The only way to stop this from happening is to use a thin layer of this lipgloss over a lipstick.

I find it looks lovely over a nude pink like MACs angel which is what I have been pairing it with.

Verdict

Overall I would say for the affordable price, these glosses are worth the money.


ELF sell these in a wide range of colours meaning theres colours to suit everyone.

Would I purchase these again? Yes but i'm not a hurry to do so.

Bottom line, if you are looking for an affordable shiny lipgloss which is perfect for throwing in your handbag for on the go touch-ups I would definitely give these a try.





Thanks for taking the time to read this review, I hope you found it helpful.
