Elle 18 Color Pops Matte Lipstick : Code Red, Rust Rage, Deep Pink Review, swatch
Hello Cupcakes 🙂
Trends last month: Less active, less post, Less comments on others blog
But
Highly active while buying lipsticks 😛
Elle 18 Color Pops Matte Lipstick hit Indian market with gorgeous 20 shades. I have picked up 3 and tested them enough, So let’s get into the review.
Price: 100 INR for 4.3g
Product Description: High color pay off, Pigmented, Matte lipstick
My Experience with Elle 18 Color Pops Matte Lipsticks:
Packaging: Black tube with girls face printed on it, the cap has a flat top. Pretty sight!! I haven’t seen the caps travelling in the bag, The Tube cap shuts with click, but yet does not feel that sturdy. For the price they come in the packaging is good.
Texture: The texture is more on the creamy side; they glide smoothly on the lips. Though advertised as Matte, since the texture is creamy, the finish is more of a creamy matte. I have blotted it and applied a powder on top of it, to turn them into matte, and they do turn matte. So not a problem there.
Performance: Once applied they don’t transfer like crazy, but they do transfer a little. So with Munch and sip the shade goes little by little. I would say overall 3-5 hours. The Rust Rage is fastest to fade and rest two kind of stays intact for long hours. These can’t survive meal but the shades leave a tint behind. I haven’t seen these bleeding, settling into fine lines or getting patchy. Since these are creamy mattes they are very comfortable on the lips too.
Shades:
Deep Pink : Raspberry Pink, Pigmented to the core, one swipe is enough, leaves a Pink tint behind.
Rust rage: It a Mix of Orange, Rust and Maroon. On my skin it looks exactly like a Rust shade, whereas on my fair skin toned friend, it looks almost maroonish. This needs about 2 swipes to look great, leaves a maroon tint behind.
Code red: Deep Red. Looks gorgeous on Deeper skin tones. This is pigmented a lot too, leaves a Red tint behind.
Pros
Affordable, Fantastic Shades, Good pigmentation, Creamy matte hence comfortable on lips, stays for 3-5 hours.
Cons
Not a perfect powder matte finish, Transfers a little, OOS most of the time.
Last words:
This range gets A+ from me. The Price, the Performance, the shades are all fantastic. I am trying to get more of these and I will be getting more of these once they
are in stock in local shops. Do I recommend? Hell Yeah!!! One can’t miss these.
Have you tried these? Do you own any lipstick from Elle 18?

Trying hard to find these lipsticks in my local store. Code red looks nice.
These are hard to find. I am having tough time finding the Pinks in this. Very pretty shade 🙂
I’m eyeing on these for quite sometime time now. But I wish they were widely available. They sound too good for 100 bucks.
You are right Safi. Finding them is a task 🙁
Yeah quality is awesome
One think I really like about Elle 18 lipsticks are the affordable price. All these shades are beautiful?
True and amazing quality too 🙂
Elle lipsticks and also also other products from the brand are very much affordable, I used to own couple of lipsticks from them, will check out this range
Yeah and the QUALITY is getting better with each launch too. These dont feel like a 100 buck lipstick. The shades too are unique. Do get your hands on these, pretty pinks they have
I’ve never tried Elle 18 products. I always thought considering the price they might not be that great! But il give these a go since you recommend these! Also i am a sucker for matte lipsticks!

Some of the eye products I have tried and lipsicks in the past havenot fared well. But the latest ones are better in quality and dont even feel like a 100 buck lippies.
