Advantages: Good sized tin, cheap

Disadvantages: Greasy, Sticky, Smells of burning plastic

ELF are an online budget make up company, and their prices are very cheap, but can the products really be any good at such a price? If this Lip Gloss Tin is anything to go by, not really.

I had a free Delivery code for the site, and so decided to give it a go and try out some new Lip Balm. I work in an Ice Rink, so my lips are constantly dry and chapped, and I need Lip Balm during work to keep me at my kissable best!

I purchased two lip gloss tins from the website, the one pictured above which is "Crazed Coconut" and "Candy Fix".

The packaging of the tins is really cute, and they come in a good sized pack, and so would last a while. The lip balm itself is a nice colour with a lovely glitter through it. Thats the good points, the bad points, are that the Gloss or Balm or whatever it may be is very greasy and just really sits on top of your lips and stays sticky and greasy, now maybe its just me, other people might want that from a lip gloss or balm. The second point was the smell of the lip balm. I ordered coconut and candy because i thought it would smell nice, both of the tins smell the same, and the smell was nothing like candy or coconut, but rather i thought it smelt of burning plastic and was just not nice at all!

I am the kind of person who likes their lip balm to smell nice, and smell tasty, so this was the main reason why I dislike this product, for £1.50 you could buy a nice lip balm pot from Body Care (they cost 99p) which smell lovely and have a nice consistancy, which is what I did, as I will not be using this product!

Summary: I did not like this product, because it was greasy and smelly, not really what I expected!
