ELF Studio Lip Balm in Mellow Melon (review and swatches)



ELF Studio Lip Balm in Mellow Melon

 So I got myself one of ELF bestsellers in the best selling shade, Mellow Melon (just couldn't resist the popularity). I'm not the lip balm girl, this is the only one in my stash, and it is pretty nice. I like the discreet colour, the consistency, the smell and the candy taste. I believe it moisturises the lips pretty well (but then my lips aren't particularly cracked) leaving a nice hint of colour. I wouldn't really compare it to a gloss or a lipstick cause in spite of the amazing pigmentation, the colour disappears much sooner, but of course this is a balm, not a lipstick and no one should expect a similar performance.

I don't mind the bulkiness of the jar, I always carry a big bag and it's not that big after all. At home I like to apply the balm with a brush so that it doesn't get under my nails ( which I really hate).


I'm including a number of swatches in different light, so that you may get an idea what colour Mellow Melon is. To me it looks like some sort of milky coral pink, quite nice, natural, schoolgirl kind of colour.

The bottom line is that if I really used lip balms a lot I would buy a lot of other colours. Since I don't use these very often I suppose it's gonna stay with me long beyond the expiry date ;).
