E.L.F. Cosmetics Tinted Lip Oil ($6) is one of several budget friendly lip oils that have launched in the last year or so. Lip oils somehow feels like it is making a come back this Summer as I keep seeing a slew of drugstore and budget brands launching different formulas. I did notice that the formula has been revised slightly though as where as before brands were launching sheer or clear oils now brands are taking aim at tinted or pigmented formulas.
That’s the case with E.L.F.’s version which is available in five shade selections which give your lips a pop of color as well as nourishing ingredients to sooth and soften lips.
Here’s my review and swatches.

I picked up the shade Nude Kiss at my local E.L.F. store recently for $6 bucks. This is a 0.10 oz barrel which appears to hold a lot more product than it actually does (MAC Dazzleglass syndrome happening here). But it is still a cheaper option than say Milani Moisture Lock Oil Infused Lip Treatment. As I mentioned above there are a lot of tinted lip oils available at the moment. That seems to be the newest “craze” when it comes to lip oils. So far, I’ve tried some really fun budget ones like Hard Candy Blooming Lip Oil. I like the idea of a tinted lip oil as not only do I get the hydration from the formula but also, get some nice color on my lips from it.
This formula is marketed as a sheer, hint of color finish but I thought Nude Kiss had a nice pop of color. I wouldn’t call it...
