I first got this lipstick a few weeks ago, and I wanted to some sort of 'first impression', but after a few days of laziness, I gave up. But now, I'm here with a review of the Elf Lipstick. 


This product is actually the first one that I have used from Elf. I had originally bought it along with a package of oil blotting sheets at Target. The color I own is in Pink Umbrellas.
Price: 2 dollars
Size: 2.8 grams



In this light, it looks slightly orange, but it's actually a really delicate pink.


It's not an extremely harsh color, but it's actually a few shades lighter than my actual skin tone. When I wear it, it doesn't bring a lot of color in my face, but washes it out a bit. 
But it does give your lips a lot of moisture
When I put it on, it doesn't bring me a lot of pigment, and it usually lasts up to two-three hours.

With Lipstick


Without Lipstick


The lipstick itself has a slightly minty smell, and it has a really nice application. But I tend to use the sides of the stick instead of the top, so sometimes the lipstick will get onto the edges of the lipstick tube. 
It does twist up, and you have to be careful with the clear lid in case you accidentally stick it onto the actual lipstick or get it stained. 


The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith.

Emotion? This book made me cry a bit, and definitely made me smile. 

I got this book for free in this cute little library near Stony Brook University in New York. I have heard of this book, and have been told that it's extremely well written. 
I have to agree. 
Although it was a bit short of my liking (236 pages), it was incredibly cute and sweet. The story spans over a time period of two days, and you can see the main character's chemistry develop into more as it goes on. Oliver and Hadley grow close to each other after they meet at the airport and sit together in the same row. This story is funny, cute and heartbreaking at the same time. 
It's also filled with quotes like:
"It's not the changes that will break your heart; it's that tug of familiarity." 
"It's one thing to run away while someones chasing you. It's entirely another to be running all alone." 

Summary:
Today should be one of the worst days of seventeen-year-old Hadley Sullivan's life. Having missed her flight, she's stuck at JFK airport and late to her father's second wedding, which is taking place in London and involves a soon-to-be stepmother Hadley's never even met. Then she meets the perfect boy in the airport's cramped waiting area. His name is Oliver, he's British, and he's sitting in her row.
A long night on the plane passes in the blink of an eye, and Hadley and Oliver lose track of each other in the airport chaos upon arrival. Can fate intervene to bring them together once more?...

Too many things to do. Too little time. Who knew Halloween could be so stressful?
