Here’s an Ellis Faas purchase I like and which I would recommend you to get if you want to try anything from the brand. Unlike the Creamy Eye eyeshadow which I had a lot to complain about in terms of packaging, I won’t complain as much about the lip products, despite them coming in the same packaging.
I swear you could do some serious injury with this! Too big to pick your teeth with though…
The main reason is because I can use up whatever excess comes out of the tube, but for some reason, I find this one easier to control. I just twist once and wait for a few seconds and a sufficient amount comes out to allow me to use it. Now let me show you the colour.
Ooh… ahhh… lovely!
Ellis Faas Glazed Lip L303 has no name
This lovely colour has no name. Pity. I might have called it Boysenberry. I like that name and I don’t know a lip colour with that name 😛 There is no shimmer and its not super high gloss either. Its pretty much just. right.
And here’s the swatch for Glazed Lips L303. Just one swipe mind you. This is lovely pigmented stuff that is not heavy nor goopy nor opaque and thick. Its not glossy or shiny despite the name “Glazed lips” but it gives a gorgeous tint of colour that you can build up to a beautiful opacity that doesn’t look overdone, or leave it as a sheer wash of colour on your lips.
Also Featuring: Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum foundation #51 Light Vanilla, Chanel Les Roses Travel Exclusive Blush, Inglot Eyeshadows
I love wearing this one everyday and I do! Layered a couple of times when I want something heavier on the lips and just 1 swipe when I don’t want to be too bold. The colour is as you see here. A pink-red I honestly believe anyone can wear and wear well.
Longevity is excellent. It takes me through to lunch looking good despite copious amounts of coffee and water and I usually do a quick touch up if I need it to look good thereafter. Ellis Faas eyeshadows may have bummed me but the Glazed Lips formula is a winner!
Pros: Lovely non sticky formula, No scent, Longlasting, Not drying, Lovely colour and texture
Cons: Twist up packaging can be a pain but I forgive it for the gorgeous formula, Pricey and unavailable in stores locally
I had to include this shot of the Inglot eyeshadow beceause I have to let you know how much I love the formula and how impressed I am by it! The problem is, Inglot eyeshadows come in numbers (brain freeze!) so I cannot remember them as well as I do names. What I can tell you is that it is a light shimmery pink (possibly 431P) layered over a deep purple from the palette I showed you last week. Bottom lined with gold (AMC45S) from the other palette.
I also picked up the Ellis Faas Creamy Lip and Milky Lip formulas so I will tell you about those soon. For now, I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the Glazed Lip! If you have an Ellis Faas lip colour or formula to recommend, please do! 😀

July 7, 2011 at 3:13 pmEeeeks, PB, you make me wanna own a pen like that too!!! I’ve been stalking the site for a few times now.
[On a side note, I’ve caved in and ordered some Pokemon-colored eyeshadows since your Shiro Cosmetics lippie post. Pikachu eyeshadow here I come!]
ParisB says
July 7, 2011 at 3:20 pmThe pen is awesomely cool. I love it! 😀 Ooh you got you some Shiro eyeshadows! I have been contemplating them but the thought of dealing with baggies/sample pots just puts me off even if I know they would look awesome. Will wait for you to get it and report back!

July 7, 2011 at 3:20 pmHow pretty is the colour. *wails* I want one. But the price is such a deterrent! 🙁
ParisB says
July 7, 2011 at 3:45 pmYes the price IS a huge deterrant 🙁 Still that’s the thing about the exclusive nice quality stuff eh?
pinkcloud says
July 7, 2011 at 3:43 pmThe colour is lovely! The texture looks light and yet the colour is opaque! I would love to get one of these too, but the price and availability is such a turn off 🙁 How much did u pay for the shipping?
ParisB says
July 7, 2011 at 3:47 pmSadly I have to agree with you on all counts. I utilized a free shipping code but otherwise shipping is flat rate of $ 7,50 / € 6,50 / £ 5,50 worldwide.

July 7, 2011 at 5:54 pmOohh Paris, the lip colour is soooo beautiful…. 🙂 I am ashamed to say I have yet to open my tube of Ellis Faas lippie although it arrived like 5 weeks ago with a blusher and creamy eye colour 😛 I must really go open them up and use them soon 😛
ParisB says

July 8, 2011 at 12:47 amyou.are.mean.
i have this terrible weakness for lipgloss and moisturizers, but good thing for me, most moisturizers today have hyaluronic or alcohol, so it stops me from buying. but lipgloss?!?! i ALWAYS am tempted to go crazeh! =(
oh btw, STAGE cosmetics is having their sale, 2 lipsticks (exp date Aug 2012) for RM20. 2 nail polishes for RM12.
ParisB says
July 8, 2011 at 10:35 am🙁 You called me mean 🙁 On the other hand, I’d say that this is a liquid lipstick more than a lip gloss. Does that help? 😉
Eli says

July 12, 2011 at 1:06 amI am happy to hear that you loved Inglot shadows, I’ve been using the brand since my teen years. And I love the name you gave to this EF lipstick; it looks really nice on you!
ParisB says
July 12, 2011 at 5:40 pmInglot shadows are pretty amazing 😀 I’ll have my post up soon!
Natalie says
July 16, 2011 at 4:36 pmGosh, I am so jealous that you are so tiny, yet your face does not have that gaunt, hollowed cheek look 😀 Wish I could inject some of my thighs into my cheeks!!! Anyhoo, love the lippy! Does’t it feel drying that you have to apply some gloss on top?
ParisB says
July 16, 2011 at 4:44 pmI have what is known as “chipmunk cheeks” 😛 Hated them as I was growing up but grateful for them now for helping maintain a youthful appearance LOL! 😀 And I don’t apply gloss with this one – its glossy and pigmented enough on its own
