By Simantini: There are days when I feel glum and down, and wish for a color to just pop up my mood. Elle 18 Color Pops Matte PROM PINK is exactly that colour which will glam up your simple outfit and spunk up your mood.

Price - 100 INR

Weight - 4.3gm

Shelf life - 24 months (2 years) from the date of manufacture

Packaging - The standard black plastic cover is not too attractive. Also, the round shape makes it tough for girls to carry it in the purse.

Smell - The lipstick does not have a very strong cosmetic scent which irritates some of us.

Color - This one is a bright popping pink, but don't confuse it to be a coral or rani pink one. The colour looks great on fair skin, but I don't think that it will suit the darker skin tones.

Experience - My experience with PROM PINK from Elle 18 Color Pops Matte has been a positive one. It is not only a bright colour, but also has a good staying power. The colour remain almost intact even after I had tea and snacks. However, with reapplication, the colour gets patchy and uneven.

Pros -

• 1. not very expensive
• 2. bright colour for happy and sad days both
• 3. good staying power
• 4. long shelf life
• 5. no strong smell

Cons -

• 1. reapplication makes it patchy and uneven
• 2. ordinary packaging

Verdict - 3.8/5

Will I repurchase? Probably not, because this is a pretty common colour, and I already have this shade from 2 other brands, which are more matte than this one. But it's not a loss for a first buy, and I don't regret having this lipstick on my shelf.
