MY 2 CENTS
I picked up Elle for my Digital Dreams weekend. I wanted something fun and bright, as if I don’t already have enough fun and bright in my collection. Who am I kidding? It was totally just an excuse to try a Stila product.
Color Balm Lipsticks are said to be creamy, full of pigment, nourishing like a balm, with the finish/shine of a gloss.
I’ll definitely agree that they are creamy and quite pigmented but I do not find them nourishing. I find Elle to be slightly drying, sort of clumpy, with a short 4hr wear time.
Elle is a pinky coral shade and an exact dupe for MAC Nicki Minaj Viva Glam. It’s even similar in finish.

The packaging is a little heavy and the lipstick itself is way too round for my lips so I have to apply in a dabbing motion.
