I was fortunate to receive some products to take part on Instagram from e.l.f. cosmetics.
I took this picture from my Instagram. I thought I might as well review the products. For this post, I will review the lipstick on the bottom right.

Thoughts: I've been wanting to try their lipsticks. I've heard great things but I wasn't too sure if it was this type of lipstick or another kind. For that reason, I was excited but nervous.
Here's a closer look at the lipstick.

Here's a closer look at the bottom of the lipstick. In all honesty, I didn't even know there was a lipgloss on the bottom. A friend/blogger told me. I'm glad she told me or else I would have never known.
Here's a closer look at the lipgloss.
Here's a swatch of the lipstick, left, and lipgloss, right, on my hand.
Now for the looks...
Look #1:
Here's how the lipstick looks on me.
Here's an overall look. I have the eyeshadows on my eyes from e.l.f. and the highlighter on the cheeks.
Looks #2:
Here's how the lipgloss looks on me.
Here's an overall look on me. I also have the eyeshadows from e.l.f. and highlighter on in this picture as well.
Look #3:
Here's how lipgloss on top of lipstick looks on me.
Here's an overall look. It's the same makeup as Look #2. I just changed the lip.
Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's a slight scent. It smells like vanilla. It's more noticeable on the lipstick than lipgloss. With that said, I honestly did not notice while applying. I just noticed now since I sniffed the product. Secondly, I've read reviews and some people think it looks cheap. I don't think so. It's a simple, classic black packaging. I like it. Third, I was pretty impressed with the lipstick/gloss. The lipstick glides on smoothly and doesn't tug on the lips. It also doesn't express the lines on the lips. It looks like a smooth, hydrated lip. The lipgloss was the same. It went on smoothly and did not express the lines on the lips. The only thing is the container is really small. If you have big fingers, it might be hard to dip into it. Plus, it's not sanitary safe. I used a lip brush. The downfall is you will need to carry an extra item, lip brush, throughout the day. It doesn't bother me but some people might. Fourth, Marsala Blush is on the neutral side. It's most pigmented with the combination of both lipstick and lipgloss. By itself, it's not that opaque. I actually don't mind since I like neutral colors. Fifth, it is hydrating. I wouldn't say the most hydrating product but it definitely helps. I didn't see any white residue in the middle of the lips, as well as, feeling dry. It felt like a lot of hydrating lip products. With each usage, the lips improve. Lastly, it lasted until I ate/drank.
Pros:
* Slight scent.
* Smells like vanilla.
* Simple, classic black packaging.
* Travel-friendly.
* Both lipstick/gloss in one packaging.
* Creamy.
* Doesn't tug on the lips.
* Goes on smoothly.
* Doesn't express the lines on the lips.
* Neutral color.
* Hydrating.
* Lasted until I ate/drank.
Cons:
* The lipgloss container is small; can be hard to dip into it.
* Might need a lip brush.
* Not opaque.
Would repurchase: Yes.
