The Beauty Encyclopedia - Lip Edition Review

You may or may not be surprised by this but this is my first E.L.F. purchase. 
I'm almost a full blown makeup snob. I live for Urban Decay, Stila and MAC. If I could afford everything they sell I would own it! Lately, I've been on a mission to find quality inexpensive makeup. When I found this on sale at Target, it was too cheap to pass by...

What E.L.F. says...
Since we believe that the perfect lip is indeed the sweetest kiss of approval, we offer the Essential Lip Kit – our trendy ‘Little Black Book of Beauty’ that lets you create the perfect look any time, day or night. With our popular Lip Shade Set, you can change your look from natural pink to a more dramatic red just by changing color – even make your own unique color combinations by mixing any of our 12 Lip Color Shades right on your lips to create the effect you want!

Our customers rave about “all the color choices for everyday use” and how this Lip Kit “allows side by side comparisons of different shades in the kit”, allowing you to “see what the many different shades look like off and on.”

Our Essential Lip Set makes the perfect gift for you or for a friend. And with its compact, sleek design it’s the perfect companion for on-the-go beauty touch ups as well as in-the-house beauty creations. Best of all, the entire Essential Lipstick Set is offered as only $5 (a $20 Value!) and includes all of the must-have lip essentials.
