Review: Glitter Elixirs Cosmetics Lip Elixirs ‘Home’, ‘Touchstone’, ‘Extreme Possibility’, ‘Paranormal Activity’

It’s no secret that I love Glitter Elixirs! I have written reviews on several of their liquid lipsticks and some of their glitters before. I’m a huge fan of Kennedy, owner of Glitter Elixirs, and we have become fast friends in the past few months. She runs the company with professionalism and always presents a quality product. I’ve never had any issues with shipping and no issues during checkout via her Etsy page. She’s very active on social media (especially Instagram) and often offers flash sales or discounts. Taking advantage of discount codes allows you to try more products from her shop, for a lower price!

Glitter Elixirs has just released a new collection of ultra creamy liquid lipsticks, called Lip Elixirs. Think OCC Lip Tars ($18), but for half the price. Glitter Elixirs offers two sizes of their Lip Elixirs, Travel Size ($8) and Full Size ($11). Both sizes come in bottles with doe foot applicators to erase the need for a lip brush and allow for easy on-the-go touch ups. I love applicator wands and hate lip brushes so this was a plus for me! The only thing that bothered me with the packaging was that the travel size containers leaked when placed any way but up. I didn’t find this problem with the full size containers.

This new collection is based on the X-Files which is totally awesome and the available shades are definitely kind of ‘other-wordly’. I picked up three shades a week ago and Kennedy was generous enough to throw in another travel size shade because we are tight like that (just kidding, she adds samples to every order LOL).

My favorite shade is ‘Paranormal Activity’. You guys, I LOVE this shade. Like, my heart started beating faster when I put on the first layer. It was super dramatic! But the shade demands a reaction like this because it is absolutely beautiful. This color is very opaque and has a metallic sheen to it. One coat on top and two on my bottom lip, and I was ready to walk out the door!

Another favorite is ‘Extreme Possibility’. This shade is the color of rust, but the lip swatch is making it look a little more red than it really is. In person, it looks like rust so it must be my camera messing with the color. This shade has a creamy satin finish. I know I will be wearing this color more in the fall as an alternative to my usual nude, winter lip.

‘Home’ is a repromote of a previous Glitter Elixirs shade that is no longer available, ‘Re-Education’. ‘Home’ stayed put on my lips, but it had an intense metallic glitter reflection that made it hard to tell what color it really is. In some angles it’s brown, and in others, it looks different making it truly hard to photograph.

It also makes it more difficult to wear because I got glitter all over my face when trying to remove it at the end of the day. Not cute. I’ll probably use this more as a gloss instead of an all over lip color to reduce the amount I put on. It’s a very transformative shade that can be placed over a ton of different lipsticks.

Lastly, I received ‘Touchstone’ as my freebie shade and it really surprised me. When I first saw it in the tube, it brought back memories of ’90’s baby girls with the slicked back baby hairs, big ole’ hoop earrings, and tons of bubblegum poppin’. They always seemed to have on a frosted pink lip! That’s not really the look I’m going for so I was hesitant to put it on.

However, I’m happy to say that I don’t think I looked half bad! It’s not a color I would pick up on my own, but it is truly different. But I still don’t have the courage to wear it out in public. I feel like everyone else around me will begin having ’90’s baby girl flashbacks too.
