Coffee Break: Pout Clout

I bought this elf lip gloss at least a year ago, and honestly — I didn't like it at first. I always thought the color was lovely (“Bust a Mauve”), but I worried it was too shiny and didn't feel like I needed the plumping properties.

I got a very similar product for review recently, which shall remain unnamed — but let's just say it cost more than 7x as much as this lip gloss. I felt like the color and shine was identical to this one, which made me pull this one out again — and I felt like this one stays on a lot longer and makes my lips feel more moisturizing than the fancy product. So I've put it back in my rotation, and am now nearly at the end of it and thinking about buying more.

You can find it at your local drugstore or at Ulta, Target, Amazon, or elfcosmetics.com; according to elf.com it now comes in 12 shades.
