Ellis Faas Milky Lips
My Ellis Faas arrived from Bergdorf's today, having taken 5 days to go 40 blocks and in a box big enough to hold a pair of boots! No matter, they're mine now! One of the two items I purchased was Milky Lips Lipstick in L207, which turned out to be $35 and not the $36 I was quoted. It's a warm deep nude with a good amount of brown and peach in it. In my opinion, the Ellis Faas colors definitely run warm. It's not the most flattering shade I've ever worn (I'd have preferred if it had a tad more pink) but the texture is very, very nice. It's fluid like a stain but a bit thicker. I suppose it's somewhere between a gloss and a stain and the lasting power is very good, especially given how moisturizing this feels. I would call the finish velvety. I do not think that the product will completely blow your mind of revolutionize the way you think about lip products, but because of how novel the texture is it is worth owning one Ellis Faas Milky Lips for sure.

I love this on you, it looks like the perfect peachy nude. I love ellis faas!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Em! What products do you like from the line?
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty colour - it really suits you. I really want to get my hands on some Ellis Faas products now, after reading such glowing reviews everywhere.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, the word warm makes me a bit hesitant. But, eventually I will probably try this brand.
ReplyDeleteI find the lip colours run warm too - I thought 207 was one of the least warm/most neutral of the bunch. I wonder if she might release some clearer, cooler shades eventually if the demand is there. Really pretty on you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Grace! I've worn it twice this week which is a record for me. I think the texture of these is addictive!
ReplyDeleteDoes she have any shades that are a light warmish pink? You know you got my lemmings started!!!
