You may remember from my Elf order that I was really excited to repurchase Elf Lipstick in Classy.
I'd had my old Classy for a while now, it had broke in the middle, and if I'm honest, it was looking a bit scabby.
So when Elf offered their Mystery Box Promotion, I decided to fork out the grand sum of £1.50 and replace my ole favourite, Classy.
Classy is the most perfect colour, its a creamy baby pink with an almost matte finish,
its very full coverage and goes with literally everything.
It brightens up a nude look, but takes a side step with a smokey eye and let's it do all the talking.
However, when my order arrived, the Lipstick looked a lot darker than I remembered it.
Worrying that I'd gotten the name wrong, I fished out my old Classy, and I was right - they are completely different.
But don't take my word for it, see for yourself.
Left: Old Classy, Right: New Classy
Excuse my battered old Classy on the left,I didn't expect it to see the light of day again,
(now you see why I was reordering).
I am so disappointed.
I may be overreacting, after all, they are both pink lipsticks, but it's just not what I
wanted, or needed.
Even the texture is different, Old Classy is a smooth, full colour, almost matte cream, New Classy is a light, sheen lipstick with a shiny gloss finish, and it's not very pigmented.
New Classy isn't a bad lipstick, I just wasn't expecting it, and it won't go with looks I had in mind.
Make-up being discontinued is not uncommon, but what I don't understand is,
if you're gonna make a new lipstick, why not just give it a new name?
It's extremely hard to get a good quality creamy and smooth light pink lipstick on a budget, and Old Classy was a fail-safe lipstick combination.
Elf, please bring the Old Classy back!
