ELF Cosmetics Ride or Die Lip Balm Quick Review & Swatch (in Tough Cookie)

I have a love/hate relationship with the ELF Cosmetics Ride or Die Lip Balm.  Before I get into why, lets all cheer for this affordable lip balm (at just $5)!

ELF describes “Ride of Die” as a “intensely hydrating tinted lip balm with sheer wash of color”.

The balm is available in 7 shades for $5 each.

You can find the Ride of Die Lip Balm at:

• • ELF Cosmetics
  • Ulta Beauty
  • Target
  • Walmart

Ride or Die Lip Balm Quick Review

I purchased this balm in Tough Cookie described as a “sheer warm caramel with a warm brown sugar scent”

The scent of Tough Cookie is sweet but not over powering.  The sheer wash of color is definitely a “your lips but better” tint that will suit all skin tones.

I love this product.  The balm is ultra glossy but not sticky and wears for hours.  I am shocked that a $5 lip balm performs so well.

BUT, and this is a BIG BUT…it’s so hard to get this balm out of the tube!

A wand applicator would have been great for this product instead of a difficult “squeeze tube”.

Everything else about this product is exactly as described and that’s why I’m willing to struggle with the application.

You will love this product if:

• You like drugstore products
• Want ultra glossy lips
• Like sheer wash of color

You might not like this product if:

• Gripping or squeezing is difficult for you
• You dont like applying products using your hands
