   I do like this palette! Comes with beautiful colours that are perfect for a lot of different looks and occasions, applied very easily and evenly. You can mix and match or you can just wear them as is. All the shades are pink toned which is perfect for those who like a pinky lip colour. I wear a couple of the shades as is but then will mix others together, I’m obsessed with the red, brown and peachy shades. Have a bit of a glossy look to them but does last a decent amount of time, will last for most of the day depending on how much drinking and eating you do but touch ups are easy because the palette is very slim making it easy to carry around plus comes with its own brush, which is actually really good. It is the only brush I’ve been using to apply these.

   The formula feels really similar to their mosturizing lipsticks. Some of the shades are more pigmented then others, the brown is the most pigmented out of them but they all look really nice on the lips without sinking into lines or bleeding. A lot of the shades look beautiful mix with the brown and red. Very lightweight and comfortable lipsticks with decent pigmentation for a lip palette. The palette is very sturdy and solid but can be a little difficult to open. Overrall i am really enjoying the palette and love the shades in it and that i can create with it. it has made me want to try out other lip palettes

   What happened???
   (swatch pics: first pic is the new one, Runway 2, the second pic swatches are the first, Runway 1)

   I own both the Runway lip palette 1 and 2. The original/first palette – the colors are super dark and extremely emollient like a gloss. They applied lovely for me (some didnt like the formula/too creamy) but i loved it. Wasnt drying and even though the colors looked bright, they all looked awesome and natural once applied. Layed creamy on the lips. This new Runway lip 2 is a flop (sorry, elf!). I noticed immediately that they changed the formula like some ppl requested, but now the pans are so stiff, I could barely swatch enough color payoff to take a pic. None of the colors wanted to stick to my skin! Almost like they have too much wax? I dont know, but this is nothing like the first palette. When applied, the colors lay on my lips and all i could see were the lines on my lips grabbing the color. It applied and performed nothing like the first. The shades also do not wear well, the first barely would show up, the second is a peach that settled into my lip lines, and I found a pink undertone ran in almost all of them (the red is really a dark pink). Of all the items I bought in my elf haul, this was a let down. None of the darker shades (2nd, 4th, 5th) wore well; all settled into my lip lines and looked really fake and unnatural and dry. I even compared shades from each palette on my lips- none of the first palette colors sank into lines like this one. Im not sure if its the pastel-ish shades vs. the darker shades in runway 1, but this is a huge letdown for me. It would be 10X better has elf not changed the creaminess/formula. Bummer.

   This is such a miss for me, I’m not even sure if I’m going to wear some of the colors.

   ETA: Please, if you own this – REVIEW IT. Since I cannot seem to find swatches or any online reviews for this new lip palette, I’m starting to wonder if I possibly got a bad palette? I have no way to tell unless someone else gives this palette a try!
