When I'm buying new beauty products I'm always careful that I don't buy something that is the same or similar colour that I already have at home. What happened here then? Two of the products are even recent purchases. I guess I really like this color, that I don't even know how to describe. I would say the colour is a toned down red, with a little bit of pink in the mix. Good news is that all of the products are still available, we all know how Essence likes to discontinue their stuff. So this review of the products might be usefull ;)
1. Essence sheer & shine lipstick
09 I feel pretty
This line of lipsticks is new addition to the Essence family and just like the name says they are sheer with a shiny finish. I think is the best if we treat them as some kind of mix between lipbalm and lipstick so that we won't be disappointed when they don't last long on the lips. But on the other hand they are very comfortable to wear, are easy to apply and are a great pick for those who are affraid to wear bold and very noticable colours on their lips. The colour that I have is still noticable, as you can see, but is also one of the darkest colours in this collection so is understandable.
2. Essence liquid lipstick
06 Make a statement
Lipstick? Lipgloss? Or something in between? I like lipsticks in liquid form, but I prefer them to be matte and longlasting. This one is very shiny and glossy so I'd say in this aspect is very similar to lipgloss. The main difference is the opacity. The pigmentation of this shade is great, it covers my lips completely in one swipe. So it is opaque and last longer on the lips than a lipgloss, but worse than a lipstick.
3. Essence longlasting lipliner
06 A girl's dream
When Essence launched their new version of lipliners everybody in the blogging world got crazy over these, so of course I had to try them too. Yes, they are soft for lipliners, but I think that almost everybody is wearing these lipliners like lipsticks, and so am I. Because of the price you can experiment with colours and maybe go out of your comfort zone. If you pay 1,59 € for a product you won't regret picking the wrong colour. I must say that I like this colour very much. It is redder than the other two products, although it's still a lttle bit muted. The lipliner applies nicely, doesn't emphasise dry patches and doesn't dry out the lips. Staying power is not so great, since it doesn't survive eating. If you don't eat then it should be just fine ;)
Ok, so the colours are similar, that is true, but the finishes are different and when put next to each other you can see the difference. All is good then.
If I would have to choose just one, I would choose the lipliner. It's a beautiful red and the formula is good. The secon favourite is probably sheer & shine lipstick, just because is so easy to use and you don't have to worry if you have just a line around your lips, since this won't happen (it disappears completely) and you can even (re)apply it as easy as a lipbalm, without any problems.
Have a great day!
