I have this in the shade 12 Behind The Scenes, a medium plum shade. Basic packaging. Silver lower bullet, shade colour on the lid. Does have a sweet scent, not unpleasant. Creamy formula with a shine finish. Not uncomfortable on the lips. Really enjoy this for an affordable lipstick. Would repurchase in other shades.

With my dry winter lips I was looking for a tinted lip balm, but had pretty much given up. Then one day at the Essence stand in Farmers, I shelled out a big $6 for a nude shade. It was just so I could wear 'something' on days when my lips are too dry for the usual lipsticks. I became addicted! I went back for a Berry shade, then a Ruby. Try them out, you'll see why. I favour these over most of my lipsticks!
These chubby little lipsticks are a cross between a balm and a lipstick. Quite a lot of colour coverage which goes on instantly, slick and glossy, but easy to wear. A pleasant unobtrusive scent and classic colours. No bleeding, no staining, a little sticky so you know it's still there. Yes, you need to touch up every now and again, and after food. It doesn't promise to be a long wear lipstick though, so nothing lost.
Sadly, I have bought all of the shades that will suit me. Hopefully these will be a regular staple at Farmers!
Tips: Revlon Balm Stain is a comparable product to this but Essence have the better formula and colour payoff.
These are cheap as chips and come in a range of nice colours. I bought a brown nude which I loved and had bought several times but unfortunately they stopped producing that specific colour, though there are still other nice ones. These are light and creamy plus smell and taste nice too. I like the shine they provide and colour payoff.
Tips: Try these you can't go wrong at these prices.
