Essence Lipstick Review

As soon as I saw the Essence stand at my local farmers I headed straight over to the lipstick section. I grabbed a nude lippy in 63 Flattering Nude. Most lipstick colours were sold out as I purchased this as soon as the Essence range came out at Farmers.

The lipstick is in your average lipstick tube with a lid you pull off, then wind the lipstick up. The lippy smells heavenly like vanilla. I love the scent! The formula of this lipstick is so creamy and moisturizing. Its crazy how well it applies! It lasts quite a long time but it can transfer at first but after a while it actually stays on my lips. I intend on buying more of these as they are little gems for such a cheap affordable price.

These currently cost $5.20 each at Farmers and I picked up three: Coral Calling (bright coral), Love Me (muted coral) and Cool Nude (darkish nude). I'm mad about all of them and at the price they are I will go back and pick up a few extras to keep in my classroom/car/etc. They feel great. Really moisturising and creamy. The colour is excellent and they're well pigmented. Also very flattering colours - both "Love Me" and "Cool Nude" were great sort of my-lips-but-better shades for my pale skin. I'm yet to make a decision on wear time. As far as I can tell, it's pretty good - and for the price, I don't mind reapplying after eating. The packaging is great - they seal well and have a nice matte finish. I'm quite comfortable flinging them in my handbag and trusting them to stay shut. I love these and I'll be sure to buy more of them. I do wish we had more colours available! I hear there are bolder shades in the range, but I've yet to see them at Farmers.

Every time I visit the Essence stand at my local Farmers I always swatch their lippies (& end up buying one). They are super affordable, creamy formula and wear quite well. I find the matte ones wear longer for me, are really pigmented and don’t dry out my lips. The packaging is decent, hasn’t broken and the lid stays on so can’t ask for more really. Am sure I will be adding to my collection next time I am in Farmers.

I can't find the lipgloss to review but I can say that I would not know how to live without their lipgloss. I love it to death,

I love essence so much. Their lipsticks are by far my favourites. They are very inexpensive and worth it! There are tons of colours to choose from and more to come too. I recently bought new shades from the latest collection. They are very pigmented and they are very long lasting. The packaging is really pretty. They are very easy to apply and the texture is really nice and soft. I can't wait for my collection of these lipsticks to grow even more!

I picked the shade "Get The Look" up at Farmers recently because I wanted to try a pale pink but didn't want to spend a lot on it incase I didn't like it.

As a lipstick it is creamy but not particularly long lasting. Like a lot of cheap lipsticks it also has a bit of an unpleasant taste on the lips. However its quality does feel like a more expensive lipstick in terms of things like how creamy it is.

The shade I got is very pale, however I've discovered that allows it to be very versatile. Mix it with a bright matte pink and you can create a great MAC dupe and a barbie pink that lasts nearly all day.

I'm planning to get all the shades I would like to try but aren't really sure are my shade from this range and just have fun playing with different colours.

In terms of packaging, the plastic is relatively cheap, but the line of colour they use does exactly match the lipstick bullet as promised.

Also note at Farmers they are $5.40.

I recently picked up this lipstick in the shade "Cosnova" and I absolutely love it. This dark red is very pigmented for the price. I was rather skeptical about how good this would be given the price. But I have fallen in love. This lipstick applies so smoothly and looks absolutely gorgeous on. I can't wait to purchase more of these.

There are SO many things that i love about this range of lipsticks. 1. The value - cheap for your wallet, but not 'cheap looking' 2. They look wonderful on 3. There is such a huge range - something for everyone from Matt, to glossy to long lasting and they come in every colour you can think of.

I would recommend these lippies to anyone and everyone. There is nothing i can fault them on.

I wasn't expecting much for the price but boy was I surprised! I love the colour range, the long-lasting wear, how they feel on my lips, and how non-drying they are (a real bug-bear). I also love how Essence don't test on animals. And did I mention the price? Wow! I really didn't expect much for such a low price but these lipsticks are among the best I've used (and I've used practically every brand over the years). As a 47-year old mother of teenagers, I'm probably not their target audience yet they suit me perfectly. As I have dry skin and the beginnings of vertical lip lines (oh joy!), the fact that these lipsticks are moisturising is a real bonus. I'm a fan - I'll keep buying them as long as they keep making them!

I purchased one of the Essence lipstick in the colour Go Berries, it's a nice fuchsia/plum colour.

The first thing I noticed about the essence lipsticks while swatching in store was how creamy + pigmented they are. I decided to buy one to try out. I found that the lipstick wasn't drying, lasted for a decent amount of time (around 2 hours before I had to re-apply). I was glad that it didn't stain my lips so when it did wear off it wasn't crazy noticeable.

I found I didn't need to apply a lip balm underneath as it was so moisturising as it is. I'm going to go buy more colours soon since they are so cheap!

I have the lipstick in the black container (don't know how they differ) But I love the packaging of it - the other lipsticks packaging remind me of elf + nyx lipsticks they look kind of cheap but for what you pay you really can't complain!
